It is easier for us if you still include which cards (however, a few per book is enough, you don’t have to write down every single character if you don’t have time...)

[maria helena]

I’ll update the tracking sheet tonight. Unless I counted wrong, I think we only need another 7 books to finish!

Great job everyone!

You all have been doing a fantastic job!!!!

We've finished Parts 1 & 2 for the mini-challenge and just have to put together a story for Part 3. "This is the story of your tea party in your own words. Be as creative as you like. You can use as much or as little of a title as you see fit."

So far we have the following titles to choose from:

Red, White & Royal Blue
Wayward Son
Rebel Heart
Walking Disaster
Royal Holiday
Cloche and Dagger
This Old Homicide
A Beautiful Wedding
Something Beautiful
Pretty Little Liars
Black Sheep
White Knight
I'll Give You the Sun
A Man Called Ove
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
Room
Hired Bride
Snow Creek
Hushabye
The Secret of Chestnut Hall
Cemetery Stories
Rivers of London
Getting Played
Living for a Higher Purpose


We have quite a selection to choose from (which is better than not having enough), and we can still use any titles that we finish in the next couple days. Just have to limit it to 15 titles (at least that we get points for).

I thought we were done, so I didn’t post these earlier. Hope these work... the 2.6?

[Michele]

So we've completed all our hands??? Just have our tea-party story to write??

[Cathy M.]

I don't think that works for 2, but MH had already listed that one since it was already on your shelf. We can use Forget Me Not for #1. That just leaves #2 open.

[Jodi]

Ok let’s change card 2 ...name that starts with a T (Travis)

[Cathy M.]

Okay i just finished an S book that will work.

And we are done with our hands!

[Jodi]

Awesome!!

[Alla]

Fantastic job all!!

[Michele]

Woohoo!! I'm kind of sad to see this coming to an end. Great team! Now we need to write a story. We know Alla can write a fantastic one but I think it would be fun if everyone contributed one line and we just work off the previous line. Just a thought. Maria Helena had a great idea for the beginning. I'm open to all ideas.

[Alla]

I like that idea Michele :)
And I agree, I will be sad to see this end. This challenge has made me push forward books on my reading list, books that I might not have read yet otherwise.
Someone mentioned another challenge coming up...can't remember who...

[Alla]

And also "met" new book friends, lets not forget that! :D

[Michele]

I do so agree Alla. I truly hope we "meet" again. I have loved having you as a teammate. If you find another challenge please let me know.

[Michele]

So Maria Helena can you start our story??

[Michele]

As a side-note will we find out how our magnificent team did in comparison to the other teams? Just curious.

[Jodi]

This was super fun! Not only did I finish way more books than usual but I also added a lot to my list seeing what y’all were reading, lol! Hope to see you in another group, challenge or game sometime soon. Let me know what I can do to help with last section. I’m not as creative at writing as some of you though.

I wouldn't worry about being a "creative" writer. No pressure. Let's just make this last task about having fun as a team.

Thanks! Would you like to write the next line of our story please?

[Cathy M.]

Neat idea!

You can check our points vs other teams here here.

Keep checking NBRC - they have 2 big games every year and you'll see a lot of the same people there. They are my favorites of all the various games, besides Clue at Game Night. It should be coming up, May or June. I'll PM you once we know when sign-ups will be open (& when the games are ready to start)! Would love to be on another team again :)

Ok, haven't heard from anyone so I'll do the next line of our story.

We all arrived in Snow Creek for the tea party to celebrate the upcoming wedding between Eleanor Oliphant and A Man Called Ove. Everyone was dressed in red, white and royal blue to match the royal holiday wedding theme. Tea was served as well as something beautiful- a sumptuous red velvet cake layered with vanilla pudding, red and blue berries and whipped cream, and a variety of red and white wines.

Tea was served as well as something beautiful- a sumptuous red velvet cake layered with vanilla pudding, red and blue berries and whipped cream, and a variety of red and white wines.
It was a beautiful day for a tea party. The only downside to the day was that the bride´s family wayward son was in attendance. He was no white knight that young man, but rather the black sheep in that family, the rebel heart. He hadn´t been home for many years. His mother said that he had been living for a higher purpose and sailing the rivers of London.

Awesome job Alla! Thank you! Cathy could you please finish our story??

[Cathy M.]

Sorry writing is totally not my thing and I have no idea where to go from here...

Anyone else?

I don’t have internet for the next 2 days so I probably won’t be around much.
