No worries Susan, I'm trying to put things in bold that I think other people might be wondering about as well.

Ren, have a read through the first few posts in this thread again and see if it's any clearer. The main things to know is this is all about fun. I'll post a song each week and everyone in your team has to read a book within the week that can link, somehow, to that song. Your team can all read the same book or each read a different book, it's all good.
Once you've finished reading your book for that week, post a review (here's an example of one if that will help, but you can set it out how you want) of that book in your team thread. When everyone in your team has finished a book for that week, your team captain will post a progress report for that week, and then link to the progress report in the Hey Mrs DJ thread and I'll groovify your dance card.

Is that helpful?

[Lauren]

Thanks Susan, Lisa Kay, CaroB. I know how I will be spending my morning - going through songs and matching books to them, lol!

No worries Lauren! That's half the fun :-) just remember that most of the songs wont be picked. (Spoilsport, aren't I?)

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Excellent! The first team named!!!
Will you be the yellow captain shosho?

[Ren Puspita]

Team name: One-Eyed Purple People Eaters

[Lina]

Lol, Lauren! Purple people eater? is that a dig against team 6? J/k!

[Lauren]

Lol! Maybe team 6 should be on the lookout for us. Be afraid, be very afraid...

[Lina]

Speaking of Team 6, we are the Six Book Girls and I'm acting as Captain this round :)

[Mary X]

Team 2 is still waiting to hear from 1 member.

[Lina]

Thanks for the update, Mary. Since it's been a day, I'll contact Anna for confirmation that she wont be joining us and approach the back-ups to see if they're prepared to step in. Will get back to you ASAP.

[JenniferJ]

Lauren says: "Lol! Maybe team 6 should be on the lookout for us. Be afraid, be very afraid..."

As a member of Team 6 us "Book Girls" are ready for you "Purple People Eaters"!
Bring It! LOL

[Melissa]

LOL the smack talk has me giggling.

[Lauren]

Lol!
Ah, a rivalry to spice things up a little. Looking forward to it.

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

Team Two is still waiting for to hear from a member....*sighs*

[Lina]

Team 2 is now complete.

All team players have now signed in to their team threads.

Hope everyone's ready!

[Lina]

I will be posting our first song in the Now Playing thread in approximately 13 hours!!!

Just FYI, this will be Wednesday evenings, my time (I'm in Queensland, Australia), and I will be trying to keep the timing the same every week.

Do we have any more Team Names and Captains decided?

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Can I tell you I am so ready for the song announcement?! This is on the scale of me stalking the BSB threads for the shelf announcements LOL

[Gisela, Moderator]

LOL! Susan I think I'll be stalking too!

[Gisela, Moderator]

We haven't officially begun and I'm already having fun reading all the smack talk here! LOL!

[~Megan~]

So excited!!

[KarenF]

Team 4 is all present and accounted for. I'll be the captain and our name is "May the Fourth be with U".

[Melissa]

LOL Team 4!!! Love your team name!

[Anna]

I'm checking in. Had a family emergency so I ran behind on goodreads. Sorry to be late.

[Melissa]

Will have to wait till I wake up to find out the first selection :(

[JenniferJ]

I also love Team 4's name! Great Choice!

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Team 4, great name!!!

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Another hour to go

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

I know! It's 4:30 am here. I woke up with a headache. My allergies are killing me. Anyway, I figured I'd stalk around here waiting LOL

In other news, I emailed a principal about a kindergarten classroom and she wants to set up an interview!! Only problem is that she wanted to do it today and I'm a 9 hour drive away from there LOL I emailed her back and asked if we could set it up for Friday. Good grief!? What if I get it and she wants me to start Monday? I'd have to drive back home and get clothes and them drive back down. LOL I really hope I get it though. It would mean I'd get to move back to my hometown :)

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Wow that's a big move, 9 hours? Is it because of your mom?

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Yes. I don't like that she's alone now. I mean, she has her sisters, but I'm an only child and I want to be there with her :)

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Do you have to move your whole famiky? Are the girls coming with you? I hope you get the job :)

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Thanks! The whole family would not move. Hubs works out of town away from us in the first place. My youngest would come with me, while the 7th and 11th graders want to stay here cause of band and theater obligations. Hubs has started coming home every weekend cause he now gets 3 days a week off and our oldest, who's 21, lives here and would take care of them during the week. Honestly, I give the 7th grader a month and she will be with me LOL

[Elishia]

Aah I hope you get it. Bring some stuff with you just in case so you don't have to drive back. It amazes me how back the U.S is, I bet you could drive through the whole UK in that time.

Lol she probably will, she'll miss you.

[Lina]

New Song has been listed! Please check the Now Playing thread.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

That's a good idea, Elishia. I will bring some extra clothes with me. Then i wouldn't have to come back till the next weekend.

Yeah, Harley acts like she's very independent (and she is) but she's a momma's girl. She sleeps with me every other night :)

[Elishia]

She won't last long without you. I don't know what ages the grades are but she'll probably realise she can do her activities where you go.

[Elishia]

Woohoo I just finished a book so looking now for what I can read. My team will all be sleeping now :-(

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Harley is almost 13 and Lauren is 16. They're the ones who want to stay here. Mallory is 11(today is her birthday!) and she wants us to move even if I don't get the job LOL

[Elishia]

Happy birthday Mallory (I really like that name i'd never heard it before you then read it somewhere the other day). Yes she's still young enough to start over somewhere else.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Mallory says thank you! She woke up early to open her birthday presents LOL I told Harley that there's a school band there. She can bring her trumpet and play there. But I think she doesn't want to go cause she's in the high school marching band here (playing the xylaphone) and she figures a 7th grader wouldn't get that opportunity there.
