Team Thor Showing 151-200 of 1,055

Tea, it sounds like you found my shelf. My phone app is being stupid right now but I can post the link a little later tonight if you need me to.

Also, Caitlyn hasn't checked in yet. I sent her a friend request and PM'd her the day she was added to our team. I haven't her from her and she hasn't responded to the friend request.

Yeah, found it :)

Have them all know (beside Caitlyn)

[Dragana]

Tea the resident stalker. :)
The name of my shelf is the same as the one I put in the spreadsheet. I created it then. :) And I saw you already found it.

10 hours until the start. Yay! :)

Captains, please PM us your emails so we can give you edit permissions for spreadsheet.

Thanks

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Attention Captains.

Please check the Spreadsheet FAQ's.

[Imke]

Team Thor's currently open goals:

1. Read a book with a cover showing someone wearing jeans or overalls.
2. Read a book with the main genre (listed on the first page on GR) as Chick Lit.
3. Read a book that starts with the letter Q
4. Read a book where the page numbers add to 17 (i.e. 345 pages = 3+4+5 = 12)
5. Read a bookwhere the ISBN10 number has exactly 4 odd numbers. Judith

[Judith]

I have a book for goal 5 that I can start reading today.

[Imke]

Nice Judith. I'll put your name behind that goal.

I saw that Caitlyn's name was missing from the spreadsheet, does that mean she's no longer a part of this team?

She's marked as missing right now. She hasn't checked in, responded to my PMs or friend request. And she didn't have a TT shelf when I stalked her profile.

If she shows up, we'll add her to the sheet. She doesn't have a lot of books on GR so I'm not sure how active she is. Although she was on GR a few days ago. We'll see what happens, hopefully she'll join us.

[Imke]

Thanks Judith,

Found this note in the captains group and thought it should be mentioned here as well as a reminder.

Special note regarding the Pretty Girls BOM
Page counts for this book vary widely (and the GR default is the Large Print edition!). We have posted for TT players to use a version of 544 pages for their shelf, or let their captain know to use the page override in the team spreadsheet to count the book as 544 pages

[sonya]

I want to read this book

[Judith]

I put some information on goals, how they work, and some things people might have questions on in one of my reserved posts.

Goals are new to Tower Teams and I know several people are new to either Tower Teams or reading challenges in general. Thought this might be a useful reference for people.

As questions on goals come in, I may add more information to that post so it'll be an easy reference for the team.

[Shy The WidowMaker]

I have a few books I'm starting today for some other challenges will be back if any of them work for these goals.

4. True evil--Greg iles

[Dragana]

I was in Gladiators games so goals are not unfamiliar to me. I enjoyed doing them. I'll look what do I have that can fit in. :)

ETA: I'll read The Rest of Us Just Live Here. It has character wearing jeans on the cover (for goal#1).

[Dragana]

GOAL UPDATE:

1. Read a book with a cover showing someone wearing jeans or overalls. [Dragana]
2. Read a book with the main genre (listed on the first page on GR) as Chick Lit.
3. Read a book that starts with the letter Q
4. Read a book where the page numbers add to 17 (i.e. 345 pages = 3+4+5 = 12) [Sonya?]
5. Read a book where the ISBN10 number has exactly 4 odd numbers. [Judith]

No pressure - you can change you mind any time and we will remove your name by the goal (it's not a strict reservation, only a reminder).
Two team members can read books for the same goal.
Also, if you do not like reading for goals, you can read whatever you like.
Just have fun. ;)

[❀Tea❀]

You can start reading now! :D

I noticed that Graphic Novels can't count but what if they are a book that matches a goal?

[Judith]

Nope, sorry graphic novels can't be used for anything the the challenge.

And welcome Caitlyn! Sorry to hear goodreads has been giving you problems. You aren't too late to join, we'll get you added to the team spreadsheet.

What's the name of the bookshelf you are using for the challenge so we can get that linked?

[Caitlyn]

Thank you! My shelf is not showing up ( I told you goodreads is not working in my favor!). It should be Tower-Team-IV-Thor. I'll let you know when it shows up! Ok that's fine thank you for telling me that!

[[deleted user]]

Damn its too bad I already started Queen of Shadows that would've worked for challenge 3

[[deleted user]]

Would Fangirl count as chick lit?

[[deleted user]]

Wait nvm I answered my own question. It does count and I was hoping to read it soon so I could do that challenge

[Caitlyn]

Me too! Sign me up!

Great, I have you down for the chick-lit goal

[Caitlyn]

Can you sign me up for challenge 4?

[Judith]

Caitlyn wrote: "Can you sign me up for challenge 4?"

Sure, can you give me the book title so I can add it to the spreadsheet?

[Judith]

Okay everyone,

When you finish a book can you post in the Thor Books read thread?

In addition to the book can you put in some information about it similar to some of the categories listed on the "Goal-less books" tab?

This includes things like cover color. I'll probably be putting together a reference post in one of the reserved spots on the first page of the thread within the next day or so on this so it'll be easier for people to find.

[Judith]

For BOM - Child Thief:

I know Imke is writing DQs and participating. But are other Thor members participating in the discussion? I don't want to miss BOM points.

[Caitlyn]

I am!

[Imke]

Hi Judith
I believe Tori is also participating in the child Thief BOM. I've seen a few comments to dq's by her.

[Imke]

I can work on goal 3 book that starts with Q. I will post title and cover later.

[Caitlyn]

What are dqs

[Judith]

DQs are discussion questions

[sonya]

All my books currently add up to more than 12

[Imke]

The book I have that fits Q is Queen of Someday by Sherry D. Ficklin

I haven't started it yet, but I will once I finish one of the other books I'm currently reading.

I have posted my questions for the child thief and I will post a link when I post the book as finished.

[Alex]

I'm going to try to marathon my current book today so I can get started on something that'll count. Yay for this challenge starting!

[Imke]

I've finished and posted in the books read thread with links and page numbers.

[Dragana]

Great job Imke. :) How was it?

[Imke]

I really liked it 4 stars. I didn't think I would like it though, mainly because of the cover (it's just not my style) I thought the description was good so I joined the discussion.

I just looked at the cover and thought it was not my thing too. But now when I actually read the description I am intrigued. :)

[Imke]

It is a really good, but a little gruesome, story. But if your like a little horror mixed in with you fantasy it is great.

I will have to wait for that particular mood. But since I found out it's a retelling of peter Pan I am definitely interested to read it.

Everyone, I'm going to put the current 5 goals in one of my reserved posts for easy reference.

We'll also post new goals in the thread so people will get a notification.

Caitlyn, we are still working on trying to get you added to the spreadsheet. I tried and almost broke the spreadsheet, I need some moderator help. Just didn't want you to think I forgot!

[Alex]

I thought looks really good but it's not available at my library :-( if everyone's giving it good reviews I might put it on my Christmas list though
