Yeah I've been feeling a little pewtered out. Hee hee.

Continuing on with the TTRC...

For those of you who want to finish what you started, we are leaving the Tower Team Reading Challenges threads, the "sister group," and Team Home Page Challenges open.

Some of you want to finish your Team Mini Challenges for November; some want to see what they can do towards reaching 1,350 (with or without BAPs); others want to go until the end of the year; and die-hards want to go until April, 2014!

Whatever you decide, as an individual Team or Team Member basis, is completely up to you. Even if you are the only Team Member interested in continuing, we're sure the other Teams will interact with you.

We, the Mods and Captain Paige, will do an informal update once a month.

Whatever you decided, remember to have fun! There will be much less pressure, definitely.

As far as Round III, we do NOT know when it will start, but it will NOT be in January. For the next Team Challenge, the other Mods want to do some type of board game that will last anywhere from one to several months.

[Karsyn]

Continuing? I'm up for it, anyone else? I'd definitely go through the end of the year. I'm glad to host some mini challenges and such for it all as well. Let me know if anyone wants to stick with Petwer Blue for a while with me.

[Mary X]

I don't mind participating if someone is willing to do the mini-challenges.

[Karsyn]

I definitely don't mind hosting. We can keep going on the Nov challenge and i can come up with something for Dec, and beyond, if wanted.

Congratulations to us!! 4th place is awesome!!!

I'm looking forward to a couple of months off from a team type of challenge but I do look forward to round 3, whatever it may hold.

I'll be popping in here to keep in touch, too.

I've had this weird foot issue for the past week and a half so I haven't been sitting at the computer for long periods of time and now am out of the loop with a lot of my GR groups. Sitting here just makes my foot ache and swell up a little bit so I am trying to just keep my foot elevated whenever I'm home. I can't do that at the computer desk, without being in an uncomfortable angle, blah.

[Andrea]

Yay team! We did great!!

I'll continue tagging books to the team shelf and might participate in some challenges - it will just depend on how busy I get.

[Lisa Kay]

Sorry about your foot, T! Hope it gets better soon.

[Vicky]

I'm up for sticking around and tagging books for fun, my reading got slow lately, I need to stay motivated! haha

[Riya]

I'm definitely going to keep going until the end of this year! Can't wait to see what Round III has in store for us- hopefully it'll come soon!!!

[Karsyn]

Everyone has been so quiet. Sorry that I have been, my computer want working for a few weeks. It was again for a bit, but now I am having trouble again. Sigh!

Anyways, I created a challenge for Dec if anyone would like to participate in it. I was going to link it, but my computer literally just stopped again before I started this post. It is over at our group page. I hope you all will like it.

[Mary X]

I'll check it out tomorrow. Just came home from a really long drive. I've just been really busy.

[Sarah]

I haven't been reading - I have been on a series marothon watching Breaking Bad.

[Riya]

Haha- I really need to watch that Sarah!!!

And I'll definitely check it out Brooke! I'm super excited because I'm at 99 out of 100 books for 2013! I've been reading a ton, so I'm going to go way over :)

[Mary X]

Hi guys. Just thought I'd click on some links and do an update. We are 1023 books.

[Sarah]

Back to reading - BREAKING BAD is over :-( It was amazing writing for a TV series and superb character development.

[Mary X]

Looks like I'll have more reading time now. My boyfriend dumped me over the phone this morning when he knew I was just about to leave for work. I'm more annoyed than heartbroken. He said it was because we never got to see each other enough but it was always him cancelling on me. Well I'm glad it happened now after 3 months before I got too attached to him. A few more weeks/months and I might have cried over the idiot.

[Lisa Kay]

Well, drat, Mary: HDLS! That sucks. Annoying little twerp. You're right, though. Better now than later.

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

Argh, a twerp, indeed! Grrr @ him for doing it just before you had to go to work. Sorry to hear about that, Mary, but like you said, better now than if you'd grown too attached. Well, he is no Harry Dresden, that's for sure!

[Lisa Kay]

**hee hee** That he isn't!

[Mary X]

Hi guys. Clicked all the links earlier today and we are up to 1057 books.

[Sarah]

I haven't added any lately but am about to finish a couple - and then hopefully start two more this week.

[Vicky]

Happy New Year, Pewter Blue! :) I hope everyone had a great end of the year.

What kind of reading plans does everyone have for 2014?

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

Hi, everyone!

[Riya]

Hey Teresa!!!!

[Sarah]

Hey peeps. Got a great start for the year - 10 books already.

[Riya]

nice Sarah! im also at a great start with like 18 I think?

[Vicky]

Hi! :)

My goal for the year is 120 books, so I'm attempting 10 books a month. I finished 10 in January, but I've been slacking this month and only have 1 so far. Whoops!

[Riya]

Haha good luck Vicky!!!

[Mary X]

I didn't notice anyone was still posting here. I am at 14 for the year but that includes a couple of shorties. That's actually low for me. I took up needlework again, I have one brother that's been very sick and another getting married. So lots of family stuff happening.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sorry about your sick brother, Mary: HD♥L. But congrats on getting a new sister-in-law.

~LK

[Mary X]

Yes we are all very excited about the wedding. The last wedding in our immediate family was when my mother and stepfather finally got around to getting married 15 years ago.

The sick brother has been an alcoholic and chain smoker for over 30 years and it's finally catching up to him as far as his health goes.
