I'm happy to join you all! This will be fun!!I like "One Book Closer" as a name, too.
"Bookfreak" is something my friends call me sometimes so I'm throwing it in the suggestion box, too, if you're not offended by the "freak" part, that is :P
Ever since Steph named this go-around "R2", my mind keeps wanting to name it "R2-D2" -- the real hero of Star Wars. ;-). "R2-T1" doesn't have the same ring to it.I'm liking "One Book Closer".
LOL Christina! Love that R2D2! :D
Steph wrote: "LOL Christina! Love that R2D2! :D"So do I. Note to self: Find and unpack R2 Christmas ornament and put next to laptop as mascot for challenge..:)
Hi girls, maybe you could use the idea that you're 9 in the group.. or that your group is larger than the rest, to play on a name for the team.Edit: just been thinking of 9-people famous groups and came to Tolkien. How about The Fellowship of the Book?
Good luck in the challenge!
Lol! Good idea CA. :)8 Isn't Enough
Nine Lives
Nine is Fine (lol)
Sorry. Those are all stupid. Great idea from CyberAlmu, poor execution from Laura. ;)
I'll keep thinking.
Christina--too bad we're not team 2, that would be super cute, R2-T2. :)
Laura Lulu wrote: "Christina--too bad we're not team 2, that would be super cute, R2-T2. :)"I thought the same thing when I made the comment. :)
Hola hola pretty ladies, so happy to be on this team!ooohhh I can't wait to start!, I'm still not sure if I know how to play but I'm telling you... I've got a good feeling about this!
Welcome to the group and the game, Lili! You're bound to have fun with it. No worries about the rules, it'll come to you quickly and you have a great team to help ya along the way.
Hi Lili! Bingo is super easy--you'll pick it up right away. We made it to the Caymans & the wifi works, but it's slow as molasses. I should have figured they didn't have crazy fast internet here. :) so I'll stick my head in here throughout the week. I'll send a message to the other girlies tomorrow night if we haven't heard from them by then. Otherwise, I'll be back here over the weekend to see the first shelf announcement. :)
And we need to pick a name before this weekend also, so put your thinking caps on. ;)
All right... you can't say I didn't try.I'm terrible at picking names but I wanted to give the team some fun choices and some with numbers… also, baseball teams have 9 players too so maybe we could use that.

FYI, from reading some of the other threads, it looks some people are MIA, so we might not have 9 team members if they have to fill spots elsewhere.
Sarah wrote: "Hi! I'm new as well but very excited to participate!! :)"Welcome to the team Sarah!
I'm not in your group but I like Venomous Vixens and Victorious Secret.
Hey now! I suggested Victorious Secret for my team too. Too funny! :D I've PM'd Laurie, so hopefully you'll see her around the team thread soon.
Hi everyone! I didn't realize the new teams were up :)I like both One Book Closer and CA's The Fellowship of the Book.
Can't wait to get started!
I like One Book Closer and Venomous Vixens :)
I like The Fellowship of the Book, too!That or something with nine...
glad you're liking The Fellowship, ladies!BTW Thenia, I have that same pic on my MSN! So whenever I read your comments it immediately comes to my mind "I don't remember posting here..."
Sunako-chan rules!! I used to have this picture everywhere! ^^
Good luck the unnamed Team #1!
Looks like we need to catch up to the other teams and pick a name. My vote is One Book Closer.
Thenia wrote: "Sunako-chan rules!! I used to have this picture everywhere! ^^"SHe's the funniest character I've seen in a while!! She's so cute and crazy. I love her!
"One Book Closer" - that's cool. One book closer ... to winning? ;)
My vote is for One Book Closer--that seems to be the most popular. So is that cool with everyone else? My team last round was also the last to pick their name. Oh, well. ;)Steph should be posting the 1st shelf today, her Sunday in Japan comes about 13 hours before my Sunday in the US. :)
Still pending a name for Miss Judithe's team too, so no worries ONEders. :D (Ever see that Tom Hanks movie? "That Thing You Do" the band called themselves the ONEders)
Laura Lulu wrote: "My vote is for One Book Closer--that seems to be the most popular. So is that cool with everyone else? My team last round was also the last to pick their name. Oh, well. ;)Steph should be posting..."
It's still Saturday night here & I'm 2 hrs ahead of Steph :) Patience, Beach Baby :D
LOL! Love the nick, Laura. :D *jealous* Have a blast for those of us not beachin' it.
Hey, I didn't say she'd be posting it NOW, but it's 8am Saturday here (7am at home), so she'll be posting it sometime today for me, right? Right??? ;)And why were you holding out on us Steph? I love the name the ONEders. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
:) Yeah, that sounds right, it should be sometime today for you. Just now thought of it. Glad you like. :)
Yes, not that I can vote but I like it too!
Shhhh! I don't think she's noticed the new nick!
LOL...I'm also not voting but do love SSBB's Oneders....
Important Rule Change: All members of your team must read, rate and review a book in order to receive a shelf stampLet the game begin!
Our First Shelf is: 'part-of-a-series'
DIRECT LINK: 'part-of-a-series'
Good luck & Happy Reading!
REMINDER: Everyone may now start their free space read as well, if they want
At this point, we should just call ourselves the "Nameless ONEders". ;-)
I love ONEders and the "Nameless ONEders"! ^^And we've got our first shelf!!!
Happy reading everyone!
