Team “Simply Red”: Melissa (RA), Maritza, Anjali, & CaroB.

Captain: Melissa (RA)

.

hello Raven, Maritza, Melissa .I am K .Anjali best of luck to all and lets enjoy this challenge.

hello everyone! I'm Melissa. Does anyone want to be captain or co-captain? This is my favorite challenge on here and look forward to it every year.

I believe Raven is going to be Captain.

I should probably clarify who will be Captain in all the threads. Thanks for the reminder, Melissa.

That's great! It makes it easier than waiting for people to pick one. If Raven needs I can be a back-up captain

Thanks for the kind offer, Melissa!

hello Maritza do you wanna work on all songs and not wait for one that will be announced on 25 jan

We mods have discussed it and decided you may choose two (2) categories from which to accumulate points.

Still, within each category you will only get one match. So, if you have two names that match two in the the "name" category, you would only get five (5) points, not ten (10).

EXAMPLE ONLY. Player Review & Points

♬ Week 1 Song: "The Safety Dance" - Men Without Hats (1982)

Book: A Long Way Down, by Nick Hornby
Rating: ★★★★★
Finished: Jan. 27, 2015
Review: This was an unexpected surprise. The cover doesn't do the book any favours but once I started reading, the characters hooked me right in. I'm not usually a fan of the suicide attempts, but this book broke the mold and pulled at the heartstrings. Love the bonding of the characters.
*Link: SHELF - Humorous

Individual points for this player:
[shelf (1) + names (5)] = 6

Just the year is enough!

I dont know where to begin with matching books. For this week i will wait until song is posted and go from there. But good job Anjali.

Maritza and Melissa what do you think ,when can we post the replies ,I know its hard,but we can try right.Has Captain: Raven contacted any one of you?I am so exited ............I really can't wait for the song to be posted.

We Mods sent Raven another eMail. Hopefully, all is alright with her. According to the Rules, if Team Dancers have NOT visited their venues and made friends with their Captain/Co-Captains, by Monday, the 26th of January, they will be replaced.

Sorry was at work all day. I think I'm waiting till the song is announced to look for my book. I'll probably be the slow reader on the team and for that I apologize. I'm going to try and pick books that are not too long so that way I get through them faster.

Melissa hello welcome back .I am also waiting for the song,its a team right we will get through this as a team that's all it matters not slow or fast reading ,its just a game to enjoy, have a good game, to have fun that is the whole point isn't it!!!

Melissa are you the caption right now? Are we going to get one more player if we do not hear from Raven?
sorry for pestering.thank you for time.

We have another player, if Raven doesn't show up by noon PST today. She is ready to start and is already looking for books.

BTW, I might not be on-line at exactly 12 noon.

If no one else wants to be captain I'll step up. If someone else wants to be I have no problem with that. I just figured someone should post our books up :)
