Hope you have fun!

@Berit & Tamika, I can't believe this is your first time playing! Its such a fun challenge. I hope you like it!

[Berit☀️✨]

@ Heather, I'm excited, because you know I need another challenge ;-)

[Raine]

I'm in!

[Natalie]

I'm in! I've never played before so I should not be captain.

[Sally906]

I would like to put my hand up for this challenge.

I am a Pass the Parcel virgin - so need to go on a team with a mature captain who will lovingly guide me through my first experience making it so pleasurable I will be yearning for more. In return I read books as I am directed and will give my devotion and obediance to the team and team captain.

(ok stop laughing those who know me - you know who you are - I can too do as I am told - I can totally do obediance)

[Berit☀️✨]

Lmao

Welcome Natalie and Sally - hope you have fun (and are obedient of course) :D And welcome back Raine!

Okay, I've gone through the lists in the categories and picked the books I'll be reading, except for the one where someone else has to pick it for me and one where I couldn't find anything I own that I haven't read on the lists. I've got at least one m/m and m/f picked out for each category...bring on the challenge!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Sounds very organised beppy. I sort of half manage to do that when I do similar challenges but its never more than 'loose' ideas of what I might read :D

[Justme]

I sort of half manage to do that

Phew...I was sort of "Shitake mushrooms, am I supposed to be doing that?!!!"

[GreenFairy]

So many newbies! And there's plenty of us veterans who can help guide them. Some of us have done this challenge since Jane first came up with the idea.

Newbies, you'll have a blast! This is one of my two favorite challenges in the group.

I'll give it a shot and see if I become addicted like I know other people are!!! LOL.

Well, I like to pretend to be organized. Of course, by the time the category gets called, I may have read my chosen book, or decided that I don't feel like reading it, so then all bets are off.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

*nods* yep - sounds about right ;)

[Stacie]

Tamika convinced me to sign up again :)

BTW - I borrowed this idea from the MMR group and then tweaked. I just have to put that out there ;) It's really a bingo, but with a fixed length/deadline for all teams :D

And then there's me...I probably should at least read through the categories before the first round is announced, right?!?

Thanks Captains...

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I'm actually going to be allocating out the groups a bit before sign ups close, but I'll put anyone who signs up through to the official time into a team once I return from my activities ;)

[Louise]

I'd like to play :)

[Pam]

I am so impressed that there are people who actually do long-range planning. I sure don't except for the last week.

[Justme]

Even if I do...things happen. I just had a visit & tomorrow all my plans have changed. But the good news is I should have a toilet within a few days, woohoo! We've been working on new plumbing since a flash flood hit us in 2013...so we'd only plumbed the ground floor...it looks like the second floor gets plumbed now and I won't have to run downstairs x times a night! Sorry, tmi. Only the toilet though. I'm trying to convince my extra special handy dude we can fit a shower, but we'd have to use the sink drain. For some reason the bathroom sinks are last on the list. We still have the bath tore up downstairs because the plan is to relocate the toilet & replace all the outgoing plumbing, but he keeps putting that off...

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

All updated through to Louise. Let me know if I've missed you on the list at msg 5.

[GreenFairy]

I think this is the biggest sign ups you've had. Or close to it!

As I said earlier, sign ups remain open for another 34 minutes...

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

For those in teams 3 and 5, please hang off on commenting until your captain arrives in your threads and claims some of the beginning posts.

[Heather]

Jane, Team 7 & 8 are a little messed up, I think. (As far as post 6 goes) I am not sure which I should be on.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I think they are right now Heather... Let me know if its still silly.
