R12: SS Team 8 - Reading Eight Days A Week

[Maddie]

So we won't be winning right? We were so clooose.

And it's totally not your fault on the dice there Sam XD

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

The alternate for 99 would be MC travels by airplane.
Either spot is fine for me. I'm good with whichever option the rest of the team prefers. :)

Close, but not close enough. But hey, winning's not everything, the main point is having fun! :D

[Maddie]

Yes definitely! Series is key!

If it doesn;t look like we are in the running, then we might as well use our bonus points

[Sam]

I thought sticking at 94 would at least give us the 4 option. Going to 99 only gives us the 9 option (plus alternate).

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

I'm just gonna go with this since it works for either spot:

That;s a valid point, I hadn't thought of that.

Review:
I read the first three books in this series a few years ago and found them mighty entertaining. Apparently I've missed quite a lot between those and this book - Jack has quit her job, acquired a husband and kid somewhere along the way, and apparently gone through sufficient trauma to turn her into a raging bitch. The supposed humour in this book was mostly just annoying as hell, and the plot ridiculously over the top. I just didn't have the patience for any of this nonsense.

Team 7 has submitted their final batch of reviews for spot 102, so we have a winner for this round.

[Sam]

So should we read books for this week?

[Maddie]

Oh holy cow that was sooo quick!

Up to you. Some players like to finish their last roll, others stop as soon as a winner is called. :)

Thanks team, and especially to Sam for being a great captain!!

[Maddie]

Yes thanks team! Always such an amazing challenge <3

[Sam]

It was fun playing with you all.

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

Thank you all, it's been so much fun and we were a great team! :)

Thank you for your company everyone. I have yet to be on a winning team in all the years on GR in so many different groups, but that never worries me as I always have so much fun meeting everyone, finding a suitable book and then of course there is the reading itself. Looking forward to seeing you all on another team.
