Yes that is correct. I started on Jan 1st. Finished on Jan 2 and added it on Jan 2.

Hello team mates.
My name is Roxana, I have 25 years old and I live in Bucharest, Romania. I have a Bachelor in Economics and now I'm working for a fancy market research company. I'm a cheerful and optimistic person, I love spring and sun and I hate cold weather. I'm a Good Reader and a NBRC member from November 2011 but I haven't participated at many challenges. I found this challange awesome and very entertaining and my passion for reading brings me here. As a favorite genre I'm much into classics but also I enjoy to read fantasy, chick lit, romance, crime, biography. When I don't read I like to listening good music, watching TV Shows and have fun with my friends.
I like " C Us Win" as a name for our team.
Now I'm reading The Hobbit
P.S My english it's not so great, so please forgive my mistakes.

[Midu]

hey Roxana! welcome to the challenge!

I'm currently stuck on a 581 page fantasy novel which is taking way too long to read. I'm also working on writing up all my January challenges so I'm a little behind but by the weekend I'll be back in the saddle and raring to go.

[Kirsten]

Ugg I had to start with a 431 page book and am slowly trudging through it...I know I am not the fastest reader but why couldn't I have started small-er? (This is what I ask myself lol)

[Midu]

thanks,Barbara! hey Kirsten!

Hi Barbara - that's how I am right now. I'm in the middle of a not-too-long book, but I always spend the first week or so of January writing up my challenges and plotting out a reading course for the first few tasks, and then I'll be off! I have quite a few Agatha Christie novels in my lineup for the year, so that should add up pretty quickly. :)

I think your English is pretty good, Rocsana! (Or should I say, "You speak it well." LOL!) I'm getting ready to re-read The Hobbit this month. Loved the movie. Have you seen it?

[Midu]

[[deleted user]]

Have almost finished 3 books , but can't add them to the shelf from my phone , there's a long time to go Vikki , we will definitely make up :D :D

[Julianne]

I was hoping to finish my first book last night but I was just too tired. :(
The weekend won't be good reading for me but I have 3 days off next week so I should be able to knock out a few.

[Cathie]

I've finished one book, and now I'm reading

[Dragana]

Me to. I read Lord of the rings 15 years ago and I am thinking about reading it again... :)

I also have a couple of short books planned to read this weekend. We will definitely catch up! ;)

[Midu]

By the way, Captain & Co-Captain????: I sent Diana a PM asking her NOT to give up (as she expressed in Post #79). I believe all she needs is to put a hyphen between the words of her bookshelf.

I think there's been 3 of us willing to share the captain responsibilities... Karen, Tanya & myself. Apologies if I've missed anyone out.

I just sent her a message asking if she needed help. I saw on her homepage that she has a shelf labeled "reading challenge", so she might have figured it out, but if not, I've offered to walk her through it. I had a bit of trouble my first time, too, so I can sympathize. :)

[Melissa (ladybug)]

I have finished Night Game and Time to Share. Now working on Gilead. Really have to pay attention while reading this book. :D

[Tanya]

Whoo-hoo! I finally finished my first book, , which took way longer to get into than it probably should have. (I blame New Years Eve plans...).

I'm not sure what I have lined up next...I think maybe .

[Lisa Kay]

Finished listening to my audiobook: .

Rocsana I would love to hear what the classics are in Romania. I love the classics (American, British, Russian) so I would be interested in learning about the classics in Romania.

It's okay. I added 3 books that are 1200 to 1500 pages each. :-) I am going to start them sooner rather than later, better to get them out of the way.

[Cathie]

Danielle wrote It's okay. I added 3 books that are 1200 to 1500 pages each. :-) I am going to start them sooner rather than later, better to get them out of the way.

What were the 3 books Danielle?

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Okay, who is the captain of Team C, please? Or captains? Karen, Vikki, and Tanya? I need to talk with one or all of you in the Update Status thread.

Thanks!

[Tanya]

I just heard back from Diana and she said she's dropping the challenge due to frustration with the shelf creation.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Aw. That is too bad, Tanya. If she keeps her shelf easy, like "2013" I don't think she'd have a problem.

**sigh**

Thanks for checking.

One is another one is and then .

I will be reading a shorter, faster read while reading these though. I will finish my first book tonight. Yay!

[Tanya]

Oohh...

Les Misérables is another book to add to my to-read list for the year. So...many...books!

I sent her a message as well. I told her that she could call me and I could walk her through it or send her screen shots of how to do it. I am hoping after a few days the frustration will ease up and she will be willing to try it one more time.

[Barbara ★]

I hope you are successful Danielle as we really can't afford to lose a player this early in the game especially since we are already so far behind.

I just posted my first book Love in a Nutshell an audio book I've been listening to.

[Tanya]

Good luck, Danielle. I hope she reconsiders!

[Cathie]

Great big books Danielle! Les Miserable's is over 1400 pages long! Takes up half a shelf, lol! Happy reading :-)

[Amy J.]

Finished my first book and I have started

[Vikki]

Hope Diana reconsiders... :o(

[Vikki]

Noticed in the status update topic that Team A have a wee logo - if anyone wants once we've definately settled on a name I can try and create a logo for us.

Have also had another thought for a name...
"Challenge Champs/Champions" Just popped into my head as I was typing this. LOL

Would like to try and decide on a name asap.

[Jess]

Good to see people aren't shying away from the huge classics like I am, haha!

[Cathie]

I think "C Us Win" is very catchy for our team name.
