No never :○( Well except for my work buddies that I've dragged on here lol, they don't seem to understand the whole challenge thing though, I get a strange look when I mention that haha
Yay Starbucks ......and don't forget my first ever taste of Taco Bells too!!
Same here! LaurLa's the closest person I've met on GR who I haven't dragged onto GR and who GETS the challenges! We just figured out the other day that our paths cross when we go to work (and not work from home)!
She lives northwest of Indianapolis & I live northeast -- then we both work fairly central north only she's slightly east of central and I'm slightly west!

Its always neat to see how these people are in real life.

Athena, ever the champion of heroes, wishes to offer you a boon. But alas, nothing can be given for free. You must complete this task fit for the Goddess of Wisdom. Here's her caveat, it's tricky be warned: the first book must be Main Page genre Romance
Read 5 linked books (i.e. Title Relay).
◈ Read 1st Book
◈ Read 2nd Book
◈ Read 3rd Book
◈ Read 4th Book
◈ Read 5th Book
Points: 60
I'd love to meet Ezi IRL I bet she's a scream!
Bugger!!!Well MPG romance is good lol

At least it's just the FIRST book that's romance...
I'm happy to let someone else lead off.. I'm still in my mystery/twisty/psychological phase... lol
V Nerd wrote: "I'd love to meet Ezi IRL I bet she's a scream!"No doubt!!!! She'd be a lot of fun too I bet!!!
I saw one of the teams had a 10 book title relay... so I was happy with 5
Too bad "The Sinner" doesn't have a more cooperative title!
Do we have a banked book that we could lead with?
Mod
Good idea. I'm too tired for a lot of thinking now (it's 1.30am) but there might be an option somewhere there.
Didn't we have a few options left from the earlier WOBBLE event...I don't think we ended up doing all the options did we?
V Nerd wrote: "I'd love to meet Ezi IRL I bet she's a scream!"The DFW is a huge place!
DFW ??Being a scream is slang here for being fun or a good laugh, just in case it means something else over there like a scary person or something haha
From Sanctum with Love (already read)Love Letters to the Dead
Dead to Me
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
Girl at War
Of course, I have no idea is anyone wants to read those book (first one is already read)...just throwing things out there ;)
DFWDallas/Forth Worth Metroplex
That is what we call it around here , it what we consider "local"
Its one of the biggest Metropolitan areas down here in the south.
We have about 14 major cities, and a ton of minor cities(10,000 or less population.)
Some Major cities:
Dallas
Fort Worth
Arlington
Plano
Garland
Irving
(There are more bigger cities, but I wont list them all, these are just the biggest by population)

I added a new sheet on our special s/s where we can play/add/delete/move books around to make a 5-book string...
I added a few like in the middle of a few of them as a place to start. They are all books I have to read and looked fairly 'connectable'...
If those other 4 are books you'd want to read, I can add them too! Anyone on our team should feel free to play on that sheet!

You're like a sneaky ninja ;) Didn't even see you in the spreadsheet :D
I'm laughing!!!!! It's been such a long day, I just realized those all linked... LOL!
I'm reading a romance right now!!
it's romance!
I'm trying to find a bottom book but no luck yet.
Maybe when LaurLa comes back from the football game... ;)
Damn, I forgot it was title relay. Pay no mind then.

Congrats Brownsburg!! Did you guys play Fishers HS or HSE?
Yay Karen! That may finish another labor!
Brownsburg played Fishers tonight. It looks like we played Westfield. We play you guys Oct 14th!I know it's weird bc Fishers/HSE are like 2 miles from each other. I think we actually live closer to Fishers.
Yes... I thought it was only three also but..sigh... no. :(I'm REALLY close to finishing mine. I'm not feeling it either so I'm really ready to be done with it. (It's probably more me than the book.)
I think Abbie is getting really close on hers too. And E said both of hers are close... so we'all probably go from 3 to 7-8 in no time.
Tamika is also reading for a last book in a labors and she's speedy.

Now I have to go be social :)"
