This sounds terribly like hurt pride.

Not a bit. I bow to your persuasion skills.

ahhh.... a spot of the envious green-eyed monster perhaps
Oh, I totally envy the power of the mods....and am equally scared of it...
Sometimes I feel like we're all just gluttons for punishment on these Tower Teams challenges. I'm considering signing up even though I'll be moving AND going on an anniversary trip during it... because I hate missing out on TT.

I mean this in all seriousness, You mods of the NBRC should be proud as hell. One mention of another Tower Teams challenge, and you have so many people excited and impatient for the fun. Bravo.

This graphics make me think Hunger Games....

Hahah, I know EXACTLY what that image is.
Tati wrote: "me thinks seven deadly sins"I've seen lots of words expressing this thrown around. Even threw one in myself :P
I'm pretty sure it is the colors of the 7 deadly sins..... the colors/pic matches this....Greed - Wrath - Vanity - Envy - Lust - Gluttony - Sloth
Making mental notes of colored covers just in case...
wonder if it will just be 7 weeks then. that would stop it from getting too close to christmas ...

No, don't answer that, my tender feelings can't cope with the cruel light of truth you'd shine our way!

First off, it's in Karen's other group (Perks of Being a Book Addict), not here.
Generally it's Feb - April, and it's a lot of fun
We all know the chipmunks aren’t garden variety sweet Disney Chip and Dale. They’re cruel torturers that we love dearly even as we are tormented. #stockholmsyndrome

You know how many points are usually on offer for chatting about books, so make sure it's one you like the look of & vote ;-P
Oh, and we are after nominations for an October Backroom BOM...
are there going to be a lesser number of points for informal buddy reads again as well or was that just something you guys were trying out for last year's tower teams? it was my first one so i wasn't sure how much was the same every year and how much changes.
i call dibs on Steven for my TT team! YOU ALL SAW IT! I CALLED DIBS FIRST!

Well... That still leaves your answer open to interpretation... Are you lusting after, or being the "lusting after" police? I really hope you are not intimating that we are to start behaving ourselves or something.
Jenny wrote: "we are to start behaving ourselves or something"I don't think you would be able to even if you tried!
I'd say you are challenging me, but in this case, I don't think I want to accept the challenge. I'll go stand in the corner instead, and think about what I have done.
...and what I plan to do,,,mwahaha.
Are you saying you're going to poke the bear?Oh dear...
Jenny, poke the bear! Poke the bear!!!
Hold on, a chipmunk with a superiority complex? Now you are a bear? Roar!!!!!
(Bears are wonderful, much maligned creatures who need our love. From afar). (Also, I am pretty sure they are ticklish. Hmmm).

I notice Jenny isn't standing face into the corner, but has wedged herself in securely, protecting her back and appears to be building a book fort in front.... definitely hatching some sinister plot there!
She's just building her Tower for Tower teams, Cat. No need to investigate. Nothing sinister. Promise.(Jenny, do you think she bought it?)
Fingers crossed. Hopefully she hasn't noticed the burning oil pots and the trebuchet.

*clutches pearls, faints*
@Cat: no need to overreact dear... you know how a good defenestration makes my day complete.Pretty sure that so called tower teams has to have a window or two that are perfect for it.
Note to self. Remember to confiscate pearls. And fill the fire buckets.

Well the lure of whiskey is maybe the next best thing to Harry Potter, and there won't be any Harry Potter this year, so.
