Good morning, Team 2! (At least it is morning here in Minneapolis.)

Nice to meet all of you.

Guess we have to come up with a name...I was not blessed with the Creative Naming Gene, unfortunately. But, I will try to think of something to throw out there.

GO TEAM 2!!

[SandyC]

OK, just a few ideas for names:

Second to None
Series Junkies
Ravenous Readers
Partial to Paranormal
Lit Ladies

If you're into vamps (like me!)
Fang Fixation
Bit-Lit Ladies

[Lady Jaye]

Hi, Team!!

[SandyC]

Hello, Lady Jaye!!

[Lady Jaye]

Hi Sandy! I like Second to None!!

[Audrey]

Hello ladies! This is my first time playing so I am still a little unsure how this all works, but I will pick it quickly. :) The creative naming gene also flew right by me. "Second to None" sounds good to me.
I am kind-of nervous ... I haven't been this nervous in a LONG time! LOL

[Lady Jaye]

Hey Audrey! I think we are all newbies at this, so we can be nervous together, hehe!

[Audrey]

That make me feel a little better Lady Jaye. :)

[SandyC]

Hi Audrey!
It's my first time too! :-)

[Lady Jaye]

(Bit-Lit Ladies sounds cool too, LOL!)

[SandyC]

How about Brides of Bit-Lit?
Bit-Lit Babes? LOL

[Audrey]

I am go glad I am not the only one here that is a first timer. I'm good with whatever name ya'll want. Maybe CaroB or Rachel might have some ideas. So, we start this week and the first self will be announced Sunday, right? What is the easiest way to find the selves? I tried to understand it on the Rules, but was having trouble with it.
Can you tell I am nervous about screwing this up?! Once we start I will be ok. LOL I am normally not a nervous kind-of person ... no, really I'm not.

[SandyC]

No reason to be nervous, this will be FUN.
The way I understand it, Steph will post the shelf name every Sunday, along with a link to the shelf so that you can see the hundreds of books to choose from.

[SandyC]

And...not to worry because you have your team to help you! :-)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Oh my goodness, are all you ladies new to the game? I tried to make sure at least one return player was on each team. Sorry 'bout that! :/

Ya'll ask me any questions you may have, at anytime! There are no dumb questions. You will find it very easy to play, I promise.

[SandyC]

We still haven't heard from 2 of our members so one of them may be a veteran.

If no one else is dying to be team captain, I will volunteer for it.

[Rachel-RN]

I've played before. Direct links to each shelf are posted as they are called. It's fun browsing all the titles. It's easy:-) I also suck at team names. I do like these: "Ravenous Readers" and "Partial to Paranormal"

[SandyC]

Hello Rachel!
Let's get this party started! :-)

[Lady Jaye]

What are we calling ourselves, ladies? (Sandy it looks like you're the only one of us with the Creative Naming Gene, LOL!)

[Lady Jaye]

Oh I forgot, Hi Rachel!!!!

[SandyC]

Ha ha! Maybe CaroB will have some ideas and then we can vote on it.
I'm excited to learn what our first shelf will be.

[Audrey]

Hi Rachel ...
Thank goodness we have at least one veteran to the game. I have been looking at my bookshelf here at home, hoping that I will have books for most if not all the selves we will be reading from. I am just ready to get started! :-)

[Rachel-RN]

Shelf posted: Supernatural

[Rachel-RN]

I'm reading:
And for free space --> just got from library!

[Audrey]

I am going to read:
Do we do the free space now?? We will only get credit for the free space if we pick a book from the 3 links?
Can we start as soon as the self it announced?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Audrey, Yes, Yes and Yes.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi, Team2! I apologize, but seems your Bingo card was exactly the same as Team1. I accidentally posted the same info on both. So, I've updated your card, making it original. Please review posts #2-3 to see your new Bingo card layout.

[SandyC]

Oh, wow, I couldn't wait for this to get started and now it's here! I sent a PM to CaroB with a link to our team thread.

I will read This Side of the Grave for my Free Space, and Kiss of Midnight for Supernatural.

Thanks Sandra ... I will post my "free space" read ASAP!
Two more question ... do I post a link here to the book review? How do I do that?

[Lina]

Wow, how did I miss all this action? I really like the Second-to-None name. I could only think of Reading Rascals (RASCL as in the first letter of all our names).

Sandy, appreciate the PM, oh, and I'm new to this too :-)

Will get back to you shortly on my choices. It's one a week is that right?

[Audrey]

For the "free space" will be reading: (Option C:Group Self)

Thanks cute! Reading Rascals ....
Welcome CaroB!

[Lady Jaye]

Hi CaroB!!

Sorry everyone, I fell asleep :)

For the Free Space I am going to go with from our Group Shelves.

For the supernatural shelf I am going to read by Gail Carriger.

Happy reading everyone!

um...so what is our name, lol.

[Lina]

My Free Space read will be The Perfect Play by Jaci Burton from Option 2, topic "Our Highly Anticipated New Releases", message 3.

[Lina]

Ooh, Lady Jaye, is there any rule about us all having to do different books? I've been trying to get to Heartless for a couple of months and this could be the nudge I need.

[Lady Jaye]

No, CaroB, I don't think there is. We could have a mini-buddy read, lol!

[Lady Jaye]

oooh Rachel, I've been eyeing Truthseeker for a while now....

[Lady Jaye]

Ok I need to stop prefacing my sentences with oohs and ending them with exclamations.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

There's no rule regarding same/different books...but enjoy whatever you read!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

LOL@ Lady Jaye!

[Audrey]

I vote "Second to None" as our name and Sandy (since she volunteered) as our team captain. I also like the name Read Rascals. :-)

[Lady Jaye]

I am a bit swamped with some of my books, so I am going to start these later in the week. Maybe Wednesday.

Oh, and um, one more thing. I hope you guys will forgive me in advance because I get most of my books from the library. I'll they to get only available books, or books that I already own. If I can't do that, then I'll have to go on the waitlist and we will get our stamp late. Sorry! But i'll try to not do that.

YAY! I thought I'd remembered one of you ladies had played before - phew! ;)


Audrey wrote: Two more question ... do I post a link here to the book review? How do I do that?"

Hi, Audrey. For your review, you should post it here, not just a link to your GR review. However, some people have used GR's "blog this review" option to share it here.

EXAMPLE: After you post your review, you can view it, like this: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
To the right, there's an option that says "blog this review" with some HTML gibberish in a box. Click on the HTML box and copy, then pop over to your team thread and paste it. It's that easy. :)

Hope that helps!

[SandyC]

Yay we are all here now! Shall we put our name up to a vote?

Reading Rascals
Second to None - 1
Partial to Paranormal
Ravenous Readers
Other ( write-in)

I vote for Second to None
