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

Holy crap ! I just love this group more and more.. This truly is the best of the best.. Sonia, you are a genius !

Hi Beth, good to see you again.. Yaaaay !! ☺️

I have got such a cool team.. everybody is equally excited for the challenge to start which guarantees a blockbuster of a challenge in the future.. yipppeee ! :)

I am on such a bad reading slump, I can die in shame.
Last two months have been horrifying when I go to update my read-book spreadsheet. Gah ! *shudders*

Hopefully I will get back to business seeing the crazy reading you guys do (I know some here *eyes Tamika* who devour books like they are brownies ! :P).

Wish they'd just fall off thanks to the weight.
*dreams*

Oh the pictures here.. dont do this to me, you girls.
I am looking at them oogly-eyed, droppy-jawed, licky-lips AT WORK.. and my boss-lady walks by, doesnt say anything but I am sure she was jealous :P Hehehe !

THERE EXISTS FOUR (F O U R!) GUYS ON GOODREADS DOING CHALLENGES ?
I think I have just died and reached GoodReads heaven, where all the testosterone is assembled. :O ;)

Oh.. we have Sara too.. and Angel also.
Yay !

I know nearly this whole team.. I am so comfy cozy already ! :P

I have only not shared a team with Ashley Marie, Mary and Mr. Dude *special preference ;)*, so extra special hi5's to all three of you ! :D


EDIT : Hold on ! Mary, were you on the Vikings team for the recently concluded Gladiator Games Challenge ? If yes, then we were on the same team there. (although, it did get a lil crazy there towards the end to keep any track of your teammates) ;)

OMG ! OMG ! OMG !
How did I miss this update ? Thanks for the friend request Steven, I wouldnt have checked the thread just yet had I not received your request.. and you are a guy ! LOL ! My first guy team-mate in 31 team challenges across 7 groups.. *special preference* :D

Sonia, Tamika.. my Ty-Zane girls.. yaaaaaaaaaaaaay ! \m/

*scrolls through the posts*
*looks at all the hotties.. faints*

*wakes up.. scrolls some more.. faints again* ^_^

EDIT : T is Muffin ? Something is wrong with that picture. Hehe :P We are in the same team again, T.. *hi5*

I love this team, already !

Captains, is anybody else having a problem with accessing the Medjai Spreadsheet ? I cant seem to access it at all.

Can someone re-send me the link please again.. my computer has been acting funny the whole day today. Thanks !

As far as things carrying over that worked for us last round, I think we should continue to call out wh..."


Cait, in the previous round, we had a running tab of 'Goalless Books' (books that are not used for any goal) and filled in as many details possible for the same, so that it is easier for us to use a certain book for any goal that comes up later.

Here is what I am talking about.

We will do something similar this round as well, Sonia set the spreadsheet last time and I am sure she can be of help in setting one up for this round as well. :)

Jumping onto the wagon immediately, and I am sure this is re-iteration, but please make sure that every time each one of us posts, that we clearly mention the team you belong to and the goal (and the team) your book satisfies, if any.

Clearer we are in our posts, easier it will be for the Captains to maneuver through the plethora of posts we will be looking at in the next two weeks.

This is going to be for the next two weeks, personally for me, the BIGGEST team challenge I have ever played.. and I cant wait to get the ball rolling !

Lets do it Medjai's ! :)

Wohooo !
24 new goals and 50 total players !

Holy guacamole.. this is going to be epic ! :)
Howdy everybody ?! :D

Not necessarily.
Any book, whose total number of pages can add up to 3, works.

Done !
Thanks for pointing it out.. I would hate to miss even that additional half a point ! :P

Quick Reminder

Before this week ends, everyone please make sure to drop by the Spreadsheets and have a look at them to make sure all your read books are captured in your respective house spreadsheets and, if they are not used for any goal, in the Vikings Spreadsheet under the 'Goalless Books' Tab.

There is too much happening around, and we dont want to miss any book. Thanks ! :)
