November Word Puzzle Challenge -> Signup!
I'll give it a go.
Count me in too! I'm always up for your challenges Courtney and Jackie. :)
When will teams be made? :D
I'm hoping to get to them in the next day or so. If we don't have enough participants to do well with teams then I'll change some things around and update how it's being done. :)

So far it's seeming as if the teams will be a bit lopsided. Hopefully one more person signs up. :)
Worse case there could be a team with three and one with four or two teams of 2 and one of three. :/
I also might put myself on a team and then just have the team pick letters, since I obviously already know the quotes. :)

I'm going to try and get teams up tomorrow.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking--have one of us on a team to even things out.
Teams are now listed here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...Please check in by November 1st to confirm you are participating.
Is it too late to join, since teams have been assigned? Found out I'm going to have a lot more down/reading time in November than I thought
Nope! Kaylin, I will replace myself with you on Team Puzzler and then add my reviews to whichever team needs them as we go. (Or join a team if we have more people wanting to sign up.)
Is it too late to join? Not sure how I missed this. If so, no worries...
Of course you can join! You can join team Riddle. :)
I'd love to join, if it's not too late.
Great, Megan! You can join Team Puzzler.
If there's still a spot open, I'd like to joinbut I can also be a back up player, if needed too!
