I guess I'm the first to check in :) Can't wait to start this, now that all my other team challenges are over I need something new to focus on.

I've played on teams with a few of you already and to those I haven't I can't wait to get to know everyone, feel free to friend me. Let the Game begin!

Hiiiiii my friends!!!

*waves* hi teamies!

I can't remember off hand who all said they'd be willing to be captain. I can for sure but I really really need a co-captain :)


I've been adding fairy tale retellings to my TBR this last week. Now that the team names are official I'll start looking for the other bonuses.

I just checked and out of all of us Belinda said yes to being captain and Pepper said maybe, everyone else was a no.

Cool well maybe one of them will be game :0

I made us a spreadsheet and linked it in post 3. I'll be updating links throughout the week on all the teams threads.

Hi everyone. I am so excited to play with you all. :D

Hi Katherine Glad you can join us :)

I've been scribbling down notes and books for the last 2 hours seeing what I have that fits this challenge, surprisingly I have quite a few Retellings in my TBR and on my Kindle so I don't think I'll have any trouble in that department :)

I'm going to miss your supreme organizational skills, Jenne! :D

Aww I'll miss you too!

checking in. I'm still a maybe and will help as much as I can.

Hi Pepper! :D

I'm not a huge fan of fairy tales or retelling but we'll do great.

Jenne you're looking for other bonuses how about a bonus for figuring the rules out?

Bwhahaha it's not that bad.
You can still shoot for author initial and team name bonus.

Your family must miss ou terribly Jenne. Putting this together has taken a lot of time and energy. Thank you

That being said, am I the only one that doesn't understand these 10 tasks in 2 weeks?

Are we looking for themes of our team name? (Like Red and the big bad wolf gives me shifters easy.

Katherine wrote: "Hi Pepper! :D"

Hi Katherine, I went over to read the FAQ's to see if my question was there. luckily I'm in the office by myself today.

Pat I'll put up an example later :)

I'm awake! Just getting ready for work. I'll check later today. I can help with co captain but I'm still wrapping my head around this game...

OK now I'm on the hunt for the best books to read for our first task and mini challenge. I have a few in mind that might give us high points :)

When is 400 pages the you have 35 or 30 points?

My God! I didn't think it would that hard to find a book with some sort of way to tell time on the cover.

Jenne can we use the moon as a way to tell time? I know sailors back in the day used to navigate and tell time by the position of the moon :)

And stars. don't forget stars.

Katherine wrote: "And stars. don't forget stars."

Yes Katherine your right and stars :)

Yes you can.

Great! that helps a lot for some reason most of my book covers are a night, but I think I have found my first book!

, I think that's a sun behind him, what do you guys think?

I think it is.

Katherine wrote: "When is 400 pages the you have 35 or 30 points?"

I'm gonna go edit that.

Should be 150-200 = 20 points
201-300 = 25 points
301-400 = 30 points
401-500 = 35 points
501+ = 40

Jenne wrote: "I think it is."

Yay! 1 book to set aside for 17th :)

Hi team mates

Alrightie B you're my hired help in the madness =]

Welcome Joeera :D

Hi, everyone!

I'm really excited to get started! Now I just need to go through all my books and figure out what's going to get us lots of points lol. :)

I'am excited can't waite to get starte. I would just like to know what a retelling of Red Riding Hood woulkd be

It doesn't have to just be a red riding hood retelling, any fairy tale retelling will score us bonus points :)
I'm on the app right now, I'll get some listopia and shelf links later tonight.

Jenne, I need a break from homework and mothers in law so I found these.

New books

Most read this week

Fairy Tales Retold

Clean Fairy Tale Retellings

Beauty and the Beast

List of lists

The only fairy retelling book i have is beastly

I also started a shelf

Potentials

Hi everyone! I've been on teams with a few of you before :) I'll try to catch up tomorrow with all the chatting. I've had a looooong day and I'm pooped.

Help teamies

I've looked through many books and didn't read this evening so I'm grumpy.

I haven't decided on this but I am still figuring out the rules.


this is a retelling 50 points but it's robin hood
Team Name wearing a hood would that count

either way I see myself coming up around 100 points this week

Ok ms Pat that book would get you 50 for being a retelling, page points, mini challenge points, fits the task and not sure about author initials since I'm on my phone and can't bounce between screens.

This challenge is unique to other styles I've hosted around here. You literally will use every book you read during the challenge if it's at least 150 pages.

That's why we've got teams put together based on amount of books read a week :)

Ditto on the no reading! I've literally read like 10 pages today....
Go get some reading done so you're not grumpy :)

Here's an example of the tracking, scoring, 10 tasks etc in this post

Sometimes "seeing it" is better than me trying to explain it lol.

B when you get a minute shoot me your email addy and I'll add you as an editor to the spreadsheet if you want :)

I have a couple of good books with moons on the cover: but I can't combine them with anything other than page value
I also have which might work for our red riding hood name?
Otherwise I can scour covers for something red (I have with a red heart necklace, but it's small...) or I can use this cover
Or can hunt down an author letter combo?

Which option/s have we covered so far? I can't keep up!!! ^_^

Hi all. Just checking in on the Kindle so navigating is harder than on my laptop. I really should just ignore the GR app and use the browser instead. It would make my life easier. When I get home tomorrow night I'll start planning but off the top of my head I know I have Scarlet from The Lunar Chronicles, several Eloisa James fairy tale enhances, and Kate SeRine's Transplanted Tales in my TBR.
