We haven't discussed a start for WoT yet Vi. The date of Nov 10..."

I'm ok starting later part of November.. I can't commit in December though - I'll be at my in-laws place and won't get much GR time (or reading time for that matter)

I'll join in too - I've heard only good things about the series. I'm okay with any date in November.

Ooh, I'm interested in too - I've been putting it off forever.

How does November 10th sound to ..."

Ohh, I've been meaning to read the WoT stores for a while. I'll join the BR too. I'm good with starting on November 10.

Thanks, Sanz. Belated Diwali wishes!!

Congrats on your 4th!! I'm amazed you manage to read anything with 3 soon to be 4 little ones.

A little intro - I'm originally from Southern India but currently living in Singapore. I'm a stay at home mother to a 9 month old. I'm hoping to go back to work next year though. Other than reading, I don't really have a hobby apart from reading.

I have played the previous iterations of TTRC before - I was a co-captain of the previous version.

Hi team!! Just popping in as I'm celebrating Deepavali today. I'll check in later today or tomorrow. Good to see we have a chatty team here.

Chris, it starts (only) on Nov 8. (So faaaaar away)

I think they'll know the number of teams only after sign up closes I suppose.

I second Diane. We need that get-together!

I can totally attest to that. Thanks for adding this. We really appreciate it :)

✔ How many books you have read in 2014 (>100 pages): 120
✔ How many books you plan to read 2015? 120 books
✔ The continent you live in (so we can try and match time zones) Asia - Singapore. UTC + 8
✔ Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain? I'm willing to be a co-captain.
✔ Is this your first team challenge with NBRC? Nope

I have to say - I love the points scheme for TTRC specifically the support for the longer books. That will give me the push to read the ones I have hidden in my TBR.

OK, backdating to Sep 1 and trying to finish as much sub-genres as possible with exceptions
