I'd like to join this challenge if not too late!

✔How many books have you read in 2014 (>100 pages) -> I've read 120 books so far. I'm not sure how many were less than 100 pages but since I don't read many novellas I am going to guess at least 110 of this are over 100 pages.
✔I plan to read about 200 - 250 books in 2015.
✔I live in Europe - UK
✔I probably shouldn't be a captain or co-captain this round since it's my first go at this, but if need be then I will give it a go :o)

Ummm, I'm not sure how to make sure this account is a friend... If I make my account accessible by Goodreads members, does that work? Sorry--I'm still a little new to all the ins and outs. :)

Yipee, still getting my head wrapped around how this works, but I'll figure it out ;)

You'll probably have to wait day or two before you'll be in a team. Not sure if we have enough people for new one. And tomorrow is last day for those already in the team to check in or they are going to be replaced.

It's not difficult. Since you don't want to be captain, all you have to do is read books (over 100 pages) and put them on the right shelf. If you want to get extra points for your team, find buddy to read a book with you. Or you can read one of books of the month (BOMs).
That's it in very simplified version. :D

[Lára]

I would like to start fresh.

1. How many books you have read in 2014 (>100 pages): Not sure. 10+
2. How many books you plan to read in 2015?: 33
3. The continent you live in: Europe.
4. Would you be willing to be a Team Captain?: No.
5. Is this your first team challenge with NBRC?: No.

Don't worry Ozana. You're not too late. ☺
You'll just have to wait little longer so we can see if you (and others signed up lately) will be added to existing team or we'll create new one.

[Danielle]

I'm feeling hopeful since so many people have still been signing up!

[❀Tea❀]

Even if you don't get your team before challenge starts (tomorrow), all books finished since start will still count.

[Danielle]

The book I'm finishing right now doesn't count right?
Meaning you have to START a book tomorrow or after for it to count, right?

[❀Tea❀]

Danielle wrote: "The book I'm finishing right now doesn't count right?

No, you have to finish book tomorrow after challenge starts.
Challenge starts in 20h so anything finished after that, counts for challenge.
Here is countdown (Yes, we have one :P)

[Danielle]

Ok wait can you clarify this for me then? I have a book I'm on like the last 2 chapters of.. If I wait to finish it tomorrow does that mean it counts?

[❀Tea❀]

Danielle wrote: "Ok wait can you clarify this for me then? I have a book I'm on like the last 2 chapters of.. If I wait to finish it tomorrow does that mean it counts?"

Yep.

[Danielle]

Oh my! I didn't know that. Very cool - except I hope I can wait! Lol. I can't help myself!

[Anima]

I'm not sure I can still sing up, but I will try anyway ;)

I have read 118 books so far this year.

I plan to read at least the same number next year, if I manage, even more.

I'm from Poland. (Europe)

I would prefer to be a "private" member as it is my first time in the team challenge.

Karen, thank you for a message. That got me motivated to try :)

[Kim]

I would like to join if a spot opens up or a new team is formed.

How many books you have read in 2014 (>100 pages)

17

How many books you plan to read 2015?

25

The continent you live in (so we can try and match time zones)

North America

Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain?

Maybe next time after I see how this works.

Is this your first team challenge with NBRC?

No

[Cathie]

✔ How many books you have read in 2014
- 20 so far (goal is 24; this has been a very trying year away from books)

✔ How many books you plan to read 2015?
- at least 24, but it could be a lot more (See total for 2013 when life was normal)

✔ The continent you live in (so we can try and match time zones)
- North America (Country is Canada)

✔ Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain?
- Can't do; see answer to first question

✔ Is this your first team challenge with NBRC?
- No

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

You can put in as a back up

[Mary X]

Yes if you wait to finish until after the challenge starts it counts. If you finish it before then it doesn't. But it's ok to start reading them already. I'm sure pretty much every player signed up has at least 1 book started for this if not more.

So save those last 2 chapters for after the start time.
