R1 TEAM THREAD: Team Orange - Orange You Glad We Finally Have a Name

[Vivian]

We're ready for a chip where to place???

Sorry ladies, I'll do better with getting everyone's books, ratings and all thst next week. I've been so off, my bad.

[Shelleyrae]

No problem Viv

I'd choose 1f or 3d for the chip

[Nici]

I like d3 with a hope of a diagonal connection

[Vivian]

I like the thinking! 3d sounds good to me too. Kristen, if you agree, want to go ahead and place the request?

[Vivian]

Or majority votes, someone else can make a request if they want :)

[Alyssa]

*runs in like her butt is on fire* DISTRACTION! I'm just gonna leave this here with you all for safe keeping. Hope you have everything protected from fire..... Thanks! *runs out*

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hey, OJs. Ya'll settled on a name yet? Want me to add it to your thread?

[Cindy (eclecticfirefly)]

[Kristen]

Do it up! Sorry, I've been sleeping!! It's summer and I don't work in the summer

[Vivian]

Yay team. 2 chips down, and we're that much closer to a bingo!

Orange You Glad We Finally Have a Name

[Nici]

YAY orange!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Whoop Whoop! :D

[Shelleyrae]

Hey team, just so you know, since I'm in Australia and as such on a completely different time zone to the rest of you, I'm happy to go along with whatever the majority decides in terms of chip placement etc as soon as it's possible- don't feel you have to wait for me to agree. I truly don't mind - I'd rather win :D

[Kristen]

#2! Finally!! :-)

[Kristen]

Sorry it's been taking me so long to respond, too. Since school is out, I'm not at my computer as often. Also, we're on vacation (as of today), traveling to Colorado and Arizona. I don't know if I'll always be in wifi range.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yay, School's out! :) Enjoy your holiday, Kristen!

[Vivian]

Since we're all on at different times anyways, I don't mind if chips are placed without my input either. If a spot looks good, do it :)

[Alyssa]

If none of you mind where the chips are placed, then who's gonna place the chips....? Just curious....

[Shelleyrae]

Lol don't worry your scaly little head over it Alyssa - we will get them placed and win! ;D

[Vivian]

what she said!

[Alyssa]

Well, it's an eeny-weeny-teeny-tiny bit not as fun winning if the competition isn't trying their best. :-P

I guess I'll just take my scaly little head somewhere where it's more appreciated.

*breathes fire on some furniture on the way out* Hey look! Now your furniture matches your team color! You're welcome.

[Kristen]

Wow...lots-o-spying by the other team!

[Cindy (eclecticfirefly)]

Nah....not really! Alyssa is just our scout. We send her out to poke around. She didn't say anything about needing backup here....nope! She's got ya'll well in hand.

BTW - love the crispy couch!

Right now, we're finishing up our two nights in Mesa Verde, Colorado. Tomorrow we're on our way to Flagstaff for a week! Can't wait!! If I knew how to attach a picture to the thread, I would.

[Shelleyrae]

I am going with First Grave on the Right which works well for white cover

[Kristen]

DONE! Today: 6/19/11

Three stars



I liked it, although it often felt like I was beginning in the middle of the series rather than in the beginning. I really liked all of the allusions that Jaz makes; she knows her pop culture. The fight scene at the end was really intense! I'm sure I'll read the rest of the series.

[Vivian]

Yay Kristen! I'm reading the second book for this round. I wasn't too crazy about the first, but a lot of people really enjoy Jaz so I'm giving it another go.

[Nici]

any thoughts on chip placements lady?

[Shelleyrae]

I have finished First Grave on the Right. I really enjoyed this, the lead is snarky, smart and I spent a lot of time smiling. This was a real surprise and I'd happily recommend it

4 stars read June 20th

c1 and c2 (go for a diagonal??)

or c1 and d4??

So many choices....I'm on vacation...too.much.thinking...aaaaaahhhhhh!!!

[Nici]

i finished The Lightning Thiefi give it ★★★★. This book was so fun to read! Had me struggling to remember my Greek mythology. I will be watching the movie and will continue with the series as well. Ladies, how you feeling about a chip?

[Kristen]

Wow! We are speeding through these books!!!

Nici, I've read the whole series and they are a BLAST! If you like audio books, the reader does a brilliant job and he reads all five books. The movie is fun, but it is so different from the book....it's almost like the director took pieces from all of the books.

[Alyssa]

Yay for the Percy Jackson series! I love it! I thought the series got even more awesome as Percy got older.

[Nici]

Great! I am glad This know that the rest of the series is good

[Shelleyrae]

Viv - how close are you to finishing?

[Steph, Serious series addict]
