The scope of the team event is my deterrent, but just because I'm having a total life changes and have no idea what my life/schedule will look like from now until October haha (I wouldn't be able to do tower teams either).

Oh don't get my wrong Karsyn. The added pressure of working for the team is totally why I join the team challenges. That pressure pushes me to read more which is the reason I'm in this group after all.

I do try plan out all my books to fit the challenge, but I plan only using books on my TBR so it's always something I actually want to read. Again, the whole point of the challenge is to get us to read, so the different tasks force me to look through my whole list and read books I totally forgot I wanted to,

I have done most of the group challenges here (I missed a couple signs up in the past) and really enjoy them. Like I said, it's just bad timing for me right now. I wouldn't want to join a team and then to have to either pull them down because my schedule gets crazy or have to drop out.

Ya I think it completely depends on the person. The team competitions definitely aren't for everyone (and I won't lie they do add a lot of extra pressure on their reading). I enjoy it because I like working in a team (like the dragon event here), but only if I know I can commit to at least 1 book a week for the team. If the dragon event wasn't going on at the same time it might be easier to do the Wobble. In that case I would just stick books into my RPG wherever they fit (kind of what I do now anyway). But now I'm so concentrated on doing only certain things to help with the dragon battle.

I have done the team events AND RPG in the past, but it required more searching for the PERFECT books to fit both, which takes a good amount of time.

I really wish I could participate in Wobble. It would take more organization of my books, but since we can use the same books for both I'm sure it would work out.

Unfortunately I'm in a transition period right now haha. My husband and I are moving to another state at the end of the month and I am doing the new job hunt. I could have months and months with no job and plenty of time to read....or I could have a new one soon and be spending all my time exploring my new city and working! Bad timing for me :'(

(Also right now I do a lot of audiobook listening at my job and a new job would mean I couldn't do that anymore)

Awesome awesome thanks!

Thanks Reva!!

If we're reading a book where someone loves to shop.....do they have to shop or mention shopping in the book? Or can it be a character from a series that we already KNOW loves to shop??

That's awesome Reva!! I'll take them tomorrow morning. Thanks!!!

So it says the squirrel brings nuts. There is also a You're All Nuts Quest.... And the caravan hill is selling 1 nut for 2 gold. are these all the same?!

Ooof!! That's not good. I'll need to find someone willing to sell me some since I don't have a squirrel and he's way to costly for me.

Is the acorn the same as the nut? If not how do we get acorns again....I can't seem to find it.

Does anyone have an acorn to sell???
