[Krista]

I'd love to be part of this!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Woohoo - some old hands and more newbies! Welcome everyone!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Just a reminder to everyone that you need to have books on your 'read' list AND RATED so that your teamies can use Option 2 if needed. It's no fun if one of your team mates doesn't want to chose a book from the called theme, but they also can't use any of your books.

If using option 2, your teamies can only pick books rated 3 stars or higher. They also can't be more than 6 months old. So if you haven't rated your books, please go back for the last 6 months and give them a rating.

Ha - Don't ya just love how that works!!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi Katherine - great idea! but we don't really need any more themes. I'll remember it for next time it's applicable :)

[Alexa]

I've been meaning to try this challenge for awhile, but I've been so busy. Now that life is calming down I'm in.

[Berit☀️✨]

I will join, never played this before, didn't even know it existed, thanks to Nichole I do now, and I see a lot of familiar faces :-)

Thanks Jane, I love this challenge! Although I'm always a bit anxious, in which team I will end. ;) I hope I have luck again and get allocated in a team with other mm readers. *fingers crossed*

Sorry Justme - I haven't updated the list for a few days but I haven't forgotten you :) When I posted last night's welcome I was on my phone and then I realised that I missed a 'welcome' to a few of you. It doesn't mean I've missed you though!

So welcome to a new challenge Justme, and welcome back Kathy and Karen :D

I don't think you need to worry - there are plenty in this challenge!

[GreenFairy]

Whew! I had computer problems last week, my laptop no longer wanted to do anything I wanted or needed it to do. So I have a brand new, pretty, functional, kickass laptop now :D I didn't miss the start!

A head's up...for whatever team I am assigned to, I won't be available Friday evening when teams are announced but I'll be checking it bright and early (by 7 am EST most likely) on Saturday morning.

Such a bummer when the computer goes 'black screen of death' or equivalent on you!

...For a minute I wondered if I'd missed allocating out the teams!! *phew* ~ still another couple of days for sign up!

[GreenFairy]

Oh, I didn't get a black screen. Basically, 148GB hard drive doesn't support a whole lot anymore. I just kept getting (Not Responding), unable to load, or error messages. I knew the end was coming. It was about 10 years old, considered a good laptop then. I could have upgraded the hardware but I needed 4 different pieces and just one cost the same amount of money as my new laptop.

You're good, Jane! Though if I wake up Saturday and it's not done, I might harass you :D

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

LOL - I totally expect that!!

[Justme]

Ok! So, newbie question...do we get mail or just have to keep coming here for updates?

The themes will be announced in the Q&A thread each week - here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Once we get started, the Q&A thread is pretty much where all the action happens :D

Hi Jane!!! I've been hearing so much about this challenge. No time like the present to give it a go.
