That's so try Catherine LMBO
Yay! I was just looking here the other day to see any signs of Tower Teams coming back. I will need it because going back to school has kind of killed just sitting and reading for pleasure for me. So this is timed perfect for when I graduate. It will encourage me to read some print and ebooks. Right now I mostly do audios.

I had so much fun with the WOBBLE challenge that I can't wait for this to start. :D
I know, we can't use the "WOBBLE exhaustion" excuse forever right? I grew up with my uncles "making me" watch Star Wars. I still love the franchise, but my bread and butter will always be Indiana Jones. I can't count the times I watched The Temple of Doom. Kalima....Kalima...Be prepared to have your hearts ripped out and set on fire! haha jk, can't wait to see when the next Team Towers brings:)
So excited!I've been stalking the page since the Facebook announcement.
Whoo Hooo! I have never played Tower teams but I LOVE team challenges and I love Star Wars this is going to be great fun! When do you think you will start sign ups? I don't want to miss it. 8-)

Loved Tower IV and Wobble! Can't wait!
Laura wrote: "Sign ups really soon?"Yes.
I was planning on them being up sooner, BUT, with work stress and a meds re-calibration, the result was a nasty headache/migraine that lasted THREE DAYS!!!!!
Meaning when I finally got to the weekend... I was sore all over.. no pics were taken and... not much was done...
Anyway... worry not... worse case scenario, I'm not doing any fancy posts... BUT rules and sign-up form will go up this week. Promise.
I was also in the mod for a Rogue One watching but my sister complained that this month was a X-Men one, and that May was the Star Wars month.I even used the I needz inspiration for tower teams card. It didn't help that both video on demand and movie subscriptions were on her side (aka NO ROGUE ONE available) *pouts*

It will be announced on the newsletter, don't worry.
Yucky, hope you are feeling much better Sonia!!
@Mods: can you verify the end date, currently the rules state a start date of May 4th, duration 10 weeks, end date June 18th. That's only 6.5 weeks.

So how long is it actually going to last? 6 weeks does not seem very long.

Yeah, I was trying to do a mini-version... and I got all mixed up, when we were brainstorming, it was mentioned July, not June for the end date.
Since it's tower teams, might as well bite the bullet and end July 29th.
Okay... going to update it.

Yep, that about sums it up, LOL.
Um... could someone check and make sure I signed up? I remember filling out the form, but I don't remember hitting the submit button. ~sweatdrop~

Chewy! My favorite Star Wars character :-)
Signed up and while willing to be a co-captain my main weakness will be google sheets but have no problem doing all of the rest.
signed up and excited for another team challenge! Thanks Laura for letting me know when the sign-ups started!!
I am excited to participate in this challenge for the first time! Cant wait!
I'm also joining the party of course :) Signed up and ready to board!
I signed up this morning but I'm getting anxious about if you received it. At some point can you provide a list to know if you received it. Please excuse my neurosis:)My force be with you.

No problem
We're going to open sign-ups in one or two weeks - probably by google forms as usual... once we have enough members, we'll start working on the teams...
Our goal is to have them all ready to go one week prior to the challenge starting date, to allow for the captains to check everybody, and have spreadsheets and goodreads shelves all ready to go.
Usually is a quick and neat process, but RL decided to play with the mods for the last months... hence us to be so quiet for so long...
But, since the recovering from Wobble excuse can't be used forever... here we are, ready to get the party started!
