Team C AKA Chattering Book Addicts Crushes The Competition
Ok, thanks Sarah. Now all I have to do is get them all read!
I had just updated our link when the construction crew up the street cut my internet!!! It was fine today but thank goodness it didn't happen during Toppler week.:)

Well the Toppler starts on Saturday here...and no construction ever takes place on a weekend here so I know we are safe at least for the first two days. They were actually pretty sheepish about it- I felt a little bad because some people were losing their mind!
Elsbeth wrote: "Do you have an ereader, Cherie? You can do..."I have a Nook, Elsbeth. Thanks for the link for storycartel. I will check it out.
Heading to the library today to pick up the rest of my books for the challenge!!
I'm done with jury duty - yay! So will try for my books noted as tentative 'til now on our sign-up sheets. I have 3 of my 6 books from the library. Starting to get worried about the other 3 holds. I'm number one in line and they're not checked out. Don't know what the deal is!! Will talk to librarian tomorrow.
I have my books gor game one on top of my to read pile and I'm excited. I have 3 of my game 2 books set as well. Still need to make a library run though.
One of my books wasn't in yet so I'll be making one more trip to the library before I'm quite ready!
My books are stacked in a neat pile or on my Kindle.... I am going to read a nice easy book Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened this week before the Toppler. I am very excited for my first Toppler read which is also one of the monthly book reads The Art of Racing in the Rain. The group discussion thread is taunting me :)
I have my Baby book The Cradle and my Married book The Hours, but I'm rethinking the Drinking one. I think Long Day's Journey Into Night is a better fit than Wishful Drinking. It's 176 pages and the reviews indicate a lot of drinking. Plus it's available at my library so I can pick it up tomorrow on my way home from work.
Good to see everyone is getting there books up together ready to start. I have my kindle and I need to pack my print book The Gunslinger just in case I finish the other one during the week.
Thanks Peggy! We fly tomorrow and I'm really excited!
Tejas Janet the 3 we put you down for are Vacation - 5 points, Get Remarried (fresh start) - 5 points both on Sheet 1. And New job for 5 points on sheet 2.I remember you mentioning others, please confirm:
Colour in title (or Childhood), Drinking in it and another Vacation. Is that right?

Thanks Janice! I've got to go work in a bit which is a bit annoying - I just want to go on holiday now not tomorrow especially as it's a bit cold, wet and dreary here at the moment. Bring on the sun!

Yes, correct...
So looks like I'm all set for my first 3 books.
4th book - for "College/3 Points/Drinking in it" - looks like you can change me from purple to red : ) on sheet 2 to show that I'm confirmed for it.
5th book - for "Go on Vacation" (another one, as you note), looks like it fits in on sheet 3 for "Read book that takes place in a foreign country" for 5 Points.
6th book - looks like can fill empty spot on sheet 3 -
Either for "Childhood/3 Points/YA book"
Or for "Lose Job/3 Points - book title has color in it."
Hope I have this all straight. Thanks!

I'm so excited, I think I have found another book =D But it doesn't exactly fit anywhere other than Lottery so we'll see. It'll be an extra if I have time =]
I'm packing my backpack for the 3-day music festival I'm going to tomorrow, and I didn't forget my book! I'm not sure if I'll read there, but you never know...
Ooh have fun Peggy =D if not you still have the other 4 days to get your book in.I'm so excited, I can't wait to start. Is everyone ready for the toppler tomoz?
I'm all set. All my books are in a pile by my chair just waiting for me!
Hehe =] I have my 3 copies on the shelf ready and 1 on the kindle app >.< I'm so excited, I'm wishing the day away lol. I still have to finish my 2 books on the go at the moment, but nearly there.
24 hours!!!It is always good to have an extra book just in case Sarah :)
Have fun Peggy.
Ready also. One audio book loaded on my IPOD, one e-book on my kindle, one e-book on my IPAD, and one in hardcover. So I am ready to read wherever I am. Also have several extra books on kindle available if I get the four ones I have committed to finished. How did we ever read without technology?
AAAh, I'm not ready....!! I can never finish the book I'm reading on time... So hopefully I can still remember everything when I start again after a week...Looking forward to this! I also have a spare-book (for 'making a fresh start' or 'a new job'), just in case I finish these 3 faster than I now think...
Ga je naar Pinkpop, Peggy? Veel plezier en voel je absoluut niet schuldig wanneer je niet aan lezen toe mocht komen!
So, everyone: have a good nights sleep (while you still can...) and have lots of fun with all your books! Happy reading!

I should be able to finish my one book tonight, but I have 4 hrs on my audiobook to finish. That will have to wait until after the toppler.
So excited! Gonna try and get a lot done this weekend, at least three books, probably four and go from there. Have fun Peggy. :)
Yay, have all my books now. Was still missing one, but bought it for the bargain price of $3 on Kindle today.I was next in line to borrow it from the library - but no telling when it will actually become available since the current borrower still has it checked out.
And YAY - finished up my last book for Mickey Mouse's Marchers today!
Is the link to the spreadsheet the latest doc in message 1? If I have time to read another book during the week I will check to see which slots need to be filled and read one of those.
Started reading....if I have time which I just might I might be able to fit another book in...
I don't think you can start yet Angie.. We all start at the same time; EST Noon. My time GMT will be 17:00. So another hour and 36 mins.
And Lilisa, yep that is the latest update =]
Are we allowed to start reading? Not trying to be snarky, but I thought we had to wait until noon edt, or is it noon in our time zone?
Yes Jkmays it is Noon EDT, so we have to wait just a little longer. I'm growing impatient lol. So mooching for ebooks =P
Glad to see everyone has itchy feet!

Do you have an ereader, Cherie? You can download it for free from www.storycartel.com! - for another 8 days - in exchange for your review. That's where I got it.
