Marie - we can still count your book read yesterday.

Since it's the first week and we got our spins early, any books read on the 12th will count for this challenge. We got an extra day!

Okay, so here's where we are right now:

H - Logan - Highlander series & "history" shelf
I - Nay Nay - Into the Deep
S - Stephanie - character Samantha
T - Stephanie - Trouble in Texas
O - Karen - Oscar Wilde
R - Nay Nay - Richard Mabry
Y - Marie - Rick Yancey

I've got a couple of possibilities for I and Y. Marie, if you don't want to read Monstrumologist, let us know.

If needed...

This morning I started Into the Deep by Samantha Young it well work with I & Y

Great! Thanks Nay Nay!

Book:The Horse and His Boy by C.S.Lewis
Date read:13/7/14
Letters:H or S(?)
Genre points:no

I will read The Monstrumologist by the end of the week, so no worries.

Per Karen, C.S. Lewis can't be used for S. Only first and last initials.

But we can still use it for H! Any letters we finish after the first spell it out nets us 10 more points. So even if someone has already claimed a letter, post anything that could be counted to this thread!

after i finish my book i'm gonna read Flirting with Texas which can be used for 'S' with the characters last name (Jenna Jay Scroggs)

I've created a on Google Drive. If there are better ways to organize it, I'm open to suggestions.

I listed books by title, and in parentheses how it qualifies (if not obvious by title). I used italics for books that qualify for genre points.

I'll put a link in message 7 so it's easy to find the spreadsheet when you want to look at it or edit it.

I also updated Message 7 with the books finished and posted up to here. Please let me know if I missed something!

Also, make sure you add the books you finish to your wheel-a-thon shelf!

Psst...If you're looking for a specific letter to complete your team's spell-it-out, check out our Lending Library for Nook and Kindle users.

I'm gonna start reading Lily and the Major which will work for 'O' with the series title (Orphan Train series)

Genre Points: Yes

I'm gonna start reading Quinn which can be used for 'R' with the Authors name or 'O' with the character. do you know if we can spell out our word more then 2 times?

Yes, we can spell the word any number of times, but the complete word must be filled out before getting points for additional letters.

So we can spell HISTORY three times, but if we have 4 R books, we can only claim those 10 points after we have 3 of all the other letters.

Hello Ladies,

I'm sorry I been MIA, been at the hospital for two days. It seems we are spelling our genre again. I just finished a book by Kelly Irvin if we need another "I"

Beautiful, thanks Nay Nay!

It was my father, we have been battling a long time health issue....thanks for the concern though.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

I've updated Post 7 with books completed to here.

I've updated the spreadsheet to show books I know are in progress. When Stephanie, Karen, and Marie finish their books we'll be ready for our third spelling! Some teams are already well into their third spellings, so we are in good shape, but we can still do more. :)

I also reformatted the spreadsheet, so hopefully it's a little easier to follow.

I started reading My Fair Captain, which so far will work for S (series), and H, T, R (character).

We are doing really great everyone! Once we get a Y finished we'll be able to count all the great books we're racking up for our third spelling!

Keep up the good reading!!

I just finished a book....I have a 'Y' book I could start.

You Make Me by Erin McCarthy

That'd be great Nay Nay. I know Marie is working on a Y book, too, but we can use another one in our 3rd spelling!

Book: The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey
Date read:17/7/14
Works for: Y
Genre points:well, I'm not sure, it's been listed as "historical" 75 times.

Book:Game for Trouble by Karen Erickson

Genre points:no

Book: Game for Marriage by Karen Erickson

Works for: S (Character Sheridan)
Genre points:no
p.s. not sure about this one, it has only 170pp, and I'm not sure if there's a page number requirement. :D

Sorry I'm a bit behind in posting. Had to actually do some work -damn you real life.

No problem, Marie! Thanks for the update.

Also, I think we can only claim genre points once anyway.

And the page minimum is 160 so you're good!

Second spelling is complete!

By my count, with Marie's completed books, and the books that the rest of is are currently reading, that leaves only I left to fill for our 3rd spelling.

Then we can go on to claim points for a 4th round. Awesome!

Important Reminder

We have until 11am Australia EST Sunday to post our points. This is 8pm CDT Saturday for me here in Chicago, which is 29 hours from now.

I will keep my eye on this thread for any last minute books, but in order to make sure I have enough time to verify any last minute books and get the post copied over to the thread, any books finished and posted to this thread after 7:30pm US CDT/10:30am AU EST may not be counted.

In short, please try to finish your books and post to this thread 30 minutes before the deadline. Happy reading!

Sorry , I had already read it but I forgot to post it :
Book & Author: " The picture of Dorian Gray " by Oscar Wilde
Date Read: 14/07/14
Works For:"O" author last name
Genre Points: no
I read two other books ," shiver "by Maggie Stiefvater and "Sweet peril" by Wendy Higgins , but I don' know if we can use them...

That's great Karen! Yes, we can use those for extra points! Make sure you put them on your read shelf in addition to your Wheelathon shelf and I'll assign them a spot.

Right now The Picture of Dorian Gray isn't marked as "read" which means we can't use it as the Mods have to be able to verify the date you read it. If you're not sure how to tag it with the date, let me know and I can help!

Thanks for all the reading this week! I've been messaging with Karen about how to tag her books as read. If they're not tagged by 7:30 I'm going to have to post without her books this week. But we still read a lot and did really well!!
