Sign up completed today, but without a Goodreads User ID so I can't find you. Please PM me if you'd like to play :)

I'm just assigning now :) Will PM you shortly

Unfortunately Kathleen has decided to leave the challenge.

Please welcome Christina as your new team member.

Sorry captains, you will need to remove any of Kathleen's books from your s/sheet. But Christina's books read for March (started after the March 1 deadline) will count.

Current Points Spreadsheet
Note: Current Points is only as up to date as the captains are at updating their spreadsheets
Some Captains update daily, others weekly, or somewhere in between!
Some only count points when hands are completed, others count points for all books as soon as read
So just use this as a guide as to where your team is up to :)

:)
Because your captain hasn't arrived yet, I have PM'd the team members. Hopefully you'll get some company soon!

Yes :)

Less than two days to go!

Remember, only books STARTED after the challenge begins can count.

The challenge starts on Tuesday, March 1, 2016 at 7pm AEDST (Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time). To see when this is in your time zone, use this countdown

Main cities, FYI:
Tokyo: 5pm, 1st March
London: 8am, 1st March
New York: 3am, 1st March
San Francisco: Midnight, 1st March

:)
Goodreads makes sending individual messages quite difficult. As it limits the number of messages we can send AND we need to do the whole "I'm not a robot" business which makes it very time consuming. For that reason, I generally don't PM people unless they are missing in action and the captains haven't had any luck in getting in touch :)

I'm going to say no for the majority of non fiction books, (it opens the doors to books that have a zillion royals listed for example), unless of course the non fiction book is something like "Eat Pray Love" which is told like a novel with limited characters. I hope that makes sense!!
