VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments I'm thinking I, J L or O ??


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Lol. I'm down with O.


message 3969: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Brown in title is HARD, out of my twelvety million books I have exactly none that have brown in the title lol


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Lol. I didn't even realize we had a new title.

Yeah, no to those colors. I prefer new colors.


message 3971: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't 4 colour titles and 3 are the same lol


message 3972: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments New colors would be good


message 3973: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments O sounds good to me as well.


message 3974: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Is there one where we get rid of color bonuses altogether?!
Just thought I'd ask... :)

I think the harder ones are where you have to have the word in the title. We need all "find the text in the book" ones!!


message 3975: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Or maybe we should respin? Then we may get a chance for an extinct team word since we want new color bonuses anyway?


message 3976: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments That's a good idea too!


message 3977: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments But would we get new colours if we respin or would it just be the word?


message 3978: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Oh, tricky! We don't want that...yikes!


message 3979: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Maybe we just stick with using O!


message 3980: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2388 comments Well, just in case, I finished Gold in the the title...https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


message 3981: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments So we now have 2 GOLD color in title books...maybe we could just finish out this word...but only do it once??

I have another Gold and Brown in title book...


message 3982: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Yay !!!

I like that idea... only because I don't want to have wasted that read this morning ;-) But, really, I'm good with whatever...


message 3984: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments sounds good to me, it does mean that we'll have an extra colour though after we've rolled for another word

When does the new week start? Is it possible we just hold off spinning again until then? That would put us back down to 5, right?


message 3986: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments They sure do make this hard ;)

I'm good with whatever as well!


message 3987: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments It's on Saturdays so it's another week to wait, and we are on 6 now so we would stay at 6 if we rolled again then


message 3988: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I think I have some gold and brown titles. Does tan count as brown? In my world it does but sometimes my world is a bit off...

Check tinyeye, since that's the tool to go by.. Maaaybe it'll give you a clear answer on that.
Sometimes I think tan looks brown, sometimes I think it doesn't. Not the easiest shade to decide on hehe.

A respin should be a complete respin. So word and colours. But don't quote me on it.

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Before we make a final decision on what to do with the bonus, here are 2 things to consider:

1. We have finished the boast 4 times, which means we have 4 bonus at our disposal to use whenever we feel like it.

2. Wheel-a-Thon is a 4 week event and we just started our 4th week. Friday will be the cut-off date, if everything continues to go the way it has up until now. (Captains don't have details yet but will probably get them in the next couple of days and then countdowns will be posted, too.)

Some of those will definitely work for gold text on cover!
(Though that we actually have with ST's book already.)


message 3998: by LaurLa (last edited Aug 13, 2016 01:18PM) (new)

LaurLa | 2388 comments I say we complete the word once since I think we're pretty close to it anyway then spin for a new word. Even though we'll get another color task, maybe it'll be a better mix and not 3 of the same word in the title... and if it's just as bad, then we start using up the bonuses?


message 3999: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Those were my brown titles???

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
