Hey Ozana & Jen

Can t' wait to have you both join us!

Hello my new Team members. I am Ozana from Europe,Croatia,45 years. My hobies are reading whenever I can,good tv shows and lately started Ashtanga yoga in my old age.
I mostly enjoy reading since I was 5 until today. I just love wolds writers creating for us,like you are in the best movie storie created in mind.

I check out in the morning since is now 4 am.
Glad that I made it to challenge and to Team!😊

We are happy to have you! Good night!

Good night!

Hi all! I'm Jen, disabled and living in Tucson, Arizona, U.S.A., with my mother and puppy-son/service dog. I mostly read, although not for as much as you'd think I could given that I am unable to work. But when not reading, I wish I was reading!

I read mostly Urban Fantasy books, with some Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Romantic Suspense, Romantic Comedy, etc., thrown in. About the only genre I am unwilling to read is the Western genre, although I am open to Westerns if they're Weird!

So. . . What do you need from me? I'll look back to page one of this thread to see if there's anything I should maybe be doing.

Welcome Jen!

Welcome!!

Welcome to the team!! Glad to be playing with you again Ozana!!

Please welcome your new team member:

• Maddison

Hello guys :D

Welcome Maddison!! So happy to have you join us. I'm going to send you a friend request, please accept.
Pigletto or I (co captains of the team) will send you an invite to our secret group where all our play is.
Again so happy to have you join us.

thanks :) I signed up initially too but it seems my signup form didn't submit or something and I wasn't on the spreadsheet which made me rewlly annoyed. so pleased I was picked for replacement

I feel like I'll get confused with what's going on xD

I just sent the friend request. No need to worry we will help you. I need a computer to send you an invite to our secret group( sorry it may take a while as I have a busy work morning scheduled )

Maddison, can you make a cut throat shelf ?

That's totally fine :)

And yeahp I'll make it now.

Do I need to have books on there? It's just called cutthroat.

Yes, but not yet. After you read a book that fits for one of the many tasks we have then you can add it to your shelf.
We just started Round 3 of our challenge last night ( depending on time zone ) We have to try and read as many of the tasks as we can in the next two weeks. In our secret group where we discuss and strategize you will find all our our information.

I sent you an invite to that group. Lori ( Pigletto ) is our other co -captain. Feel free to ask us anything so we can help you navigate. Everyone on the team is good to help out if Lori and I aren't around.

Thank you :D So we as a group talk about who's reading what tasks? Or is it first come first serve?

First come first serve!

Alright. How long do we have to read the books we claim?

This round ends in 2 weeks. So hopefully you can squeeze in as many tasks as you can in the two weeks-:)

No pressure, we all read at different paces. Some teamies are daily readers, every couple of days or weekend readers like me.

Okay thanks.

A question: Since I unfortunately didn't get the books I finished while Round 2 was live into Goodreads until after Round 2 closed (Sorry, All!), should I look at the Round 3 tasks to see if they'll count for any there? Or. . . ???

Thanks! I'm a little confused as to what's going on. But I saw somewhere that Round 3 tasks were shared, so I'll go have a look at them to see if I can figure out what to read next. :-)

Jen - Yes! Please look at round 3 goals - you can claim up to 3 to commit to on the spreadsheet - the link is somewhere around here, anyone have it handy? I usually just read and then find a goal that matches, up to you

UPDATE to previous comment: I saw Pigletto's comment that the books read during the rounds can only count for the rounds in which they're finished, so I guess I'll just see if I can find that listing of the Round 3 tasks again and figure out what I can read to help.

Top of books read thread-:)

Anything you started before the end of round 2 and haven't finished yet can count too, you just can't count what you finished before the end of round 2

does that make sense?

Thanks Rachel! I did say you were all very helpful!! I will leave Jen in your capable hands! The dog is waiting for her walk!

Thanks Shannon!!

I can't find the link to the secret group again.. I forgot to save it. I just finished a book, so need to update XD Someone mind PMing me?

Thanks we are having fun bidding on these sabotages.

Team Amoracchius

We have received a challenge and you have been fined $300 for using Moonrise for the category: Read a book with a single body part on the cover. This edition features the entire face of a cat.

Yeah isn't a head a body part? XD

Yeah I agree with Maddison. A head is a body part, right?!

otherwise if I was to count a hand, say, would that not count either because there are fingers attacked? Or a foot, toes?
