Can I just make sure I understand the time zone. I am looking at New York time and it's 7.33am on 30th November in the UK and it should be 2.33am on 30th November in the US (New York) from the link I have.

That's correct, we are -5 hours.

I was taking part in the Fall challenge - can I use my same readerboard name, or do I need to sign up anew?

Your name carries over as long as you are active. If you take some time off and then return, please check back in at Readerboard Names to make sure you haven't been archived.

Welcome Newcomers is a good place to start.

Yea, I have been reading over that, I meant on this list here. :) I am still trying to figure out how this group works.

This page just shows when things are happening, so it's really not a list of things you need to do. If you want to begin the challenge, start by getting a Readerboard name here and also make sure you read the rules, here and the posting requirements here.

After all that (which is basically what the post Sandy gave you says) you'd look at the tasks for the Winter season here and start reading and posting your books.

Thank you both!
I was just a bit confused as to what to do. I already have the name, so I am going over all of the rules again. :)
