IT'S A PERKS CONNECTED READ-A-THON
As a group let's see what we can read in the month of March and have a Read-A-Thon with a twist!
How this works...
* Each book needs to "connect" to the last one posted
* "Connects" can be based on by genre, author, title, character names, colour of cover, same award won or number of pages
* As soon as you have a book that you have read in Sept 2015 that can connect to the last one, post it with the reasons it "connects" and the running tally for you, and for the group for the month, and let's see how many books we can read and connect in the month!
EXAMPLE
Post 1:
Kristie posts:
Mr. MercedesKristie's tally - 1 book
Perks Group tally - 1 book
Post 2:
Karen Posts
The Girl Who Saved the King of SwedenConnected by: "King" (author and then title)
Karen's tally: 1 book
Perks group tally: 2 books
Post 3:
Kristie posts:
The Girl with the Dragon TattooConnected by: Cover colour is yellow
Kirstie's tally: 2 books
Perks group tally: 3 books
.... hopefully you get the idea....
NOTE: You can read any book of any length, children's books and graphic novels also count. Please just remember to check the tally of the book ahead of you and add up the tally as you post
Books need to be marked as "read" between March 1 and March 31. (It doesn't matter when you started)
Spreadsheet of the current team points is hereNote: Current Points is only as up to date as the captains are at updating their spreadsheets.
Some Captains update daily, others weekly, or somewhere in between!
Some only count points when hands are completed, others count points for all books as soon as read
So just use this as a guide as to where your team is up to :)

IT'S A PERKS ALPHABET READ-A-THON
As a group let's see what we can read in the month and have a Read-A-Thon with a twist!
How this works...
* Each book needs to follow the alphabet from the last one posted
* The Alphabet letter can be based on by genre, author, title, character names, narrator etc.
* As soon as you have a book that you have read in the month that can connect to the last one, post it with the reasons it follows the alphabet and the running tally for you, and for the group for the month, and let's see how many books we can read and connect in the month!

hahaWe tried to get some balance between genres ;)
All captains and co-captains have now been invited to the captains group (for those not friends with this account, you will have a friend request, and then we can invite you).Captains and co-captains by team:
Note: we had a few people sign up as "either" that weren't assigned a role, so don't be concerned if your name isn't here. It just means you are a team member :)
