The alternates:
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 teamies!

[Jenne]

I already know all of you!

Any volunteers for captain and name ideas?

[Jenne]

I know Theo and I have played before, it's really easy to play. The main thing is having our books done on time. It's best to have them in a day early so we can roll ASAP on Thursday and Sunday. If ever anyone is running late please let the team know so we're not wondering and worrying about it.

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Okay this is my first time playing something like this. I only know Jenne boo.

So hello to my new teammates and friends.

[Jenne]

It's fun :)
I just edited the dice info in post 2 (copy and paste gets me into trouble lol) so what's on there now is correct. We'll start this Sunday for our first roll :)

[Jenne]

Ok so some name ideas


The 1 and only
First place readers
One for the road
or goofy names from a randomizer
Night Bombers
Venomous Bandits
Wind Reapers
Lightning Kickers

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

I like first place readers.

[Jenne]

Me too :)

[~Leslie~]

Hello Teammates! So glad to have found my team.

I have played this several times and have done many team challenges.

I can't remember what the captain needs to do on this one but I'm happy to volunteer. My only drawback is I have no access to GR during the daytime work week.
I'm on central time in the US and I will have no problem getting my two books read.

And I also like First place readers.

[Jenne]

Captains have to link up the reviews and post it in the post your spot thread and roll. Whoever can roll first should. Leslie if you want to share the duties we can. I can always roll at midnight on Saturday night I don't stay up that late on Wednesday night though. Is there anyone who's up at that time?

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

I don't want to be a captain but Wednesday night's I can roll. I'm also in the central time zone.

[~Leslie~]

I'm happy to co-captain with you, Jenne! Though I am not up at midnight on Wednesday's either, unfortunately.

[Jenne]

Well let's have Mika roll the Thursday roll, I'll post those reviews and spot since I'm on during the day time. I'll roll Sunday or you Leslie if you're up and then Leslie will do the reviews and posting Sunday, how's that sound? I'll shoot Theo a pm today too.

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

That's fine with me, just let me know what to do.

[Jenne]

It's easy, and since we start Sunday you'll see how we do it before you have to. There's a link to roll the dice on our thread in post 2. You have to change it to 1 die though before you roll.

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Oh it seems easy enough, thanks

[Jenne]

NP :)

[Theo]

Sorry I'm late to the party! I meant to check in yesterday after work, but I got roped into making a cake last night for a work party and the night slipped by.

I'm excited to play again. I sat out last time and I missed it!

First Place Readers sounds good to me. I can't wait to get started.

[~Leslie~]

That sounds good to me. Do we know what time I have to post by on Sunday?

Welcome, Theo! I think we are going to have a great team.

So is there a hard and fast time to have our books done and reviews posted for each of the days?

Also, is there a specific format we need to post the books that we will be reading and do we need to include page numbers? If I remember correctly, the last team I was on wanted it a certain way. Just checking!

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Hi, Theo.

Leslie that's a good question?

I wanted to know something similar, also can we read whatever genre we want?

[Jenne]

I like the reviews and roll to be posted in post your spot on the day we roll.
Preferably let's get our reviews in on Saturdays and Wednesdays and if there's ever a time RL has us running on into Thursday or Sunday just let the team know.
Page numbers aren't necessary, as long as the review has the spot, link to book, date finished, rating and a review (few sentences is on doesn't have to be fancy) then were good :)

[~Leslie~]

As far as I know you can read any genre as long as it fits what we roll.

Jenne, what do you mean by post your spot? I think my brain is not working today!

And posting on Wednesday and Saturday seems perfect!

[Jenne]

Oops forgot that one! Any genre is cool :)
It's the thread where captains post the spot you've moved to and a link to the reviews. Hang on and I'll go find a link in the archives :)

[Jenne]

This was from the last round

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Okay, I got that. Thanks ladies!

Quick question since I'm rolling on Wednesday night's do I post it there or here? Let you guys( the captains) deal with the other thread. Just post our roll here.

[Jenne]

Just do it here and we'll deal with it :)

[~Leslie~]

Thanks, Jenne!! So our first roll is Sunday?

Just making sure - I will be in NO this weekend visiting my kids and my mom. But I'll be on and off the computer - no worries!

[Jenne]

That's right! If you want me to I can post our spot after rolling. That way you can hang with the family :)
Maybe you'll see a Valkyrie while you're there lol.

[~Leslie~]

Ha!! I'm not sure where they hang in NO. That's probably one of the things that bug me most about that series. I can go on a total rant about books set in New Orleans that get it soooooo wrong! Though I wouldn't mind having beignets with "nucking futs nix" Did I get her name right!!?!

And that would be awesome if you could post.

[Jenne]

That's her name lol :)

[~Leslie~]

Good morning Team!

Can't wait to start this!

[Jenne]

Me too! It's almost time :)

[Theo]

I'm also out of town for the weekend, but I'll try to check in as soon as possible on Sunday. I'm getting excited. I'm sending good roll vibes to you, Jenne!

[Jenne]

I'll blow on the mousepad first lolololol

[Jenne]

Theo, what's your avi picture of?

[Theo]

It's a metal sculpture from Dr. Evermor's Sculpture Park in Wisconsin. You can find out more here: http://worldofdrevermor.com/

I went on a road trip across Wisconsin, Minnesota, and both Dakotas last summer. It was one of those Roadside America recommended places to see.

*Checking out the competition,
I see Jenne hooked herself up with heavy hitters
SMH!*

[Jenne]

Mr. R did, not me!

[~Leslie~]

Hi Ezi!! **waving back**

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Boo Ezi,

*just playing hey boo!*

Ummm, can you give me Mr. R's phone because I need to call him.

Hey to the Homies Leslie and Mika! I WILL be keeping an eye on you guys. You know, for your own protection of course.

@Theo, you got another YA book for DB this month. *Snickers, enjoy the love life of teenagers

[Theo]

I'm hoping the historical fantasy elements will keep me interested!

[Jenne]

Theo you're gonna laugh but I thought your avi was people dressed up in suits lol. That place sounds really neat. We went to this museum in Key West where this guy made all of these old metal statutes using mufflers and various car parts. Odd but neat.

[~Leslie~]

Just a few more hours!!

[Jenne]

*crossing fingers* for a good first roll!

[Jenne]

Looks like NO is drowning right now Leslie. All that mess is missing us, we need it :(
