Hey team checking in :)

Hello everybody. :)

HI team!!! I can't wait to get started!!!

Let's break some ice...

Where are you from (and what time zone is that)? Me: near Indianapolis, IN - eastern time zone

What is your favorite genre? Me: romance romance romance

Did you join this challenge for the team aspect, the help with getting caught up with series or just because it sounded like fun? Me: to be honest, this time for all three. But the first time I joined was to get caught up on series, then I learned how fun team challenges can be :-P

Hello Team!

L'm Dominique

Where are you from? Quebec, Canada, eastern time zone

What is my favorite genre: thrillers

Did you join this challenge for the team aspect, the help with getting caught up with series or just because it sounded like fun?

All 3 but the most important is meeting new people and having fun!

Can't wait to start!

Where are you from? Virginia Eastern time Zone

What is my favorite genre: Fantasy

Did you join this challenge for the team aspect, the help with getting caught up with series or just because it sounded like fun?

All 3 this year I'm hoping to finish alot of the series I've started.

Hi everyone! Checking in :) I'm usually on the mobile app, so I can't be captain. My favorite genre is thriller/suspense. First time playing this game, so I'm excited to see how things go.

*Waving to Delitealex* So happy we are on the same team! :D

Where are you from (and what time zone is that)? I'm from Serbia (south-eastern Europe). That's CET or GMT+1.

What is your favorite genre? Fantasy, sf, uf, paranormal, romance...

Did you join this challenge for the team aspect, the help with getting caught up with series or just because it sounded like fun? All three. But mostly because I like meeting new people and having fun. :)

I don't mind being captain if no one else wants to do it as long as you all don't mind if I don't roll until morning... I don't relish staying up until 1:00 am my time. But I could commit to doing the roll by 6 or 6:30 each Friday (eastern).

Works for me

Do we want a team name?

Does anyone have some team name ideas?? I'm not coming up with anything... :/

I haven't been able to come up with anything

Somehow I always end up using Stephanie Plum series as inspiration for team names..
4 to score?
Series smashers?

What about something like Four Your Reading Enjoyment or Four the Love of Books... or some other saying that we could use Four in place of For...

'Four the Love of Books' sounds cool

Four the love of books is a great name.

Looks like we have a winner! I'll let Ezi know.

Four the love of books sounds good

I like Four the Love of Books too! :D

I don't know who they are.

I don't think I know them either.

Ezi, if we end up needing a backup player, I do know someone who would like to play with us :)

I don't think I know them either.
I finished my book, now only to write a review. :)

Melanie,
If you can ask your friend if they want to join your team, let me know.
Both Lindy or Brittany haven't responded to me so I think we can move on with 6 players (including Melanie's friend in this count)

I've sent her a PM.

Thanks for the message Melanie!

Hi everyone, I'm excited to get to play with you. I'll go look and see what I can read for this week's roll.

Okay, I think I'll read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - it's on "I Saw the Movie & Read the Book" list.

Review

The fight between good and evil is back again at Hogwart's. More action and suspense makes it a amazing book. This book was better than the first one. Wherever Harry Potter is at, trouble follow him but with the help Ron and Hermione and nothing can stop them. Having seen the movie first, I can say that yes the book is better but they did a pretty good job giving it life on the big screen.
