Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

Team Members

Captain: ✼Danielle✼
Sunshine
Shelby
Mariana
PepperP0t
Debbie(Doc)

1. Introduce yourself to your team. Let your team members know where you are from. This is a 'nice to know' when categories are announced and when team-mates can expect other members to post their book choices.

2. Team Captain - reserve a couple of posts in this thread tracking your team's book selection and completion. (Alternatively they could convert a chat comment to the tracking post/s.)

3. Name your team. Using this round's theme of HUNTING, come up with a fun name. Given we are an open/public group with no age limit, so please make sure any chosen name is smart, not smutty ;)

Please PM your name to Jane(PS) by 8 March.

4. If you have a private profile, please 'friend' your team-mates. This is really important, because without this, your team-mates can't see your shelves to select a books under option 2.

5. Please post your book selections/completions in the format provided below. (This format is also posted in both the Q&A and Sign-Up threads.) We need to know the week that each book corresponds to, the page numbers, and how the book qualifies including links to lists/shelves (where applicable), etc. I can't stress this enough. When in doubt - link it*!

* don't link to your review in your completion post - reviews in your completion posts should be included in full in that post.

You don't want to start reading a book and then find it doesn't meet the requirements because some information (eg page count or theme link) was missing from your original post.

I will be monitoring this and your book will not be considered complete until I am satisfied that your selection and completion posts comply with the format rules of the challenge.

Remember - you can ONLY change your book selection in the week that the theme is called.

6. You MUST check in with your team each week, ideally once the theme is announced. Please let your team know if you expect to have spotty communication or are on holidays or having an operation.

7. When you post the completion of your book, you must post a review; enough for us to know you have actually read the book. Please don't link to a review. You must post the review in this thread.

8. Re-reads are allowed but you can't read the same book twice within this challenge.

9. There is no prize for the winning team - bragging rights only :)

10. Each week, the theme will be announced in the Q&A/Announcement thread. The full list of themes announced during this round will be maintained in msg 1 of that thread.


The Rule on the Pass Option
* Each team can only have ONE member using their pass each week.
* Each member can only use that pass once each 5 weeks.
* This means that one or two team members (dependent upon the size of your team) will miss using a pass in each 5 week block.
* No-one can use the pass option in the last week of the challenge.
* In the final week Option 2 has altered and I will be allocating each team another team from which their book selection must be chosen :)

Key selection and completion post information. You must have ALL elements in your book posts.


For the initial selection post Option 1 I need:
Week #
Bookcover/link
Page numbers
How the book qualifies - please insert a link to the qualifying bookshelf/list.
If the theme is based off the bookcover or a letter in the title etc, please just repeat the theme.

For the initial selection post Option 2 I need:
Week #
Bookcover/link
Page numbers
Name of the team-member, their star rating, the date they read the book.


For the completion post I need:
Week #
Bookcover/link
Rating (1-5)
Review


Please DO NOT CHAT in these selction/completion posts. It needs to be super clear.

If you 'waffle' about your decided book - please REPOST your selection once you decide. DO NOT go back and edit your waffling post.

I'll be tracking each team's progress separately, using the Captain's summary in each team's thread to check for accuracy.

Hi team, welcome!

I'm Danielle and I live in Wales.

Romance (in many a sub-genre) and Fantasy are my main reading preferences.

Hi Teamies!

I'm Debbie, and I live in GA (US). My favorite genre is Paranormal and all types of romance. I love vampires but steer clear from zombies - just can't do it! I have been in the challenge several times and always love it. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Yay... new friends!

Debbie Doc stole my words. I'm PepperP0t. I also live in GA, love romance reads, especially paranormal but my favorite is shifters. I also enjoy fantasy and sci-fi but avoid zombies and most YA reads. I'm new to this challenge on Debbie Doc's recommendation.

Zombies give me nightmares!! I do love me some shifters!

Hi everyone...

Checking in. I read most everything except for horror. Para, not my favorite, but found good reads for challenges. I'm a challenge junkie and book Hoarder. My favorite reads are erotic suspense novels... dark with a touch of crime. I just started reading MM books more than most others. I live in Chicago.

Looking forward to the challenge and see what you like reading.

you so just want to be me. I didn't feel like reading this evening. I washed dogs.

any idea on a team name? In passing I thought of a couple. Hunting Harem, In Pursuit of Pages/Pursuing Pages and Romancing the Read.

Jeez - what is the chance you two ended up together!!? I only tweaked a couple of MM readers in my randomisation!

Hi, my name is Mariana and I'm from Brasov, Romania. This is not my first time playing this challenge, I enjoy meeting new people and this is the perfect way. I can read almost anything: MM, MF, erotica, YA, give me a good plot, some nice characters or good writing and I am in.

Some suggestion for team names:
The Spicy Hawks
The Cereal Book Killers

Welcome all, looking forward to playing this round with you :)

I'm no good with coming with names, so I'm glad a few of you have some suggestions!

Mariana wrote: "Some suggestion for team names:

I like The Spicy Hawks

i need so much looking after she doesn't trust me.

Nobody liked either of these names?

@ msg 15:

Hunting Harem,
In Pursuit of Pages/Pursuing Pages and
Romancing the Read.

Hi Mariana

There been a few suggestions of team names -

Hunting Harem
In Pursuit of Pages
Pursuing Pages
Romancing the Read
The Spicy Hawks
The Cereal Book Killers

Any other suggestions? What's people's favourite from above?

I'm no help I like them all.

I like all of these as well - especially like Romancing the Read!

We haven't been on a team together since the early years with GR! What are the odds.....

How about...

Romancing the Hunt

Sunshine wrote: "How about...

Romancing the Hunt"

Catchy!

Just missing Shelby. I'll PM her tomorrow if she doesn't drop by sooner...

No worries Jane, I had already sent her a message :)

Sunshine wrote: "How about...

Romancing the Hunt"

Nice :)

✼Danielle✼ wrote: "No worries Jane, I had already sent her a message :)"

Like the way you think Danielle! Thanks!

Sorry guys. Pretty much work is my life at the moment. Today is my first day of in a bit. So I might have caught on that teams were up but I appreciate the message first Danielle.

Just got home from work a little while ago (maybe an hour) and had to finish up one more book for Spellapalooza. So now I'm desperately dead on my feet. Need to go crash for a couple of hours but I'll be back.

I'll read pretty much anything and everything. I have a love for all things MM, but am back to being more balanced in my overall reading this year and so far am really enjoying that. I'm in sunny SoCal, living the crazy life in Los Angeles.

But yeah...I will check in when I wake back up again. As for names I'm fine with whatever everyone decides. Not picky. :) -- Oh and so nice to see so many familiar loved faces on this particular team. PepperPOt and Mariana (I'm not sure if we've been on a team before) it'll be fun getting to know you.

I'm fine with whatever name.
I think I got it but if screw up let me know since this is a first for me.

Hi Shelby, we haven't been on the same team before, but I know you from your booktube channel.

About the name I would like something about hunting, maybe Romancing the hunter or Never judge a hunter by his coverALL

Mariana wrote: "Hi Shelby, we haven't been on the same team before, but I know you from your booktube channel.

Awww yay! I love that anyone at all has seen my channel. Of course I've been so crazy I haven't gotten to upload lately. This week should have things calming down again so hopefully I can get back to it. But that's the issue when you work full time in the bar and also own your own company. We had a big contract come in for a film and the work was time sensitive. Now we're back in the limbo land of waiting for a few things to get solidified before we're on the film full time.

Hey Shelby :)

Mariana wrote: "About the name I would like something about hunting, maybe Romancing the hunter or Never judge a hunter by his coverALL ..."

Never judge a hunter by his coverall is a fun name. That or Romancing the Hunt would be my pick for team name (second one gets my pick). What does everyone else think?

What does "coverALL" mean?

@ Shelby,
Hi, I haven't seen your channel where is it?

@Danielle,
On the name, Of those two Romancing the Hunt

I think most like Romancing the Hunt as name.

I vote for Romancing the Hunt.

Sunshine, sorry English is not my first language. I meant coverall like some type of uniform.

Thank Marina ;)
