Have you used that google form linked in post 5?
Cause I can't find you in spreadsheet.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Okay, I have been waiting for the sign ups, and never saw it.

So if you need a back up player, you can add me.

Can you fill up form from post #5 or give me info so we can add you.

[~Akweley♡Mazarae♥~★☆★oblivion★☆★~I CAN'T BREATHE~]

How do we know what gem we're on?

[Deedee]

Am I on a team? How can I tell? Thanks!

[~Akweley♡Mazarae♥~★☆★oblivion★☆★~I CAN'T BREATHE~]

I just looked through everyone till I found my name

You are still not sorted into team.
We'll let you know when we add you somewhere

[Rosina]

Hey Tea

Totally missed the sign up....I just filled out the form in msg#5.

OK, Sherri I found you in here.
We couldn't put you up in the team yet because we didn't have all the information.
If you, please, go to post #5, you'll find link to google sign-up form or answer questions from it here and we'll add you to the team.

Countdown til Start of Gladiator Games"

I get to start in the morning! I live in Asia, for read-a-thons and things I never get to start in the morning! Thank you!! :D

[SandyL]

So, we go by the countdown clock? So even if it's still the 1st where I live, if the clock says start, we can start reading?

You are in team Gabrielle.

But yes, if you are added after challenge started, only books you've read since the start would be counted.

[Jenna]

Hi. Can anyone tell me if Shadow Scale is considered a children's book?

[Amanda]

Jenna wrote: "Hi. Can anyone tell me if Shadow Scale is considered a children's book?"

Hi Jenna.
Shadow Scale is YA and would definitely work for this challenge because it has a high page and word count.
The children's books we don't allow are ones with low word counts and a lot of pictures.

[Jenna]

Okay. Thank you, Amanda!

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I was wondering, does re-read books count towards this challenge?

[Kelly]

You can re-read if it's been over 6 months.

[Sarah]

How do I join. Why haven't I got a notice via my mail?

[Sarah]

Nevermind - guess I will sit this one out. Have fun

[Diane Woods]

Can I still do this challenge?

[Kelly]

You guys can still sign up. We'll assign you to teams.

[Nidhi]

Sorry! found my team... :)

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

I just saw this was open from the monthly email. I filled out the signup sheet if I'm still able to play. :)

Thanks. I just making sure :)

[Teresa]

What are your word count limits for 160 pgs and 500 pgs? (I read ebooks and they don't always have page counts)

[❀Tea❀]

We are going by 250 words per page, so it would be minimum 40000 words and about 125000 cut-off

[Teresa]

Cool!

[Kimberly]

I'm hoping hoping hoping that I'll be added to a team. :)

I filled out my form yesterday.
