Have you guys got anything lined up yet?

Tati wrote: "Have you guys got anything lined up yet?"

For which books to read?

Yeah

No, I haven't. I was wondering if anyone has done a Jumanji challenge before? Should we just sign up for which ones we want, first come first serve? And then assign the rest, the unchosen ones, taking turns & trying to keep it even amongst us? And if two or more people want to do the same one, we can do something on random.org to chose the person who gets it?

Or are there other ideas on how to divy these up?

This is the first Jumanji challenge ever in this group.

I'd particularly step up your random.org idea and just use it to distribute everything, make it more fair than first come, first served (I mean, we do have different time zones, for one)

I agree. I think we should try the random.org. I mean worst case we have to shuffle around after, but we should at least try the random first.

Ok that's two votes for random.org to assign all the books.. Let's see, what does Jessica & Berta say? I don't care either way so I'll vote if it's two against two :)

I also posted in the Team Progress thread to keep an official log of who is reading what. If we do go with the random.org idea I'll do it for all four parts of the game & post it there.

Awesome!

Just one little thing girls, you might want to consider when you're allocating each of the descriptions, that some people will read a lot more than others, so one person may be able to read 40 books, whilst someone else may only read 10 ☺

I can commit to reading 10-12 books. What can everyone else commit to? I'll use that to help me divy up, if we go the random.org route, to give the bigger readers more books. Like Bookbuyer said, we can shuffle around afterwards to fit needs/wants accordingly :D

I can read about 5-10. But those would likely be long books. About 400-600 pages.

I can commit to at least 10, it's hard to pin down the number because of work, though

I've already started finding some books I can read for any of the books for the first challenge. So far the only one I don't have any for is the one for Soil/Box.

Have you read or or or or even ?

Tati wrote: "Have you read or or or or even ?"

O.O TY! I have Partials, so that should work for Soil! :)

You're welcome!

I'm in.
I have no clue what I'm going to read yet...but I'll hopefully post a potential list by Wednesday this week.

Jessica, Are you okay with assigning the categories by using random.org? If so, we can use what I posed on our Team Progress thread, which was assigned by using random.org & like Bookbuyer said, we can shuffle around as needed.

For example, just post here if you need to trade or give up a category for any reason such as, you are reading too many books, you really dispise the category, you can't find anything you want to spend your time reading after thoroughly looking, etc. and we will work it out!

Tati wrote: "Have you read or or or or even ?"

Using random.org, I was assigned this category! My parents gave me The Martian last summer as a birthday gift and I haven't been able to read it, so since I own it, that's probably what I'll read. Thank you for the great suggestions, Tati!

Now that I know which descriptions I'll have to read, off to Listopia!

And, girls, if anyone is struggling either to finish their assigned description or a book, just let us know and we'll help!

Danielle, The Martian was a different read for me, but I enjoyed it!

Tati wrote: "Danielle, The Martian was a different read for me, but I enjoyed it!"

Ok great, thanks! Hopefully I will too!!

Here's a free book that fulfills the "hunt" category, which is Part 3 #3 & belongs to Bookbuyer.. It's a free book, you just have to review it when you're done. You may have to join the goodreads group, too.

Awesome!!! I own The Lying Game and have been meaning to read it!! I'm trying to pick out my books now :) & Before I Fall is a great choice for bullying. I read it not long ago and it was good. The main character definitely bullied some less popular girls in that book.

Thanks I just found that list. I have the Golden Compass so I'm going to read that. ^-^

It was a nice book! I read it years ago, and really enjoyed it!

We still haven't heard from Jessica, right?

Right, and Berta hasn't shown up either

I meant Berta, I saw Jeasica's post above (can't edit comments from the iPhone app!), we still haven't heard from Berta, right?

Jessica commented above :)

Oh, right, her comment got lost LOL

Hey Jessica!! Are you okay with what you've been assigned to? You can view the assignments on our Team N Progress thread. Please confirm this isn't too many books for you, as well, because Tati, Bookbuyer, and myself are all big readers and can take more.

Oh, looks like we've gained someone!! Ubha has been added to our list above. Ubha, please comment & let us know you're here & committed & I will redistribute some assignments, unless you'd like to jump into reading for Part 4, books whose titles begin with J, U, M, A, N, J, and I!

We're still waiting to hear from you too, Berta! :)

hm, there is Anne Rice, though her books are long-ish. And there is also or or

REMEMBER TO CHECK BRs, GBRs, and BR&Rs!! More points!! :D

Here's what I'm thinking:
Soil on Cover:
Boarding School: buddy read!
House on the Cover:
Horror Story: buddy read!
GBR/BR/BR&R: group buddy read!
Title Beginning w/ a Teammates's First Initial: for Ubah

you can use mine, T, LOL

Tati wrote: "you can use mine, T, LOL"

I can use anyone's initial; that gives me the options: D, T, J, B, U & whatever Bookbuyer's real initial is, if she wants to share! We have a B, for Berta, that's why I thought I'd ask Bookbuyer, if she shares, it may give me one more option to choose from! :)

Although Under the Never Sky is a June Buddy Read, I think! But we haven't heard from Ubah yet.

My first initial is A so you can use that. And no one else has an A either so it works out nicely :)
