Hi team, I'm ready for this challenge! I have a spreadsheet made so we can keep track our progress for each part and the books we are reading.

Yay! I'm glad to know that at least one of my team members is organized lol

So I know not everyone has checked in yet, but I was thinking that we would start out with everyone picking 5 descriptions, and then what's left over could be picked up by anyone who finishes up with those 5 other books?

The last time I did this was as the Jumanji challenge, and my team didn't really make a plan. We just kinda read whatever and matched it to a description and it didn't really work out too well

Hey guys, this is actually my first serious challenge, but I have a list of books I'm planning to read :)

I'm so ready for this! I like the idea of picking challenges ahead of time, that makes it much easier to stay on track i think

What's involved in this challenge?

I know we're still waiting on Aly, but I think we should start figuring out who is going to do which decription

How do we log the books that we have read as part of this challenge?

Kristal wrote: "Sarah wrote: "Kristal wrote: "What's involved in this challenge?"

Sarah has to put you on a team and then you use the team's review thread. But you have to comment on the main thread to be able to get a team

I'm here! :) looking forward to this challenge!!

Okay awesome everyone has checked in! Now it's time to figure who is doing what :)

Sorry that I was a little later than everyone! The last few days have been crazy!!

Better late than never lol

The teams have only been posted for 24 hours :(

So I took some time this morning to go through the different prompts and fit books I own to them--I have quite a few I can do, so I'll work around what everyone else chooses. :D

The only one that I for sure want dibs one is one of the E's in FOREVER. I have to read Ender's Game for my Lit class this month, so I might as well get points for it on here lol

Hahaha awesome--also I hope you enjoy it! That book broke me so hard.

I am putting books down for the categories I have on my spreadsheet. Here is the spreadsheet.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

You can add your books on as well. I found out I have many books that I need to read that fit the categories and I made a round 2, 3, and 4 as well for when we first round 1.

Okay, awesome--thanks!

Alright, all the ones I came up with this morning have been entered in! I came up with a lot, so we can move them around through the different rounds as needed when everyone else checks in and whatnot. :D So exciting!

None of us can read the same books, right?

Actually, we can read the same books. :D

Taken from the sign up/questions thread:

Sarah, Could you please clarify a question on the Team Dahlia - Chat board?

"Lu wrote: "Hi team! I'm new to this so I may need some help: Does anyone know if we can use the same book for different descriptions?"

TJ wrote: "This is my first challenge of this sort as well, but from the rules, I deduct that each person can only use each book once, but more than one person can read the same book. What I'm unclear on is whether different people can use the same book for different categories -- I assume so. (For example, can I use "Devil and the Bluebird" for "26. something music related on the cover" and another team member use it for "7. a blue book (either a book with a blue cover on goodreads, or with 'blue' in the title)?" I will check. "

Sarah wrote: That's correct ☺

I will look into what I would like to read..

Ok thanks Elizabeth :)

Cami wrote: "Ok thanks Elizabeth :)"

You're welcome!

I have added my books on there as well

great job! I think we can do good in this challenge because we have books for each category that we have.

Everything looks really good. All that's really left is to make sure nobody is going for the same description at the same time so we have a better chance of getting those bonus points sooner

Yep so I will do 1, 19, 23, 28, and the F of FOREVER first, and I will see if any of my R2R are usable for the second round.

Does count as jewellery? I'm not sure because it's on a chain, and it kind of acts as a necklace, but it may not be that obvious.

That would be fine for jewellery ☺

Sarah wrote: "That would be fine for jewellery ☺"

Ok thanks :)

I'll do 6, 7, 15, 21, and one of the E's in forever

I'll do 2, 4, 9, 10, and the O in forever

I'll do 3, 8, 16, 25 and 30.

I'll do 5,11,13,20, and 26

I wish it was February already so we could start. I love challenges like this

Katrina wrote: "I wish it was February already so we could start. I love challenges like this"

Haha right?! They help keep me motivated with my reading, for sure.

It also helps me to pick what books I'm going to read. I want to read so many that it gets really hard to choose sometimes, so these challenges are really helpful lol

Hi, Jamie--you got a notification for the team challenge and are wanting to sign up if you still can, correct? I think if you head over to this thread here:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

you'll find all the information you need and be able to talk to someone about getting put into a team. :)

We do have spaces left if you want to join ☺

I am still looking into finding some reading buddies. I am trying to get more points! :)

I have added all my books in (even though I may end up moving a few around). It has been hard finding a buddy for some of the books that I am looking at, but I should be fine..

Aly wrote: "I have added all my books in (even though I may end up moving a few around). It has been hard finding a buddy for some of the books that I am looking at, but I should be fine.."

I've had to shuffle a few around already, myself. XD

And I know what you mean--finding buddies for the books I want to read has proved difficult, which...sort of stinks, but ah well.

Haha, right?! It's cool--I read really weird books, so I expected to have trouble finding buddies.
