STEVEN :-)I blame Steven and Barb for getting me hooked on Goodreads challenges. LOL

All these fun people... can we just all be on one big team? *sigh* I want them all on my team!!!
Steven wrote: "All these fun people... can we just all be on one big team? *sigh* I want them all on my team!!!"I think we need a big tug-o-war challenge where we're on 2 big teams. Or maybe a chutes-and-ladders challenge. So many board games to go through.

Yup, totally my fault! I wanted my Kim with me. :D
Reading through the posts, we TOTALLY should have a NBRC challenge as a group against another challenge group. That would be fantastic! :)

Well I want to request Hobbits too. I thought it was randomized though.

Thanks Karla. We used the feedback from the members with the last team challenges to create this. We hope everyone likes the new 'twist' to Tower Teams!

I would love to be on Kimberly team, if possible.
I was going to put in a request to be on the same team as all the members from team moonstone! It's time to be reunited!!
~Leslie~ wrote: "I was going to put in a request to be on the same team as all the members from team moonstone! It's time to be reunited!!"Aha!
We understand that team challenges tend to get people to interact and get close. That's why, we usually try, when possible, to pay attention to requests.
However, one of the team challenges goals is to promote interaction and book talk. And, we need to diversify teams, to keep them balanced, and to give a chance to new members to feel welcome. And to know new friends too.
So, to answer to Sarah, it is as random as we can manage. And we would like to keep all people happy, but, putting a former team all together? I personally don't like the idea, sorry. Because some teams worked, some didn't. And some members from teams that worked want a chance to be on other teams.
So... we'll keep an eye on requests and do what we can, but no promises.

I have to agree with Sonia. I've been on a few different teams and I've met some pretty nice team mates in each so I'm good with any team and finding new friends in them :)

"I completely understand and know that a lot gets factored into selecting the teams, including the number of books we read.
Captain Jack Sparrow wrote: "Sign ups recorded to here on the spreadsheet"I was just checking out the spreadsheet and see that I am recorded for 64 books in 2014, but it is supposed to be 54. I am not sure if this is a big deal or not, but I don't want the tallying to get messed up, so I wanted to let you know :)
Hilary wrote: "Captain Jack Sparrow wrote: "I was just checking out the spreadsheet and see that I am recorded for 64 books in 2014, but it is supposed to be 54."The 'c' column on the spreadsheet is an estimate for the end of the year based on what you've read so far. The spreadsheet fills it in automatically using a formula. It's just to give us an idea, really.
Thanks for checking up on things! :D
