Don't worry, the rafters aren't coming down on us quite yet.
We have our word for Round Two.
Who said something about Us.....?? :-P
Our word for Round Two is: Utility Repair Person
======
The mods have also prepared a little surprise for us all ;-)
As it often happens in life as well, everything happens at once. Disasters usually come in pairs at the very least, and so....
The Administrative Mini Challenge
The Gardening Mini Challenge
The Feeding the Family Mini challenge
All mini challenges start with the second round of the Boring Wheel. All of these mini challenges have various tasks, words to be found, special bonus words to be found, tags that are required, etc.. There is a variety so there should be something for everyone in there to find easily, or not quite so easily ;-)
Each book will count for the spell-out and one of the mini challenges!
Please read through all the details for each of these three mini challenges. Sammy and I will post about them in more detail, but do take your time to digest it all. And then.. let's have at it!
What will be key for each of these mini challenges is communication with the team! Since we have a lot of ground to cover and some of these are rather specific and might not pop up in every single read, it is essential that we are a little bit organised and don't all read books set in the same countries, for example. So please, speak up and let us know which tasks/tags/words you are going to read for.
Sammy and I will post regular updates in the thread so we all know where we're at. We will also track it all on the first page of the team thread and scribble notes on the team sheet so you can always at a glance see what is going on.
Questions? Give us a shout :-)
