I would cast Forgetfulness Charm but little pixies misplaced my magic wand.

No bigfoots or unicorns. It wouldn't be fair. Unicorns always win.

Tati | 1350 comments Put me down for Here Be Dragons or Nessie LOL


message 954: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Ahahahah

Well... Nessie is kinda shy, her pics are always a blur.


message 955: by Tati (new)

Tati | 1350 comments Never really cared about unicorns, tbh. I've always liked dragons (in case I haven't made that obvious yet). I mean, they fly AND spew fire! What's not to like? LOL

Unicorns are just... pretty LOL

I've changed your preference. You had down "Doesn't Matter" and weren't on a particularly chatty team. Will change that. :)

I'm not good with being patient... Ha!

Dragons are all kinds of awesome. But, there are other great things too. I keep hearing Reading Like a Banshee during team challenges.

Oh, and Harpies, never forget the Harpies.

Crystal Balboni (pastryandprimer) | 766 comments Most air creatures freak me out. When I see a bird I can't help but think about bird mites, flus, and plagues! I know this is odd. And very inconvenient since at any given time there are atleast 5 birds in my front yard. Sometimes up to 200 when the quail reproduce. eww.

Weird rant. Anyways I am excited about any of the teams, even the air animals! Bats are one of my favorite creatures and they fly :)

Looks like we're all in the same boat because I'm DYING to know what team I'm on! I'm the most impatient person and I'm so excited for some pre-start team chat!


message 967: by Tati (new)

Tati | 1350 comments I'm on that boat as well!

I'm going to go with manticores or centaurs.

I'm legit terrified of every bird possible. I had a parakeet seemingly dive bomb my head when I was 10 and I have had an irrational fear of all birds ever since.

Suzanne | 5417 comments I was just thinking today that things like this challenge reminds me of when I was a child waiting for Christmas - it was just SO HARD to wait! Haha and the poor mods are probably like me as a parent when Christmas is zooming towards me and I have so much to do to prepare!!

Crystal Balboni (pastryandprimer) | 766 comments Diane, I am glad I am not the only one! Sorry about your tramatic incident. I shriek when birds fly near me, my husband thinks it's hillarious. Not so much for me! I am sure you relate.

All Captains & Co-Captains have now been notified. Some of you will have to accept friendship from this Mod account.


message 979: by Tara (new)

Tara | 1259 comments I think the dive bombing bird would be a pretty scarring event too! I still remember being about 6 or 7 and sitting out on the front steps at the apartment complex we lived in! I got bright purple bird poo dropped on me! The bird apparently had been enjoying the berries of a local tree and decided I was a good target to aim at! 35+ years later and it still gives me the creeps!!!


message 980: by Diane Woods (new)

Diane Woods | 352 comments Crystal, boy do I. I had a cat at one time and I would ask (beg!) the pet store to put the parrots and cockatoo (both demon birds if you ask me) in their cages before I could even go in the store. Oddly enough, I love all types of snakes. People think that is weird for some reason. I don't understand it. *shrugs shoulders*

I'm not really scared of birds per se, I just don't like them. My dad used to keep homing pigeons and when one of them would hurt a wing or leg, he'd make me hold it while he doctored it. It was just so icky to feel that fragile body in your hands with its heart beating 285. I'd cry & cry -- he'd just tell me to stop and hold it steady.
My dislike started to make sense when Jurassic Park explained that birds are descended from reptiles!

Laurence Bastien | 92 comments If we are captain or co captain we will receive the information in private message? And for the teams will we receive the name of our partners in private message too?


message 983: by Tati (new)

Tati | 1350 comments I'm not fond of birds either, ever since a toucan attacked my hair...


message 984: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments I've decided I would like to be on a chatty team. Whats the point of a team challenge if you don't talk to your teammates? lol


ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 226 comments Make sure you check your Groups tab to see if you received an invite to the Captains group.

Agreed! I love me some chatty teams! :) I'll be switching you out from your current team to something potentially more chatty. :)


message 987: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (boydsmom) | 1377 comments I can't remember whether I put chatty or not, but if I didn't can you still switch me to a chatty team? Thanks, and excited to get started.


message 988: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (chelsbee) | 66 comments Gahhh, I have been silent in here because posting and reading it too much would just make me so antsy! I want to know my team so badly!

You said YES to a chatty team, and it seems to me a pretty good one for that. Definitely a good category for it! ;)

I like snakes and reptiles too! Even spiders but not bugs with an exoskeleton.

Once, while I was walking outside, a junebug flew INTO the lens of my glasses. I'm amazed I didn't smash them. I was literally jumping around in circles, slapping my face and trying to get it off!

I think I want to be on a chatty team as well. If that is still possible, of course.

Rebecca (rebeccaemma) | 85 comments Hi all!

I've signed up for this challenge and I'm a bit nervous!!

This is my first bit of activity in this group and hence my very first challenge. I probably average about 1.5 books a week so I'm fairly confident that I should be able to meet the requirements.t I'm a mum of three and work full time so as long as I don't have to read War and Peace in seven days she'll be right!


message 999: by Christine PNW (new)

Christine PNW (moonlight_reader) So, is it still possible to request to be on the same team as a friend? I wasn't paying attention when I filled out the form, and forgot to ask! Would I PM someone?

Yeah, you can PM me and I will see what I can do. I can't make promises but I will try.
