Sophie’s Comments (group member since Apr 28, 2013)

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

Wheel tends to be autumn. Exactly when is a little more variable and depends on what other challenges we decide to run. Unlike UNO in perks, NBRC challenges aren't on a strict schedule of once a year (however much some members would like more team challenges).

Been at work today, so definitely not around as much as some days!

Jealous of everyone who has fur babies - I don't think it would be fair to introduce one into our house with the levels of happy mayhem we have at the moment. Hopefully when the kids are bigger.

I hope you had fun! Wheelath..."

Wheelathon is based on a spell out of a word and isn't generally too hard to pick up. As ever, the mods have a short attention span so minis end up thrown into the mix.

Hi Patti, don't know why I presumed you'd done TT before. I've obviously seen you on other team challenges about the place!

I'm SO glad you asked the question, Jill! I was feeling a bit ignorant here -- thinking that this was some book series tha..."

We tried to get either languages with a link to the mods, or that are less well known so it wasn't the clearest.

Hello everyone!

This is a quick bedtime message from me, but will be back in the morning! Glad to see so many of you have found the thread already and are looking forward to getting started.

I know what Trinia, MH and others mean about taking a back seat for some challenges being good - I deliberately didn't captain in UNO so I was rested for this.

All the team names are translations of the number 10 in various international languages. Our team is the Swahili for 10.

Exciting! Where are you off to? Read what you can and let us know how things are going. We know that life can throw you off during these longer challenges.

*sulks*

Is Sonia aware of this?"

If she's looked at the team assignments, then yes.

And I like to keep some of my favourites around.

Judith and E might not be happy if it I put myself with you and not them. Always compromises...

Hello Klare, Jennifer and Melissa!

Klare, what type of puppy? I'm quite jealous as would love to have a dog.

Jennifer - good luck getting it finished and with the defence.

Melissa - what variety of fur baby do you have? Welcome to your first TT, hopefully it'll be easy to get the jist, if not just ask away.

Hi Lauri, no problem about the link and spreadsheet. One of us will be able to add your books if you are having trouble.

Lunchtime reading is awesome. A point of calm in the middle of the day is essential for me too.


Hi Fallyn. Welcome to towers! Fingers crossed you enjoy it as much as UNO. I'll do my best to make the switch easy to understand.


So far we seem heavy on the health related jobs!

Hi Vikki! I know we've been on a team together before. I'm glad we've got you hooked to team challenges.

Have a wonderful holiday! Croatia sounds fantastic. I'll make a note not to worry if we don't hear from you for a bit.

Hey, some of the most diabolical ideas came from people in this group!

Oh and before I forget (again)... When you are introducing yourselves please put a tag to your TT shelf (or tell me what it's called and I'll make a link).

Yay for someone else who will read chunky books - over the challenge we'll need 30 that are >600 pages!

Woohoo for wedding chat. I'm always happy to hear about what is going on offline for everyone.

Us... Listen to conversations to create tasks... Never...

P.S. thanks for my treat!

Awww, we aim to please! We had fun with the minis and all the links to previous TTs.

There's a reason some rules have changed over time!

And hope for treats...

Sammy wrote: "Again, I do believe it says something about how much they feel we need supervision, lol!"

Not here to supervise. Definitely not.

How did I not notice that there were 3 former mods here?! And some v experienced players too... Will have to keep an eye on your strategies.
