[Cait S]

Hi everyone! All new faces here I think. Looking forward to meeting you all and getting to know you.

Quick introduction: I'm Cait, I'm 26 from New York (currently at least). I'm a stay at home mom to 2 boys (7 and 4). My favorite genres are fantasy, horror, thriller/mystery, and YA.

How does everyone feel about being Captain? This will be my fourth round of this game and I've been Captain the other three times. I'm happy to do it again here if no one else wants to, but if anyone else was hoping for the job, feel free!

So excited to get started!

[Rosina]

Hi Cait

Great to meet you! Looking forward to this round. I played in one other round. Had so much fun had to give it a try again.

Intro: I am Rosina. I am married (2nd marriage for both me and my DH) I have no children but my husband has 3 grown children, 40,38,36 and 8 grandchildren. I am 52 and live near Calgary Alberta. I work from home for an accounting agency. I love my job as it allows me to be very flexible with my work schedule.
I read just about anything if it is well written and a good story. Lately I have been reading Historical fiction, mystery, urban fantasy and YA.
I will bow out of being captain as Jan to May is sure busy in my work. I just wont have the time available.

Hoping to knock off some of my series. I have been spending time classifying my books according to first in series, second in series, etc.....I am a bit afraid to see how many series I do have to read.....Have lots of first in series (those darn kindle freebies)....

[maria helena]

Hi team!

I've played in several previous rounds, and been captain, but I'm moving in 3 months so I'd be happy to not be captain this time :-)

I'm maria helena. I currently live in Hawaii where I've been doing a PhD, but am moving back to Sweden soon. I enjoy reading lots of genres, but my favourites are mystery/thrillers and romance. I read a lot of series, so this challenge is perfect for me.

Looking forward to getting to know you all (although I'm a bit worried about all the amazing series you'll introduce me to).

[Joeera]

Hi everyone my namd is Joeera and i live Lavel Quebec Canada.
It is nice to met u all i have been playing this challenge for a while now my team even won once last year. I look forward to starting and getting to know all of you.

Here are someteam names i came up with


We Are Cooler Than The Rest
Roancing Your Noggin
Dreaming With Your Eyes Open
Last Page At Midnight
7 Is The Way To Go

[Cait S]

Hi everyone! Wonderful reading your introductions, I'm so happy we're all on a team together :D

I like The Last Page At Midnight. I'm horrible at coming up with names so any that you all like is good with me.

[Stacey]

Hi everyone! I'm Stacey and this is my first series challenge so I'm excited to get to know everyone--and I probably shouldn't be trusted as Captain. :)

I live in Raleigh, North Carolina, I'm 46 and have an almost 1 year old Mastiff who keeps me very busy as I'm pretty sure he's smarter than me. I will read almost anything that has a good story, but tend to lean towards PNR, fantasy, YA and romance. I feel like all I read are series books and have gone through my lists to get some ideas for each number so I'm ready to go!

[Rosina]

hi everyone. I like Last Page at Midnight as well.

[maria helena]

I like Last Page at Midnight

[Cait S]

Hi Stacey! Welcome to the challenge :D You will love it. It's very fun and super addicting. Let us know if you have any questions.

Also I am jealous. Mastiffs are my dream dog, I would absolutely love to have one. We have a Golden Retriever and a Swiss Shepherd right now but I keep telling my husband...next time...next time a Mastiff.

Looks like so far everyone agrees on Last Page at Midnight so that's awesome! We are still waiting to hear from just Sha and Shan I think.

Hi Cait!

My first 2 dogs were Goldens--and they were wonderful. But they both had so many health problems, I couldn't bear to do another one, and my friend had 2 mastiffs that I fell in love with. Sebastian is amazing, but he's been much more challenging than both of the goldens combined! I would highly recommend one if you can talk your husband into it. :)

[Cait S]

So it didn't seem like anyone else was interested in being Captain, so is it okay if I am? Any objections?

I'm going to PM Sha and Shan really quick and see if they are around so we can update Ezi on the team.

[Rosina]

Morning everybody....

Cait thanks so much for taking on Captain duties.....

so the first roll is in the early hours of Friday morning....is anyone up at the time of the roll.... which is 12am Dallas Time - Central Time....


So excited to get started....

[Joeera]

Can't waite to get started

[Cait S]

Good morning guys!

I contacted both Sha and Shan. So far I've heard back from Shan, who said she will be checking in later today, so that's awesome.

I will wait until tonight and if no one objects, I'll let Ezi know that I'll be captain and that we'll be called Last Page at Midnight.

I'm always awake and around to do the roll so that's taken care of, no problem. I'm usually too excited to find out what the next spot will be to sleep anyway lol

I was thinking Cait...do you want to share the captain duties? I am not even sure what captain duties entails.....Guess I should have found that out before I said no to wanting to be a captain....

I always get so excited for countdowns....sometimes I am awake cause I cant sleep...but not always....

[Cait S]

There's really not enough that needs doing for it to take 2 people, it's a really straightforward challenge. But if you'd like to be Captain instead, I don't mind :) Just let me know!

I will pass on it....I just looked at my work calendar and time out of the office and I won't want to commit to it and then have to let you all down cause I cant get computer access.....

[Cait S]

No problem, I understand. Maybe you can just watch this time as far as captain goes and then next round have a good idea of what it entails so you'll know if you want to take it on or not :)

[Elle]

Hi Team- sorry for the delay! I love this game and I am ready to go!

Hi Sha....welcome....

[Cait S]

Hi Sha! Great to see you, thank you for checking in :D I think that's all of us now so we are ready to go!

[maria helena]

Welcome Sha!

[Joeera]

Welcome Sha

[Shan ~A~]

Hello team.
First of all I'm sorry for the delay. Life sometimes sucks, but I'm glad I'm still breathing.

Second of all I am a newbie, and last I am super excited to be here playing this game with you all.

Oh yeah, I love the name by the way.

[Joeera]

Welcome Shan!

[maria helena]

Welcome Shan!

[Stacey]

Hi Shan and Sha! Welcome. :)

[Rosina]

Hi Shan...welcome.....

[Cait S]

Hey Shan! Welcome. I love seeing new people playing this game for the first time. It's so fun.

So our first roll will be tomorrow at midnight central (so Friday morning "technically"). I'll do the roll and post right away so you can all know what to look for as soon as possible.

If anyone has any questions or needs help finding a book, etc etc just post here! I'm sure we've all got recommendations ;)

[Shan ~A~]

Thanks for the warm welcomes.
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready (in my Spongebob voice)

[Stacey]

Okay, I finished my last current read this morning so I am ready to go! I'll probably be checking in the middle of the night to figure out which book to read. :)

I'm so impatient!

This is one of the challenges where my time zone is an advantage. The roll is at 8 pm my time so I'll definitely be awake and can start my book right away :-)
