Oh Sumit I am jealous! By the time I am waking up for work tomorrow morning, you will already be done and on the weekend!

Yay, my fellow Canadian in the group!
I actually bought Dishonoured on Steam, but haven't played it yet. I've played a coupole Assassin's Creeds and Syndicate is definitely my favourite.
And Dota definitely has some issues. Trolls or people choosing the wrong region and not speaking the same language, which makes teamwork difficult.

It's 7 am here and I am about to leave for work!
And to answer your earlier question, I've enjoyed Gail Carriger's Finishing School series quite a bit. Parasol Protectorate is high on my TBR.
Hello Dire Wolves!I'm Megs from Team Firebirds, just stopping by to say hello and be neighbourly!
Good luck with the challenge!

There's a tournament going on for that game right now for millions of dollars of prizes!

I have an XBox One. My favourite video game is Assassin's Creed Syndicate, but I've recently been playing a game called Hand of Fate which is pretty fun. And I play Rocket League with my boyfriend sometimes.
My favourite board game is Ticket to Ride, but I've played a bunch I really like. One of my good friends is a board game addict, so he hosts a lot of games nights as well.
I actually just bought a new Kindle. I got a paperwhite after my 5 year old Kindle keyboard started freezing. I love the built in light but am still getting used to the touch screen.
Hello!I'm Megs. I'm in Canada near the Rockies (Mountain time zone, so in the middle of most of you).
This is my first team challenge and I'm super excited. I love signing up for challenges and I definitely looking forward to this one!
I mostly read YA and fantasy, with the odd science fiction. But I am pushing myself to read more literary fiction and classics, with varying results.
I'm currently reading Dragon Heart by Cecelia Holland and I also have Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost on my phone for when I have a space moment anywhere.
When I'm not reading, I enjoy riding my horse and playing games (video games, board games, sports, anything)!
