Snowtulip | 4679 comments So a question on our plan :)

1) We're going to run through heat one and two simultaneously of Title Relay...
2) AND start Page Jumping while people are finishing up heat two of title relay?

Just checking to see if I should start lining up page number books in between now and start of challenge to provide you all ;)

Yup!!
With the addition for 2) that people can already choose their books for event 3 and/or 5. Specifically 5.

As a reminder, all of us need to read a book for Event 1, Event 2 and Event 5, i.e. 3 books as per the 1 book per week rule.

Ghost in the Stacks Yes, E, I just did, It was actually meant for you. I had to sneak on to my work computer real quick!

As soon as I read your message, I realised that for you and LaurLa it was a silly question since you arranged the switch earlier :-)
Jessica is ok with her choice as well since she specifically mentioned she wanted to read that book and that's how we built up that leg.

All good for the 7 book leg then! :-)


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I'm good with it.

I need to find books for the page jumping edition.

Will do once we're back at the hotel tonight!!!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Are we looking to do a second heat of title relay?


message 1822: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
Yes, we're fiddling with books for heat 2 as well.

You can also start figuring out which book to read for event 5 - create your chariot, once we're done with heat 1.

You totally made my day, Snowtulip! THANKS!!


message 1826: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments If only I knew how to make a cake like that to ship overseas :D

Well, a tail might be missing because K needs her part of the cake before it gets to you and V :)


message 1827: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments YAY! And enough to share with our awesome team!
Thanks Snowtulip!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I just looked at the chariot event.

I need to take notes on each!!!


message 1829: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Cover challenges are always the hardest for me!

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Me too!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Okay, I stole his laptop!

I guess I can start planning for other events, where do I put them?


message 1832: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
Euh..... throw it on the planning spreadsheet!

I'll set up a tab real quickly.

Otherwise, just put it here and I'll start putting together a post on the first page (which I'm in the middle of doing anyway).


message 1833: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5105 comments hmm new SS page alert lol


message 1834: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Page Jumping:

I can read for any page ranges, as you know I have no problems with large books.

So just stick me wherever you need :)


message 1835: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5105 comments yeahhhh I don't like big books and I cannot lie!!


message 1836: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments For Event 5, I'm going to be reading Cut & Run which has a knife on the cover (#3) and Lovers In Arms (#4) Title with exactly 12 letters


message 1837: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
Ah Cut & Run... :-))


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Okay! I put down 4 options! Now let me go look at the other events.

Page Jumping I can do as well.

I am queen of big books.
..but I did think we HAD to completed Heat One BEFORE starting the next event...
Let me reread, cause I had to have read something wrong.


message 1840: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
For Event 2 - Page Jumping, ALL of us need to read a book.

K, V and I were thinking about just letting you guys read whatever you want and then figuring out how it fits - and then recheck after a week or so to see what is still missing and fill up the holes.

If however, you feel more comfortable in planning it out in detail, we can do that, too.


message 1841: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
Yes, Heat 1 NEEDS to be done COMPLETELY before we can start any other books for other events.

We can still plan ahead though.


message 1842: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5105 comments Yes Heat 1 has to be completed 1st and then it's a free for all


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I do think we should line up our slots for Page Jumping.

Just to get a general idea!


message 1844: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Ok...maybe I just misunderstood The word "planning" I thought we were going to start reading...sorry, long day at work...


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Maybe make a SS for Page Jumping. I'd like to move The Bourbon Thief to that spot.

Fiddling... one sec!

While you're waiting on the page jumping:

LADIES! Who wants to do a sprint for event 4 - Fight Club?
Those rounds need to be done in order.
And remember:
NOTE ~ For the Fight Club Sprint - audiobooks, text readers and/or any speed reading apps are absolutely NOT allowed. Ways in which reading can be sped up in any way will be grounds for disqualification from the fight. Fight honest and fair!! Ebooks are allowed, but must have page numbers. If you use a Kindle, please find the corresponding page counts. Percentages will not be accepted and will be grounds for disqualification from the fight!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I found my choices for Book in the distance as well.

Umm I will do the sprints, but sometimes when you buy directly from the publishers for the kindle the page numbers doesn't always show up. It's the percentage.


message 1848: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
I know, but percentages aren't allowed unfortunately. It absolutely needs to be pages.


message 1849: by Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ (last edited Jul 01, 2016 04:05PM) (new)

Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Since it's a continuous thing, go ahead and sign me up. I'll make sure it's the page number.


message 1850: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
Which spots would you like for the sprints, Tamika?

Because:
▲ At least 3 different team members must complete the sprints.

So you'll get help :-)

Also - if you want to be a coach, jot your name down on the spreadsheet, or mention it here! (Coaches are an option, not a requirement - but the books do give points.)

Remember though:
▲ Coaches must read a book that features: Wrestling, Boxing and/or MMA in any format (professional, underground, cages fights, ect....)
