Last time for FantasyLand, we used a Online Team Name Generator and arrived at Curious Raccoons. It was so random that we all loved it. I'm so bad at naming that I always let someone else do it.
Haha I love it, Vi! I did it a few times, and my two favorited are probably The Screeching Hyenas or (even better!) The Typical Ferrets. :P
Thanks for the link, Vi!I like The Typical Ferrets (it's so freaking random!). From the website I also like The Dynamic Coyotes & The Dangerous Llamas.
I also got The Psychedelic Oysters, which in my opinion is now tied with The Typical Ferrets for most insanely random name LOL.
Oh but I do like Dynamic Coyotes too! It makes us sound cunning :P
I like Psychedelic Oysters or Dynamic Coyotes too. That website makes me giggle whenever I try to generate team names :P
I love the name generator. :D When I saw those names (up thread), my first thought was Kate Daniels: The Pack's got an intra-pack baseball league now and Raphael chose The Screeching Hyenas as a team name.
Checking in. Love the random name idea. WOW, can't wait to get stared playing will pop back in later. See you all around.
e-LEMON-ators, The Evil POP-Tarts, or Junkyard Bulldogs. I also love psychedelic oysters too.
Don't forget you need a captain!!!
1 2 3 not it!!!! please be someone else on this team that can handle it
will be working till late afternoon. will chat with everyone then.
Haha I'd also prefer not to be captain, since this is actually the first challenge I've signed up for in this group...
Christina, you should check out the clan names they have. It's hilarious! :) And it's a long long time till the next KD comes out. :(Christina (AKA Babbling) wrote: "I love the name generator. :D When I saw those names (up thread), my first thought was Kate Daniels: The Pack's got an intra-pack baseball league now and Raphael chose The Screeching Hyenas as a ..."
Just wanted to pop in and say sorry for being MIA. I'm sick. I've got a bad sinus infection and bronchitis. I like the Oysters but am good with what you all decide. Also, I would rather not be captain unless no one else wants the job.
Hope you feel better soon, Jennifer! Sinus infections definitely aren't any fun.
Sorry to hear you're sick, Jennifer. Hope you feel better soon.*sigh* I wasn't planning on being the captain this round, as I've just started a new FT job that's making me homicidal more times than not. But since no one else wants to be, and given that I've been captain for 3 out of 6 of the BSB games (and R1 of CC4), why not? Just do me a favor, ladies, & let me know when & if I make mistakes because 9 times out of 10, I'll be extremely tired when I update the lists & do the stamps.
ETA: Looks like we got 4 for Oysters, so all in favor?
I'm good with Oysters and you as captain, LL! :)
LL, hooray! Good luck with the new job, happy reading to the Oysters!
I'm good with you as being captain, LL! Love the name :)
Hope the job is going well LL ;)

Oh, pshaw.! ;) The end of July is NOT that far off. :D We've got Bingo to occupy us now, so the time will just fly by!
I still have book 5 of the KD series to read, but I'm trying to stretch the series out until book 6 haha.
Woohoo! We have a shelf! :D The first shelf is assassins.
Thanks a lot, Sam! I forgot that Steph's on Japan time & Japan time makes it Sat evening here instead of Sunday. And here's the link: AssassinsEverybody understand the FS rules? (If not, here you go http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/5...) You can Triple R (Read, Rate & Review) it at any point during the challenge, but since it's in the center & plays a part in 4 variations of bingo, it's good to get it out of the way soon-ish. I'll be back in a bit with my "assassins" & "fs" picks. Happy reading, ladies and let the games begin!
I'm leaning towards reading The Final Empire for assassins, and I'll have to look at my options for free space :)
I've picked Fire by Kristin Cashore the Assassins shelf and Vamps and the City by Kerrelyn Sparks for the FS
Great choices, ladies! It's been awhile since I read "Fire" but I remember thinking it was an intriguing sequel to "Graceling."I haven't quite decided what I'm going to read for the FS but I'm leaning towards
for assassins. It's been on my shelf since 2011, so this is the perfect opportunity to read it.BTW, I'm turning post 11 into the "Master List" post. That will be where you can see what your teammates are reading/have read, their reviews & how many Triple R's we need to get a stamp for a particular shelf. For an idea of how it's gonna look once we fill-in-the-blanks, -----------> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/7...
Am I anal about how I like my lists to look? Not at all. ^_^
My dad's been hassling me about the Mistborn series for a while, so I figure it's probably about time I start it! :P I'll probably end up reading either Magic Slays or Dreamfever for the free space, depending on which one I get to first/which one fits with my other challenges.
I think my head would explode if I had to choose between Magic Strikes and Dreamfever as they're both really really really really good novels. That's like someone asking if you'd rather have orgasmic sex or Godiva chocolate.
Sam, the Mistborn series is AWESOME. Sanderson became one of my favorite & Auto-Buy authors after that series. You definitely have to read it. I had
slotted for the first shelf and it fits perfectly.For the FS, I'll read
. Two and a half more days to go.
LOL, LL! I think I might agree with you on that though :P
LOL love the analogy! Though I'll have to fix my post since I actually meant Magic Slays...I constantly mess up the order of the Kate Daniels books.
Likewise, Sam. The only thing I'm absolutely positively sure about the KD series is that there's a guy in it that's a lion shifter who constantly takes his shirt off. A lot. To my infinite joy and pleasure.
ROFL Curran is definitely swoonworthy!!!!!!
LOL I do definitely love me some Curran! Though he's still only a close second to Barrons in my books...haha.
