[Mary]

Has everyone signed up for Team A on the main page? Don't forget to create a special bookshelf and remember to tag every book you read to this bookshelf so our team gets credit for it!

[Sashana]

We only have 16 people signed up for the challenge officially. Remember to sign up on the group's homepage, everyone!

[Elaine]

Go Team A!
Should we come up with a name?
Also, maybe Mary should be our leader :D

Alexa: Happy new year! Have fun with that book, I did love it quite a bit.

[Gayle]

Hello Team A! Happy New Year!

My first book of the year is . I got it as a pre-release through another web site. It's due out this month. I know it says I "started" the book on Dec. 31, but I actually did not start it until after midnight and read until almost 2 AM. :)

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

I am just giving y'all a heads up the three books I am reading right now won't count with this challenge. I started before today on them

I don't mind taking up the position. It might be easier for me to keep up with all the members than someone else. Is anyone else interested, though?

[Susan (susayq ~)]

I'm a team captain for another team game that starts Friday so I don't mind if Mary is the one here :)

[Sashana]

I think you're the perfect person for captain, Mary.

[Mandy]

Hi team! I just started Fire on the Mountain for my first read of the year.

[Alexa]

Sashana wrote: "I think you're the perfect person for captain, Mary."

I agree!! :)

[Stacie]

Mary for Captain!!!

I think my first book of the year is going to be Enslaved by Ducks!

[Mary]

I guess I'm Team Captain, then. :-)

I'm going to attempt to send out a message to all the Team A members reminding them to officially join the challenge on NBRC's main page. Hopefully it'll go to the right people.

Would anybody like to volunteer to be my helper? ;-) I'm planning on posting status updates each week, but if I can't get to it for any reason (or I forget), I'd love for someone to help me with it.

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

I'm fine with Mary being captain

[[deleted user]]

Finished my first book of 2013! Starting on the next one today. Hope to have it done within 48 hours!

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Hey all checking in. Will go set up a shelf in a min. I've got a book to finish before I can start for 2013. I'll post when I decide what's next.

If the time difference isn't a issue, I would love to help

[Mary]

Yes! I would love your help, Sonia! :D Thanks for volunteering!

These members haven't joined Team A on the home page yet:
Auggie
Marrissa
Regina
Teresa

Some of these members have their profiles set to private, so it could be that they aren't showing up. *shrug* If they don't join by tomorrow, I'll try to get out PMs.

Reminders:
1. Tag ALL books you read to your special bookshelf so we can get credit for them (provided they are >170 pages, aren't graphic novels, manga, or children's picture books). Hint: make your bookshelf sticky.
2. Your books must have a "date started" and a "date finished" or they won't count.

[Sonia]

btw, my first book for 2013 will be either or

[Ashley]

I have a question about the "date started-date finished" aspect. When I look at my books all I see is "date read" and "date added". Do they both need dates? Is there a date started option I am missing?

Also, is there a setting somewhere that will make the date added match the date read?

Thanks!

Ashley you can change the columns visible on the shelf settings, so if you don't need the date added, you can turn it off and show date started instead

About the settings for matching both dates, I don't have a clue, sorry

Oh cool. I had no idea you could do that. Thanks!

If you mark a book as "currently reading" at the same time you add it to your list, the "date started" and the "date added" should be the same.

Good to know! I usually don't mark books as currently reading. I will have to start doing that. Just when I was starting to think I knew all the important things about using Goodreads I get proven wrong. Thanks!
