I will be at work when the threads open so the mods were kind enough to let me reserve a few posts now. :) I suspect most captains will post a little closer to the team announcement.

*deflates a bit* LOL

[Kazen]

No deflating allowed around here!

~plugs the hole with silly putty~

[Karsyn]

Captains are excited too! Others have been reserving spots as well.

If all captains are able to reserve today or early tomorrow, then getting teams up tomorrow will be really quick and everyone will be ready to chatter away! :D

[Tati]

You read that, captains? Get a move on LOL

[Srividya]

Wow!!! The team names are awesome!! :D

[♦Ashley♦]

[Megan]

Gah this is my first reading challenge and I'm so excited! All the team names are super awesome too!

eek!

[Kerri]

Every single one of those team animals sounds awesome :D I got more and more excited as I went down the page. Leafy Seadragons? Dire Wolves?! Tapirs?!?

Random fact, I wrote a paper about tapirs in grade school that won some sort of award. I've loved the little guys ever since, lol.

[Eldarwen]

Haha that's awesome, Kerri!
Who knows, maybe you'll end up in the Tapir team?? :-)

a mermaid lion? Some how different then a sealion which looks nothing like a mammal lion?

Tati wrote: "Just a completely random fact: tapirs, in Brazilian Portuguese, are called "antas", which is also an insult that means that someone is stupid."

Aww poor tapirs! I think they are awesome though I know nothing of their intelligence level :P

I would definitely be okay with that :) Of course, I love all animals, so I'm pretty good wherever I end up!

[Crystal]

ooh so 24 teams! That's huge. The only team name that freaks me out a bit are the Terror Birds. EEKKK! That just sounds...well, terrible and terrifying. These are awesome and now I am more excited :)

I was all over that earlier and reserved my captain post spots right away.

Not that I'm excited to start or anything . . .

[♞ Pat]

I'm waiting for my thread to get open so I can reserve my captain posts. It's a process. ;-)

[Tati]

I'm so anxious to find out which group I'm in it's not even funny anymore

[Kate]

It's going to be late at night here when they finally put up the teams. I'm definitely not going to sleep until I found out where I belong!!

[Kerri]

Less than a day away! I've never been so excited for a Wednesday.

[Tati]

11 down, 13 to go! LOL

[Karsyn]

Tati wrote: "11 down, 13 to go! LOL"

You can put me into that tally. I'll be going last to reserve my spots. :)

[Alison]

I've got my posts reserved so I'm good to go. Just want to meet my team and get chatting now.

[Tati]

Now that Pat has reserved her posts, we're 12 down, 12 to go (not counting Karsyn). If we count her, then it's 13 down, 11 to go

This is getting real LOL"

where are the team threads at?

[Alex]

Oh gosh, as soon as all the threads are fully open tomorrow there's going to be some chaos! Better not set notifications to instant emails haha.

[Tati]

@Marguerite, the folder is here:

If Goodreads crashes tomorrow, I think I'll know why :)

Oh geez, and I'd cry! I'm so excited to officially meet my new team!

Thank you!!! Now if only the team members were listed.smile Going by the list I hope I am on Flying Squirrels (Hubby gave me nickname of six squirrels when we first met). Terror Birds or Burning Firebirds, Snow Leopards or Green Dragons (Hubby has a few dragon statutes) to name a few. But I know what ever team I will be on it will be very chatty!!!!!

[Tati]

Alas, we still have a few hours to go before teams members are uploaded...

The squids are still shy, as none of the squid threads have been updated by the captains yet. I reckon it takes some time to emerge from the deep seas LOL

[Karsyn]

LOL! The Bobtails did. The other captains may be in timezones that don't allow them online yet. ;)

(and perhaps, just perhaps, one of the Sea Teams is mine. shhhhhh you didn't hear that from me.)

[Tati]

Well, as EST time is only one hour behind me, I won't have a long wait for that spreadsheet. That must be the most anticipated spreadsheet ever]

[Suzanne]

Hawaiian Bobtail squids have a natural stealthiness - that's why you didn't see it :)

[Suzanne]

(That is a fun and actual Hawaiian Bobtail Squid fact by the way - they can "disappear" from predators.)

Aren't animals cool?

[Tati]

Ah, sneaky! LOL

To be honest, I don't think I'd ever see a squid, as I tend to avoid the sea LOL

[[deleted user]]

I just looked at all the teams and no list of team members on any of them.lol smile

[[deleted user]]

Please, please, please tell us who is on all the teams!!!!! What's a few hours early.smile rofl

[Diane Woods]

Okay I finally got all my books written down. Now to erase everything off my shelves and redo the whole thing before this challenge get actually starts. Whew!

[Amy J.]

Although I'll love whatever team I'm placed on, based on names alone I'd like to be on either the Tapirs (my favorite animal) or the Draco Lizards (I met Tom Felton at ComiCon a couple of weeks ago)

[Miranda]

can't wait... kinda hoping I'm red panda love those things..so exciting

That sounds like a lot of work!

[Crystal]

Even when we get our teams we still have a week and a half before WOBBLE begins :( pooey. It will be nice to get to know everyone though. I hope we have a little time to get some books lined up for the challenges. I've been waitlisting various ebooks from the library and checking out different options so I can make sure to have something that will work the very first day :) Not that I don't have tons of books already I can read... hehe.

[Lauri]

You guys are hilarious! It doesn't matter where we end up really! I already know that this will be a total blast! Thank goodness I'm on vacation!

[Delitealex]

Can't wait to see what team I'm on. So excited :)

[Ashley]

I wish I was on vacation!! I didn't read a single word from a book yesterday :o Just too busy :(

[Maddie]

When do we get teams?

[Jessie]

I can barely handle my excitement. Legitimately might not be able to sleep tonight.

[Jen]

Tomorrow, Wednesday the 8th, sometime before 10a Eastern Time in the United States. Watch for an announcement in this thread about "The Spreadsheet," which will list your team assignments. :-)
