R8: SS Team ReadyPlayer2 (2)
Mod
Each number corresponds with the spot on the board.
For colors: The cover has to be at least 50%
For locations: As long as the book takes part at all in the given location
For Shelves: Any book on the given shelf
For Publication Years: I'll be using how GR has it's publication date listed.
For Authors Names: The first, middle, or last name of the author is ok.
For Cover Items: Must have the given item on the cover
For Titles: Only the first word of the title. A, An, And, and The do not count.
So if the letter is B: The Best Day would be ok. Dear Betty would not be ok.

Hi Team 2! Looking forward to a fun game and a chance to get back into some unfinished series on my shelf. :) We need a team name and a captain. I don't volunteer but I'll get started thinking of a team name. :)
Hey guys :) Uhhhmmm what does the captain need to do?
The game begins on Friday. The captain will roll the dice every Thursday night once all of the reviews are in. She will also "turn in" all of our reviews and post our "spot" on the mod link.
Hey team. I can be Captain but would need help. I can link our reviews and everything up but normally I am not up that late to roll on Thursday night. If someone wants to roll and then I link everything the next morning that's fine or if yall want to wait until I roll on Friday mornings it would be around 6-630 am.
Either I or Maddison can do the roll if she is available and has interest in taking part. I'm always up late. Maddison the roll is normally done late Thursday around midnight.
We also need to come up with a team name. Anyone have any ideas?
Yeah I can do the roll. But when someone next gets on, can they tell me how many hours until midnight? Because I'm in a weird time zone and so I'll probably definitely be here at your midnight.This is a book a week, right? I remember managing to get through a whole series because we kept getting into the next set of ten and it was awesome :D
Yes Maddison this is one book per week. The time zone used is CST. So right now, it's 4:19pm, Monday CST.
Seeing as limit's 150 pages, does that mean all books need to be bigger than 150 pages?
Okay so 10 hours ago for me was 9:30am, so midnight for you was in about 7.5 hours. That means that 7.5 hours from 9:30am is 5pm for me my time the following day. So that means I need to be available to roll at 5pm every Friday. I'm not sure I'll be able to do that, but we'll see :) Glad I did the maths though :p
Any suggestions on team names?
Here are a few names to get us started:The Page Turners
The LitChicks
ReadyPlayer2
Haha ReadyPlayer2 :pAnd I'm in New Zealand.
Hi! I'm new to Goodreads and this is my first SS challenge so I might need a bit of help in the beginning. I just noticed that the teams were made so I'm sorry for checking in so late! Any name for the group is fine with me :)
Ok are we cool with ReadyPlayer2?
Ok I will get us all set foe Team name and me as Captain.
This starts tomorrow right?
Yes. We roll tomorrow. Do you want me to roll the first couple of times so you can get an idea of how it works?
Mod
starts at 12:01am, right after midnight tonight
I've played this before, but yeah sure, a refresher would be good.I thought you wouldn't be available to roll though. How many hours until midnight?
I'm available to roll every week if needed. 5hrs until roll time

Ok I will see you ladies in the morning. My post above will be where once rolled I put the roll there and I put all our reviews every week.
Ah alright so 5pm is roll time for me. Yeah, I probably won't be able to do that every day. Maybe today but we'll see. Normally it's the first week's rolls that are the hardest, seeing as there's only one series number to choose from.
Alrighty. You going to remember that's where they are? :p
ok- team- our first roll is a 9. This puts us on spot 9 to start.9th in a series or alternate= location California
Oh good gosh. I was hoping we wouldn't get such a big number! 9 is terrible! And is there a page minimum?
Yes- it's a tough one. 150 page minimum.
I'm going to read
- (location, California)
Yes Madison we have a week. I will be back with my read soon.
Im going to try to read
if I can snag it from the library tomorrow
Im going to read
Which is in California
I suppose it can't be hard to find a book set in California. Just need to actually read one :p I'll have to look to Listopias.
Might need to read Starters, even though that'll take me a while. I have another 6 days, Hmmm.....
I'm 21% through my California book, Starters :) And I'm going away this weekend so I won't be able to start a book for the next roll until I get back. I'm just pleased I owned a book set in California, especially one I've wanted to read :p
