I'll go back thru & look over my list again....thanks for helping me keep things straight...
I'll get a list or two up tomorrow, I would have had them up soon, but I have been busy
Sometimes it's hard to catch all of the posts especially when hubby interrupts me with silly demands as I. What's for supper? Lol
Ok I do believe I have added all of our books correctly now...we still have about 2 days to go so keep those books coming....
Time for some more last minute motivation!!
Renee. How am I suppose to use that to motivate me to read. He's just too dang good looking I want to have a fifty shades of grey moment with him. Wow Lol
Fifty shades starts with F and that's one of our letters......I've finished I Am Not A Serial Killer. I - title, N - Dr Neblin
Finished my last book for this week -The Ocean by Mia Castile.
Letters: O (Title)
C (Author)
T (Travis Nichols - Character)

Updated post 4We have completed our first read through.
Currently on 160 + 15 + 20 = 195 points for this week.
Checked through everyone's wheelathon shelves, and found one of Dawns I had missed. Everything else looks in order. Will update once Erin marks her books read.

I haven't seen anything either...no PMs either on this end...
im not planning to post our Week 2 results for another hour & a half....so we have a bit time yet..hopefully she will get back to us shortly...
Erin has marked 2 books as read this week, but not on her wheelathon shelf. One has a T in the title, I can juggle our books to fit that if need be. The other book I can't see a way to fit.Yes, my competitive nature has me stalking everyone!
Ha, It's so funny. IRL I am the least competitive person I know, but something happens to me in these challenges....

Did you enjoy it Dawn? I thought it was beautiful.
Addded to post 4.
i did..i can't believe it took me so long to get around to reading it..
Im going to post in about 45 mins...Renee Im having severe bad weather where I am ~if I havent posted by 5 mins to 11 your time will you post for me....we may lose electric because it is storming something terrible.The spreadsheet is updated thru post 276....
No worries Sallie! I'm loitering at the computer.
I just shuffled our books and added one of Erins books from her read shelf and added a link to her read shelf.
I do believe the worst of the storm is over...yeah...my kitty Hootie & my corgi Jezebelle are glued to my side...they hate storms....Rastus my other corgi is probably buried under the bed, well at least his head is, his rump will not fit...lol...12 mins until posting time....
Poor puppies. Counting down......
I'll let Karen know what I did with Erins book - I'll be helping her check the other teams.
Ok I have posted Week 2 reading, so Im just waiting for the next spin of the wheel....
Ok everyone - our spin of the wheel has picked for us: MIDDLE GRADE
Good letters - thank goodness no "O"'s this week. What's some examples of Middle Grade books? Is that like Young Adult but for mid teens?
I found one that I can do that fits I think.The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians. (My link thingy isn't working.)
I had a terrible time getting the genre for middle grade to work...they are childrens books geared toward ages 8-12....one of the other teams had this last week & they had a terrible time with page counts so make sure that which ever edition you use has at least the minimum of 160 pages allowed.

great - Lisa, that book is on the list so that would be awesome if you read that one...
No Problem - I have seen the movie and really liked it. I'm just about to finish my current book which fits heaps of this week's letter too so I'll start Percy Jackson tonight.
I have Peter Pan lined up. Also works for Middle grade and with all the Darling children, can cover one of our many D's.

that was my first thought too for middle grade, also
Hatchet or Holes probably work too..excellent books..
lots of D's this round..I have
Second Grave on the Left by Darynda Jones checked out from the library so I can read that one next week..
