Thanks for letting me know. When I check the books for my team, I do click on every member. When looking at the other teams, I just use what is on the banner.

Not a problem - I'll make note of it in my records. The Moderators will need to update page 1.

Please make sure you post a comment in the Round II sign up thread as well in case your comments does get missed here.

[Reed]

Okay awesome! Thanks Rebecca!

✔Done! Changed it on Round I's register.

LOL I was just about to post there! You guys are so organized and on the ball! LOVE this reading group! :-)

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

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

You guys are looking good, due mainly to the diligent efforts of Rebecca.

Thank you!! I had a great team which really helped. When they were told to add a book, they did. When I said it didn't work and it had to be removed, they listened :) Thanks everyone!

I think I had you guys adding a lot more than taking away which is a good thing.

Someone wrote in another thread it's like being at the end of summer camp and I agree. We can still visit and write to each other.

And we did a great job. We had a slow start but came back kicking in the end.

[Chris]

Do we still post here?

I will anyway...

Just finished:

I loved this book! It was great, but you all probably know that already :-)

[Chris]

Ditto the great job, Rebecca and all! It wouldn't be half as much fun without you.

Just looked at team c and it looks to me as if they have won.

They haven't quite reached 2,013, Marguerite. Plus, I am subtracting seven books which do NOT meet the page count requirement.

[~Melissa~]

I finished earlier today. Great series for any of you that like PNR.

Ladies I've had a blast with this challenge. It's been wonderful seeing all the different books read and my TBR pile is definitely bigger ☺

It would be cool if we could all stay together,lol that would rock!!

Hello team! I hope everyone is having a great day. Sorry I don't have the results of the Spring Mini Challenge yet. RL is definitely getting in the way this month.

I'm in. Where do I need to go to sign up? Can I use the same bookshelf?

[Vi]

Michelle, you can sign up HERE. Just click on the hyperlink. I'm not sure whether you can use the shelf name - I have to check with Lisa Kay on that.

[~Leslie~]

Good morning, Team!! Happy Wednesday. I finished which doesn't count for anything but it was fun!

I am now reading and

Yes, you can use the same shelf name!

How will we know when Round II starts? Will a message be sent out? Just curious....

Yes.

We are planning to let the Team Captains in first, so that they may reserve posts in the beginning threads.

[~Melissa~]

cool...thanks

That is fine, ❀Oo❀.

[~Leslie~]

I had that question as well! Thanks Moderators, that certainly makes it easier.

[Vi]

Leslie, how are you finding . I really loved it!

[~Leslie~]

Vi, I seem to have a love/hate relationship with this series. This is my second attempt at reading it and I'm liking it better than the first time around. Not sure why I didn't like it originally, since it seems it would be right up my alley! Highlanders, time travel - what's not to love!!

Just finished Tuesday's Child Free book for review. This book is a page turner with lots of twists and turns. My heart went out to Sam when she had her visions. A must read.
April monthly challenge the cover has water and sky.

Just started Is This All There Is? .

[~Melissa~]

Last night I finished - it has mountains on the cover so I figure that works for April challenge - earth

This is the first in Kristen Ashley Colorado Man series - murder, suspense and romance all rolled into one

[~Leslie~]

Good morning, Team!! Crazy weather where I'm living - hope everyone else is doing okay.

Just finished
I don't think it counts for anything.

@Melissa - another Kristen Ashley I have to read! I'm becoming obsessed thanks to you LOL!!

@Marguerite - I have had that book on my nook for awhile. Looks like I need to read it.

[[deleted user]]

Leslie you will love it!!!

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.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Yes, ❀Oo❀, Team C has been declared the winner. Keep counting, as we want to know who places, 2nd, 3rd, 4th.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Glad you like the avatar. We've been working on it awhile.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Round II should start in the next few days. Steven has 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, Challenger-in-Chief]

You may leave you shelf names the same. 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.

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.

❀ Oo ❀ wrote: "So, we aren't going to start counting the books from 1?Sorry, I'm slow. I like to know what's going on ;)"

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the question. What do you mean "from 1"?

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

❀Oo❀, I going to break your questions down:

"Would the books that I've read for Round I count for Round II, or will we have to start a new tally , counting the books from 1 again?"

• Your books for Round I will NOT count, unless you have some that are finished on April 12th. Round II Team Challenges have date parameters set into their set-up.

"On my shelf for this chalenge, I've got 50 books counted as read. Would those books count at all..."

• The start of Round II may be the 13th or 14th...we'll see. But we are doing to allow any books finished on the 12th or after.

"... or do I remove those books from the shelf and start adding only the new books for Round II?"

• NO! You do NOT have to go in and "untag" any books.

Here is a picture that might help, ❀Oo❀:

[~Leslie~]

Congratulations to Team C!!! Let's keep reading Team D!! I'm so excited for the next round to start but I will miss this group of readers.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Rebecca who has done an amazing job as Captain of this team. She worked so hard keeping track of all the books and page counts. Well done!! And also a big thank you to Vi who did such an amazing job with all the challenges! It's been fun.
