Round 1: Sequels

[Olivia]

On Sunday, June 22nd, we'll be starting our very first round of Members vs. Mods (which I am confident the mods have in the bag; and no, I'm not partial to either group here). The challenge for this round is... sequels! For clarification, a sequel is considered any book in a series, excluding the first book in the series. So get those sequels ready that you've been putting off for the past 5 months, because you're going to need them!

The goal of this challenge is to read as many sequels as you can during a period of one week. If you are interested in participating in the challenge, please post a comment below before Sunday. Then, either during the course of the week or at the very end of the week, edit your initial post to include the titles of all of the applicable books that you have read for the challenge. Please, please, please edit your post, instead of creating a new one. This tends to throw off our numbers and makes scoring a bit difficult. Additionally, remember to edit your post before Sunday, June 28th to give the mods enough time to calculate the scores and announce the winner. If you do not enter the titles, your score will be counted as a 0 and will negatively impact the average number of books read by members.

The moderators will be confirming that all books mentioned fit the requirements of the challenge, so don't try to tell us that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a valid choice.

We realize that this is a fairly new concept to many of our members, so we encourage you to ask as many questions as possible, before, during, and after the challenge so we can work out any kinks that may exist and clarify any uncertainties.

So, without further ado, let the sign-ups begin!

[Anastasia]

I´ll sign up as the first one! This sounds good, and I´ve had a few sequels on my shelf for some time..

[Bharvi]

I'll also sign up! I can't wait!

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

I don't have very many sequels to read, but I'll join anyway.

The challenge is a week long - it begins tomorrow (Sunday, June 22) and ends on Saturday, June 28.

I'll sign up! Sounds very interesting. Wish I could read something more than last week...

[Sparkle]

I want to join as well!

[Olivia]

Round one officially starts today! You can either track your books here as you go, or you can compile a list here at the end of the week. Remember to submit your final list of books, or your score will be counted as a zero.

Please remember to post your books tonight - the scores will be tallied and the winner will be announced tomorrow. Any member that does not post will contribute a 0 to his/her team's average score (so I would recommend posting!). Good luck!

Sorry about the typos in the titles of the books I read- it's Scoundrels not Scoumdreld- but I wanted to post them before school and I was running late.
