I agree with Chris. Be great if you could let me know if you received the sign up form. Thanks!

IMPORTANT

Your Goodreads user name is "number-name" You can find it by clicking on your profile and then in the URL you will see https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4...
where the numbers and words after "https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/" are your username.

We have a lot of members. If you don't give us your username it can be VERY difficult (sometimes impossible) to find you! For those where the username is not in the right format, this will be highlighted on the sign up spreadsheet.

Done!

[Parker]

I think I got a little over zealous with how many books I read! I put 140, but looking back over my history it averages closer to 110. Looks like my dreams were a bit bigger than reality!

I'm sign up on line 92 - Parker, if it matters :) Really excited to try my first Team Tower!

[Tavia]

I just signed up and I'm really excited! I have a questions though! Will the team members be required to read the same books? Just curious

[Jen]

I was so excited to see that a new Tower Teams challenge is going to happen soon. I "read" the newsletter in the app - no pictures or text, but the Facebook link was there! Clicked the link, saw the TTV post, and now I'm all signed up!

:-)

I have only participated once before. In our group the only books we read that were the same was the book of the month, it is a lot of fun:)

Okay that makes sense. Thanks!

[Catherine]

Hey..can I still sign up? Am I too late? If i am allowed....I can't so the sign up sheet on my phone.
..and I don't have a desktop....I can give you all the info here, though.

Thanks

[Michelle]

I love these challenges and am excited to join in again!

I meant to put 'Doesn't Matter' for my response to a chatty team though and accidentally hit 'No' instead. Can this be changed please?

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

I've seen it come around the last couple of years but never joined. I'm going to jump on the band wagon space ship this time!

Nope. You read whatever you want :D

Sure. Just type it in and all add it :D

[Sonia]

Welcome aboard everybody!!!!

Sonja, Can you change my sign up form to say that I am willing to be a Captain? It currently says just co-captain but if you end up with a lot of people and you need more teams I am willing to give Captain a go. Thanks! CalyD

Cool thanks! I may just need a little coaching on dealing with the spread sheets but I am excited for this challenge.

We have a spreadsheet sheet code :D

Which reminds me I need to put the Q&A thread up.

*looks around*

Yeah... doing that at the workplace can be... tricky... I'll do it later :D

[Kaity]

Just signed up, I'm so excited! :) This will be my first time playing.

[Maddie]

So we just count every book we read, right? There are no tasks that need completion like Wobble last year?

[Sonia]

Maddison wrote: "So we just count every book we read, right? There are no tasks that need completion like Wobble last year?"

No tasks. After wobble we thought a straight forward challenge would be best.
We might have a dark vs light event, but no specifics yet, and it won't last more than a few days.

We're trying to get as fuss-free as possible.. Just read.

[Maddie]

Alright :)

[Emelie]

YAAAAY. Have read every newsletter hoping the Tower Team would be announced and FINALLY. So ready for this.

[Rebecca]

Yayyyy I'm so excited!! My reading has dropped so dramatically recently and I'm hoping this can help me step it up! And it's been sooooo long since I've done a challenge.

[Mary X]

I just did the questionnaire.

[Mary X]

While I like the occasional mini-challenge or game, I like it better when I can read what I'm in the mood to read or whatever library books I have more than having to scramble to find books to fit a certain criteria all the time. So I'm happy to hear that this will be a low-fuss team challenge.

I feel exactly the same way! :-)

[Chales]

i signed up..i'm scurred!! what if i hit a reading slump and bring the team down?! lol

[MelanieJoy]

Hi!
On my signup sheet I put yes for chatty team. Can we change it to "Doesn't Matter?" Thanks! :)

Yeah that's why I love Tower Teams. I can read whatever I want, but its a team challenge so there's motivation to read more (and now be as much of a tv-couch potato).

[Maddie]

Haha yeah I signed up as well :p

RebeccaS wrote: "Mary: Harry Dresden's Love Slave wrote: "While I like the occasional mini-challenge or game, I like it better when I can read what I'm in the mood to read or whatever library books I have more than..."

Yeah, same here. I can never do challenges that require you to read a specific book or genre och whatever else the criteria is because I need to be able to decide for myself, after my mood etcetera. That's why the Tower Team is the only challenge, really, that I engage in because not only can I read what I want, I get a boost and further motivation because it's a challenge and a team challenge, and I like to compete, lol.

[Mary X]

I don't mind them sometimes. But I seem to remember a tower team challenge where there were seemingly constant themed games for extra points to do. I was a captain and it was kind of a pain. But maybe I am thinking of another big team challenge.

I got a lot of walking, cleaning and yard work done during previous rounds so I could get more audiobook time.

It was Towers II, you and Muffin started as captains for the mods team and then moved on to another team when it was needed.

*makes a pouty face*
It was quite a while ago and I still have abandonment issues
*dramatic sigh*

I'm kidding.. since it was the initial agreement.

Anyway, Tower Teams II was a lot of fun.... and not one to repeat *giggles*

I regret nothing... but.. LK is a force of nature, and without her we don't dare to handle everything like she did. And truth to be told, I'm not near as nice as she is.. so... better not poke the bear :)

[Mary X]

Ah Yes. I had a nightmare team member sending me nasty messages in that one.

Anyway, I like some themed games just not constant ones as I generally have books I really want to get to and end up with a bunch of partially reads books that were put aside to read something to fit a theme.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

OMG Mary every time I see your avatar I see my dog there. It's to funny :-)

[Bety]

YAY! I'm excited! I loved the community and team aspect of Wobble. I made friends! (Hi Kazen!) I'm a little scared to be a full captain, so I signed up as co-captain. I wish there was a "hey I'm scared to be a captain but I'll be one if not enough people want to be captains."
