InvestiGators Two-gather

Placeholder name in the meantime, so if anyone has some ideas let us all know!

This is my first toppler, and I already don't know what a 'placeholder' is.

Thanks Rusalka for starting our thread! Love the alligator, he'd make a great mascot, especially if we stay with Team 2 Investigates, which I kind of like. The only thing I could come up with is "On the hunt".
Welcome to your first toppler, Heather, they're so much fun. The placeholder that Rusalka was referring to, is the temporary title of this thread till we come up with a team name. Feel free to throw out any suggestions for our team name that you can come up with.
I haven't decided yet on how many books I'll be reading it depends on how many short ones I can find.
Anyway, looking forward to toppling with everyone! Off to do more gophering!

Love the picture, Rusalka!
@Almeta: I like that name!

How about InvestiGators Two-gether?"
Love it! Keep it open for another day or so, just in case someone has a great idea in their sleep

Yes you can. You can use Yearly Challenges, Monthly Challenges, and Monthly Themed Reads for Topplers.

Almeta, your list is fantastic.
So far, just from what’s lying around my bedroom, I found:
Eyeglasses:
Wise Blood

Bicycle:

Shoe:
Behind That Curtain

Tree:
The Past Is Never


Bird:



Eye:
He Died with His Eyes Open

Japanese Tales of Mystery & Imagination

Hand:

Dragon:

Butterfly

I’ll likely finish 3, but we’ll see once the week starts.

"
Maybe wait until everyone "checks in"?"
Yes. I got a bit enthusiastic after a very large gin cocktail last night... sorry about that.

wing - The Vegetarian

dragon - The Last Dragonslayer

apple - Jasper Jones

flower - The Buddha of Suburbia

crown - Red Queen

Rusalka, Do we need to get our books ok'd before Saturday? Do we also need to let you know what we are going to read?
Newbie questions :-)


and

If all goes well, there might be one more. Ready, set …...

We don't need our books pre-approved, particularly if they are obvious like yours. We check in with Kristie if we aren't sure, or bounce of our teamies. So you are good to go!!
We tend to link our options to each other in case we can inspire each other. Didn't realise it was your first Toppler. Hope you enjoy!!

I'm probably good for 3 books but will try for more, depending how the week goes. Here's my choices:
bird:

sword:

glasses:

dragonfly:

cat:

hat:

table:

tree:

Oh and since we don't need a spreadsheet for this toppler I could be scorekeeper, unless someone else wants to do it. :)



Lori, that would be awesome if you could keep score for us. I am not sure we even really need a reporting thread, but what do you guys think?




Beth! Good to see you again. What a surprise.

Shall we use one post per reported item found? or use one message and keep editing as more things are scavenged?

Weighing in here (I know I'm not on your team, or any team for that matter), it's better for the moderators when new posts are created rather than editing (like with the yearly challenge) as we know which posts we need to read through and check. It makes moderating easier.

New post. Good to be consistent with other reporting needs in the group as it's something we try and stress (good to see Sarah and I on message ;) ).

Welcome Beth!

Just wanted Lori Z to make the call.☺


As far as the team name I like InvestiGators Two-gather.

Team 2 reporting InvestiGators Two-gather "Tails"
As you can see I went ahead and updated our team name for the reporting thread, hope that's okay. Rusalka will have to update this one.
Anyway, we're getting close, I can't wait! Get plenty of rest cause its going to be a crazy week!

Hand: The Tree of Hands

Gun:

Tree:

Eye: The Robber Bride

Probably can't do them all, but can do at least a couple probably.

Updated!

Sounds great! We have a lunch with friends, and then have to go through Lexx's sister's stuff as she is downsizing from her massive 6 bedroom, 2 storey, 3 storeroom house to a 3 bedroom townhouse. Urgh. But I might recover some of my kitchen goods that have disappeared into that house after many family dinners and Christmases.
But I have my eyes on the couch, fireplace, and book once that is all done.

..."
Wow! No ambiguity with your great cover choices!
Hope they are great reads for you as well.

lol! Sounds toooo comfortable, Sounds like nap-time to me.☺

I'm about to crash but looking forward to the crazy reading week!
Go little Gators!
