Hope the New Year has been good to you so far."Sometimes with the challenge groups it's a little harder to get to know people! Hopefully having a few threads where we can chat will change that a bit! And in response to your comment so far my New Year has been great! really busy but great:) How about you?
Jennifer C. you didn't miss it, I did! Sorry!!! But it's up now:) •Jennifer C. and Jamie The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

Jenne I'm so sorry to hear that your family is dealing with that, that can't be easy for your husband or you. And I still totally owe you for pulling my weight for the last few months so if you need to take a break at all it's not a problem:)I think the Series idea is a good idea for January! I'm working on it right now and I should have it all finished by tomorrow and then I'll send out a group message letting everyone know it's done. I meant to have it done already but everytime I sit down to do it something comes up! lol
I don't have any big challenges going right now so I can get it up and going in the next couple of days:)
Pat what group?

Hey Ladies, I have been working on the Factory Report, I got the main message up and I added a UnderConstruction message and let them know it will be finished by tomorrow. My goal is to send out a message very similar to the first post in the thread and change the wording in areas to direct them back to http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... for the full version.I have titled the rest of my post with what I will be adding in each one, I'm trying to hit the balance between overload of information and not enough information! grrrr! Anyways can you look over it and let me know what you think?!
Also I would like to feature a challenge or folder each month, I thought it would help highlight some challenges that may fall in the crack and I have NO idea what to Feature first...any ideas?

January's Featured Challenge is....♦Series Challenges!!!
Who Created it? - The Series Challenge was created by our Mod ~Jennifer~, and is fairly new!
What is it? - Here you will find challenges covering popular (and some not so well known) book series. There is a huge variety of series here from Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by Anne Rice(Erotica) to Harry Potter (Fantasy YA/Children) to Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward (Paranormal Romance) to The Dark Tower by Stephen King (Horror/Fantasy) so there is a little something for every one!
How Long?- Some last 3 month other 6, and most 1 Year. You can find the length listed in the titles of individual challenges.
This is a perfect way to tackle some of those series you want to get to!
New and Note Worthy...
*What's happening in January!
♛January's Employee of the Month is....Sheila! Congrats to you Sheilia:)
Our Monthly Challenges are up and going and it's not to late to join in!
We would also love for our members to take a quick break from their challenges and reading and stop by the The Water Cooler and drop us a line!
We would also like to remind you that since this is the new year there will probably be some moving around of threads! We will be archiving some of the old challenges, refreshing others, and adding lots of new ones in the upcoming month! If you seem to loose a thread check out our Archives first or ask one of us and we can help you track it down!
HELLO TO ALL OF OUR TCF MEMBERS!
We are starting a brand new year and we have new challenges and threads to help keep you busy in
! You may notice in January that we are moving threads and folders around as well as getting rid of things and adding more...we would love your input on the group so make sure to stop by the Suggestion Thread and let us know what you are thinking! And for those of you who are new to the group or have just been hanging back we would 
it if you stopped by the Introduction Thread and dropped us a line!Our goal with the Factory Report is to let you know what is going on each month!
Remind you of things like our new Monthly Challenges are up like the Creature Feature-January, TCF Monthly Challenge-January or the You Want Me To Read What?!. With it being the begining of the year their are also lots new Yearly Challenge. Check out the Challenge post below for links to all of our challenge folders! And of course there is always our ♦TCF Foreman Assignments and the ♦Factory Employee of the Month!♦This will also also be a great chance to share with you anything new or noteworthy going on in the group!

water cooler at work this is a place to gather and chat about...well anything! Like what just happened on The Walking Dead, or what your weekend plans are, or sharing a recommendation for a great book you just read! We also have the The Break Room with various topics set up to discuss and if you have any ideas for thread topics in The Break Room let us know Here ت We also thought to remind you that this was a good time to check out some of the open-date 6-month or yearly challenges now that the new year is starting...In fact, with the new year starting this is a good time to go through our challenge thread (as well as the rest of them) and see what is out there! It doesn't take long to let the challenges pile up and now is a good time to discover a challenge that might be new to you!Make sure to check out the Posts Below for more detailed information☺

I have missed the group and I'm excited to be back!
Hey everyone! Hope the new year is treating you well so far!!!
