Atomic Tangerine
ShoSho, if you would be happy to, you could mark a different edition read so it counts for page numbers?
Just read your second post Robin - shall I change it to that then? Book from a series?
Making an executive decision before I fly back upstairs to the lab! 'Read any book from a series'. hope that's ok with everyone :)
Claire wrote: "ShoSho, if you would be happy to, you could mark a different edition read so it counts for page numbers?"So no book with unknown page numbers and switching to the edition with the highest page numbers!
Morning ladies! I finished
last night. Not sure what I'll start today since I have to work and I'll be floating around the school rather than in one single classroom. I don't want to bring my Kindle, that might look bad, but I don't want to be stuck with the class in PE or something and me not having anything to do. Gah! I'm being wishy-washy this morning LOL Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely day/evening/night :)
Susan, see I take my kindle to work so noone knows if I'm reading a journal article or not!
Claire wrote: "Making an executive decision before I fly back upstairs to the lab! 'Read any book from a series'. hope that's ok with everyone :)"Thanks Claire!!! I have today and tomorrow off and I kinda got my books planned out LOL especially with me trying to finish up monthly challenges and starting new monthly challenges with my other groups :( I want to help us earn all the points we can but I just didn't know if I would have enough time to squeeze in another book especially now that I am working again.......hate when real life gets in the way of reading and GR ☺
That's ok Robin, are you feeling any better?ShoSho, now it's add it to the page numbers thread and it will be checked and /or changed
Just to let you all know, I'll be checking the page numbers tomorrow lunchtime ish (for me as the RaT starts at 4 in the afternoon here) and using that as the start point :)

Claire, please go to the Page Numbers, Just Page Numbers thread and post your edition that needs page number added - or where there is a conflict - and I will be glad to add/correct them according to GRs Librarian rules.
If I am unable to do that, I will at least make a ruling on the book, so you have a post for reference.
I am feeling a bit better Claire!!! I am really tired and wore down lol but it will take a little while to get all my energy back. I think working 6 days in a row was a little bit tooo much but I'm hanging in there. I'm still have a few little issues like the headaches,my voice is better (it comes and goes) and I still have a cough/runny nose. I have a couple more weeks until next Dr appt and I'm keeping fingers crossed that by then I will be ALL better LOLOL

Just so I got this right....1.Mini Challenge- 5 green books
2.Theme-Any series books
3.Color-Tangerine
4.Pages Read- My goal of 1500
Is this all I am supposed to do at this time? LOL I am so far behind on everything I am counting on you all to keep me on track!!!
I believe it's Theme - any series book, Colour - orange, Pages read - your goal From what I understand the mini challenges will be issued by the mods as we go through? But you don't have to read the five green books, just find them
I ended upbringing the kindle. Good thing too cause I'm on kindergarten all day lol
ShoSho, will you all be reading the full series together?
Cathie wrote: "ShoSho, will you all be reading the full series together?"Yes we read one each month, are you a member of Rlftci? If you join the group you can join us too, it's so fun reading the books together.
I"m not a member but I'll think about joining :-).I'm not sure I'll get a chance to read the 2nd one by May 6th (I went and checked out the main page).
I could probably do the 3rd one with you all though :-)

You don't have to finish it by 6th to join the buddy read , the buddy read usually stays open for a week or so after the finish date , as long as you finish it by 16th (start of the next one) you can still comment and share your thoughts :)
the mini challenges for the RaT appear to be posted here http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... I'm off to bed now, just been to see Iron Man 3, good film :)
oohhh, Iron Man 3; Robert Downey Jr. is soooo fine looking. I bet you'll have pleasant dreams tonight ;-)
He definitely is :) Want to see the new Star Trek when it comes out, Benedict Cumberbatch and Chris Pine ;-)
Hallo!! Not long now to the RaT. Mini challenge 3 for it is a wordsearch here that can be done as a team or by one person, how do you want to do it?Also... As the RaT starts in about 8 hours, please could you not post any books 2 hours before or 2 hours after the RaT starts so the Mods can get a good idea of the starting page numbers :)
Good morning Claire :-)I do not know how to do a screen shot; I posted this on the RaT mini challenge page. I did the first RaT challenge but can't post my result. I will go and take a look at the wordsearch, but I could really use some help in learning how to post a screen shot.
If you press the print screen (prtsc) button on your keyboard and paste into something like paint you can save the screenshot as an image. You can then either upload it through photobucket or flickr (I think) or pinterest.hope that makes sense :)
I did it!! using html code. I have a new keyboard and I don't know which button is the print screen; nothings labelled just pictures that I don't understand. I swear my brain is decaying!
I hate puzzles, grrrrrr....not a happy morning bunny either...need coffee
Awww thank you; you are so nice! It looks wonderful!:-)See what a little coffee will do for me ;-)

Can anyone do this? I just can't do these word search puzzles, it makes me crazy!
I don't have the technology to be able to do #3. I don't use paint, I don't have a home fax, and my printer is currently out of ink...I'm in bad shape this morning...sorry team.Question: The first post on the mini challenges page says "Just for fun!"; these don't count for points do they??
LK said there is a secret, I'm going to do as many as I can! Just To be safe and they are fun:D
A secret??? There's so many threads with Round II I can't keep up with the messages.
I'll give the word search a go a bit later on if you want, I quite like doing them :) I believe there's no time limit on doing the mini challenges which is good so I'll do 3 and 4 when I get some time at work or when I get home tonight :)

Sorry for disappearing yesterday. I came home from school and didn't feel like reading *gasp* and did a whole bunch of other stuff around the house and stayed off the computer. I'll have to check out the mini-challenges in a bit. Does everyone on the team need to do them? Or as long as a percentage of the team does them we get the points?

Just one person from each team vets cupcake for doing them so I think one person needs to them the rest get desserts:D
It's RaT start time here! My class just went to art, so I'm going to start reading
:)
Here's the end of the month update http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... - looking forward to getting started on the RaT :)
There's another wordsearch as well... do you want me to have a go at that too?
My vote is yes, but then I'm slacking off on the puzzles; just not my thing.
Claire wrote: "There's another wordsearch as well... do you want me to have a go at that too?"Yes please :) but if it is too hard just forget about it !
Can we now post books started and finished today as counting towards the RaT? (can't say I'm thrilled with the acronym!)
I haven't read anything noticeable since Sunday , I listened to Fool Moon , and I've only read a little bit from the book I started on Sunday , I've read it in bed and it's so slow that after reading a few pages I get sleepy and that's it.So I thought I'd start a "feel good" book and I thought of
that has a really nice orange cover , and there is a buddy read for
on the 6th .I know I'll read these 2 books 400+373 pages . and they cover the theme and color for our team. I know I won't make 1500 page , but maybe 1000 or 700.
