**I will be making organizing the teams on DECEMBER 28TH, so please make sure you sign up before then if you want to be a part of the initial draft.**

If you sign up after the teams are announced, that is fine. However, I might wait a bit to see if any others want to join, so you might not be added to a team right away.

You can mention your 2020/2019 points, or an idea of how many books you read each year... I think that was the system the first year, to get an idea...

Old Julia Stats for Mods:

2020: 177 books, 695 points (unsure if 100% accurate)
2019: 276 books, 1940 points
2018: 459 books, 1481 points

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

@Rob and Julia - would you like to be on the same team again?

Favourite read of 2021: The Shining, maybe? I seemed to read some really bad books this year, which probably contribute to my low reading score.

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

LAST CHANCE FOR INITIAL DRAFT! I am giving a bit more time since we've had a couple people sign up in the past two days. I will announce the teams on the 29TH.

Remember, if you do miss the deadline, you can always sign up, but you might not be added to a team right away.

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

-----------------------------------------------

All players have been added to my list up until this point. Anyone signing up after this will be added at a later date.

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

Teams have been made - will announce later today!

[Soo]

Woo! Thanks for all the work, wonderful FBR mods! =D

[Saar The Book owl]

Thank you, Jenna and the other mods, for all the work. Much appreciated!

[Siobhan]

Wooo! Excited to get back in the game :D

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Gonna have to stop procrastinating on the spreadsheet...

I decided to wait for the teams to get serious... the simple sheet users need teams so I can just use freshly colored team templates, anyway...

EDIT: Apparently I'm too lazy for that... the colors have been wrong for years... I just reassigned teams, and changed tab colors and called it good, for the most part...

[Katie]

Yay! More reading goodness ~<3

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I just shared the sheet link in the sheet thread

Hey Angela! Glad to see you back for this year's competition! I'll wait to add you to a team for a while in case there are any other signups, but whenever you get added to a team, you can count any points from Jan 1st since you signed up today. :)

[Angela Jr.]

Thanks Jenna :)

[Miche]

I will give this one a try again. I have only participated at the first year competition.

Name: Miche
2021 number of books read: 151 but that was my highest ever and I don’t think I will get that many this year. My goal is 100.
2021 number of buddy reads read with the group: 0. I will be doing a big one with Angela this year, but otherwise I haven’t been doing much BR due to time constrains.
Favorite read of 2021: without doubts The Sword of Kaigen.
