I love that...two bit hustlers. Very creative. But ummm, about watching taillights. I'm amused.

[Tia]

I can join if you need someone still

[Jenne]

Sure is Tia you'll be on team 2!

[Tia]

Okay thanks!

[Jenne]

Around an hour and half to go! Captains don't forget to post your spot and also that you have to change the die to 1 before rolling :)

[Jenne]

And the game begins :)
If anyone has any questions I'll be around for a little bit before I crash. I'll check in first thing in the am too. Good luck and happy reading!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Question. If you role a two, could. I read a book with two in the title, not two in the series?
Two Wrongs, One Right by katee Roberts

[JoAnne]

don't think so but Jenel will weigh in shortly

[Jenne]

No Ezi it'd have to be a second in the series, sorry.

[Carrie]

would be fine for number 3 right? It's a first book in one series but it's also number 3 in another.

[Jenne]

You're good it's listed as a 3 here on GR

[Carrie]

Thank you kindly.

[JoAnne]

on the alternate page do you want to state what timeframe it's for as you pick them so we don't get confused?

also, would it be helpful in our post if we also listed number of pages (as per goodreads)? since books have to be 150+ pages?

[Jenne]

Yeah JoAnne I'm gonna add the dates on the alternate. You don't have to list your page numbers unless you want to :)

[JoAnne]

thx!

[Lesley]

I know I'm on the late side of things here, but if you need someone else to fill up a team or as a backup, I'd be happy to join in.

[Sheila]

Jenne, I'm still not really clear what the captains do to post that the team has reviewed all their books. Are you just checking the different team threads or are we supposed to post something saying we are done.

[Jenne]

Your post #25 in your team's thread is perfect. Now when you roll Thursday and go to post the new spot just include a link to your post 25 and you're all set :)

[Paris]

So Jenne would our post then look something like this...or are you looking for more information than that?

Roll 2: 5
New Spot: 6

Reviews from Roll 1

[Amy]

How do I post a like that you just did for your reviews?!

[Paris]

To post things you would first get the direct link to your post and to that you click on the time it was posted and then that'll change the address in your address bar. Copy that address and then to write out the html to make the link you would type < a href=" and then paste the direct address to your post and close the html with another "> (Make sure there are no spaces between the < and the letter a, I had to put it there so that it'll show). Then you would type whatever you want your link to say after the > and then close the link by putting < /a> (again delete that space between the < and the /).

So it should look something like this (again without the spaces)
< a href="direct address here">Link to Reviews< /a>

[Amy]

Thank you!

[Jenne]

Looks good Paris! Love the new avatar BTW.

My question Jenne is where do we put this info. Do we edit our original post in the posting thread or add a new post with that info? OK so we don't post anything like "our team finished our books", we just roll again and put the info Paris showed and you can check the link to make sure, right? I think I've got it. Thanks

[Jenne]

Yeah put it with your new roll at the post your spot thread. I was gonna make a separate thread for it but didn't want to add to the cap'ns workload.

[Paris]

Thanks Jenne. I saw some people, like you, were going Halloween and I thought it sounded fun. I love your new avatar too!

Here's a question. If we get our reviews all done before Thursday, do you still want us to wait to post them until we can roll. Or could we post the link and then edit the post with our roll once we can roll again?

[Jenne]

If you want to post it early that's fine with me.

[Paris]

Cool. Thanks Jenne.

[Lindy]

@ Lindy - you have posted your review in the wrong thread. You need to post it in the group thread for First In Line

[Jenne]

Here's a time zone converter for anyone who needs/wants it. I'm also going to put it in post 1 here on this thread. I'm US Central time zone.

Time Zone Converter

[Lindy]

I have the link now

[Paris]

For those of you still up, but may not have noticed, the alternate has been posted.

[[deleted user]]

Just wondering when the cut of is for reviews to be in today?

[Jenne]

All day today Kat.

[Sheila]

Every time the dice is rolled do we each have the choice to do the series OR do the alternate or do we have to commit to one or the other for the whole game?

[Jenne]

The choice is yours each time muhahahaha :)

[Mandy]

Quick question about the alternate. Can it be a series or does it need to be a standalone. Example Divergent is the series while The Night Circus is a standalone.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Of course, I'm not Jenne, but I would think if it is on the alternate thread SHELF "Love the Cover", then I think it would be acceptable.

[Jenne]

Ezi is right! If it's on the shelf you're good!

[Lindy]

What does this mean Roll 2: 5 New Spot: 6? What do i hve to read now?

[Jenne]

Lindy it doesn't look like your team has rolled yet. We won't know until then.

[JoAnne]

Lindy wrote: "What does this mean Roll 2: 5 New Spot: 6? What do i hve to read now?"

If this was your team you would have to read the 6th book in a series OR an alternate book in this case from the "Love the Cover" shelf.

[Jenne]

Here's the new places for the second roll:

Team 1: 8
Team 2: 10
