We have a new word! We have a new word!

YODELLING

Tags are Switzerland / Mountain /freedom /breathing /winter

who said the chipmunks were not full swing?!

[Sammy]

Our new word is up, and we're YODELLING!

Still no Q or Z :( lol

[Sammy]

And our tags next round will be: Freedom, Winter, Mountain, Switzerland, Breathing.

Winter sounds promising, not so sure about the rest! lol.

[Sonia]

I think the wheel spin gods are conspiring about the Ty&Zane read I would certainly have all teams doing.

LOL

I think The Help is tagged as Freedom. It is on my TBR for a while.... not sure if I'm in a HF mood though

[Sonia]

Uh Angels & Demons is shelved 21 times as switzerland...

[Sammy]

Sonia wrote: "Uh Angels & Demons is shelved 21 times as switzerland..."

Not going there again! lol.

I have The Bear and the Nightingale waiting to be read, which is tagged winter. Now to see if I can make it fit a letter! lol.

[Sammy]

The Golden Compass is also tagged winter

[Rokkan]

dangit I just finished The Mountain Between US for this fortnight >.<

Pretty sure I have a few more books worthy of the mountain tag though

[Sammy]

And The Shining! Score!

[Sammy]

Snow on the ground counts as winter scene on the cover, right?

Oh my!
It is cute and all, but yeah, after a min or more......
lol!

[Sammy]

I need a new copy of The Shining... Just took mine off the shelf and the cover came off in my hands, as well as the first few pages. Luckily amazon is to the rescue, lol.

you were! you popped up JUST as I was about to do the spinning, so now you think it is all your doing! ;-P

Sorry for no Q or Zs guys, but the wheel did what the wheel did

Teehee!

It's taking all my willpower to leave those books alone, but at least this round is pretty easy, I think. :)

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

On recomended list from our team is
Frankenstein -Switzerland tag

Also
The Underground Railroad & Educated - Freedom tag

Just fyi!

[Sammy]

Something tells me we're not going to struggle to fill the tags this round :)

[Sonia]

I saw The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon in one of the tags too, not sure which one.

My sister is trying to convince me to get back to the King with that one for a while.

[EDIT]: found it! Shelved 22 times as mountain

Cat wrote: "you were! you popped up JUST as I was about to do the spinning, so now you think it is all your doing! ;-P"

Actually, I don't. I might think that for the first spin, BUT, I was pretty sure you were at least thinking about it.... I just decided to tease you in case you were planning on torture us with the waiting.

:P

I have seen it on more than one of this rounds words.

Agree!

[Mandiann]

So....I am really struggling with my Y book. Does anyone have a book that is slated for another letter that works for Y? Maybe we can trade spots?

Also, how much colour does a book need to be to count for colour covers? is 50% blue, according to tineye. Is that enough or should I figure out a different task for it?

[Sonia]

That bear looks bluish... so using Mr Karen's approach I'd say it's blue.

[Sonia]

Lemme see if the second Demon Magic book also has Yoko. If so, I can read it in a few hours, no worries about it

[Sonia]

Yeah, Yoko is in it. I'll pause my current book and tackle that one instead!

[Mandiann]

Sonia wrote: "Yeah, Yoko is in it. I'll pause my current book and tackle that one instead!"


Thank you so much, Sonia!

What letter does your current book work for? I can pick up something else short or I can cover one of the still open letters in our last word.

[Sonia]

Mine was an E, but I might finish both. I have a calm day at work tomorrow, so I can sneak it too :)

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Hi everybody. I was going to post the new word and tags but decided to see if Sammy had done it but I see Sonia and Sammy got them up. Hahaha Oh the fun with this new set. Let me see what I have coming up that will work.

[Sammy]

Great minds and all that :D

[Sammy]

Goooood evening ladies and gents! We're a little over half way in our little road trip now, and today we find ourselves in the East North Central area, where the first stop is Michigan! Even for those of us outside of the US, Michigan is well known for it's industry, especially the automotive industry in Detroit...



And while we're in the region, we're gonna swing by Ohio too...



That's it for today's stop... join us in a couple of days to see the sights in Illinois!

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

Wow Sammy, just wow!
You keep impressing me with the views you find for us to ogle appriciate the topography of those lovely abs. *clears throat* Yes, just such nice views.

LOL I have to agree with you 😋😁

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

Just went thru the spreadsheet and updated my books for this round (nine). So, fingers crossed I got them all with dates, tasks etc, and everything should be on my wheel bookshelf and marked as read.

I am now going to focus on my longer book for GISH for the next few days.

Back for Yodelling soon.
😉

Question:
Does any of the already read/intended books for this round have a spare U?

The reason I ask is I intend to read the BOTM Dear Martin and can fit that in this round, but AFAIK it doesn't have an U.

So, if we can swap any of those spare U books with this, we can complete the last spell-out on the spreadsheet.

"Dear Martin" works for E, G, T, N, C, R, and S from what I see prima facie.

[Sonia]

Lemme check if any of my Unbreakable Bonds books are used on a different letter

[Sonia]

Devour, Blaze, Ignite and Rialto can all be used as Us, they are currently used for I.

However, The Blueprint and A Deeper Blue, have an I character, and are currently used for T and E, so, there are swap options.

[Sammy]

I'm sure we can move things around to fit, thanks Sonia :)

[Sonia]

Anytime!

Now if only my boss stopped making me think about work so I can read....

[Sammy]

Everyone getting on ok with your books? I should finish my last one for this week tonight, then I'm going to concentrate on books for next round. It's been a pretty good round for me reading-wise.

Give us a holler if you think you're not going to manage any of your planned books so we can re-shuffle them some :)

[Sonia]

I'm going to finish my last book for the round today...

[Sammy]

You've been on a roll this challenge Sonia!

[Sonia]

Yeah. It helps me to keep a little of my sanity.... Otherwise I'll start chewing some heads

[Sammy]

I know that feeling! someone asked me last week how I've managed to get through lockdown without murdering people, and I told them "By putting my headphones on and ignoring everyone" lol!

Exactly!
Just wish the people in my house understood how often they put their lives in danger by pestering me.

LOL thanks I'm going to be going through stuff soon.

[Sarah]

I should be a be able to finish Mexican Gothic and Boyfriend From Hell by the deadline tomorrow. Hungry Hearts is the only one I'm not sure I'll be able to finish.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Ok I'll rearrange stuff in the morning

[Apoorv]

Cappies, links to my discussion questions for the BOM, Dear Martin. Will add others, if required, in a wee bit.
DQs - Day 1
DQs - Day 2

[Apoorv]

Cap Cap Cappies, just wanted to let you know that I have added, Dear Martin for an E on a new spellout #8.

If we move
Sonia's Ignite from I (Spellout #5) to U (Spellout #7), and
Sonia's A Deeper Blue from E (Spellout #6) to I (Spellout #5),
we can squeeze in "Dear Martin" in the vacant E (Spellout #6), thus completing out seventh spellout.
