Tower Teams I Sign-ups Round II - You are NOT automatically in Round II, if you were in Round I.
I would like to join =)How many books you read in 2012? *hides in corner ashamed* i only read 9 books :(
How many books you plan to read 2013 >/160 pages? well i put a goal of 50. I haven't read that much lately as you can see, so i am trying to start off slow.
I was not in round I.
Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain? Not really. I just joined the group so it will take a bit to realize how things work

Could both you and Hope go ahead and send a "request to join" on "sister group"? There is the mass confusion there was the other over the week-end.
I have company here this week, and I get on GRs about twice or thrice a day; I just don't stay on long. Plus, the Google Spreadsheet is down right now; but I'll get back to you, after we crunch some numbers.
I just joined the group today. Could you squeeze one more player in?✔ How many books you read in 2012.
Around 40 (I think)
✔ How many books you plan to read 2013 >/160 pages?
My goal is 50 books (I've read 13 so far)
✔ Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain?
I would rather not, since this is my first time playing, and I'm very new.(Not 100% on the rules yet)

Mod
Still, got to get back to my company. Catch you later!
Mod
Well, that is good to know... in a way... that it isn't just me. Thanks, Steven!

These are some of the nicest people you'll meet! :)
Lisa Kay, sorry to trouble you, but since you are playing in the spreadsheet at the moment, you still have Hobbits wrong. You didn't lower Karen's (India) goal to 100. Our total is 1344 :D
Mod
Okay, ❀T❀! I'll check it out and get back to you - one way or another.
Mod
But let me investigate further, further It has happened before in Round I where two people with similar names had the same goal.
**Lisa Kay grumbles "Drat! Drat! Drat!" under her breath at her oversight when she knows better**
Welcome to the group and the fun, Mariee! And welcome to the Round 2 to Hope and Thilde!*wonders if anyone will be joining her team*
Mod
Lisa Kay, don't stress about it. The books will still count for the whole time when the team is finally full. You do so much. You're allowed to breath a little! :PBy the way, as team captain for the Mango team, I feel obligated to remind you that we are Mango Tango, not Mango Madness. We are proud of our fruit dance!!!
Moderators of Nothing but Reading Challenges wrote: "SteVen, I think I have something figured out... an oops on my part: Marie (120) on Magenta Mix-Up and the Maria (120) on Mango Madness are the same person. But let me investigate further, furth..."
Oh, Lisa Kay! *patpat* You do so much for this group, I'd be amazed if you didn't make little oversights, hehe. I know that it's a lot of hard work to keep these groups running smoothly and you and the mods here on NBRC really are wonderful! I get wiped out just from the little bit of captaining that I've done (mainly making sure that spreadsheet was in good working order hehe), I can't imagine how crazy things must get for you.
Mod
Sorry, ❀T❀, remind me really quick why she lowered her goal; or just reassure me it wasn't because of the whole "adjusting because I only have 3/4 of the year left" thing, was it?

Steven wrote: "I feel obligated to remind you that we are Mango Tango, not Mango Madness. We are proud of our fruit dance!!!"**Now Lisa Kay says something worse than "Drat!"**
I'm so sorry, Steven! My profuse apologies and mea culpas!!!! I'm in too much of a hurry to finish a few things before getting back to my company.
I can hear my mother (who has long since left this earth) saying: "You don't have time to slow down; but, you have time to do it over?"
❀Tea❀ wrote: "She's studying so she can't read as much as she thought she will..."Okay, great! Got it. ☺
Thanks!

She'll have to make us something very tasty when she's done for all the trouble she caused :D

"You know, it makes perfect sense to me that you might have time to do it over but not time to slow down, lol. I'm the same way. I don't know why, it just makes sense.

Lisa Kay, to be clear, this is a different Marie than the Marie/Maria we are missing already, because that one has a goal of 120? Just double-checking!
Ah, nevermind. I see you removed that Marie from my team. She must have been the Magenta Mix-Up gal!
Mod
Yes, she was, Steven. My apologies, everyone!
That's okay. That just means I get my fellow newbie ~Mariee~ who I've already spoken to on here! :)
