TEAM CAPTAINS:
Those members interested in helping out as a Captain or Co-Captain need to have the following abilities on GoodReads, the Internet, and with a computer:
◆ Kind communication is key. Remember, this is a game; the main purpose is fun.
◆ Captains need to be able to start a secret group, “friend” their co-players (and the Scrabble Queen), and send personal eMails where needed.
◆ Captains need to verify each member’s books are on their “read” shelf with the appropriate date read indicated before posting in the weekly “finished” thread for review.
◆ Captains should be able to post a link to a member's bookshelf for the Scrabble Queen to review. {Hyperlink to a Specific Post or Bookshelf.}
◆ Being able to edit and post a picture is beneficial.
◆ Basic knowledge of some type of spreadsheet program is very beneficial.

Not this time.
This is an example of an encrypted quote - or cryptogram:
If you’ve read a few classic romances,PUZZLE #138: Encrypted Quote
One with a few significance glances.
You’ll get this one without a clue.
Which will be quite a coup.
Please DO NOT post solution here. Mail to ratminichallenges@gmail.com With Puzzle # in subject line. Be sure to tell me what Team you are assigned, though I have most of you memorized!
Decode the following encrypted quote:
Daop snn wh jao awgqo jasj dsq wlop jw vopomsn xpqlozjxwp ask eoop qoop, jaob mojgmpok kwdpqjsxmq, spk, jscxpv nosuo wh jao awgqocoolom, domo zwpqxvpok wuom jw jao vsmkopom, daw yoj jaoy sj jao asnn-kwwm.
This puzzle is worth two "triple threats".
For bonus "bouncing" cupcake
tell me author and title of the book from where this quote was taken. ☺
