Update - Week 1
Color : Inchworm


Finished : Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster | Jon Krakauer | 25Mar2015 | 333 pages
Alphabets : I (Title)

Second read-through done ! WTG Bloodstone-carriers ! :)

I feel like kicking myself.
Work is getting so painful that I am exhausted by the time I get home and then literally each day this week, I have dozed off and my book has fallen on my face.

I feel like such a slacker. Sorry, I havent gotten on the board as yet whereas you guys are holding the fort so strongly.

Thanks ! :)

I have got in page numbers for all the books you have read so far. But I just dont want to miss that 500+ page book, coz that is the extra marks-earning chance.

So, if you include it for everything, great.. if not definitely please do so for the chunksters ! :)

Just a quick request !

Can you guys please also mention if you happen to read a book above 500 pages ? That is additional 10 points and I dont want to miss that update incase you read a book whose version is above 500 pages !

Lets keep the Is separate. Incase your books have I in them, just as an update, I will try and use it for that alphabet instead of the others !

Well, Erin got it ! Yay !
First spell-out complete !

Hi5 ! *Woot woot*

I am apparently the slacker this time. :p
So, for us to get our first spell-out done we just need I.. good thing I am reading an I book currently. Hope to finish it today !

Are you kidding me ?! I feel stupid for saying welcome to the club.. you are the president of the club apparently !

Awesome gurl.. inspired ! :)

OMG Zee ! Yay !
I get so excited when people Skydive.. I dunno if you have done it before, if not welcome to the club.. if this is your multiple-th time, then keep jumping off planes forever ! :)

Kelly, I tried finding around (but its possible that its right in front of me and I never saw it :P), but can you direct me to the shelves each one has ?! Or do we need to have one ?

I dont remember what I did during sign-up ! Oops ! ;)

Got it, Sarah !
I am also fine with you updating each time on a new post. I will make sure I will catch up each day's progress before the end of the day.

Cait, I am unsure of the official one, but the one that I am working on currently, I am more than glad to keep everything updated as soon as everyone posts their updates here. :)

Okay, I am such a dodo !
Forgot to turn the sharing on before I sent it out. *rolls eyes*

Hopefully, now everyone should be able to access it.
Let me know if it still is locked, per say.

Here is the link to the spreadsheet I was talking about yesterday. Meant to pot it yesterday but dozed off in between :P

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

I had made the Spreadsheet for my team on the last Wheel-a-Thon. If its okay with anyone, we can use the same and I can keep it updated as regularly as possible.

It will save a lot of time and hopefully is easier to read as well.

I will share a link to it, shortly !

Jingleeeeeees ! How have you been ?
Its time, I guess, that we get back on one team. Right ?

BTW, I am so gonna get back to WRC to check out the new individual challenges. Its like I have totally forgotten them, thanks to these team challenges. So, expect to see me lurking around the WRC walls :P

There you are! Been hunting for you for hours.....well maybe not quite so long...but it felt like it!"

Hey Abbie, I was looking for myself for quite sometime too when the teams were announced ! :P

So good to see you here. Though, I tend to hate it when you are in an opposite team, I am just so used to troubling you being on the same side of the fence !

P.S. I just dont understand why cant I just like stop myself from signing up on more challenges.. :P

*meekly raises his hand*

Well, I happened to read this.. since we are now representing this amazing looking stone.

Bloodstones are also known as stones of courage. It improves physical strength, enhances self-esteem and self-appreciation, and calms anxiousness. It boosts your spirit and adds longevity. Whenever the stone becomes blood red in color, this signals the wearer about any upcoming danger. Bloodstone also enhances creativity and intuition. It revitalizes and induces dreaming. It gives you courage and helps you avoid harmful situations. This also promotes idealism and selflessness. This soothes and revitalizes the mind, enhances decision making, and eliminates confusion. Bloodstone minimizes aggressiveness, impatience and irritability.

So, having said that.. lets get ready to crush all others stones into pieces ! :P

I am Apoorv and except Erin (who I share another challenge with currently, which gives me palpitations each week).. this is a very new team for me and I so am excited about it.

I am basically from India but I live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania currently.
So, Cait we are kinda neighbors ! :)
Erin, all the best for college.. you have heard it but lemme say it again.. its the best days of your life ! ;)
Anita, you have get me hooked to UF/PNR.. that incidentally is the genre I dont tend to read more often.

Zee, Sarah and Kaptain Kelly.. hope to see you soon ! *hi5s everybody* :D
