Welcome to Team Ferrol and Wheel-a-thon XI!!Gather your books, charge your favorite e-reader, and join us in exploring the world of Elan. Please read through the rules for wheel (linked in the posts above), and let Teddie and I know if you have any questions.
I'm Deanna, your captain for this adventure. I read mostly fantasy, paranormal, science fiction, and mystery, but I occasionally venture into other genres as the mood strikes me. I live in Virginia and spend my time doing classwork for an accounting degree, working retail full time, and wrangling our dog and 3 cats.
Please take a moment to introduce yourself and post your wheel shelf. I look forward to loads of books and lots of fun!
Hi all Keli here. I’ve played with many of you before. So soz if you’ve heard this. I’m a Texan living in England. I’ve lived here for 23 years! I get back home ( to the US) about every other year. I read anything but my fave genres are fantasy and science fiction. I bought the first two books of the Riyria series. I’ve never heard of this series, so I’m looking forward to it.
My shelf is https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
I look forward to reading and winning with y’all!😉
Hi Team! I'll read any genre but tend to gravitate back to fantasy and mysteries - funny, I rate books the same way Keli does too - lol. I've read a few of the Riyria books, but haven't yet finished a sub-series - planning to do so in this challenge.
Look forward to playing with everyone!
Hello everyone! It’s great to be back on your team, Deanna. Just a quick note to let you know I’ll be away for a week but will return before the challenge begins. I’ll share a proper introduction once I’m back!
Hi everyone!I’ve been on a team with several of you but it’s been a while since I’ve been with Teddie and Deanna. I’ve captained with Teddie at least once in the past.
I’ve read the first 2 riyria books so hopefully this will push me to read some more of the series.
I’m from the UK and live about an hour south of London with husband (he who created the mazes), 2 children and a 6 month old puppy. On top of that I’m a GP so I keep myself busy! Can sympathise with Deanna’s level of activity.
Until recently I’ve been on the mod squad, but I’ve taken a step back so don’t know more than the rest of the team about what is heading our way (other than educated guesses about how they think).
Hi everyone. I'm Shan. I live in Louisiana. I read a lot of romance, but I do read other genre such as, but not limited to Mystery, Horror, Memoirs, YA Fantasy, etc...
When not reading, I either working, listening to music, which I'm doing as I type, or watching TV. I also love hanging with my kids, my sister, and my grandbabies and my niece and nephew when they come visit. All of those kids are 7 and under, and although they are a handful, they can be hilarious.
I will admit that I join too many challenges and I have to force myself to do something besides read, unless it involves people. And sometimes even then. 😂

So someone asked a good question in the Medford chat. Many of the books have been reissued as 2 in 1. Will this count as 2 books or 1. I bought Theft of Swords which contains books 1 and 2. Do I have to read the whole thing for it to count? Can I claim the books separately?
Keli wrote: "So someone asked a good question in the Medford chat. Many of the books have been reissued as 2 in 1. Will this count as 2 books or 1. I bought Theft of Swords which contains books ..."Generally, the version you read and add to your shelf is what is counted. So Theft of Swords is counted as one 691 page book.
@Shan: too many challenges? Is that really possible? ;)@Sophie - fun to be on same team again!
@Alayna: Enjoy your trip!
Hi everyone! I'm Jackie. I live in North Carolina. I'm retired so generally have a lot of time to read. I'll read almost anything but fantasy, mystery, horror, and science fiction are my favorites. I have read several of the Riyria but it's been quite a while so I might do some rereads. Looking forward to this version of Wheel and reading with you all.My shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Looking forward to the challenge! I'm in Ohio, US. I read a lot of horror, sci fi, and thriller but I'll read just about anything and I love to read translated books. My shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...Before I forget again, this is my shelf.
Stacey - if you enjoy thrillers and translated books, the Harry Hole series has been very well done.
Hi all, just checking it - great to jump from one challenge to another! I am Nistha, originally from India but living in the UK.Recently, was in TT teams with Teddie and had a lot of fun in it :)
Looking forward to this (though I have a bit of holidays here and there)

Yay! Everybody's here!The mods should be releasing the team sheets soon, and we'll get a tracking sheet set up soon after that.
Deanna will be spinning for our starting 3 Wheel of Fates soon, so we can start looking at those tasks as well.
Is everyone starting to gather their U, Q, and X books? ;)
Wanted to mention too, that in addition to our regularly scheduled BOMs, the NBRC Back Room group is reading 
which won't win the Pulitzer anytime soon, but the discussion's hilarity more than makes up for it.
Queens of the Jungle discussion thread
The other upcoming September BOMs are:
starting September 2
DISCUSSION THREAD
Starting September 16
DISCUSSION THREAD
(These titles and links will all be on the tracking sheet as well.)
