hahaWe tried to get some balance between genres ;)
All captains and co-captains have now been invited to the captains group (for those not friends with this account, you will have a friend request, and then we can invite you).Captains and co-captains by team:
Note: we had a few people sign up as "either" that weren't assigned a role, so don't be concerned if your name isn't here. It just means you are a team member :)

Teehee
Thanks for picking it up! Now edited :)

Only books STARTED after the challenge begins can count.The challenge starts on Wednesday February 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 February
London: 8am, 1st February
New York: 3am, 1st February
San Francisco: Midnight, 1st February
"Can I request to be on a team with xyz, abc, def... etc."This is a question that always pops up so I thought I'd answer it here.
We totally get that it is fun to play with people you know. And we have no problems with trying to accomodate requests for 2-3 people to be on the same team
BUT
1. We don't make "whole" teams of set people (so you can't request 10 people on one team for example)
2. Book counts play a large role in UNO because the teams have a set number of books to read each month. So if you have a group that reads 150 books in the month and the team only has to read 80 it means you'll be bored for half the month (I'm sure you don't want that!). So if you and your friends have large book counts it can be difficult to make a viable team.
--this is also why it's important to try and accurately estimate your monthly books. There is no benefit to under estimating for UNO--
So, bottom line, when you sign up, in the comments you can put your request, or you can send a PM to this account and we will do what we can
If you have signed up as a captain I'm more than happy to try and match you with a co-captain that you have worked with before. Again, just send a PM or put it in your comments
I can only assume all these goodreads errors are creating the issue for you with the link (as originally I copied and pasted that post from the 2016 post ; and then edited with the new links). So if anyone else has the same problem, the link to the 2017 sign up s/sheet is:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Good introductory info:-Name
- Team Challenge experience
- Have you joined UNO before?
- Favourite genres
- Book you can't wait to read in 2017
Can't wait to start?Would you like to chat to other UNO addicts?
Feel free to chat about everything and anything here :)
Well done everyone!Happy New Year :)

IT'S A PERKS CONNECTED READ-A-THON
As a group let's see what we can read in the month of January and have a Read-A-Thon with a twist!
How this works...
* Each book needs to "connect" to the last one posted
* "Connects" can be based on by genre, author, title, character names, colour of cover, same award won or number of pages
* As soon as you have a book that you have read in Sept 2015 that can connect to the last one, post it with the reasons it "connects" and the running tally for you, and for the group for the month, and let's see how many books we can read and connect in the month!
EXAMPLE
Post 1:
Kristie posts:
Mr. MercedesKristie's tally - 1 book
Perks Group tally - 1 book
Post 2:
Karen Posts
The Girl Who Saved the King of SwedenConnected by: "King" (author and then title)
Karen's tally: 1 book
Perks group tally: 2 books
Post 3:
Kristie posts:
The Girl with the Dragon TattooConnected by: Cover colour is yellow
Kirstie's tally: 2 books
Perks group tally: 3 books
.... hopefully you get the idea....
NOTE: You can read any book of any length, children's books and graphic novels also count. Please just remember to check the tally of the book ahead of you and add up the tally as you post
Books need to be marked as "read" between Jan 1 and Jan 30. (It doesn't matter when you started)
