The Book-Wheel-Mobile
I remember the book mobile coming around! (Slightly newer version, perhaps.)

Closest would be when the discount book sale would come to school, and take over the gym into a treasure trove of cheap books!
There is a library on wheels bus that comes to a street next to my place... but I never went to see how it works
Apparently there is a mobile library that visits the village I now live in. We've only live here for a month or so, so we haven't seen it yet.
Eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! I was going to sit out challenges before the end of the year but the wheel... I can't resist the wheel.......
I'm afraid I am sitting this one out. Just too much going on this time of year, and still have another team challenge going on on top! :(We never had a mobile library either, but for a fun story featuring one, I recommend The Uncommon Reader!
I've signed up for this... against my better judgement
I'm curious and inviting the crew 🤭🤭
I've never played this challenge before but I'm excited. We have a Book Mobile in my town but it only goes to special events like fairs or reading festivals.
Count me in! Just when I thought I was done with challenges this year...was hoping Wheel would come back.

Hello, hello!! 😊🥳 Scampers off to check possible books about mobile libraries.
And off course the "wheels on the bus" song just started playing in my head. ...

Sammy, you will be sorely missed. 😞
The Uncommon Reader is a perfect little book, its only drawback is that it's only 120 pages. Otherwise absolutely recommended by me as well. 😀

She will. I might even shy from putting up a planning spreadsheet... My favorite planner won't be playing
Awww, sorry guys. Just not going to work this time. Especially as I'll be missing the first week (and won't be reading much during that time either), due to spending it traipsing around a desert, lol.I'll play Uno in the new year, and whatever comes after that (I'm guessing TT) :)

LOL I wish you hadn't said that because now I can't stop singing it at least in my head! lol
This should be an interesting take on Wheels! I love this challenge and look forward to it every year. This year we will be in Cabo San Lucas from Nov 16-26 but that will only involve 1 book that will have to be read before we get back, I think so I'll be able to work it out with whichever team I am on.
Got some travel in late Nov. too so I'm hoping to get some audiobooks. Didn't want to miss out on Wheels.
I'm traveling for a week in December. But I signed up. I assume as long as I let my team know and I still hit my quota for the month that I'll be all right. Going to Disney with a group of friends so I doubt I'll read anything that week.
I can't resist a wheel challenge!We have a bookmobile in our area, but I love going into the library to browse and haven't ever used it. There is a mystery series with a bookmobile and a cat at my library.... Here it is! First book in the series is
. It's a cozy mystery.

With the weather getting colder, a cozy mystery sounds like a good book to curl up in, especially one with a cat and a bookmobile.
I ended up submitting the form twice to change my books per week. Please use the one with 2 books per week.
Excited for another Wheel and the opportunity to play with former team mates and meet new people! No book mobile in my current city or where I grew up, but I love that it was and still is in existence!
We never had the book mobile growing up, but had a book fair a few times a year that was my happy place.
I've been doing some thinking... I really don't think I can participate at all, I'm neck-deep in my thesis and based on past experience, I probably won't (want to) read at all for a good while :(So sad cause wheel's my favorite 🥲
I remember the book mobile coming around to my school when I was younger. I love wheel. Excited to meet my team members. Also, am I the only one that is a little nuts and making a TBR already.

I'm completely new to this challenge & have just submitted my signup form. Fingers crossed :0)Bookmobile comes to my suburb every Friday 7.30-9.30am.
I didn't have a book mobile, but the library was nearby. Also, there was a yearly book fair and that was huge, but just before covid, the book fair stopped. Now there's a new one, but not so big. I never went to it.
just submitted I've been off GR a bit and just saw the challenge
We had a bookmobile where I grew up - it was great when it came around!(Now I have visions of Joan Cusak driving that old bookmobile in the American Girl series Kit Kitridge movie haha.)

cool beans, thanks Cat!
Moderators of NBRC wrote: "All teams will also be getting bonus points for books tagged SPACE OPERA used in your spellouts - get planning!"Did I read somewhere that the tag has to be on the first page of Top Shelves? Or am I imaging that?

I think the answer is that it has to have 10 tags, is that right?
Not sure where to ask, can you open Gatsby for a bit so I can save some co-captain spots? Please and thank you!
