Team name suggestion: The Finders

Perhaps: 4tune Finders. I like it when our team number is embedded in our name.

4Tune Hunters? Couldn't resist. Just spying!

Almeta, I had considered that. I think I might prefer 4tune Seekers. Less bad connotations.

Guess you are right!☻

Hi Teamies. I'll be home tomorrow night and can possibly start gophering then. It looks like a fun Toppler.

I tried to do that too, but could not let my mind go far enough! Perfect!

I have been gophering through my ebook titles. Most of the book are too long to really fit. I have a sack of books from my daughter to go through, and my real life bookshelf covers to go through.
So far, I have for hat. which could be hat or chair. Which jumps out? It is a little long though.
I have for hands,
for gun, for sword,
for dog,
for umbrella, or for tree

I'm home but I don't have much energy. I'll maybe do some preliminary gophering once I catch up on reading the threads.

Headed to the library after work today to do some gophering! I've been trying to read for awhile now, so this might be a good time to start over and finish it!
Does it matter if we read the same book as someone else on the team?

Laura, different team members can read the same book.

I am having trouble finding books I want to read for this one. Looking, I've realized that cozy mysteries tend to have cluttered covers, and literary novels tend to have more abstract covers. So far I have for bird. I'll keep looking. There are always cat books.

Hi Laura - I listened to this book on audio last week and thought it was an interesting story. The audio was very good and it was pretty short.

Caceil - I know what you mean. My first book will probably be because I can use it for my ZZ challenge. I am not sure about the rest fitting. I think I have used up all of the slots that they will fit on. will be a re-read, but I love it! My daughter sent me four ebooks that I have to download from my email. for dragon, for eye, looks like for the bicycle - but it screams more for flowers to me, and for the dog.

Hi team! I’ll start gophering later today, since my house has not yet learned how to clean itself :)

Liz, if you figure out how to get it to clean itself, let me know please! My husband has been travelling for work, so I'm on my own with the chores. It's crazy how much of a mess 3 dogs and a lazy roommate can make in a week!

I have Practical Magic as a possibility for my challenge read. It would fit for "shoe":
.

It's short enough too - 289 pages. Woot!

I downloaded last night. I will listen to it as my audiobook entry for the toppler.

Does anyone want to take on the role of scorekeeper? It should be fairly straight forward this time. I don't think we even need a spreadsheet, just a running total since it's a simple calculation - 10 points per book.

Also, have all our team members checked in? Casceil, could you edit message 1 and put the names of the members of our team?

Thanks. :)

I've gophered and now it's just a matter of narrowing down which books I want to read. I think I can do 5 books. I'm aiming for 3 audiobooks and 2 ebooks.

I'm also aiming for 5 books. Starting with for eye. Then going through as many of these as I can. Tree Book Ballgown Mason Jar

Don’t forget me! :)
I joined late. I should be able to read at least three books.

I think I might be able to keep track of a running score. I have never done it for a toppler before. If no one objects, I will set up a reporting thread.

And me! Also a late join. I'm usually good for 3 or 4 books. This time 3 may be my limit since none are very short.

Welcome, Liz and Sharon. I've added your names to our team roster at the top of this thread. Any one else out there I don't know about?

Cherie, that is wonderful that you are willing to keep score for us.

Casceil wrote: "Cherie, that is wonderful that you are willing to keep score..."

I figured that I could keep track of a list of books and multiply the number by 10 for the overall points. I am just not good with the spread sheet stuff and the graphics I'll give it a try, anyway.

I am hoping to get in 5 books, maybe 7. I have Monday and Tuesday off from work. I needed a couple days of vacation and Monday is my oldest daughter's birthday. I want a chocolate cake and that is what she is getting! I may even bake it myself.

Welcome to the team Liz & Sharon. Glad to have you join us.

I think you have it covered, Cherie. Thanks for stepping up.

I've got my ducks in a row finally, and have a game plan in place.

I will start with As You Wish. Off to download the books.

Ok, realistically, I don't think I can really read more than 4-5 books...

After the answers I received here are some of the books I will try to fit in next week...

tree book
egg gun
eye (close up, not a face) glasses (for eyes, can be sunglasses)

I might end up reading totally different books, but we'll see :)

I was super excited when I saw your gophering Cherie, as I have The Universe Versus Alex Woods as well, and was annoyed I missed it in my own hunting. Apparently I have the alternate cover, , so there goes that plan. /sigh

Twenty minutes to go! Woot. Woot.

I'm starting with As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride.

Feeling S L E E P Y? Need a cat nap?

The toppler has started! Happy reading everyone. Don't forget to come up for air every now and again and post your progress.

Happy toppler day! I am starting off with See What I Have Done. Ive always had a fascination with Lizzie Borden. I get to read most of the day today, so i should be able to finish this one before the Vegas Knights hockey game! :)

I'm about 40% in, I think. I had a light snack for lunch and I'm feeling groggy. I think I'll make a Chai Latte. Between the caffeine and the sugar, I should be fixed right up.

Hi all. I have been out of wifi range until now, but still reading my first book. I am about 40 % done.

I am switching over to my audiobook to go chop at the blackberry bushes in my side yard for a couple of hours, until the direct sun hits over there.

Keep reading and post any finished books over in the reporting thread.

The first book is in the bag! I finished As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride for SWORD and posted in the reporting thread.

After I catch up on messages in the group, I'm going to seek out Billy Crystal's outtakes on YouTube.

I finished for bird. It was not very good. But at least it is likely that whatever I read next will be better.

I'm hoping your next book is a better read, Casceil. Things can only improve, right?

I'm about a third of the way through my second book, but I am heading to bed now.

I am reading for hand/eggs. With a lunch invite today and an interview tomorrow, this might take a while.

Feeling S L E E P Y?

I'm still on my first book The Raven Boys, but will hopefully make major progress after work today.

Feel like a Bloody Mary or Mimosa or Bailey's for breakfast?

I was doze reading my ebook in bed last night until I gave up and turned it off. But I'm bright eyed and busy tailed this morning and will start my second audiobook shortly.
