message 10: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1598 comments That should be plenty.

I'm Logan in Chicago. I read a lot of different genres but right now a lot of M/M romance for a huge team challenge in that group. Other than that I like YA, historical mysteries, and fantasy the most.

I'm looking forward to playing with you all!


message 11: by NayNay (new)

NayNay Hello everyone!

I'm NayNay and even though it says I'm from the USA , I am actually in Canada. I am an avid reader, reading a book sometimes two books a day. I read just about anything...although my favorite genre is historical fiction. Right now I am on a Romance Suspense kick, I found a couple of good series.

I look forward to playing, happy reading!


message 12: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1598 comments Oooh, I'd love Romantic Suspense recommendations, Nay Nay! What series did you find?


message 13: by NayNay (new)

NayNay This is what I found Logan:

SHE CAN SERIES by Melinda Leigh
She Can Run (She Can... #1) by Melinda Leigh She Can Tell (She Can... #2) by Melinda Leigh She Can Scream (She Can... #3) by Melinda Leigh She Can Hide (She Can... #4) by Melinda Leigh

yes sorry about that - to keep things easy for myself I listed Canucks timezones as USA ;)


message 15: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1598 comments Thanks Nay Nay!!


❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ | 2613 comments Hi everyone, I'm Stephanie from Australia
my favourite genres are MM, Paranormal, Fantasy, Historical Romance, SF, and a bunch of others.


❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ | 2613 comments Do we have a secret group?


message 18: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1598 comments No secret group for this game. There isn't any special twist or strategy we have to plan for - just plugging books into the spell-it-out word.

Karen, correct me if I'm wrong!


message 19: by Marie (new)

Marie | 287 comments Hey guys! I'm Marie from Serbia.
My favorite genres are Fantasy and YA (though I've read a lot of Paranormal and New Adult of late), but I could be persuaded to read some History-type books..
Logan, I'll be glad to help, just be warned that I'll probably be internet-free the first week of August :D


message 20: by Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado (new)

Karen ⊰✿ | 16324 comments Mod
That's right Logan!

Although secret groups were necessary for some challenges, they do have the disadvantage of restricting chatter between groups, so we intentionally made this one more 'open'

Secret group my foot. I will stalk y'all anywhere you go!


message 29: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1598 comments I'm out running around this morning, but I'll be back later to post a book selection.

Would a team spreadsheet be helpful? I don't mind doing one, but it may be just as easy to post our planned and read books here like Stephanie did. Let me know if you have a preference!


message 30: by Marie (new)

Marie | 287 comments We could do both, I guess..:D
The challenge is starting tomorrow, right?
I'll be reading "The Horse and His Boy" by C.S.Lewis tomorrow. Though I'm not sure for the rest of the week-I'm not very good at planning what'll come next when it comes to reading. It's too much like school.
The Horse and His Boy (Chronicles of Narnia, #3) by C.S. Lewis


message 31: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1598 comments Yes, anything we finish tomorrow counts regardless when you started it.

I have books I could use for H, S, and O this week. Anybody have good I or Y options?


message 32: by Marie (new)

Marie | 287 comments Well, I was planing to read "The Monstrumologist" by Rick Yancey for some time now, I guess I could do it this week..


message 33: by NayNay (new)

NayNay Okay ladies this is my first time playing....I finished my book do I need to write a review? Do I need to rate it? And if you want me to take another letter just let me know.


❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ | 2613 comments you don't have to write a review for it to count, it just has to be in put in your wheel a thon shelf.

message 36: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1598 comments I just sent a PM to Karen, our last teammate. Hopefully she'll check in soon.


message 37: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1598 comments I can read Beyond the Highland Mist for the H (Highlander series name), and it has been shelved 10 times as history so we can get the genre points.


❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ | 2613 comments when i finish the book that i'm reading now, i will be reading The Bound Prince which can work for the 'S' with a character named Samantha.


message 39: by Ana (new)

Ana (ckairas) | 4 comments Hello everyone ! I'm sorry for being late , I just finished today with my exams . The books have to be from the same genre as the one of the week ? I was thinking about reading "Shiver" by Maggie Steifvater, but it has nothing to do with history , obviously . Anyways , if there are any letter missing , I'll look for a book with that letter . Any suggestions?


❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ | 2613 comments It doesn't have to be a book from the same genre we are assigned, we only get extra points for 1 person reading the assigned genre and i think Logan is gonna do that. so you can read anything that matches a letter that we need.


message 41: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) | 3473 comments Hey Logan! :D
I'm just dropping by to say hello and give you this:



Hi everyone!
*waves*


message 42: by Ana (new)

Ana (ckairas) | 4 comments Then , I'll read "the picture of dorian gray " by oscar wilde . That count as an "o" ,right ?


❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ | 2613 comments yep that counts, you can use the title, series title, author's first and last name and main characters first and last name.


message 44: by Marie (new)

Marie | 287 comments Hey Logan, I don't want to butt in, but maybe everyone can post their read books the same way so we can sort them out at the end of the week.
For example:
Book and author name: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S.Lewis
Date read: 12/7/14
Works for: S, T(character Mr. Tumnus), O(the Chronicles of Narnia)
Genre points: no
Just a suggestion..:D
p.s. this book doesn't count, 'cuz I read it yesterday.


❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ | 2613 comments Marie,(the Chronicles of Narnia) wouldn't work for 'O' it would have to go for the first letter of the first word so that would only count for 'C'


message 46: by Marie (new)

Marie | 287 comments Oh, I didn't see that, I thought it was like a standard Spell-it-out challenge - the first letter of any word. My bad :)


message 47: by ❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ (last edited Jul 13, 2014 11:00AM) (new)

❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ | 2613 comments No problem, i'm nearly finished a book so i will use your example so that it's easy to see what it can be used for.


❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ | 2613 comments Book and author name: Trouble in Texas by Katie Lane
Date read: 13/7/14
Works for: T - Title
Genre points: No


message 49: by NayNay (new)

NayNay Medical Error (Prescription for Trouble, #2) by Richard L. Mabry

Book & Author: Medical Error by Richard L. Mabry
Date Read: 07/12/14
Works For: R - authors name
Genre Points: No


message 50: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1598 comments Thanks Marie! Yes, the uniform format will be a big help.

Since there's only 5 of us, we'll have to double up on the longer words like this week in order to get the points for finishing the word. If we're feeling really ambitious we can always try for spelling it twice to get more points.

There's also no requirement that each person has to read a book, so if you're going out of town or have a conflict, just give us a heads-up.

On that note - I'll be out of town next weekend. I should be able to get our points posted by the cutoff (Saturday night for us US folks), but I'll let you know if it looks like it may be an issue.
