Christal | 374 comments Hi guys! I'm excited to start this one too. :)


message 5: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments Hello teamies! This should be fun :)


★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ô★ (starinheaven) | 541 comments Yeah!! Hi teamies! I am super excited for this. I will not be the captain this time. Work is a little crazy right now. I am just at the point where I think I can finish a book a week.


message 7: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments I am not consistent with getting online on Sundays. The family usually wants/needs my full attention that day lol. I probably wouldn't make for a good cap either. I'm more than happy to help the cap though if needed.

Any name ideas?
Here's a couple that I thought of

Ones to Win
5 for 1
ONEderful Fantasy


message 8: by Daffodil (new)

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments Hi everyone.

I don't have internet access at home. I usually get on at work or when I'm at my friend's house on weekends. Since possible snowfall means I'm never quite sure if I'm going to be able to get over there, I can't guarantee I'll have Sunday (or late Saturday here in the US) access either.

I'm not feeling name creative at the moment, fighting a major headache, but maybe something will come to me later.

Can't wait to start. I started sorting my tbr into cover color shelves and I don't have a whole lot of purple. In fact, I started to pick up Angels' Flight (Angels' Pawn #0.5, Angels' Judgment #1.5, Angel's Wolf #4.5, Angels' Dance #4.75) by Nalini Singh Monday and put it back down because I wanted to save it just in case. LOL.


message 9: by Christal (new)

Christal | 374 comments I could do the captain thing, but I usually sleep in on Sundays (my only day!) so the color wouldn't get posted right away. It would be up by midday Texas time though.

I'll try to think of some names today; I'm drawing a blank right now. I do like Ones to Win and Onederful Fantasy though!


message 10: by Daffodil (last edited Jan 23, 2013 10:04AM) (new)

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments I'm okay with that Christal. Although, during the Bingo game, Sunday Steph's time usually worked out to 8-ish Saturday evening Illinois time. I think Texas is in the Central zone also and it would work out the same for you. ... Of course, I'm assuming everyone will be using Steph's definition of Sunday.


message 11: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments That's a good question is it Sunday Japan time or US?


message 12: by Christal (new)

Christal | 374 comments I was looking through all the threads and it doesn't look like Steph has defined "Sunday" yet, but there is a place in one of the threads for it.

Just looking at some fantasy books for inspiration:
Ready Player One
One Foot in the Grave


Fantastical Oneders
One to Grow On
One Way or Another
One for All
All for One
Another One Bites the Dust
In One Ear
One Fine Day
One Step Closer
One More Chance
First to Finish
First to Score
Once More With Feeling
One for the Books
The Plus Ones

There's a movie called "Ichi the Killer" and ichi means one in japanese so we could do Ichi the Book Killers. I know, I'm reaching with that one lol.


★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ô★ (starinheaven) | 541 comments I really like Another One Bites the Dust.

When we were doing Bingo Steph would usually post the next shelf at around 4p Mountain Time so Central Time would be Saturday 5p.

I will try to think of a couple of names...thinking brain not on very well right now. Trying to finish at least 3 books this week.


message 14: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments I like another one bites the dust too, I'm gonna ask Steph in the question thread about the time zones.


message 15: by Belinda (new)

Belinda | 801 comments I like another one bites the dust too.

I can be captain - I'm in Australia which is roughly the se time one as Japan. I can be online early each Sunday unless I score an early on a Sunday but the roster looks good til mid-march so far :)


★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ô★ (starinheaven) | 541 comments I am okay with either Belinda or Christal being captain.


message 17: by Christal (new)

Christal | 374 comments You can take it Belinda. :)


message 18: by Belinda (new)

Belinda | 801 comments No worries christal :P if everyone else is happy?


message 19: by ★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ôâ˜� (last edited Jan 23, 2013 12:00PM) (new)

★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ô★ (starinheaven) | 541 comments Haha! Just for giggles I "pulled" a card to see what I would get and I got a King...which was a book which would basically put us at the top of the board on day one...

:)


message 20: by Belinda (new)

Belinda | 801 comments Wait! Scrap that!! I vote Meghan if she's getting cards like that!!! Lol


message 21: by ★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ôâ˜� (last edited Jan 23, 2013 12:11PM) (new)

★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ô★ (starinheaven) | 541 comments Won't work...Can't do it with work as crazy as it is right now.

All right so I just picked a couple of books that I can pick up for Sunday. Let me know if you guys agree with the colors.

Blue: Divine By Mistake (Partholon, #1) by P.C. Cast
Red: Halflings (Halflings, #1) by Heather Burch
Green: The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) by Rick Riordan
Yellow: Sphinx's Princess (Sphinx's Princess, #1) by Esther M. Friesner
Purple: Unearthly (Unearthly, #1) by Cynthia Hand (or is this too blue? Backup: Evermore (The Immortals, #1) by Alyson Noel )
Orange: I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies, #1) by Pittacus Lore
Wild Cards: The Ghost and the Goth (The Ghost and the Goth, #1) by Stacey Kade


message 22: by Christal (new)

Christal | 374 comments I think Unearthly would qualify for purple Meghan. The Goth book would probably work for blue too.


message 23: by ★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ôâ˜� (last edited Jan 23, 2013 04:15PM) (new)

I have lots of blue books so I am not worried about that. I am mostly focusing on trying to finish books that will fit into other challenges as well.

All right time to work on a book for another team challenge. Which shouldn't interfere too much as it will be done a couple weeks into this one. So only a couple weeks of craziness.

Looks like we just need a vote from Daffodil for Another One Bites the Dust.


message 24: by Belinda (last edited Jan 24, 2013 02:08AM) (new)

Belinda | 801 comments As soon as we hear back from daffodil I'll let steph know our name and unless anyone has objections I'll also let the mods know I'm captain & set up a spreadsheet to organise each round. Here's hoping for a good draw Sunday!

Any suggestions for green covers? Running a little low on those..


message 25: by Christal (new)

Christal | 374 comments If you read the Charley Davidson series, this would be perfect for green.
Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet (Charley Davidson, #4) by Darynda Jones

A few other possibilities I caught going through my books:
Splintered by A.G. Howard An Apple for the Creature by Charlaine Harris Kill the Dead (Sandman Slim, #2) by Richard Kadrey Two Ravens and One Crow (The Iron Druid Chronicles #4.5) by Kevin Hearne Insurgent (Divergent, #2) by Veronica Roth All Spell Breaks Loose (Raine Benares, #6) by Lisa Shearin Thirteen (Women of the Otherworld, #13) by Kelley Armstrong Phoenix Rising (Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences #1) by Philippa Ballantine Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1) by Kristin Cashore Tempest's Fury (Jane True, #5) by Nicole Peeler Tempest's Legacy (Jane True, #3) by Nicole Peeler Green-Eyed Demon (Sabina Kane, #3) by Jaye Wells Magic Study (Study, #2) by Maria V. Snyder Proven Guilty (The Dresden Files, #8) by Jim Butcher


message 26: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments Orange is a tough one too. And so many covers aren't just one color. Steph did say it was ok to use other versions to so it would be wise to check and see if something has a different cover.


message 27: by Daffodil (new)

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments Another One Bites the Dust is good for me!


★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ô★ (starinheaven) | 541 comments Anyone can look at some of the covers I have in my shelves. I am setting up some shelves with covers for different colors. They are all under SOS then the color so it shouldn't be hard to find.

They are not all fantasy books, but I figured if I couldn't find anything fantasy at least I would have some backups. It doesn't look like I will really need that though :)


message 29: by Belinda (new)

Belinda | 801 comments Thanks Meghan. Christal - I'll post what I have In orange for you shortly.


message 30: by Belinda (new)

Belinda | 801 comments Ack! Meghan - your lists are amazing!!


message 31: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments Is there a rule against team mates reading the same book on a given week?
BTW Belinda draw us a good one :)


message 32: by Belinda (new)

Belinda | 801 comments No jenne. It's completely your choice what you read depending on what books you have avail on your shelves. So long as it fits with the colour and is over 200 pages - all food:)

Here's hoping for a good card draw this morning *fingers crossed*


★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ô★ (starinheaven) | 541 comments Belinda wrote: "Ack! Meghan - your lists are amazing!!"

I hope you found some books on there to help you though. I know my TBR list can be a little intense.


message 34: by Belinda (new)

Belinda | 801 comments Ok ladies! Week one's card is:



*drumroll*




*fanfair, trumpets*




5 of diamonds!

This means we're reading purple . on space no 5. Will update officially after some sleep.....


message 35: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments Woohoo

Steph (angel4492) | 32399 comments ★MARK THIS TIME�
The time is now 6:30a, Sunday JST. ;)

Let's Play!
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.

HG

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments Do y'all think this is purple enough Dead Girls Are Easy (Nicki Styx, #1) by Terri Garey


message 38: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32399 comments Definitely! :)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments Thanks Steph!

Steph (angel4492) | 32399 comments You're welcome :)


message 42: by Belinda (new)

Belinda | 801 comments That looks purple enough to me Jenne.

Don't forget to check in and let me know what you've chosen this week.

I'll be reading hunting ground by Patricia Briggs


message 43: by Daffodil (last edited Jan 26, 2013 06:21PM) (new)

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments Steel's Edge (The Edge, #4) by Ilona Andrews Do you think the sea and sky have enough purple to qualify this book?


message 44: by Belinda (new)

Belinda | 801 comments I think so. I have a few similar ones that are not a full cover in a certain colour


message 45: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25775 comments Yes, Daffodil :)


message 46: by Daffodil (new)

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments Thanks for the speedy answers! I will be reading Steel's Edge for the purple space.


★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ô★ (starinheaven) | 541 comments I will be reading Unearthly (Unearthly, #1) by Cynthia Hand


message 48: by Christal (new)

Christal | 374 comments I think I'll re-read Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #1) by Laurell K. Hamilton . It's been years since I've read it.


message 49: by Christal (new)

Christal | 374 comments I just finished the Penton Legacy series and it was a really great, lesser-known paranormal romance. The covers are perfect for this challenge though... red, blue, and green!

Redemption (Penton Legacy, #1) by Susannah Sandlin Absolution (Penton Legacy, #2) by Susannah Sandlin Omega (Penton Legacy, #3) by Susannah Sandlin


message 50: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments I'm 20% in to my book and am pleasantly surprised with it :)
