• There is still time to sign-up! We will be closing sign-ups on Thursday, January 22nd at noon DST.

This also applies to those of you who have not yet posted your songs. (From this point onward... doesn't apply, if you already posted your songs.)
• Please note that, due to unforeseen Real Life commitments, this Team Challenge will only last SIX WEEKS (not seven). The last song will be played Sunday, March 1st; the winner will be announced on Sunday, March 8th.

Week #1's Playlist Posted HERE!
We will be sending out confirmations invitations and Team assignments tomorrow (in about 20 hours). We just thought we'd give you an early start in your planning.
Yay! The playlist!!!! *does the happy dance*
The playlist seems fun.Waiting for the teams.☺ ♪ ♫Thank you very much for the consideration.I really do not wish to pester or disturb anyone in the group.I am learning slowly.
Thank you Dancing Queen
We are hoping for one more player, to make the Teams even. Does anyone know anyone who might be interested?
I've been on the fence about signing up. I'm going back to school and while I still read a lot, I don't know how my next 2 classes will go (they start mid Feb) and how much time I will have to devote to finding books for maximum points.
Come on, Mary: HDLS. We would love to have you... and we promise you won't have to be Captain this time around.
Can we count on getting cheat-sheets again?It's so much easier with them! :D
Wellllllllll... for the first two weeks, for sure.
OK I will but I might be a liability to my team in the points department. The only books I have been finishing lately are audiobooks.
Only two weeks?!Who do I need to bribe for others? Nobody else needs to know :P
