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.

Hey team *waves*

I played the last rounds and enjoyed. Looking forward to this round starting.

I am however hopeless at coming up with name.

[Joeera]

Hi team this is my 3rd time playing here a couple of ideas for team names.Nice to meet u all for the first time

5 buddies and a book
At your leasure
Page by Page
Reading between the lines
Between the covers with friends
Books are the best
It Takes 7 To Win
Seven's are up

[✿~Danielle~✿]

Are any of you playing SSS too? I'm doing both.

[✿~Danielle~✿]

Some pretty good names there, Joeera.

[Joeera]

So am i

[Joeera]

Thank u

[⚜️XAR]

Hi, all! I'm just doing SS, as I homeschool my son and don't have enough time to do both games. The only name that I keep coming up with is "Seven's Heaven", if we'd like to throw that into the hat.

I can also volunteer to be captain, if no one else wants it. I played the game last round and was co-captain of the Fearless 5 team.

[✿~Danielle~✿]

I got no problem being captain either.

Hey Trea.

*waves* Hello!

[Marty]

Hi everyone, it took me a while to find my name! Here I am at last. I'm only doing SS too, my schedule is pretty busy right now, with the fall semester winding down and the holidays coming up.

[Allison Ann]

Hi team. Sorry I didn't check in earlier but I'm unable to access the internet during my work day. So no captaining for me. :) I like using our team number in our team name, but I'm not very good at coming up with something. Maybe Seven Wonders of the Reading World?

I like your Team name suggestion, Allison!

[Marty]

I like it too, Allison. :)

[✿~Danielle~✿]

I also like it, Allison

[Allison Ann]

Morning team. Just having some breakfast before heading to our Remembrance Day service and then work. I've sent you all friend requests (except Marty - we were already on a Bingo, I think, team together once).

Trea and Danielle are both willing to be captain which is awesome. Glad we don't have to guilt anyone into doing it. ;) Do you want to share duties?

Hope everyone has a lovely day. I live in NW Ontario, Canada and it is coooooold looking out there. Going to have to dig out my longjohns pretty soon. :)

When I co-captained the team last round, I was the one doing the rolls for the round right at 1am EST, because my husband works third shift and I have to wake him up, as he has a tendency to sleep through alarms. I'm more than willing to do that again this round and post the roll in the specific thread. If Danielle wants to handle the organizing of the reviews, that would work, or I can do it as well. I'll leave it up to Danielle. 8)

[✿~Danielle~✿]

If you want to do all of it, I don't mind. However I can certainty keep track of reviews, if you want to split duties.

Let's go ahead and split the duties, Danielle, as it will be a bit easier with my homeschooling responsibilities for my son. Thanks!

I think that since everyone likes Allison's "Seven Wonders of the Reading World" team name, we should use that as our official team name. Shall I let Jenne know?

[✿~Danielle~✿]

No problem, Trea.

Yes, I think we're all in agreement on the name, so you can Jenne our name and captains.

How old is your son?

[Allison Ann]

Thanks for taking on the captaining duties guys. I've never come up with the team name before. If only I still kept a diary. :D

What time zones are we all in? I'm in Central time and I'm generally gone from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day but Wednesday. Lots of reading time, not a lot of posting time.

[✿~Danielle~✿]

I'm from the UK so on GMT.

Will do!

He's 5, Danielle, and in Kindergarten. We had him at a traditional school, but when a bullying situation escalated to him being grabbed in a choke hold on the playground at recess one day, I knew I had to get him away from there before the other child did permanent damage to him or even killed him. He seems more relaxed here at home, though it is harder to keep him focused on his work.

I'm in the Central zone as well - I'm in Baton Rouge. Thanks to Trea and Danielle for 'guiding the ship!' I'm envious of your impending trip, Joeera. Hi Allison, long time no see! (In a challenge at least.)

[Joeera]

That's horrible that happened to your son, Trea. They shouldn't have any worries at that age. Sound like homeschooling is the better and safer option.

[Allison Ann]

That's quite the vacation Joeera - sounds fantastic. I haven't taken a vacation since 2005. Good thing staying home and reading is like a vacation. :D

[Joeera]

I am going to my cousin's wedding who lives in Pakistan then on the way back i will be spending 3 weeks in Dubai at my cousin's houe who happens to be the bride's brother he and his wife live their

[⚜️XAR]

Hey Marty and Allison, have you folks played SS before? It sounds like you have, but I just want to double check.

Joeera, Congratulations to your cousin, and on the expansion of your family! It's so great you're getting a new cousin from the trip!

✼Danielle✼ wrote: "That's horrible that happened to your son, Trea. They shouldn't have any worries at that age. Sound like homeschooling is the better and safer option."

You're right, Danielle, and he is much happier here at home with us. The only thing we really have to worry about now is getting him to interact with other children his age, but our library is pretty good with doing lots of children's events.

Cool! I figured as much, but wanted to double check.

[Joeera]

This is my 3rd time playing like last time i am doing both again

[Joeera]

Trea i will not be getting a new cousin my cousin's are marring each other. They are both from my mother's side. The brides father and the grooms grandmother were brother and sister there are both my mom's older sibblings.

I was a replacement player in the last round, so this is my second time playing. Looking forward to Friday.

Week 1 Roll

Our Roll this week is: You rolled 2 dice:

6 6

Timestamp: 2014-11-14 06:02:55 UTC
6+6=12

We are on space 12 this week!

This means we can read the 1st book in a series, the 2nd book in a series, the 12th book in a series, or a book that has a title beginning with K.

[⚜️XAR]

I'm going to read A Kiss of Shadows this week which counts as both the 1st book in a series and a book title that begins with the letter K. That's the first time the books have lined up like that for me!

I'm not sure what I'll read yet, I'll be back later with my choice.

Nice roll Trea. :) I'll be reading Eye of the Storm by Jack Higgins, #1 in the Sean Dillon series.

I cheered when I got that last night...I never rolled a 12 last round, not once!

[Marty]

That's a very good first roll. I'm reading The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag - #2 in the Flavia de Luce series.
