Hello team!!

[Delitealex]

Hey team

[Cara]

Hi all! (I do not want to be team leader)

[Mandiann]

I can do it if needed

[Delitealex]

Sounds good to me

[Mandiann]

can you guys pm me your movie choices? i will pm the other two members when i get home tonight to see if they are still playing.

[Cara]

Thanks for being the leader :)

[E. C.]

Hi all! :)

[Mandiann]

Hi E.C. please pm me your movie choice asap as i need to submit them tonight.

[E. C.]

Sent! Sorry about taking so long. I kept looking for my name in teams but never seemed to show up!

[Mandiann]

no worries, thank you. i will submit them when i get home later tonight, just out volunteering at a cnib event, dining in the dark.

[Mandiann]

Can someone pm charles with a lonk to the thread?

[Delitealex]

Anyone have any team name ideas?

[Mandiann]

hmmm. I am terrible with names.

Just verifying the movies sent to me fit the criteria and finding one of my own. Will submit to Gisbelle very shortly. Did anyone get a chance to PM Charles or should I?

[Delitealex]

I'll do it

[Delitealex]

I don't see how to pm him he has an author page.

[Mandiann]

Hmmm, I see what you mean. Well Belle is aware he hasn't checked in and might get us a replacement. If he checks in before that, he will just miss getting to submit a movie. I will send ours in with just the four.

Once I get these submitted I will try to brainstorm some names.

[Mandiann]

Thanks for trying Delitealex.

Do you have any ideas for names?

We could be the Screen Junkies (I love their youtube channel. Honest Trailers are hilarious!) or Book Junkies? Will keep thinking.

[Delitealex]

From Book to Screen, Book trailers, Cinematic Readers

[Mandiann]

I need some Cinespiration.

[Mandiann]

I like Book Trailers.

[Cara]

I like cinespration.

[Delitealex]

I like cinespration and screen junkies

[Delitealex]

I'm excited to see the first movie.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yay! Hello guys! i'm here as your back up player :)

I like Screen Junkies

that's awesome!

[Mandiann]

Yay! welcome to the team!!

[Mandiann]

So it looks like the consensus is either Cinespiration or Screen Junkies. If we do Cinespiration would it be just the one word or would we work it into a phrase?

Yep, good find Mandiann. I think I'll read that one too!

I am still looking but haven't found anything worth mentioning yet.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yeah, this is the shortest with highest points I've seen
PLUS it's on Scribd. great find! Love how short it is! :)

[Mandiann]

Scribd? Hmm have to look into it. I was still looking cause my library doesn't have and it's $15 which I kind of don't want to spend.

[Gisbelle]

Lol I thought that was his bare butt >.<

Have you done scribd?

If not, I can send you a (I think) either 30 or 60 day trial and you can read all you want in those days!

[Mandiann]

No, I have not. What exactly is it?

[Mandiann]

Haha, kind of looks like it when its small.

It's kind of like having a library on-line. You can pay for a membership (You can do monthly, for a few month, or more). It has a lot of indie authors (you know where you get the first one free but the rest all cost) but it also has novellas and audio books. It does have new ones too! I really like it and it's how am able to do a lot of these challenge and not pay for books anymore :)

and you just search for a book, and then read it
the audio books are a little trickier, I think you are limited to how many you can get each month. it's great, I really love it
