FYI Vi won't be able to check in until Thursday.

Hi team! *waves* Looking forward to playing with you! Anyone volunteering to be captain?

Hi team! :-)

Hi everyone!
*waves*

Hi team! I am looking forward to playing. :)

Ideas for team names, anyone? :)
What time zones are you guys in? (= Who's awake when we can roll?)

I'm CE(S)T so midnight is 7 am here.

No idea about the name at the moment.

I'm in HST so we roll Thursday evening for me.

I'm in EET, so it's 8am for me.
Soo... who wants to be captain? :)

I'm not really feeling particularly creative at the moment, so the only thing that springs to mind as an idea for our team name is "Top Ten"...

Team 10-acious?

Hi team!! Sorry for the late check in but I was able to login just now. I'm on SGT which is UTC +8. I'll be awake during the roll.

A question: is the timezone CST or CDT? All timezone websites say daylight savings is in effect..

maria helena wrote: "Team 10-acious?"

Good one! :D I like it.

maria helena wrote: "Team 10-acious?"

I'm for it.

Vi we haven't had daylight savings, it won't be till November. Central is CST.

Y'all should nominate T to roll she's a high roller :)

Just FYI, I'll be travelling the next two weeks (Friday Sep 5 and 12). I wont have internet access all the time, so I might not check in super fast, but I'll make sure to get my reviews posted in time.

Jenne wrote: "Y'all should nominate T to roll she's a high roller :)"

Great, no pressure.

But no way I'm getting up at 7am to roll! :P

I can do the first roll tonight my time, if someone else can do the next two weeks when I'm out of town.

maria helena wrote: "I can do the first roll tonight my time, if someone else can do the next two weeks when I'm out of town."

Fine by me. So you'll be our captain? :D

If no one else wants to, I guess I can be.

maria helena wrote: "If no one else wants to, I guess I can be. "

Sounds good to me! We should make sure with Jenne that it's okay for someone other than the team captain to roll while you're out of town, though. :)

It shouldn't be a problem, as long as someone rolls and post the update in the correct thread.

We had different people roll our dice for my team during round 1.

Are everyone ok with Team 10-acious as our name?

Jenne wrote: "Vi we haven't had daylight savings, it won't be till November. Central is CST."

Actually, Jenne, we are currently IN daylight savings time - CDT. We'll go back to standard CST time on November 2, 2014.

Before next Friday, we need to read nr 9 in a series or a book with a green cover. Remember that for the alternative, at least 50% of the cover need to be green.


I will read

(nr 9 in a series).

Please check in with which book you will read so that we know that all team members have a book that qualifies.

I'll go with the alternate and read .

My choice - 9th in series

Even though I have 50+ series ongoing, I dint be a #9 book!!! I'll go with the alternate. I'll post my book choice tomorrow morning

Vi wrote: "Even though I have 50+ series ongoing, I dint be a #9 book!!! I'll go with the alternate. I'll post my book choice tomorrow morning"

50+ series? Wow.

I don't have a #9 book to be read, so I am going to read .

Next week we are most likely to end up on a spot with a 1 (except if we roll 11). Does everyone have a new series you want to start?

There is always new series to start. Problem is finishing it. :P

true :-)

50+ series? Wow."

I know. I realised the number only earlier when I organised my book shelf. Mostly they are trilogies and some are series that I don't want to continue.

Anyway, I'm thinking I'll go with . It works for one another challenge too.

That's always nice.

The Memory of Lost Senses by Judith Kinghorn (Alternate: Green Cover)
Finished: 31 August 2014
Rating: ****

Review:
Having enjoyed the author's debut novel The Last Summer very much, I sincerely hoped this one would prove equally good. Suffice it to say, I was not disappointed: Set partially in 1911 and partially in 1923, this mystery-filled historical novel offers an enthralling, melancholic story of love, intrigue, relationships, memory and the thin line between lies and truth. As the story slowly unfolds, I found myself drawn deeper and deeper into the world of these characters and the absolutely beautiful writing style was truly a pleasure to read.

Hello team!

Who can take my place as captain this week and next (since I'll be traveling and might not have super reliable internet connection)?

Someone need to:
1) Make a post with links to everybody's reviews (similar to what I did in post #30).

2) Roll 2 dice on Friday but only once everyone have posted their reviews from this week. Remember that if someone isn't done by Friday, we'll have to wait until next Friday to roll.

3) Post a link to the post from #1 plus what our roll was and what our new spot is in this thread.

4) Tell the rest of the team what spot we're in so that everyone can pick new books.

Let me know if anything is unclear.


In case everyone have posted their reviews before I leave, I can do #1 on Thursday morning. I'll be back in the US on Sep 15.

I can do it if you guys don't mind that I'll be rolling a couple of hours after we're allowed. :)

I finished my book!

Review:

I had only read one other book by Jojo Moyes, Me Before You. I loved it until the very end and hated the ending. So I was nervous to read this new one. Luckily, I loved the middle and the ending in this one. The characters were quirky but by the end I really enjoyed them. I was invested in their lives and struggles and had a hard time putting the book down.

ROLL #1, SPOT #9

Book: Blood Game by Iris Johansen
Series: Eve Duncan #9
Date finished: September 2, 2014
Rating: ★★��
Review: Eve Duncan and Joe Quinn is once again trying to catch a serial killer who might be involved in the abduction and murder of Eve's daughter Bonnie. I've been reading this series out of order which is a bit confusing, and I thought this one was a bit slow.

Review: A good contemporary YA. It's a message sort of series but it does not overwhelm the story. I liked Ruby Oliver, liked the way the book was made. I'll continue the series but not immediately.

Spot 9



Book: The Arrow by Monica McCarty

Review:
Kinda disappointed. But only because I didn't like heroine. She was in love with the hero since he got her out of the well when she was fifteen. But from beginning she's lying to him. She gave him wrong name (because she didn't want him to know who's her father) and left him believing she's younger than she is. Then 5 years later she decides he should marry her. Hero is known as most handsome man in Scotland and women trow themselves at him. So what does heroine decide to do to win him? Yep, trow herself at him at every opportunity. There are also orphan children she took in because someone told her they are his (they are not!) and she believes that hero only needs to spend some time with kids and he'll change his mind about being their real father.
Yeah, I really didn't like her. ��

(Couldn't edit maria helena's post for week 1, so I had to re-do it. XD)
