message 4201: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2388 comments Did I read the rules correctly and no left over banked books can be used for bingo?

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Exactly, LaurLa!

Which is why K, V, and I are currently playing with the books and are doing some colourless spell-outs of The Night Circus. We've got one ready to go and a second almost ready.

And then we'll see. Once we're ready to move on to the next word, that's when we'll use all the colour tasks for our current word.

We're trying to clear out the bank as much as possible before the Friday deadline.

Jessica | 296 comments I have Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on audio waiting. We could use that one for the train square (Hogwarts Express)

Can't get better than the Hogwarts Express for the train picture! :-)

We had the spot picked out quite early on when we got the word. :-)


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Hi girls, I'm in the airport on my layover Atlanta on my way to Jamaica.

To bad Curran can't meet me here. Lol.

Bingo sounds crazy. I'm use to it though.

I'll take mittens. I can read my hockey romance Empty Net (Scoring Chances #4) by Avon Gale


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments E, according to Amazon it's 245 pages.


message 4214: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Completed Truthwitch

I didn't get a chance to add my completion of The Surgeon to the SS and I don't see it in banked books. Should I add it now?

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Yes if you could Jessica that would be great thanks

You know what I just realised?

Friday, i.e. the deadline, is tomorrow.

Sometimes bank holidays are not a good thing, they completely screw with my sense of time. But hooray, TGIF soon ;-)

End of Wheel-a-Thon Countdown

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I finished

Alexandria | 149 comments So do we know what pattern we want to do? I will for sure finish The Surgeon by tomorrow night and I was just wondering what I should look for to start Saturday.


message 4223: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Now, I'll be off to bed and K will keep watch over last minute developments for the last spell-out of The Night Circus.

YOUR job for the rest of the day is to keep your fingers crossed that we're getting an awesome last word with fantastic colour tasks so that we can rock that thing before the deadline tomorrow ;-)

G'night!

Ah no, pattern hasn't been decided yet. Nobody stated any preferences yet either.

We might just go for a black-out first time around.

Basically in that case I'd suggest picking a square you know you have something to read for, and then we'll go from there.

Is there a particular square you'd like to snag?


message 4225: by Alexandria (new)

Alexandria | 149 comments Okay I just wanted to make sure. I didnt look too hard at our card yet. Ill see what ive got.


message 4226: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
I'm sure you'll find something! :-)
And since the pictures are somewhat flexible on interpretation... that can be a big help!

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Night E x


message 4231: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2388 comments I'm not sure how those patterns work. So after you choose a pattern do you complete it then earn that 'prize' to use later?

Bummer, do we still need a green book then??

I believe that's how it works BUT I read the information last night when my brain was mush so I need to re-read it to retain something more than the highlights... :(


message 4235: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I'm reading our last book needed to submit another word and request new. We don't know if we'll have time to complete but what the heck!

If anyone has a pink cover book done before me - I will be happy to use it!

Here is the link to the LOVELY COLOR EXTRACTOR if anyone is interested in checking out the pinkness of their reads! :)


message 4236: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I'm back home, so use me as needed for any book needs :D

Hubby is out, so it's just me and the kindle!


message 4237: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments We had a super hard time finding a pink book that worked using that dang color extractor. (60%+)

I'm reading Colleen Hoover's "It Ends With Us" which worked and I have and I am excited to read. It's just that it's 11 hour audio so may not finish it until laaaaate...


message 4238: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Let me know K, I have a pink book that's 180 pages, fairly short if you don't want to spend that much time

Pink Smog (Weetzie Bat, #0) by Francesca Lia Block


message 4239: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I really don't mind reading it but just feel bad we can't submit for new word until I finish it. :(


message 4240: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments No worries K! We're doing good :)


message 4241: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments For BINGO...I really need to read Royal Assassin

Royal Assassin (Farseer Trilogy, #2) by Robin Hobb ...which could be three word title or 2nd in series.

Been holding off on the longer books for Wheelathon...

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments On your mark....


message 4244: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments What do we think?


message 4245: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments We're just doing the word without bonus' right?


message 4246: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I think we have to do the bonus for the last submission of the word... so it would be with the bonus... BUT, I think we have some Milon boosts we could probably apply towards what we don't have...

Since the books don't carry over, I'm going through the spreadsheet now to see what we have covered...


message 4247: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Amazingly, I believe we are in pretty good shape for this long shot last word! I've added all books except for one...

and we need an 'L'.

I haven't looked for 'pink' or 'brown' in the text yet either but surely it's there somewhere in our pile o' books... and we have 18 hours to get that fleshed out. :)

Heading to bed now.. maybe will start on an "L" book if I can find something to go to sleep to...


message 4248: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Whoo hoo!!


message 4249: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I still have some time before bed, I can start an L.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Hey girls, I'm winding down here but wanted to put some choices in for books while I'm coherent. Lol.

2nd in a series:Don't Twunk With My Heart
Title starts with B:Blind Date
Gummi Bears: Bear Among the Books
