The Mods will be doing "spot checks" on page numbers.

I already see one book that needs to be removed. Sorry.

I just had to request that seven books be "un-tagged" for Team C for this challenge - and still checking. Please be careful, if your bookshelf is named "2013." And be careful with short stories.

Thank you!

I did just send a PM to someone who didn't have an eligible book "tagged." It works both ways, right?

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) Under the Summer Sky by Lori Copeland
I think this one will work for "5.Blue's Day". I finished it 4/8

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) Courting Morrow Little by Laura Frantz

Will this one work for "6.Earth Day"? Finished it 4/2

Team C

I just sent another request for someone to remove 14 books for their challenge bookshelf. It might behoove you to have the shelf names something else beside 2013, to avoid confusion.

Not quite yet. The marker has been jumping around due to people taking off books that don't meet the page requirements and adding books that do. Currently Team C is at 2,010 and NOT yet 2,013 via the marker. HOWEVER, there are still 14 books that need to be removed.

Plus, there will be an update of the cache in about 24 minutes.

  2,010
      - 14
= 1996

Definitely. However, it is near my bedtime and I may have to declare a winner tomorrow.

Sorry... Didn't mean to confuse you. You need 17 books. We are going to 2,013. I was just doing the math of what your Team has marked.

All requested adjustments have been made. New total for Team C reads 1,996 on the Home Page challenge screen. I just clicked on the Midu, Sandy, and Claire to initiate updates. It takes about 15-20 minutes for results to show.

Nancy | 577 comments I've been reading team and tagging books. Most have unfortunately not fit into the april challenge so I haven't posted them! We are so close!

 ★ gwiz ★ (ggwiz) | 760 comments If all is well we just hit 2013. C We Won :D We did good.

What I understand we still need to find out which team comes in 2nd, 3th, and 4th. The April Challenge is still going if you still want to continue I will keep updating each week until the end of the month.

Cool Text: Logo and Graphics Generator
Current Stats:

Team Books Read/Goal* % of Goal % of 2,013
Team A 1877/6409 = 29.2% 93.2 %
Team B 1966-1/6385 = 30.7% 97.6%
Team C 2029/6321 = 32.0% 100.007%
Team D 1796/6378 = 28.1% 89.2%

Goal totals adjusted, subtracting people who never signed up, or never posted a book.

Subtractions done for books posted with page counts less than 170. We don’t have the Team A's finished yet, but we wanted to post.

If your Team is on track, it would be at 27.6% of Goal as of today.

Round II should start in the next few days. You've made me think...I may allow some overlap...but, let me consider it. We can always have the start day as today or tomorrow, even if people aren't in their groups until the day after.

Moderators of NBRC | 33496 comments Mod
You may leave you shelf names the same for Round II. Also, if you decide to change the name, you can go in through you bookshelves and "edit" the name; it will still keep all your other books "tagged" for the challenge Home Page.

Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) | 1359 comments Hi Team!!! Sorry I haven't been around and posted. I have been trying to get caught up on some reading and get my books posted as I seriously fell behind with this challenge. I did slip in to see our stats and saw all the adding/subtracting of books going on so I guess it was a good thing I was reading a couple books a day :)

WTG TEAM!!! It was lots of fun and a pleasure to be on this team with you all. I saw lots of great books being read and of course because of that I saw my TBR growing too.

Hope to see you all again in Round II regardless of team placement ☺

Oh, yes! Trying to firm up the Teams and make sure every one has a Captain. I had to take a break from the numbers... and then went over to RRRC million page count and messed up that number! Drat! LOL!

LOL Numbers can get to ya sometimes :( UNLESS it involves $$$$ and then we take a little more time and precautions :)

Not dense at all, Teresa. We are setting the date parameters to start April 12th. There will be some overlap on both challenges, but it is fine to use the same shelf for both.

Erin (ecardwell) I'm sorry but I'm terribly confused. Are we automatically being resorted or do I need to sign up again?
