It definitely is. But be aware, if you aren't already, uno will get you addicted to reading challenges ;-)
It's so nerdy, but I am so excited for this. It's my first challenge, but I'm totally-super-completely down and committed to the cause. My read count of 4-a-month is definitely my very low estimate, but I was afraid to give a number I couldn't commit to. But! I can and do read more regularly.
Super pumped.

That is the best possible result from my comment. I am now listening too.... Thanks for the inspiration!...

I just signed up and I hope that another team opens up! Nice to meet all of you. =]
We have enough new sign-ups for another team, but I'm holding off on making it for the moment while we chase up the missing members for existing teams. We will give them a few more days and then those that are still MIA will be replaced and we will let everyone that signed up as 'reserves' know which teams you are on. This will be done with plenty of time before the start of the challenge (March 1):)
Phweeeee. That's pretty exciting. It's a bit disturbing how pumped I am.
The following players have been sent PMs (where their profile accepts messages). You need to check in to your team by 20th February, or we will assume you have decided not to play and replace you with a new player . Please check in before then, or if you miss the deadline but still wish to play, just send me a message and I'll put you on a reserves list.

I'll be adding people to existing teams where there is space and creating new teams from the 20th which gives you time to get settled before the challenge starts on March 1 :)

Share your passion for books
To get to know each other and share our passion for books we'd like you to share a book memory, write a couple of lines, what it meant to you, did a book change your life? Why do you always re-read the same book, which is you best book and why. What you share can be anything and everything. You are what you read and we want to get to know you.
Post your memory here: Share a book memory
(Don't forget to add your team name when you share)
Current Points SpreadsheetNote: Current Points is only as up to date as the captains are at updating their spreadsheets
Some Captains update daily, others weekly, or somewhere in between!
Some only count points when hands are completed, others count points for all books as soon as read
So just use this as a guide as to where your team is up to :)
