Jenn would this cover count for #48 - headless person

[Jenne]

It will, I'm gonna say at least half of the head has to not be showing.

thanks, Jo ... I also have but I'm going to have to read that one quickly to get it back to the library, so I'll probably have it finished before we get to # 48 ...

Maybe someone else can use this title, though ...

[Book Concierge]

A couple more to verify cover colors

Blue enough? -

Pink enough? -

[Jenne]

Both will work :)

[~Leslie~]

Jenne, you posted that particular review so you could vicariously relive that series - right!!! Too bad you have to wait 6 months to re-read LOL!

[Jenne]

Busted lol! I figured if I was gonna put a review out like that it better be a good one =]

[Jenne]

Ok teams are up and you're welcome to stop by introduce yourself, hash out captaincy and names =]
You can find what team you're on here.

[❀Tea❀]

Hi Jenne,
I know we haven't even started yet, but I'll need backup for week 21-28 Nov. I'm traveling and won't have much time to read (this might happen few times during this round).
Or since there is no roll on 28th, can I read both books after 28th when I get back?

[Jenne]

Yeah, you'll just need to have the two books done by the 5th of December so it should work with your schedule perfectly :)

[❀Tea❀]

Great thanks.

(Keep that backup ready :P)

[Jenne]

Will do :)

[Kayla]

Okay what does the roll of captain do? This is my first time participating and looks like I will be captain!

[Jenne]

Basically you roll (or you can designate who rolls amongst the team), youll make a tracking post each week with each members book read and a link to their review, and you post the new spot the team is on along with a link to your tracking post in the post your spot thread. Take a peak at the archives if you want and you'll see it too.

[Kayla]

Awesome! Thank you Jenne!

[Stella ╰☆╮╰☆╮]

damn I missed it uff

[Jenne]

Stella it never fails that we lose a player at the start. If you want I can put you on standby?

I'd love to join so yes please

[Jenne]

Awesome! I'll keep you on standby and if we don't end up needing a new player after the first two rolls I'll just go ahead and place you on a team.

[Stella ╰☆╮╰☆╮]

Thank you so much Jenne! Meanwhile I'll try to understand how it works

[Shy The WidowMaker]

Hi Jenne, we have a member in team 3 who hasn't checked in yet. We were wondering whether she's lost or needs help finding us: Carrie (ICanHasBooks?)

[Jenne]

I sent a pm earlier today to anyone who hasn't checked in yet. Hopefully she'll pop in today :)

[Nicole]

We can still roll at midnight Central time on Thursdays correct? And if so can we roll tonight?

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

Hope it's okay that I'm posting this since I'm not the captain because my team captain hasn't posted this yet here.

Team 8's name is Crazy Eights and the other Amy on my team is the captain.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Jenne~Is this cover green enough ?

[Cait S]

Jenne, would this one be green enough?

[Jenne]

Yep Ang and Cait :)

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

Will any of these work for tree on cover?

[Kayla]

Do you have to read a book from start to finish during this week? Example I started a book a few days ago and I still have 200 pages left could I use that or start a new book?

[Jenne]

Books can't be started until after your team rolls.
