Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments I am way too excited about all this. Such a dork! :)

I can't wait to see who is on team Mango-Tango! :D

Dean is excited!

Ashley Marie (darlingdoor) | 1733 comments I'm as excited as Steven - I get way too into this kind of stuff.

Oo, I was so excited that I got put on one of the blue teams...I would have hated to be on something silly like Mango Tango :P


message 353: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments Well, I love the color blue and would have LOVED to end up on a Blue colored team... but most people laugh at my favorite color (brown... whose favorite color is brown? I judge myself!!!) anyways so...

WICKED WANGO MANGO TANGO!!!


message 354: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments I do wish there had been a TARDIS Blue... though if I hadn't ended up on that team, I would have cried. And quit like a child. X)

I'd have sent baked goods to the mods to bribe them into putting me on it.

Ah! Great name for a color, Steven. Does Crayola know? Because those are our inspiration for the Team names.

...Hey, maybe you could make some money off them. LOL!


message 357: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments I believe they would have to get permission from the BBC or something, so probably not.

But Tardis Blue and Chocolate Brown are my two favorite colors :)

And yes, Ashley, I too would have bribed the mods... but I think so many would be clamoring to be there that there wouldn't be any other teams with members! :)


message 358: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments YES!!! @ randomflower Oo randomflower... wow, no idea how to do those.

WICKED WANGO DO THE FANDANGO MANGO TANGO!

We are all such nerds. We're smack talking about reading. LMAO

I was honestly sitting in front of my computer cracking up, thinking the same thing!


message 360: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments I'd be willing to part with my spare house-elf.


message 361: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments Well clearly I don't own Dobby. He was owned by the Malfoys and then was freed.

I have Blinky (almost completely blind) as a backup. He'll do just fine for someone else. :)


message 362: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments They don't like to get paid, remember? :D

I feel the same way on both counts! I can't plan out my shelf name until I know my team name, haha!

I'm so amused by all the "smack talking" and then the nerdy exchange about house elves and how they don't like to be paid, lol!


message 364: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments I was hoping there'd be a Bimbo Blonde team. (and I'm blonde so I can make that joke).


message 365: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments I'd definitely end up in the "Dirty Blonde" category. Fitting, actually. X)


message 366: by Ashley Marie (new)

LOL! Good way to bring it back there :)

I'd definitely be a Feisty Red :) It fits my personality, too!


message 367: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) I love the dorkiness of you guys. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Sigh, it's so nice to have found "my people."


message 368: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments Moderators, please know I will not complain if you add my fellow Whacky Mango-minded friend Oo to the Mango-Tango team :)

Stacie, it's nice we have our own little world, isn't it? :D

message 370: by Lára (new)

Lára Can I pleaseeee be in Forest Green? I know we´re not supposed to ...er, chose but please at least keep me in mind when selecting for that team? xD


message 371: by [deleted user] (new)

I just hope I am not on a team called magenta, can't stand that color.lol I also can't stand the color purple/lavender.lol


message 372: by Karla (new)

Karla I was hoping to be put on the purple team, but I just looked at the names of the team. I don't like the name for that color. The coolest names, in my opinion, are moonstone, electric lime, and mango tango.

My sister will NOT want to be on the tickle me pink team! She HATES pink!!


message 373: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't like pink either.lol Karla thank you.


message 374: by Jessica (new)

Jessica Wozniak (jeswoz) | 11 comments I'd like to join again!
How many books have you read in 2012? 100
How many books do you plan to read 2013 for the whole year, not just what remains? 200 is my personal goal but in round one I was given the goal of 67 books.
If you we're in round one, the percentage of goal reached would be appreciated if you know it? 70 percent
Would you be willing to be a team captain? As of right now I wouldn't be comfortable with that job.


message 375: by Donna (new)

Donna Wolczyk | 75 comments If we have already signed up here, do we just wait to receive a message telling us which team we are on? Or do we need to sign up again? I just want to make sure, thanks all!! :)

At this time there isn't a Forest Green team :(
I think it is being saved for people who join later on.


message 377: by Karla (new)

Karla So, I just finished a book, will it count towards the next round, even though I have not been assigned a group yet?

Jessica (W) (100), I received your request and put you on the waiting list. I might be able to squeeze you in before then, as someone drastically reduced their goal; however, you might not be with your old Team mates. We'll see.

Karla, yes your book will count. Anything FINISHED on April 12th or after will count.

If you have the same bookshelf name for both challenges, it will count towards both Rounds.

If you edit you bookshelf name it will carry over.


message 381: by Karla (new)

Karla Thanks for answering my question. I'm glad the book counts.


message 382: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments Karla, if you want to make a new bookshelf for this challenge with a color name you can do that too. Just add the book to it once you make it and set up your challenge and goodreads will count it since it was finished in the challenge dates. :)

Lisa Kay, don't forget that Karla mentioned liking the name Mango Tango... And she's finished a book already HINT HINT!!! Hahahahahaha :)

*giggles*


message 384: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments Hey, if the blue teams are gonna gang up, then I'm going to try everything I can without cheating or rule breaking to even the playing field! :)


ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 226 comments Blah, Goodreads was down for hours! Luckily, I had to work for a few of them but I kept refreshing like a fiend after I got home, hehe. Finally, it is back! I wonder if it was down for everyone (their Twitter said that they were down for "some" customers). So excited to start a new round of this reading fun, lol. The rivalry between the blues and Steven is cracking me up.


message 386: by [deleted user] (new)

What is taking so long?lol I am itching to get started.rofl

Wellllll Steven.....I'm kinda hoping not to be on a blue team if that gives you any encouragement at all :) and I have finished two books already working on my 3rd 4th and 5th as we speak LOL

Goodreads was down for a few hours today so that may have put a kink in the group set ups!

message 390: by Alexa (new)

Alexa | 118 comments Sorry if this has been answered but, I'm a bit confused.. First of all what's the "sister group" for? Are we going to use the threads there? And have we found our what team we're in yet?

Thank you for all your hard work!! :-)

Hi! Think I'm right about this.... The sister group's where we're signing up for the challenge and where the books are being kept track of and things (like we did on the main page of this group last round). There may be a few posts and things over there but the main discussion threads are in this group, in this folder.

Does that make sense?

Yay! Root for us, we have ninjas (apparently!)

ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 226 comments Round 2 Team Assignments are on This Page. (Click the spreadsheet to see where you are assigned).

See above. :) I posted the link around the same time as you posted this question. I found it by nosing around the main page of the Round 2 folder, hehe.


message 398: by Karla (new)

Karla Thanks Mods for putting my sister and me on the same team!

@Steven, I'll make the new bookshelf as soon as I can sign up for the challenge. I won't forget to put the book I finished on the shelf. I am on Mango Tango, so I guess the Mods listen to you. (We were also on the same team last round.)

Yes, Alexa, Claire is correct in Post #417.

Did you see where the hyperlink to the Google Spreadsheet is?

I thought so.

So, ❀Oo❀, are you at all interested in being Co-captain?
