This is me checking in! Hello team :)

Hi Teammates,
Played this game few times before and I read mostly mm genre.

No to captain.

Hey Team!

Hi team! Anyone clever with coming up with team names?

Oooh, that's a good point. I'm rubbish with puns regarding numbers, if anyone else wants to go for one, that's fine. Otherwise I could suggest some random group names?

Hi Ora!!

I think everyone else here is new to me. Nice to meet you all :D

Hi Team.

Good morning Shy! Welcome.

Did anyone want to be captain?

Not me, I tend to be in the wrong time zone for it between sleep and work. I don't mind rolling dice though.

Hey Nicole and Shy! Nice to meet everyone else.

I have no idea with team names. Do we want to do a play on numbers or something to do with books, games or something completely different?

Off the top of my head the only name I can think of is one I used for London Calling in the amazing race, the Bookaneers.

I would prefer not being team captain.

The Funky Town Monkey Nine
Reading Trees to 100/Reading Trees to Win
Master Nine
The Y-Nots!
Blazing Bubble Butt Busters
Golden Eagles
Golden Niners
Nine Hit Wonders

I can be captain. I have done it before so its cool.

I like Nine Hit Wonders.

I like Nine Hit Wonders too

vote for Nine Hit Wonders

Nine hit wonders is good for me :)

I finally got off work, and I see we have a name! I like it!

Hi Everyone!! Just checking in. I think I recognize one person from other challenges but everyone else is new to me. I am looking forward to this challenge as I have not tried this one yet.

Nine Hit Wonders sounds like a good team name.

Ok well I see out name was already changed so I wont report it.

or you could click on the Countdown link in Post 2 for exact time

Oh my god you're amazing. Thanks for pointing that out!

It doesn't look like Rosina ever checked in. Anyone heard from her?

I haven't. Anyone friends with her?

I just sent Rosina a message to let her know teams have been posted and also sent a link

Rosina informed she is on team 3. I asked Ezi if we could get a back up player added to our team.

Hello :) New member to the team.

Sorry, that was my error to have Rossina on two teams. Luckily, we have Maddison to join you. I will pm her to join you all.

Again. apologies

Why do I feel like the first week will be the hardest :p

Well first two. I may have to read the 9th book in a series!

Maddison wrote: "Well first two. I may have to read the 9th book in a series!"

hey, you have alternatives to choose from too

Yeah that's true, but I feel like reading a book in California might be harder, considering books rarely say where they're situated.

When's the first roll? And do we all roll seperately, or do we all need to read the same spot on the board?

Hey Madison!
I have to double check when the first roll is. It should be next week. The captain will roll for us, whatever it lands will tell us what our task is.

first roll is in 57 mins. See countdown clock in post 2

Alright cool :) So we'll each get seperate tasks, or we all have the same one?

Also, how do we review a book? I've never been 100% sure.

Oh right! So that's soon :) And I'm guessing I can't count a book that I started before I joined this?

We will have the same task.

Welcome Maddison! You joined us just in time!

Maddison wrote: "Alright cool :) So we'll each get seperate tasks, or we all have the same one?

There is a sample of a post with a review in the How to Play thread. You can ask questions there too.

Alright thanks Ora :)

And I'm glad I did too :) Just hope I can keep up, because I'll need to request books from the library and they may not come in :/ If that's the case, I'm really sorry. I've got quite a collection of my own books to choose from either way.

We're the only team who hasn't rolled yet :/

Sorry I thought it was next week to start too. I'm not by my computer. Could someone else roll please?

Sure, but I'm not sure what to do after that.

We got 5+2=7 :)

I posted on our spot :)
