[Christal]

Hi guys! I'm excited to start this one too. :)

[Jenne]

Hello teamies! This should be fun :)

[★Meghan★]

Yeah!! Hi teamies! I am super excited for this. I will not be the captain this time. Work is a little crazy right now. I am just at the point where I think I can finish a book a week.

[Jenne]

I am not consistent with getting online on Sundays. The family usually wants/needs my full attention that day lol. I probably wouldn't make for a good cap either. I'm more than happy to help the cap though if needed.

Any name ideas?
Here's a couple that I thought of

Ones to Win
5 for 1
ONEderful Fantasy

[Daffodil]

Hi everyone.

I don't have internet access at home. I usually get on at work or when I'm at my friend's house on weekends. Since possible snowfall means I'm never quite sure if I'm going to be able to get over there, I can't guarantee I'll have Sunday (or late Saturday here in the US) access either.

I'm not feeling name creative at the moment, fighting a major headache, but maybe something will come to me later.

Can't wait to start. I started sorting my tbr into cover color shelves and I don't have a whole lot of purple. In fact, I started to pick up Monday and put it back down because I wanted to save it just in case. LOL.

[Christal]

I could do the captain thing, but I usually sleep in on Sundays (my only day!) so the color wouldn't get posted right away. It would be up by midday Texas time though.

I'll try to think of some names today; I'm drawing a blank right now. I do like Ones to Win and Onederful Fantasy though!

[Daffodil]

I'm okay with that Christal. Although, during the Bingo game, Sunday Steph's time usually worked out to 8-ish Saturday evening Illinois time. I think Texas is in the Central zone also and it would work out the same for you. ... Of course, I'm assuming everyone will be using Steph's definition of Sunday.

[Jenne]

That's a good question is it Sunday Japan time or US?

[Christal]

I was looking through all the threads and it doesn't look like Steph has defined "Sunday" yet, but there is a place in one of the threads for it.

Just looking at some fantasy books for inspiration:
Ready Player One
One Foot in the Grave


Fantastical Oneders
One to Grow On
One Way or Another
One for All
All for One
Another One Bites the Dust
In One Ear
One Fine Day
One Step Closer
One More Chance
First to Finish
First to Score
Once More With Feeling
One for the Books
The Plus Ones

There's a movie called "Ichi the Killer" and ichi means one in japanese so we could do Ichi the Book Killers. I know, I'm reaching with that one lol.

[★Meghan★]

I really like Another One Bites the Dust.

When we were doing Bingo Steph would usually post the next shelf at around 4p Mountain Time so Central Time would be Saturday 5p.

I will try to think of a couple of names...thinking brain not on very well right now. Trying to finish at least 3 books this week.

[Jenne]

I like another one bites the dust too, I'm gonna ask Steph in the question thread about the time zones.

[Belinda]

I like another one bites the dust too.

I can be captain - I'm in Australia which is roughly the se time one as Japan. I can be online early each Sunday unless I score an early on a Sunday but the roster looks good til mid-march so far :)

[★Meghan★]

I am okay with either Belinda or Christal being captain.

[Christal]

You can take it Belinda. :)

[Belinda]

No worries christal :P if everyone else is happy?

[★Meghan★]

Haha! Just for giggles I "pulled" a card to see what I would get and I got a King...which was a book which would basically put us at the top of the board on day one...

:)

[Belinda]

Wait! Scrap that!! I vote Meghan if she's getting cards like that!!! Lol

[★Meghan★]

Won't work...Can't do it with work as crazy as it is right now.

All right so I just picked a couple of books that I can pick up for Sunday. Let me know if you guys agree with the colors.

Blue:
Red:
Green:
Yellow:
Purple: (or is this too blue? Backup: )
Orange:
Wild Cards:

[Christal]

I think Unearthly would qualify for purple Meghan. The Goth book would probably work for blue too.

[★Meghan★]

Christal wrote: "I think Unearthly would qualify for purple Meghan. The Goth book would probably work for blue too."

I have lots of blue books so I am not worried about that. I am mostly focusing on trying to finish books that will fit into other challenges as well.

All right time to work on a book for another team challenge. Which shouldn't interfere too much as it will be done a couple weeks into this one. So only a couple weeks of craziness.

Looks like we just need a vote from Daffodil for Another One Bites the Dust.

[Belinda]

As soon as we hear back from daffodil I'll let steph know our name and unless anyone has objections I'll also let the mods know I'm captain & set up a spreadsheet to organise each round. Here's hoping for a good draw Sunday!

Any suggestions for green covers? Running a little low on those..

[Christal]

If you read the Charley Davidson series, this would be perfect for green.


A few other possibilities I caught going through my books:

[Jenne]

Orange is a tough one too. And so many covers aren't just one color. Steph did say it was ok to use other versions to so it would be wise to check and see if something has a different cover.

[Daffodil]

Another One Bites the Dust is good for me!

[★Meghan★]

Anyone can look at some of the covers I have in my shelves. I am setting up some shelves with covers for different colors. They are all under SOS then the color so it shouldn't be hard to find.

They are not all fantasy books, but I figured if I couldn't find anything fantasy at least I would have some backups. It doesn't look like I will really need that though :)

[Belinda]

Thanks Meghan. Christal - I'll post what I have In orange for you shortly.

[Belinda]

Ack! Meghan - your lists are amazing!!

[Jenne]

Is there a rule against team mates reading the same book on a given week?
BTW Belinda draw us a good one :)

[Belinda]

No jenne. It's completely your choice what you read depending on what books you have avail on your shelves. So long as it fits with the colour and is over 200 pages - all food:)

Here's hoping for a good card draw this morning *fingers crossed*

[★Meghan★]

I hope you found some books on there to help you though. I know my TBR list can be a little intense.

[Belinda]

Ok ladies! Week one's card is:



*drumroll*




*fanfair, trumpets*




5 of diamonds!

This means we're reading purple . on space no 5. Will update officially after some sleep.....

[Jenne]

Woohoo

[Steph, Serious series addict]

★MARK THIS TIME★
The time is now 6:30a, Sunday JST. ;)

Team captains, you may now draw a card and get your team on the board. This week, each team will move on the board. From this week forward, however, in order for your team to move forward, all members must have read, rated and reviewed their book by this time (give or take) next week.

[Jenne]

Do y'all think this is purple enough

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Definitely! :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Don't forget to share your card and board placement on this thread. Thanks :)

[Jenne]

Thanks Steph!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

You're welcome :)

[Belinda]

That looks purple enough to me Jenne.

Don't forget to check in and let me know what you've chosen this week.

I'll be reading hunting ground by Patricia Briggs

[Daffodil]

Do you think the sea and sky have enough purple to qualify this book?

[Belinda]

I think so. I have a few similar ones that are not a full cover in a certain colour

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yes, Daffodil :)

[Daffodil]

Thanks for the speedy answers! I will be reading Steel's Edge for the purple space.

[★Meghan★]

I will be reading

[Christal]

I think I'll re-read . It's been years since I've read it.

[Christal]

I just finished the Penton Legacy series and it was a really great, lesser-known paranormal romance. The covers are perfect for this challenge though... red, blue, and green!

[Jenne]

I'm 20% in to my book and am pleasantly surprised with it :)
