Sign Up Thread TTIII

[Michelle]

Just checked the spreadsheet. My end of year estimate is a little high because we are going into the busy season at work, but I'm not sure that will matter. I also volunteer to be captain or co-captain for the challenge.

[Amanda]

Thanks Michelle. I've updated your info.

[Catherine]

if possible..I'd like to have Rebecca (NJ) and or Lisa (Aussiegirl) on my team. :) I know it will be a crap-shoot...but I think they're great! :)

haha! well..I was willing to add Lisa (Aussiegirl) to our team! lol :)

[Michelle]

It would be really great if Leslie could be my co-captain since we worked so well together for Wheelathon. If you could make that happen it would be great, if not, we completely understand.

[Karla]

I'd like to be on a team with those who are feeling a little left out because no one has requested them to be on their team.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Awww, thanks guys! I do get a little over enthusiastic in out team challenges! Let the fun begin ....

[Sonia]

Awwww Karla, that is so sweet. Thanks.

Just as a side note, nobody will feel left out on our watch. Not if we can help it.

Ok Karla ... Now I want to request you on my team... Teehee

Thats right Diane.
We put the signups out early, but it will be going into the October newsletter and then we'll assign teams first week of November.

We wanted to give everyone (including the mods!) a bit of a break between team challenges, give everyone a chance to sign up and plan their reading.

Note: I have read a lot less than most of the people who have posted so far. I do have time to read more. Having the ability to discuss books after I've read makes me read much more. I have been in somewhat of a rut with my reading. I look forward to pushing myself to read multiple books a week.

Being part of a group helps with the reading a lot. You also tend to find lots of books you wouldn't normally read otherwise.

[Amanda]

I tend to read twice as fast during the tower teams. And I found some of my favorite books during TTII because of my team members.

November can't come soon enough! :D
