[Gisbelle]

Great :) We hope it goes well.

[Vicki]

YAY! I love the sound of it! :o)

[Gisbelle]

Awesome :) Don't be shy to throw in any suggestions :D

[ZaraS]

How long does this challenge go for (ie. 1 month, 2 months etc)?


I love the sound of this challenge. Can't wait for it to start.

[Gisbelle]

One month. It's not gonna be monthly, though.

Excellent Gisbelle. Another great challenge to add to my ever expanding list of challenges. lol

[Gisbelle]

Thanks :) We'll start the signup soon.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Sounds great! :)

[Gisbelle]

Great to hear that :D We might limit the number of participants since we don't want too many groups in case a lot of people are interested. Maybe 30 people just like when we do Blind Date Challenge.

[Vicki]

If you limit the sign ups to 30, how large will each group be? Three?

[Gayatri]

I like it as well! It sounds fun :)

[[deleted user]]

I can't wait!

[Irene]

How many books are you required to read during the challenge? It sounds fun!

[Gisbelle]

Vicki wrote: "If you limit the sign ups to 30, how large will each group be? Three?"

Maybe 5 members and 6 groups

[Gisbelle]

Only one.

[Megan]

This sounds like fun!

[Gisbelle]

:) We'll start the sign up later today.

Oh, okay. I didn't even think of that. OMG! LOL

[Gisbelle]

:) That's why you need me around lol

Anyway, we don't want too many groups as it would be too much work for us, and we want at least 5 members in each group so that after we assign books for each group, it will be a lot of fun to decide who will read what :D

I can't wait to see who all will be in my group! LOL

[Gisbelle]

:) I'll finish up a report (boring!) for my boss and will start the thread soon

Yeah, that's why I wondered because 10 in one group sounded like WAY too many, but 3 sounded like too few. I guess that's why I don't teach math. LOL So I'm exposing myself here. I just never considered that option. So that is ONE reason why I need you around! I can think of MANY, MANY more!

[Gisbelle]

You'd better treat me right then :D I demand a raise lol

[Vicki]

Okay, I get it! Here is your raise: (((hugs))) and more (((hugs))) and still some more (((hugs))). That's more than monetary value, right?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

since we are grouped, when should we start our books/be done with our books?
and do we post read/rating/review info in our team thread?

My team is all happy with our books so we won't be dropping or swapping!! yay! great picks!

[Gisbelle]

You guys may start the books, and reviews (optional) and rating should be posted in your group thread.

That was really fast :)

[Vicki]

Gis, how did you come up with all the books? I added a few to my TBR shelf because I didn't have enough already. LOL

[Jessica (The Psychotic Nerd)]

How long do we have to read our books?

Until March 31 as we planned. But if every group finishes sooner, we might start another round right after that.

Just another one of my many great talents lol.... Seriously though, I just tried and added some books I thought interesting :) I haven't read any of those books, I think.

[Vicki]

Well, you certainly got a good variety! I haven't read any of the books assigned to any of the groups. Lol Great job, Gisbelle! :)

[Gisbelle]

Thanks :)

[Vicki]

You're welcome.
