Jane (PS) | 25205 comments 1. Introduce yourself to your team. Let your team members know where you are from. This is a great to know when themes are announced and when team-mates can expect other members to post their book choices.

2. Chief - 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 the Weather, come up with a team name. 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 early Thursday 27 February.

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 names 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 within 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 Annoucement 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 if Option 2 is used, members must select their book from another team. This will be advised in the week 11 announcement.

The format for selection posts Option 1:

If the theme is based off the bookcover or a letter in the title etc, please just repeat the theme.

Jane (PS) | 25205 comments I'll track each team's progress separately, using the Captain's summary in each team's thread to check for accuracy.

message 10: by ☘KathyD☘ (last edited Feb 28, 2020 09:29PM) (new)

☘KathyD☘ | 4990 comments Hi Team 5! This is my first time as a captain for this challenge, so I apologize now for any mistakes or annoyances! However, it’s not my first time participating in this challenge, so I at least know how to play the game. 😁

I live in the Chicagoland area and try to jump on Goodreads at least once a day. I’m a big fan of romance books in many different sub genres. . .one of many reasons I love this group so much!

I’m not great with team names. . .the best I came up with is the “Category 5 Readers”. . .it was the only thing I could think of that correlated to the theme this round.

Looking forward to getting this round started!

Mell (mellrouvray) | 295 comments Hi! I’m Mell, 31, from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 I’ve been happily married for 7.5 years and we have 3 kittens.

☘KathyD☘ | 4990 comments Hi Grace, Laura, and Mell! Looks like we are waiting on two teammates to check in. In the meantime, the following is the current list of suggested team names. If you have more, post them and I’ll add to this list.

Team Name Suggestions
✔️Five Seasons
✔️✔️Category 5 Readers
Pentagon Wardens
✔️Forecast at 5
✔️Meddling Meteorologists


message 15: by Grace (new)

Grace | 1841 comments Hi team! I'm Grace and I live in San Diego. Themes are usually called anywhere from 12 pm to 3 pm my time. I read MF romance. I read most genres (contemporary, historical, paranormal, sci-fi, and so on) and usually hop around to keep from getting burned out. I've been in a little reading slump since the Bachelor Challenge finished, so I'm hoping PTP helps me out of that rut.

In terms of team names I'm not the most creative, but I'm partial to either Forecast at 5 or Meddling Meteorologists.

message 20: by Susan (last edited Mar 02, 2020 10:30PM) (new)

Susan (jazzescrapper) | 329 comments Hi everyone I'm Susan. I've been married 34 years on April 4th. We have 7 kids, 6 boys and 1 girl. We also have 12 grandkids. I've lived in Las Vegas, NV my whole life (54 years). I met my husband when I was 18 and went to Mexico on spring break. I went to Mexico every month for 2 years to see my, then, boyfriend. My family fell in love with him and often went to Mexico with me. 2 years later I smuggled him across the border (no lie) and we were married 2 weeks later (by the way that doesn't make someone legal 😉) no worries we went through proper channels and he's been legal for over 30 years.

I've never lived a dull life and our kids always have something or other going on. Besides reading I scrapbook my crazy, zany kids and life. That's us in a nut shell.

I love the name category 5 readers or the Five Seasons.


message 21: by ☘KathyD☘ (new)

☘KathyD☘ | 4990 comments welcome Susan! it seems you’re love life is a romance book itself! happy anniversary to you and your husband (in case I forget in April)! I’m actually headed to Las Vegas later this month for work...please try to arrange nice weather for me! ;)

Teasha Schultz  (lhk3) | 40 comments Hello everyone! Im from PA. Not married (yet) but after 11 years of dating he did finally propose in January. We have three crazy boys (8, 2, and 7 months). I am currently a Pre-K counts teacher of 18 3-5 years old but am hoping to teach special education in a school district next year! :Fingers Crossed: So between work and my children, I don't have time for much other than reading.

I love to read anything romance. I have never played this game before and I am fairly new to book games in general but i'm excited to get started!

The weather here is such a fickle thing. One day this last week the kids wore shorts and I put my A/C on. The very next day it rained and was so cold. By this Friday it's supposed to be 80 degrees. I'll keep an eye on the weather for you 🐴

Thank you for the anniversary wish. I have had an interesting life but one full of love so I can't complain.
