Sarah, we want your goal for books greater than or equal to 160 pages for the whole year.

Thanks, Gayle!

I have the whole collection on CDs...and still watch it in Real Time. Trying -desperately- to resist getting it in HD.

I have added all requests up to Post #267! If I missed anyone, or made a type-o on the data, please let me know.

Hopefully, the Google Spreadsheet link still works for the update. If not, let me know. Thank you.

Please note the Key at the bottom is for the CURRENT ROUND I. (Yes, I've been color-coding you all along, you just didn't know it. ☺)

No one has been assigned a Team for Round II, yet.

Also, if you see your hyperlinks in the last few columns, and your Profile is set to Private, be assured NO one will be able to access it, except your GRs friends.

It means here, ❀Tea❀. The sign is still up over in the "sister/new" group asking you NOT to send a "request to join."

Our plan is to ask the Team Captains to join first, so that they can "reserve" spots in the beginning posts.

message 276: by Carol (new)

Carol (peppersgirl) | 113 comments I would like to sign up for round 2. I'm not sure exactly how many books I read in 2012 but is was less than 300 because that was my goal and I didn't reach it. I read 61% of my goal of 100 books for the tower team reads. My goal is to read 300 books in 2013 but I count graphic novels and shorter books in this so maybe a goal of 100 would be realistic for this challenge. Thanks!

All the Crayola colors are on doors in all the Team threads. Plus, you have to request - or "knock" - for entrance into the "sister" group, where the challenges will be posted.

...Plus, just having fun.

I'd like to join the second round!

✔ How many books you read in 2012.
About 60, but not all of them made the 160p count, so something like 50.
✔ How many books you plan to read 2013 >/160 pages?
(For the whole year, not just what remains...)
Another 50. It's more or less my average for a while now.
✔ If you were in Round I, the percentage of goal reached would be appreciated, if you know it.
20%
✔ Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain?
I'm afraid between work and uni I don't have much spare time to even read. Mostly I burn pages while traveling right now. It'd be fun, but I could not keep up.

Yes, we will, Barb. I believe we are going to let the Captains in first to reserve spaces. So, when you see them start posting, you know we will be getting ready to start. Look for your invitations then.

28%

Doors?! Is that why we've had doorbell pics? I want to see!

I too am excited about the next round. Being in smaller teams makes each contribution feel bigger. But I hope I get some of my pals in there :)

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.

A shelf can be used in more than one challenge.

Or...you can create a new shelf. Entirely up to you.

ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) wrote: "How is it not going to affect the totals for that round?"

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.
