Kristie | 3595 comments Oh fun!! What a great idea! :)


message 402: by ~Melissa~ (new)

~Melissa~ Found a cool avatar - I may look for more but liked this one

here is the site I used

message 403: by ~Melissa~ (new)

~Melissa~ oh and the tech spaz actually didn't have any problems *patting myself on the back* LOL


message 404: by Kristie (last edited Nov 07, 2014 06:23AM) (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments Yay! Thanks for the site, Melissa. I got one! I may try to edit the background a bit so that the dagger shows in the pic. I'm not sure how to do that yet, but I'll work on it.


message 405: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments Figured it out! Just need a good elf name now. I'm sure there's one of those "find your elf name" games for that! lol


message 406: by ~Melissa~ (new)

~Melissa~ Ooohhh I liked that one, too, Kristie!


message 407: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments Thanks! Yours looks bada$$, like she's ready to do book battle! Mine looks a little inexperienced, but certainly ready to jump in there and battle with the team. Appropriate, I think. :)


message 408: by [deleted user] (new)

Are you guys putting pictures up here of them? B/c I can't see!


message 409: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments Taryn - it's our avatars. Look at our profile pics. :)


message 410: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments Kristin - Enjoy your visit with your parents! My mom is going to be moving in with us in a couple years.


message 411: by [deleted user] (new)

Ohh gotcha lol


message 412: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments Ok, I am Gaildis. :)


message 413: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments Just a few updates for message 18 -

1) I am also joining The Rosie Project buddy read on 11/15.
2) The Unwind buddy read is scheduled for 12/14.
3) I am not going to do the questions for The Knife of Never Letting Go. I'd have to re-read to get the points and I didn't really like the book, so I don't want to re-read it.
4) I am hoping to join two other buddy reads not listed yet, but I'm not sure if I'll have time. They are: Ready Player One on 12/1 and Shadow & Bone on 12/28.

I have already started Code Name Verity and Big Little Lies for buddy reads. :) One more day!!!


message 414: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm so close to being done with two books both 700 pages. Yes!

Mine is Malrin (Mal+treen). I don't want to put one up as my avatar but I will put a little picture here of the one I found that I like. I like her because her hair is similar to mine, and she looks like she kicks some serious butt.

Tory Hendershot (nghtstlkr64) | 240 comments I'm Inthel.


message 416: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1643 comments For the duration of the TTIII I've changed my avatar and name. :)

Here's a bigger pic of the photo I chose. Cougar familiars are my jam.

Since you are our captain (Elven queen) maybe you should assign us jobs and that can be our mini challenges- read something associated with the profession given to you by the queen. ;)


message 418: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1643 comments Updated Posts 16 and 18 with our Elven names and updated BR/BOM info. Word on the street is that our fancy spreadsheets will be arriving soon. I will put together an alternate one just in case it doesn't get to us in time, and back ups are never a bad thing. :)


message 419: by Jenn (new)

Jenn (engelsigh) | 1339 comments I'm going to go with Nemirdis which means water jewel.


message 420: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments So, I just realized that my name means "bright light bride" and we are the "elves of deep shadow". I'm feeling a bit like a flashlight. :) lol

Love your shadow queen Logan! Perfect to lead all us elves. Everyone's avatars look awesome. We definitely look like we are preparing for battle!


message 421: by Hilary (new)

Hilary (bookboss) I am going to be joining in on the Bitten buddy read and the Pretty Little Liars buddy read - both in January.


message 422: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1643 comments Updated to here! Less than 12 hours to the official start!


message 423: by Hilary (new)

Hilary (bookboss) I am doing the Zoya buddy read too, dec 22.


message 424: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1643 comments Okay, gotcha. Thanks!


message 425: by Jenn (new)

Jenn (engelsigh) | 1339 comments So technically if i finish any books around 230 am arizona time they count?

Woohoo! Almost time.

Yep!


message 428: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1643 comments Okay, I've created an interim/backup team spreadsheet. I will link to it on the first page.

Most of the data fields automatically update. The only information we have to manually enter are on our individual sheets: BOOK (title and author); DATE READ; PAGES; BR POINTS; and BOM POINTS.

Page points will automatically tally based on the pages you enter in the Pages column. Because the BR and BOM point schemes are much simpler, I left that open for us to update manually (enter 30 for BR; 20, 40, or 60 for BOM).

Take a look and let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

TEAM SPREADSHEET

~Melissa~ I'm Cainis - I have to go add it to my name for this challenge

I can't take full credit. I modified it from the one we used last round in Electric Lime. One of the Megans made it. And I copied the pages points formula from the Fire element spreadsheet. ;)


message 432: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments LOL

OK, I'm going to link your points page to the darkness spreadsheet, so I can look at the teams at same time.

I'm still deciding if I'm going to put all member teams together like Tea did or not. Being sick this past couple of days was not in the plans. Oh well... at least I'm feeling better in time of the start.

I bow down to the spreadsheet. I was going to make one for my team but now I can't stop looking at this one while I wait for the mod sheet.

Enjoy your time with your parents. Much more important than commenting :)

Logan (loganturner) | 1643 comments I have sad news. Team Baleful Dragon needs another player, and we are slightly over our book quota goals, so our teammate Tory is being transferred. :(

I am so sorry to see you go Tory! Best of luck with the Baleful Dragons!
