message 12: by Vi (new)

Vi | 943 comments 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.


message 13: by Midu (new)

Midu Hadi | 1732 comments Vi!!! stealing the link!


message 14: by Sam (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) 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


message 15: by Desperado (last edited May 30, 2013 09:59AM) (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 1360 comments 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.


message 16: by Sam (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) I also got The Psychedelic Oysters, which in my opinion is now tied with The Typical Ferrets for most insanely random name LOL.


message 17: by Sam (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) Oh but I do like Dynamic Coyotes too! It makes us sound cunning :P


message 18: by Vi (new)

Vi | 943 comments I like Psychedelic Oysters or Dynamic Coyotes too. That website makes me giggle whenever I try to generate team names :P


Christina (AKA Babbling) (babblingbookreviews) | 1242 comments 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.


message 20: by Amber (new)

Amber (crazyaboutbooks) | 499 comments Checking in. Love the random name idea. WOW, can't wait to get stared playing will pop back in later. See you all around.


message 21: by Amber (last edited May 30, 2013 09:17PM) (new)

Amber (crazyaboutbooks) | 499 comments e-LEMON-ators, The Evil POP-Tarts, or Junkyard Bulldogs. I also love psychedelic oysters too.


message 22: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25912 comments Don't forget you need a captain!!!


message 23: by Amber (new)

Amber (crazyaboutbooks) | 499 comments 1 2 3 not it!!!! please be someone else on this team that can handle it


message 24: by Amber (new)

Amber (crazyaboutbooks) | 499 comments will be working till late afternoon. will chat with everyone then.


message 25: by Sam (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) Haha I'd also prefer not to be captain, since this is actually the first challenge I've signed up for in this group...


message 26: by Vi (new)

Vi | 943 comments 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. :(

message 27: by Jennifer H (new)

Jennifer H 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.


message 28: by Sam (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) Hope you feel better soon, Jennifer! Sinus infections definitely aren't any fun.


message 29: by Desperado (last edited May 31, 2013 01:21PM) (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 1360 comments 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?


message 30: by Sam (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) I'm good with Oysters and you as captain, LL! :)


message 31: by Daffodil (new)

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments Love the name!


message 32: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments LL, hooray! Good luck with the new job, happy reading to the Oysters!


message 33: by Vi (new)

Vi | 943 comments I'm good with you as being captain, LL! Love the name :)


message 34: by Desperado (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 1360 comments Thanks all!


message 35: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25912 comments 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!


message 37: by Sam (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) I still have book 5 of the KD series to read, but I'm trying to stretch the series out until book 6 haha.


message 38: by Sam (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) Woohoo! We have a shelf! :D The first shelf is assassins.


message 39: by Desperado (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 1360 comments 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: Assassins

Everybody 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!


message 40: by Sam (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) I'm leaning towards reading The Final Empire for assassins, and I'll have to look at my options for free space :)


message 41: by Jennifer H (new)

Jennifer H I've picked Fire by Kristin Cashore the Assassins shelf and Vamps and the City by Kerrelyn Sparks for the FS


message 42: by Desperado (last edited Jun 01, 2013 05:20PM) (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 1360 comments 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 Touch of Power (Healer, #1) by Maria V. Snyder 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. ^_^


message 43: by Sam (last edited Jun 02, 2013 04:38AM) (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) 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.


message 44: by Desperado (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 1360 comments 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.


message 45: by Vi (new)

Vi | 943 comments 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 Venom (Elemental Assassin, #3) by Jennifer Estep slotted for the first shelf and it fits perfectly.

For the FS, I'll read Heart of Obsidian (Psy-Changeling, #12) by Nalini Singh . Two and a half more days to go.


message 46: by Vi (new)

Vi | 943 comments LOL, LL! I think I might agree with you on that though :P


message 47: by Sam (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) 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.


message 48: by Desperado (last edited Jun 01, 2013 07:11PM) (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 1360 comments 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.


message 49: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25912 comments ROFL

Curran is definitely swoonworthy!!!!!!


message 50: by Sam (new)

Sam (theliteraryhooker) LOL I do definitely love me some Curran! Though he's still only a close second to Barrons in my books...haha.
