Hi team! Hi Sandra!! Off to work for me...

Wow, Ms Steph has been busy :)

Hi Everyone *waves*

Tenacious Terrors

I vote for D.G. :D

Hi Team!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm D.G., 36, married with no children. I also live in NYC.

I can be the Captain if you want. I have a spreadsheet ready from the last time.

I'll send a friend request to those that aren't my friend already!

LOL!

What about team names? I like something with Tentacles:
(but you are talking to somebody who used to be called Medusa by her friends.)

Deadly Tentacles
Crazy Tentacles
etc...if you can come up with other adjectives, feel free to add

Obviously though, anything with Tentacles needs to be nasty. No 'Sweet Tentacles', LOL!

Sadly we can't have twisted tentacles cause that was the winning team name for R6 Bingo.

Tickling Tentacles
Terror Tentacles
Tingling Tentacles

Oh that's true! Then maybe we should go with something else so as not to repeat ourselves and all that. :)

Well I do like the ten - tentacles thing.

Unless we work on Deka - ancient greek for 10 ie decade etc?????

Another good idea. :)

What about Tenacious? We could be

Tenacious Ten (sort of boring though)
Tenacious Hellions
Tenacious Flirts

Tenacious Terrors

*waves* Hi team!

I'm Steph Ann (I also answer to Steph). I'm 30, divorced, and live in Illinois with my two cats, one of whom likes nothing better than to try to play with my Kindle while I'm attempting to read. :)

D.G. gets my vote for captain!

As for names, I'm not creative at all (plus I haven't had caffeine in over a week thanks to a bout of the flu, so my brain just isn't functioning normally), but of the ones suggested so far, I like Crazy Tentacles, Tenacious Flirts, and Tenacious Terrors. :)

Oh that's a good one!

Not only are we terrifying but we keep at it, LOL!

Hi Team! I'm Nikita. 21 and I live in New Zealand.

D.G. also gets my vote for captain and I like Tenacious Terrors and Tenacious Flirts.

*waves to Steph Ann & Nikita*

Nikita you're just over the ditch from me :D

I'm Sandra, and I'm from Sydney, Aus, married, no kids, retired from work, living on 5 bush acres, and I love, no I need to read!!

DG for captain sounds good to me too!

I'm Lis, from Missouri but now live in Pennsylvania, married with 2 kids. I do Marketing by day and turn into chauffeur, cook, coach and mom after 5. We are in basketball season now so I keep my kindle charged and get an amazing amount of reading done during practices and activities.

Glad to see you survived work Lis :)

Any more ideas for names?

I like Tenacious Terrors

Could play off the "Fantasy" Fast and Fantastic

When I see all the Tentacle talk all I can think about is LKH's Meredith Gentry series and Lord Sholto and all his night flyer tentacles and the special things they can do...

I read one book in the Meredith Gentry series and it was enough for me. :D

I've got a couple of them but never tried 'em.

D.G. you need to post on the Q&A thread that you're the Captain :)

I remember reading a few Merry Gentry books and liking them. Then I got distracted by the many other books on my TBR pile, and at this point, I'd have to start over with book 1 to refresh my memory on the plot. I may get around to it some day. :)

I figure I'll post once we settle on the team name. :)

So here are the two most popular team names...Sandra which one do you vote for?

Tenacious Terrors (4 votes - D.G., Steph Ann, Nikita and Lis)
Tenacious Flirts (3 votes - D.G., Steph Ann, Nikita)

No need cause I'll do the name when we decide, but I can't edit Steph's post.

I vote for Terrors, more hard-core than flirts.

OK, I'll change the name then. LOL.

I just didn't want Steph to get in here twice but I forgot you could edit the post (duh!)

I'll post in the Q&A. :)

;)

Being the anal person that I am, I already picked several covers for each color, all from my TBR:

A(ce) = Red

2 = Blue

3 = Green

4 = Yellow

5 = Purple

6 = Orange

But I wouldn't be surprised if I end up picking something different that what's in there, LOL!

Love it. I haven't had time to do that yet, but I was gonna!! RL is a hassle at the moment, though hopefully next week will be better.

I created shelves for each color and have been going through my TBR list to put books on each shelf. :) I think purple is the one I'm having the hardest time with.

Yay! we have a team captain and a team name...

DG nice start with the cover search. There are a few I've read of your TBRs that were 4s and a 5.

I think it will be pretty easy to spin thru a kindle to color hunt. Only problem is making sure it has 200+ pages. For us USers will the reading start on Saturday? Just so I'll be time watching for the color selection I think this is going to be fun... Sandra it's kind of like your monthly challenges.

Yep, just weekly instead of monthly.

Sandra off book topic question... What is the weather like in Sydney end of July early August? Our school is featuring a educational trip in a couple of years for New Zealand, Australia, Fiji but our seasons are opposite and just curious how cool it is then.

I think my most difficult color so far is yellow. Now that I think of it, that Brainrush cover seems more orange than yellow.

Thankfully I'm in a classic mystery kick and some of the most popular authors have dozens of covers per book.

Here's a few yellows I spotted on my shelves

Here are a few of my yellow books

Lis, July is the middle of winter so in Sydney expect (from Bureau of Met):

avg 8C to 16C (46F to 61F) add a couple of degrees for August. Rainfall - 3 inches avg for both July & August, about 11 days for each month.

If you need anything else just give me a yell :)


And wow on the yellow covers - pretty sure I'm lacking that many yellow ones.

Where Dreams Begin is my FAVORITE book by Lisa Kleypas (and I've read like 20 of hers) and probably one of my favorite romances ever.

Does this look purple to anyone else, or am I crazy? It's quite possible it's the latter. :)

I'm trying to see what I have already loaded up on my Kindle ready to go.

Yup...purple.

D.G. ~Shameless Hussy~ wrote: "Yup...purple."

Glad it's not just me! :)

Thx Sandra :)

Yep, definitely purple, I've got the MMP :)

Hey ladies - Would you say this is yellow or orange? I'm sort of leaning towards orange but I don't know. ;)

I have to read this book for another team challenge I'm in but now I'm afraid that we'll get either orange or yellow so maybe I think I should wait until this afternoon to start it just in case. :)

I put it my currently reading shelf yesterday but didn't even read ONE page - was finishing an audiobook - so I'm good to go. Meanwhile, I'll just read one of the Ilona Andrews novellas. :)

I would say it's orange. That's what it looks like on my phone anyway. :)

I think I can make a better argument for orange.

★MARK THIS TIME★
The time is now 6:30a, Sunday JST. ;)

Team captains, you may now draw a card and get your team on the board. This week, each team will move on the board. From this week forward, however, in order for your team to move forward, all members must have read, rated and reviewed their book by this time (give or take) next week.
