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

That sounds good! Thanks :)

That is just great - thank you! I will enter it into the spreadsheet right now :)

I fixed the "Team Rankings" link in my first post. Good news - we are tied for first place right now. With all of the other teams :) Way to go!

Yay! I'm so glad we can now be reading for the challenge!

Melindam - thanks for the hello!

And Keli - thank you for sharing that! What huge losses to deal with - I think it is pretty normal to no longer enjoy activities you once loved as you go through that grieving process. I'm so very glad you are excited about reading again (and not just because of TT).

Kerri - I try to approach TT as a fun time with bookish people too. But always in the back of my mind I think "I want to win" :) I know no matter what, we will have fun though.

Great!

Welcome Andrea. We are so happy to have you playing with us. And congratulations on the new job - that can be very busy!

Wow great preparation Jen!

I'm positive Lisa will get you added soon. Til then, if you want to put in your book(s) with no name, feel free! I'm so happy and relieved people have found books for that high-points mod-match!

Note: I'll try to put something like the above on team status/news, etc. so that it's easy to spot in the thread. I think I will also always copy these and put these in my messages at the top of the thread.

New Team Members Please welcome Leslie and Andrea - we are so glad to have both of you playing with us!

Challenge Starts Monday! Here is the countdown: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...
Remember that all books for the challenge must be started after the countdown.

Book of the Month The first book of the month is -it's a fun book if you enjoy fantasy. You don't need to sign up to participate in the discussion, and if you answer at least 3 days worth of daily questions you will get 20 participation points in addition to the book points. Signups are still open to ask daily questions for the second book of the month, which is and starts mid-May. There is also a backroom-book read which is pretty silly and very naughty (I haven't read it, but I can tell). So if you read erotica you may want to check out the backroom.

Please ask if you have questions about any of the above, or about anything else! I'm so excited to start.

I think RT07 is a good call - right it's right between orange and brown - just like the cover :)

Elinor - thanks for all the great comments and questions! I think with that cap removed, the free-for-all is back! :)

So in my opinion you could use that cover for brown - but team, what do you think? (We are just supposed to decide together for these.) I agree the orange pops out, but especially when I made the cover big and looked at it, I think there is more than 50% brown. And we have the TinEye backup opinion as well. That looks like a fun book!

Either of your examples works for the Winners prompts! In fact, I saw similar suggestions in the captains group. That's good creative thinking!

Oh thank you! Honestly yesterday was a many brain fart day for me, so I wouldn't have been at all surprised if the misunderstanding was on my end :)

Good job getting your last Uno book done Elinor! My uno team still needs a lot but it has been fun. And I'm very much looking forward to Tower Teams.

I'm a little confused because it looks as if I was first on the Random list?
No problem, but just wanted to see if I don't understand how this works.

Wow Lisa - that is a lovely personal tracking spreadsheet! As is the team one.

It is flying by for sure!

I think what has really hooked me on Goodreads challenges is the amazing people I get to associate with. You are right Cris, so many fantastic talents and interests!

At the moment my notifications are working - but I HATE when they are not. I've missed some important things when they are broken.

Currently I have a google spreadsheet that lists my challenges with links, which lets me get to them easily. Then I try to just go to the thread once a day (if I'm captaining) to check just in case... I am loving the spreadsheet because I can also note books that I need to read for something.

But I'll never show my spreadsheet to Lisa because she'd just shake her head :)

Guess I should have said checking up on us :) Nanci it sounds like SUCH a fun trip - enjoy!!

Elinor thanks for checking in! Good luck with the last part of Uno - it's such a crazy last mini-challenge.

Vi - you made it plenty clear! And we are all set now - thanks for your patience! And good luck with your company! That can be fun, but also consuming.
