❶İձ❶ (ttea) | 9616 comments Hi Danielle.
Welcome to the Hobbits (I refuse to be a Gibbon �) (especially since it's my fault we got Hobbit in our name :P)

Don't worry this challenge should be easy one. All you need is to read books. You can do that, right? :D

If you have any questions feel free to ask. We'll do our best to answer them.


message 13: by ✿~ٲԾ� (new)

✿~ٲԾ✿ (dmh1) | 5507 comments Yep, reading books I can do.

Being a Hobbit is better lol.

❶İձ❶ (ttea) | 9616 comments Yeah, I was in Hobbit team in one of NBRC challenges (*waves to fellow Hobbit Jordan*) and it got stuck (and it doesn't really help I'm LotR fan :P).
Don't let others scare you, we were very good. I have no idea why Mods think we were troublemakers. :P I mean there is no proof it was us who sneaked into Mod's team and borrow few books. Those crumbs could be left by anyone. :D

That's great one!
*wipes cacao from screen*

How come you caught only 'hobbit' on the camera? (that's definitely not my good side!) As I remember someone else was there too. And I'm sure he's not wearing invisible cloak.

*takes note to ask Gandalf for few spells*


Sonia wrote: "Those were Hobbit feet!"

How could you tell with all those cadets and minions walking around?


message 23: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Because cadets and minions wear shoes/boots.


message 24: by Karla (new)

Karla Hi Danielle, Audrey, and Tea! We just have three more people to sign in to team Bad Gibbon. If they haven't checked in by tomorrow, I'll send them a message.

This is my third time being a team captain, and I don't know how many times being in team challenges. So, don't worry if this is your first time. It'll be fun!

I've reserved the first few spaces to keep track of our words, so we don't have to hunt through to find our progress.


message 25: by Jordan (new)

Jordan I'm here:) Can't wait to be part of the team. Currently in the middle of 2 longer books right now (one being Anna Karenina) so I will try to step it up so I have something to contribute each week! Hobbit to Gibbon huh? Some day we'll be something cuter:)


message 26: by Karla (last edited Jul 11, 2014 04:10PM) (new)

Karla I thought I saw a post from Tea asking me about our plan, but now I don't see it!

Anyway, we are going to get our first genre sometime today. As long as we finish our books after the times listed below, we can count them for this week.

Sundays noon Australia EST
Saturday 9pm USA East Coast

I'm going to ask everyone to please claim a post on the first page of this thread. Then list all of the books you plan on reading for the week. Please include a link to the book and the main characters' names. When you finish the book, please put the finish date. This way, I can find the books read easily. Thanks!

No problem.

We are waiting for the genre to be posted. I added the book that I am currently reading to my list because I have to finish it by Sunday, for another challenge. I don't know if it will work for this one yet, but I wanted to list it just in case.

Karla Tea, I've never had a co-captain, so I'm not sure what that means. I have added the links to everyone's (except Catherine's because I couldn't find hers) wheel-a-thon shelf and will add the link to everyone's post. If you would be willing to help me check the books read to make sure they fit the qualifications, that would be great.

Yeah, sorry about that. Wasn't sure if you want to discus strategy here so I deleted it.

I actually rarely plan upfront what I'm going to read or even if I do, I rarely actually read them (that's why I gave up on BR)

Co-captains usually step in when captain can't do something. (just slap me over my fingers if I become too eager :P)
