Our Next TEAM Challenge is...........?
I am hoping it is not ALL about reading discworld Novels - if it is I might have to bow out because I simply do not get them

Having said that, I would have NO objections to bonus points for reading Discworld books personally, lol.
Mod
no? just me?"
Please don't worry! We want this to be a challenge that everyone can get involved with, so even 2 books a month is good.
Mod
You'll be able to go through the entire challenge as an active & contributing member of your team without reading a single Discworld book.

I am so glad not to be the only one relieved by this news.
Sorry Sammy.
Looking forward to the new challenge.
I will read the Discworld books so others don't have to. Ignore the fact that I actually want to, and chalk it up to being a team player.

Random question that's not about a Team Challenge but...@Mods, will there be a DEAR Day on 12 April this year?
I'm looking for a good excuse to take a whole day off work. :D

Yay! Thank you!
I feel in the vast minority that I’ve never heard of Discworld. I’m off to look it up now!
I've heard of it and Caroline keeps telling me to read it...I guess I will when TT starts!

Also, don't you mean Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooook! lol! ;)
And in the meantime, I'm sitting here reading my book thinking to myself "ohhhh, broccoli can be good in a quiche or a curry!"*headdesk*

Oh same Sammy... it's been months and I still notice the foods.....
OH GOD ME TOO. I wish the food thing would stop in my brain! And I didn't even play for the entire game!
Oh me too. Glad I'm not the only one. Does this mean that there may be a My Restaurant Rocks Round 2, hee hee?

Me too... I still get really excited when I see vinegar...
My brain was so alert to food words that it hasn't caught on yet that it doesn't need to be anymore. :-P My first instinct is to write down food words every time I hear them.
I wonder how much longer we'll be stuck in this mrr aftermath haha!

I still get excited when I find the word "Topiary" in a book and that was from way back in WOBBLE 5 years ago hahaha
Megan don’t traumatize everyone with mention of the game which shall not be named!!!! Lol

I know right! When I was making my shelf for this challenge I saw my Wobble shelf and it said 2016!!
I liked Wobble as well, a true masterpiece ! I remember that I loved the team names.
Steven wrote: "Megan don’t traumatize everyone with mention of the game which shall not be named!!!! Lol"Hahaha I'm sorry! I absolutely loved Wobble but I can see how it could be a bit traumatising too xD
I joined right after Wobble. I have a feeling it would have been fun. And terrifying for a newbie.
I joined right before Wobble but was too scared to sign up for it then cause it looked... wild...
Hahaha Megan I was just kidding. I’m close friends with one of the former NBRC mods and she jokes about calling it “the challenge that shall not be named.” I didn’t play, but I bet for the players it was fun. I think it almost destroyed the mods’ sanity.
Wobble was so much fun, but I can definitely see how it could have made the mods maniac. ;)
I know we're still in the middle of TT, but may I ask if there are plans for wheel this year as well? 😇 I need to plan ahead haha!
Mod
too soon Christina! try this time next month! ;D

haha okay! I'll keep my fingers crossed then!
Funnily enough I was just looking through some old TTs - I first joined for the HP one 3 years ago and then also did the 7 Sins one two years ago. I loved every single one of them, also the wheels (wheel'o'brown is when I first started those I think, and that was hilarious :D), but the HP one just gave me so much nostalgia 😭
The effort ya'll put into all those team challenges is intense, I'm not surprised you don't wanna think about wheel yet haha!

OK, it's 'this time next month; any news on the next team challenge? Please?
