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

YIPPEE!!! That feels so good! I have to agree with everyone else that WE have the most awesome team!! We had no major complainers (that I know of), we all read what we were able and we truly wanted that W! Thanks to every single person, but especially to those awesome captains: Angie and Jenny! You are simply the BESTEST of the BEST!

Thank you all for stepping up and finding books that fit countries that you may never have considered reading ..."

That last sentence made me kinda sad. Oh well, I know I get to but you and Angie on TW's so now I'm happy again! lol

One of the best TT comments ever!"

101% agree and we've had some awesome teams!

You should've stayed awake and joined the party with Angie and me! lol I was up last night until 3-ish so Angie and I were talking online via PM's, and I felt like I had company so that was fun. At times I was watching the SS as she moved things around. lol I was entertained! Got to bed and woken up right after falling asleep at 3:35 with a dang foot cramp! So I got up and long story short was wide awake again. Turned on the TV to a reality show on Netflix and fell asleep until Scott (hubby) woke me up and asked me if I wanted some oatmeal. lol So I've been wide awake again, but it's OK. I'll get some reading done for us.

I can't even begin to say thank you enough to both of you, Angie and Jenny, for all of the hard work, time, patience, shelf-stalking, PMing us (at least me) with reminders or whatever. I honestly don't know how you two do it, but I'm so grateful to both of you.

To my teammates, thank you to all of you as well. We all did a fantastic job! I'm hoping we took first place because I need that prize money! lol I hope to (and sure I will) see you all in other challenges and definitely for the next round of Tower Teams! :)

I have paced myself for the last few books...one a day and I will finish my cap but not until the 17th.

Lol All I know is you amaze me! 😊

HOW do you do that, Angie? I assume it was you. Once again, I JUST posted my book and was looking to see what we need and went back to post my characters and YOU beat me to it once again! Jeez, girl, you're Speedy Gonzalez! But you save me some work, so thanks! lol

I only meant, if you didn't really want to read for a hard country and were just doing it for the points, that you could probably get the same am..."

I know, but I just want to make sure we get all of the points we can and I am OK with any book being moved or removed.

Jenny wrote: "Angie did call me a poo poo head in a private message at one point. Just saying.
I mean it hasn't been a perfectly polite team.

teehee

I am such a points whore that I am switching my 600 page b..."

Out of respect for our entire team, I am biting my tongue!

Lol Angie, I'll just go find all of those hard country books now that are over 750.

BTW, just a reminder that for my books that are short, feel free to move them or even remove them. I just posted a book for a hard country but it's only 280 pages so if anyone else wants Nepal or another country with a larger book count please feel free!

Jenny wrote: "Aww. You're making me blush."

Impossible! lol

I'm sad to see it come to an end. :( But it's been such a good round and fantastic team. Plus, any time with you (Angie & Jenny) is always a hoot!

Awesome team we are! YAY!

Sounds good, Angie. :)

Angie & Jenny, I posted Facing the Sun and it went to the country Bahamas, but it's also the one that fits DANCER, as Faith is a dancer and one of the four MC's. So I don't know if you want to change it or what but thought I'd let you know.

Okay Jenny, I will do that. Thanks.

It's your friendly pest again. OK, so I found a midlevel book I was/am going to read for the Bahamas, but as I was reading the blurb one of the characters is a dancer. So where should I put it? Facing the Sun

Thanks, Angie. :)

Angie and Jennie, guess what? lol I just read a book for Quest and I didn't even realize when I found it to use for that challenge that it's set in Togo, so I have a book for us to post. I have another book that I thought I already posted on the SS called but maybe I posted for another challenge. So I just posted it. If I did double it, I'm sorry.

We have less than 2 weeks left in this Tower Teams Challenge.
We are doing so so great overall, but real life has hit a couple of our big readers, and we are therefore reading less this round th..."

I am done with watching my grandkids all day for at least 8 more days and they start school tomorrow, so I WILL be able to get my books done! I can read some hard for us. Does page count make much difference as long as they're over 100 pages?
