I'm so excited for this! ;)

[Gisbelle]

Hi there Team Four! I hope you are excited to start. Please, choose your team leader.

[harshini]

Yay!! Love our banner Gisbelle! :) Team leader..? No idea!

[Gisbelle]

Thanks Harshini :)

[Katrin]

I wouldn't mind being the team leader but if anyone else wants to, it's fine with me. ;)

[harshini]

I don't mind anyone being th leader :) We will check and see with the others

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

K , if you want you can ahah! :)

[Katrin]

Okay, awesome. But we still need to know what Jordan thinks. ;)

[harshini]

Great we just need Jordan to check here :)

[Gisbelle]

Dear All

Please make sure you check Now Showing... to get the general ideas how the challenge is going to be like.

Don't forget to choose your team leader. I hope each team will have a team leader by Wednesday.

You may need to PM your teammates who haven't posted in the team yet.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

We haven't heard from Jordan ... hopefully she'll come back so we won't have to have a replacement for her!

[Katrin]

I hope so, too. I sent her a reminder, yesterday. Maybe she just forgot about the challenge.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Yeah, hopefully!

[harshini]

Hopefully :)

[Jordan]

Sorry guys! been really busy and haven't had time to get on my computer! I don't mind who's the team leader :)

[harshini]

Great then I suppose K wouldn't mind being the leader :)

[Katrin]

Yay!! ;)

[Jordan]

Arghhh, I can't find a book to suit the requirements, the highest I can get is like 3, without looking for any hidden words. :( Anyone else having better luck?!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I found one that will maybe get me 8 points... Gisbelle, can you confirm this?



I think it's adventure.. 1 point.

Does they boy on the cover count? .. 2 points.

Peter is the author's name.. 5 points..

That would be 8 points and if I found any of the words it would be more!

Gisbelle, can this count as 8?!

[Gisbelle]

Yes, it looks like that to me too :) But if you find another worth more points, you can always change your book.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Alright thanks Gisbelle! I'll keep looking though!

And Team members, let's try to have all of our books done within 6 days so we can get extra points ! :D

[Gisbelle]

lol.. That's the spirit!

[Jordan]

ill be able to read mine quickly but its the points that I can't get high enough for this one:(

[Gisbelle]

When I do this challenge, I normally start by searching for the books that match the setting because that score the highest points.

[Jordan]

Thanks for the idea, Gisbelle! I'll try that now :)

[Gisbelle]

Welcome Jordan!

[Jordan]

If I was to read , I would get five points for the name, and it says that it's set in America, but not north or south, does anyone know so I can see if I get extra points?:)

[Gisbelle]

I don't think it set in South America, but I might be wrong :)

[Jordan]

Blehh, okay thank you!

[Katrin]

I'm going to look for a book as soon as I get back from work.

[Jordan]

I'll probably be reading which was published in 2009 which is 6 points.
It's an adventure book so that's another point.
Then I can look for hidden words

so that's 7 points so far right?

[Gisbelle]

yep :)

[Jordan]

Okay, that will be my book for the week then :)

[Gisbelle]

good luck!

[Katrin]

I think I am going to readI Am Not A Serial Killer.

It was published 2009 and has a John as a main character.

I'm not sure, though. Maybe , I'll find another book by Monday.

[harshini]

I think I might read Peter Pan! Cause it has Peter, adventure and the cover has Peter on it, and I think he is sort of a little boy. I mean he s never supposed to grow up haha! And I will look for the hidden words

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Gisbelle, I was looking at Along For the Ride by Sarah Dessen and was wondering if that could be considered adventure or comedy? Also since she's going to the beach all summer could that count as a road trip? It was also published in 2009 so that would be 6 points ... Thanks:D

[Gisbelle]

J, I think it's acceptable.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

woohoo! Thanks Gisbelle! :D

Okay, so I'll be reading !

Genre: 1 point
Plot: 3 points
Setting: 6 points

Total: 10 points plus any bonus words I find!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Has everyone found a book they will be reading?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

You know how I said we should all try and finish our books before day 6? Well here's the extra point schedule:


Extra points will be awarded to the team if everyone in the team finishes their book within:

Day 1 or 2 = 3pt
Day 3 or 4 = 2pt
Day 5 or 6 = 1pt
Day 7 = no extra point

It would be nice if everyone finishes their book by day 4! Do you think we can shoot for day 4?

[Katrin]

I don't think it will be a problem to read it in 6 days. My problem is to get it from the library in time. Especially since it's easter monday tomorrow and my library is cosed that day. ;(

[harshini]

I think I can try to finish in Day 1 or 2 if that would help :)

[harshini]

So if I choose
Genre is Adventure, the cover has a little boy on it, and the main character has the name Peter! Plus I can read it by tomorrow.
So overall: 8 + 3 = 11 points!!
YAY! And I just have to find the hidden words! ANyone can correct me if I am wrong

[Jordan]

I should be able to read mine in about 2-3 days so that's not a problem for me :)

Oh no!! Hopefully you'll get it in time!!

Yeah, I could finish it in about 2-3 days as well.

[harshini]

I hope so too! :)
