Hey team! *waves*

It's my first time doing this challenge, so no to being captain.

I'm excited to get stared.

Hello Team

I have played before, I'm not a big series reader, but I do love the alternative challenges. I can not volenteer for captain, I'm taking care of my ill father and we are at the hospital often. I usually read a book or two a day and love Historical Fiction.

I just edited the dice info in post 2, what's there now is correct (copy and paste gets me into trouble!)

Hi Team!
It's my first time doing this challenge too so not interested in being captain :)

Hi Team !!!

I have done this challenge, so I guess that leaves me as captain....

I read 5-6 books a week so I read fast.I am bad at picking team names so some one gives some ideas....lol

We sort of didn't give you a chance of not being captain, Sue. So hope it's ok that you are our captain.

I'm no good at team names either.

I'm a fast reader and can read from 1-3 a day

I'm no good with names either. But I'll try to think of some :P

Thank you Danielle.... I am ok with it:) As long as you are ok with me....:)

We have a couple newbies to challenge....Welcome!!!! This is a fun challenge....

You both know you have chosen to read 2 books a week from a corresponding number in a series or an alternative? When we roll I will let you know what number we have to read and as we progress you will have more numbers to choose from....

We roll Sunday and Thursdays at 12:01 am CTT which I am in that zone.We can't roll till all reviews are in (and I really like all reviews in so we can roll then...I kind of a pain about that :()

Newbies if you haven't looked at this challenge archives ,I would recommend you do and if you have ANY questions pls ask here or on discussion page....

After roll is done, chose your book and post it here so all know what is being read.... and this is not a rules but it would be nice if you could pop in daily just to say hi and say how you are coming while reading book..... when I get review done I tend not to talk but it is nice to know you still around while you are reading book:)

Dang Danielle, I thought I read fast a one a day....you read 1-3 daily?

I'm good with you being captain, Sue.

I have had a look at the archive and I think I know how it goes, but as long as you say what the options are with each roll, I'll be fine.

I think with the time difference I'm 6 hours ahead. I'll make sure to keep you all informed of what I'm reading and get reviews to you as soon as possible. I'm not a very good reviewer of books, but saw in past they don't have to be long, so I can manage a few sentences.

Yeah, 1-3 daily. I'm disabled (bedridden), so I can spend all day reading.

Danielle if you are 6 hours ahead of us . That means when it is 12:01 Sunday morning here, it is 6:01 Saturday night right?

I think 12.01 am Sunday with you means 06.01 am Sunday for me.

Time differences always confuse me. At the moment it's 7:45pm.

On Tuesday? It is 1:50 here. Do you want to roll

If it is too early I don't care if you wait a couple hours... It early morning to me and I will be sleeping..... Lol

If you tell me exactly what to do to roll.

Yes, it's Tuesday.

It is soooo easy...on Post 2 is a link for a dice on line.... click it and when it comes up you pick one dice and roll dice..... Then come here and say
Ok Team, I rolled a 5 or ?. You can read the 5th book in a series or a book with title R(5 on alternate list)

After first roll if you rolled a 5 again you would say...
I rolled a 5. we were on 5th spot so now we on 10. Meaning you can read a 1st in series book for the 1, a stand-a-lone for the 0, a 10th in series for the 10 or book published in 2002 for alternate....
Next roll you add to 10 and so forth it is easy.... I will post spot for Jenne but team then tells us wht they reading:)

In this challenge I am not competitive, so I don't really care what you roll.....I just love this challenge cause you read a lot of books.....:)

Ok, I'll roll and I'm sure if I make a mistake and miss an option you'll all correct me.

Of course but you will do great. :)

I'm pretty good with group names, well any do or do you want to work a five into it?

Danielle it is Friday if you are on a SS team also....

Looks like Team Name is Hooked on Books I will let Jenne know....Good luck everyone!!!! Danielle will roll for us Friday morning her time since she is in an earlier time zone....

First roll Sunday morning my time. Roll time is 6:01am with me and I'm awake between 6 - 7am, so I'll roll sometime within that hour. Hope that's good with everyone.

Works for me

That's great Danielle! You'll post the number we got in this thread right?

Yes, I'll post here for you all to see. Sue will post in the captains thread.

I can't wait....I love this challenge. But it is very hazardous to my TBR shelf, because I am always adding books that my team members read. LOL

I'm looking forward to it starting.

Tonight ( which will be Danielle's morning) is draw time !!!!!

Yep, will soon be time!

Review:
I love this series and have been waiting to see what happens with Dalton and Rory.

Dalton has away from home from a few years, but gets called home for an emergency. When Dalton learns Rory is back home, he wants Rory. He let's nothing get in the way of that.

They have a complicated history, but I enjoyed seeing them get their second chance. They have lots of chemistry. I loved how Dalton accepted his past mistakes with Rory and how he went about proving that he is worthy of her heart. I didn't warm up to Rory as much, she had a problem of jumping to the wrong conclusions and assume the worst of Dalton.

All in all a very good instalment in this series. Great visiting the McKay Family. I can't believe there is only one book left.

Danielle , today is August 31 2014, not September ... Lol

Oops! lol

It's changed.

Wtg Danielle !!!! I'm only got 1/3 of my book done.....
