Yes, too long! But it does give some time for other challenges to finish ;-)

Yes it's nice to read through and see so many familiar 'faces'!
I've added your request to the spreadsheet
Mod

Thanks Karen! I seriously can't wait for November. Have to decide if I'm doing Nano this year as well.

I know how you feel. I'm already keeping those longer ones on hold. Just in case... :D
Karen wrote: "Kristie is this really your first team challenge? I'm so surprised!"Yes! I've never joined a team before. I'm very excited about it too! :)
Chris wrote: "Are we there, yet?"Ha! I always tell my son, "Fifteen more minutes", no matter how much longer we truly have. So... fifteen more minutes!
Or a little under a month!

Heh. At work it was always 2 weeks as the default "I have no idea" time. So 1 week and 3 weeks were accurate but 2 weeks meant anywhere from a few days to several months.
Mary says in that whiny annoying kid trapped in a car on the yearly family road trip: "are we there yet?!"
I am so excited for this team challenge. I hope November can come soon.
I think I would like to give this a try. I just hope it won't count against me or my team that I won't be here at the beginning of the challenge. It starts the same day as my vacation :( I think we will be back on the 18th or 19th though.✔ How many books you have read in 2014 (>100 pages): 74 almost 75 that fit the criteria (working on number 75 now)
✔ How many books you plan to read 2015?Hopefully 75+
✔ The continent you live in (so we can try and match time zones) US Central
✔ Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain? Not this time since I won't be here at the beginning.
✔ Is this your first team challenge with NBRC?Yes unless the buddy read thing coming up counts.

I don't think I can do long without reading lol.
I might be gone that first week too, I don't know yet. I put off going back to school until January. My father in FL is very sick and I will going to see him when he has lung surgery. But we don't have a date yet. I should be able to check in at least. They don't have WIFI but I can use my phone as a hotspot to at least check in and mark books as read.
Mod
I usually read more during these challenges than I normally would, but work and my travels tends to dictate how much I can read.No, slow down, I've got lots of work to get done and I really need to finish or at least read down 2 chunksters that I have in progress and on my October to-read list...let's not rush past October!
Thanks The Red Baron! What are the odds that I schedule a trip back in May for the same time a challenge on goodreads starts that I want to join? Crazy!

Oh welcome to the fun!!
Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to continue in the challenge, I did not take into account some other things along with school and work and so if its okay I would like to withdraw. :(

No problems, sorry to hear that
I would like to join!
How many books you have read in 2014 (>100 pages)
Only ~40 which is making me feel a little inadequate as I read everyone else's comments lol
How many books you plan to read 2015?
My goal is 100, but it will probably be around 75
The continent you live in (so we can try and match time zones)
Eastern Time- USA
Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain?
No thank you. I will leave that to those more familiar with team challenges and GoodReads. However, if I keep up in new rounds, I might sign up then.
Is this your first team challenge with NBRC?
It's my first team reading challenge ever!

After I joined goodreads my reading went up from 0-25 a year to over 400. It helps your motivation a lot to be able to discuss books with others and find new ones.
I hope you like your first team reading challenge :)
Thank you Kelly :) (Wow! 400!)
I just wanted to let you know that Jennifer in line 112 of the spreadsheet, has changed her username to Jenn C

Mods are currently organising everyone who has signed up into teams (eek! exciting!) as it does take a bit of time to try and get the right mix.
Over the coming week we will PM all members with their team assignments and links to their team discussion thread. If you have a private profile, please add this mod account as a friend to ensure you receive that message.
Once you get this link, you will need to check in to your team thread by November 3. I will post here again once the emails are sent.
We are still taking sign-ups and will continue to do so through most of the challenge as members need to leave for "real life" reasons or reading goals change, but from this point you may be placed on a 'reserve' list and we will message you as soon as a place is available on a team
Oh! So excited! It's almost time! *happy dance*

Hello everyone!!!!!!
May I request to be on a team with Greta, and maybe Vi? I've always seen them around and they seem to be super nice, but I've never been on the same team with either of them.
