Nanci’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Thanks, Tone. I entered it, so we should be set. Captains if you think it's too far fetched let me know!

Yes, I did take the Moonstone task. I still recall my “reason” and can put it in again when I’m on my laptop next. It was very creative, so hopefully it will be approved.

Thanks Elinor, Shannon and Keli for the feedback.

Team,
Do you think this will work for a white book?

Just checked the planning SS and wow, our team has been busy planning books and reading since I last checked in! Way to go team!

We were there on April 16!

Sign me up also please for backup DQs for team Ashara

I requested The Daughter of Doctor Moreau from my library. I'll go to BOM now and throw my hat into the ring to write questions.

@Elinor- What a small world that you and I have both been to Keukenhof Gardens just a few days apart!

@Lisa- You have amazing spreadsheet skills. Love how organized you are!

Leslie and Andrea- I'm so glad you were added to our team, Leslie! It will be fun to be on the same team again. Andrea, I sent you a friend request. Welcome to our awesome team!

Hi all!
A lot has happened since I checked in last, so I just went back and read all the posts, as you can tell by my responses above. We've been busy traveling and sight-seeing, so I don't have much time. Also, I'm reading my eyes out when I can to finish up UNO. So happy everyone has made it and wow, what a great talented group of diverse people we have! This is going to be FUN!

Hi Keli! Yes, so glad to be on the same team again! As I mentioned in another post, we are currently on holiday in England. It's been chilly and rainy, but I think that makes it all the more authentic. :). Those of us in the US, often get grumpy in the rainy weather, but people in England are all so friendly and happy. Rainy or not The Cotswolds are beautiful and everything is so green!

Hi Elinor! Nice to be on the same team with you again! I should have visited you in Belgium. We were just there a few days ago on holiday. We stayed in Brussels and visited both Ghent and Brugge. Brugge was our favorite, but we really liked all!

Hi Kerri!
I just messaged you today to check in, so of course you can ignore that! Glad you made it to the team..those check ins, are not always obvious and I've done the same as you before. Looking forward to another challenge with you!

Big congrats to you, Amanda, on your pregnancy! Sorry you've been having some yucky times. Most of our daughters have had the upset tummies too and it's not easy. Hopefully it will let up soon!

Hi Janeylou! I'm currently in Bath and will be heading to London tomorrow. We started in Liverpool then have traveled to a lot of smaller towns in the north and also the Cotswolds. We've wanted to see England for a long time, so very grateful to come to your friendly country!

Hi Team!
I'm Nanci another co-captain. We are loaded with captains for our team, so between all of us we should be able to help answer any questions. I recognize some of your names from past challenges and I'm looking forward to getting to know the rest of you.

I retired from being a teacher (13 years) and a school counselor (19 years). Now my husband and I enjoy traveling and spending time with our adult children and our 7 grandchildren and 2 grand dogs. I love to spend time outside enjoying nature and playing sports. I also love baking and of course reading!

So excited for another TT challenge! We'll be traveling in Europe on April 15 captaining a boat on the canals of Amsterdam area. I'm marking it on my phone to find wifi on the 15th!! Love all the creative guesses!

Hooray! You're going to love it!
I'm going to be a co-captain with Judith this year. We often team up together. Fingers crossed I get some of you on our team, but if not I'll be stalking you! LOL

So exciting that we had our highest score ever! We gave it our all!

UNO is my favorite challenge of all. If you've played the game it's easy to catch on, but even if you haven't it's still not too hard. As a former captain and co-captain, I was able to sign up early, but everyone else can sign up in January. Keep an eye out and join Perks, so you can play. Maybe some of us will be on the same team!

We are doing great team and have managed to finish spelling our word out 4 times.
To finish our 5th word at this time we need:
S- 3
O- 1
I- 1

We can still shuffle around as needed also.

Hope you all had fun and thanks for being such great teammates! Louise, thanks for all your work keeping us organized as our captain.
I'm moving on to UNO next, which starts late January. Anyone else planning to play?
