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

Just for the record, the start date for this is November 21.

Oookkk. I'm going in prepared for it then.

I'm joining this too!

I'm still amazed, Greta. I wanna be like you when I grow up! :D

OK team, I'm off to bed. I'll check in tomorrow. I'll check in tomorrow.

I'm planning to join the Gunslinger too. So many books that I want to BR but I need to make sure I don't over-commit!

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.
