Whoop Whoop Team 4

**Waves Hi to everyone**

Hi teamies :)

Hi everyone, I'm excited for this game and getting to know you all!

Hi everyone. I'm so excited to try this and get to know everyone. This is my first time up for this type of challenge.

It's super easy to play :0

I'll tell y'all a little about myself. I live in Texas and have 3 kiddos only 2 that are at home now though. I work from home so I spend way to much time on GR lol. I read mostly paranormal reads usually read 3-4 books a week.


Any volunteers for captain and name ideas? 4 is an easy # to play off of or we could go the opposite route with a name generator those are usually pretty funny.

Only have a few team names for the four names so far.

We were FOURced into it!
May the FOURce be with you
A FOURce to be reckoned with
Go FOURth and multiply
Brute FOURce

or

The quest for the holy book boyfriend!
The drinking club with a reading problem.
We're reading between the wines!

I'll stop now lol

Hi everyone,

I'm Michelle and I live in Scotland with my Hubby and our 3 kids. I am a stay at home Mum, both my boys are at school now and baby girl starts nursery on Thursday so I will soon get some time to myself. I don't have as much time to read this year, too much on at home. I manage about 2 a week just now.

It's my second time playing this game and I'm not fussed about being Captain. I am hopeless about the name thing usually.

I sent friend requests to everyone :)

Hi Michelle *waves

I've never been captain before (this is only my second time playing) but if no one else wants to do it then I can give it a go :•O

Also I am only on my phone though so not sure if that will cause a problem with the spot/review posts.

oh and another little cheeky name I thought of is The Cunning Linguists ;•D

I can link the reviews if you want Vicci and you could roll. Y'all are like 6 - 7 hours ahead of the US right? It might be good to have an overseas or someone on the west coast roll. I liked FOURced into it lol.

Yeah I'm in Europe UK so it's 7pm here now, you'll have the roll to wake up to :•D

It would be good cause my reading time is usually morning and last time I had a book done by the time the dice were rolled or I had to sit and wait patiently for the dice and wasted time. Are we aiming for a Thursday review at the latest? Baring any life emergencies anyway?

So your 7 hrs ahead of me then. When it's midnight here it's 7am for you so you could roll in the am Friday :)
Then us across the pond can wake up to the roll lol.

Yes please have reviews in on Thursday lol. If anyone ever has RL get in the way just let us know please so the rest of the team isn't wondering if we're gonna roll etc.

That sounds good to me, as long as you don't mind linking the reviews ?
I can do links on here for reviews etc. but for some reason I can't link to posts!

Yeah I have no problem doing it :)

Btw you have to click on the time/date stamp of a post and then copy and paste the url from the address bar. It's a pain in the butt doing it on your phone lol.

Yeah that's the only thing, it won't let me do it, I'm using the app on android but even when I'm on the browser I can't do it lol.
I've given up with it all and have to write it out long hand, lots of < b> and href= lol, thank goodness for copy and paste lol.

It's a pest on the phone, mine is the same or it eats my posts and I have to write it out a few times before it actually posts what I've written.

Lol yep me too, I shout a LOT at my phone!

LOL! I don't blame you in the slightest :)

I am hopeless at math but am on the West coast (California) if that makes for an earlier roll let me know. As for the Captain and linking duties I think I will sit that one out. My computer skills are almost nonexistent. As for names I'm loving
A four-ce to be reckoned with,
May the four-ce be with you and
We were four-ce into it.

Hey team! I'm Greta, from Minnesota. I have 3 kids with one more on the way later in November. We're busy with 3 young kids (ages 5, 3, 1), but I love making time to read!

I like A FOURCE to be reckoned with
Brute Fource

Should we do a 4ce to be reckoned with?

Sure!

Sounds good

Sounds good to me also :)

Whoop check us out all ready to go lol.

So I'm rolling this Friday right?

Yep, looking forward to it :)

Just checking in to see if the dice had been rolled, I'm starting a book now anyway but it feels like a good day to read so I can probably fit a couple in :)

OK guys 1st roll

3+2=5..

This week is #5 in a series or the alternative is book Title R

Sorry it wasn't a higher roll lol.

I'm going to be reading Alternative title R.

Thanks, Vicci! I'll pick a book when I get back home. Don't worry about the number, 5 is better than 2 ;)

Most teams didn't roll real high. I've got a book that starts with r I've been saving for the scavenger hunt a tlc. That call will be in a few hours and I'll know for sure if I can use it.

I will start hunting for an R title. 5 is not too shabby!

Remember the, an, and don't count so anything the r-whatever works :)

Spot 5, roll 1:

I'm going to read . I just added it to my TBR a few days ago after you read it and liked it, Jenne! I really didn't have many R books on my list, but this one looks good.

If you have kindle unlimited it's free. It's a decent read. I'll be reading the 3rd one in September. The take on the tales (fairytale characters) is cool! The big bad wolf is a werewolf, Snow White runs a brothel lol.

Yes, I signed up for the free trial of Kindle unlimited to get that book. I don't have a Kindle, but I have just started reading a few books on my phone so this should work out well.

Ok I'm reading for the alternate.

I'm so excited we get to start! Just found this one on my Kindle. Looks like it should be good.

Is the spreadsheet not working Jenne?

It should be, I edited it this morning, is it not letting you view it?

No it won't let me on it, I'll try on the browser
