Are You Interested in a Team Challenge?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi Everyone

We are thinking of doing a challenge (or more) where readers undertake the tasks of the challenge as a team. For the challenge in question, participants would be in teams of 4 readers.

I have done it in other groups and it is a great way to make friends and chat about books. Does this sort of interaction with other members interest you?

If you would be interested (or have a comment either way), please leave a note in this thread :)

Thanks!

I haven't done this but sounds interesting!

I've done this in other groups and really enjoy it. I've also been a team leader for this sort of challenge and thoroughly enjoyed that as well. So, if you want a team leader I'd be happy to be one.

One question: How many months do you see this challenge spanning? Is it going to be one, two, three or more months at a time?

[Breann]

I would be interested!

[Jaime]

sounds cool. I would like it.

Zara - I think we are throwing around a few different ideas right now...in other groups wehre i've done it - bingo type games - it has been anywhere from 4 weeks to several months

Thanks for getting back to me. I was just curious that's all.

[Dee]

basically that's my way of saying...we have no idea yet ;)

If we have enough interest we'll sort out a team challenge - we just have to work out when we would slot it in :) there is always so much going on here!

[Kristina Simon]

Depending on what other challenges I'm involved in when the challenge starts and what's involved, I'd probably be interested. How's that for wiffle-waffling? ;-)

[Lacy]

Sounds like fun...

[Ora]

Love to

[Skandia]

I'm definitely interested! I have played Bingo-type team games with other groups and they are lot of fun!

[Tina]

I'm in, I don't like bingo games on my own (to many books I want to read that don't always fit the catagories), but as a team sounds like fun!!

[Shannon]

Never did a team challenge. Might be fun.

I'm intrigued...I've got a good bit on my plate for January and March, but I could do a February starting one, otherwise I'll wait for next round!

[Carolyn F.]

I would be interested.

I like the team challenges but usually only do them if they aren't too restrictive as far as genre and time frame. (I read pretty quickly so to me a restrictive time frame would be like more than 2 books in one week).

I've done a couple that were point based and several factors of the book and not sure I would do one like that again. It got really tiring at the end to find books that met all the requirements for points and I felt like I would be letting my team down if I didn't at least try to read one for max points. Not sure I would do one like that again.

Hi Mary - the team event we're thinking of doesn't have points at this stage (they could be added in or not, depending on feedback ;), and gives choice in reading, and no more than one book per week.

There is enough interest that we will give this a go :)

We just have to work out the timing now.

[Elke]

Sounds interesting!!

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

I'm interested!

[Tori]

I'm interested! It sounds fun.

[Sera]

I've never done a team challenge, they always seem to have started just before I find them.

I'm interested!

[Lisa]

Sounds like a challenge I would like to be a part of

[Rosina]

Sounds like fun I am interested

[Gemma]

Sure I'm interested, but I'm curious of how we will talk to each other, will it be over Goodreads???
(I'm new so I don't know about these groups yet)

[Dee]

Gemma - each team will have a thread in the game folder to chat etc

[Gemma]

Ok, thanks for telling me. I just didn't know because I've only just joined Goodreads this past few weeks. I'll get the hang of it soon enough.

[CallMeVal]

I'd like to do a team challenge.

Hi,my name is crissy. I just joined the group and I am interested in doing the team challenge.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Excellent Crissy! I'll get back with the mods and get into some planning :)

[Shan ~A~]

It seems fun. I see that they have a team challenge in another group that I just joined and the teams earn points and also bonuses are offered throughout the year.

[Lisa]

Keep me in the loop. I too am fairly new to goodreads and just made my first friend.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Lisa :)

[Angi]

Sounds interesting...I'd give it a try!
