ARCHIVE Team Challenge: UNO 2023

UNO 2023 Pre Challenge Chat
My TBR is about half that, but, when it comes to books I find on KU that might work for challenges, I just add them to my Amazon wishlist. They only make it to my GR list if I end up using them. I am afraid to count both lists together. Tammie, that behavior is classified as "normal and laudatory". Just saying.

Never know when you need or feel like a quick read. It's super handy.
I still go to library despite having so many books I could open a library haha

One of them I can check out 30 physical books and 15 ebooks/audiobooks. The other one the limit is 100 physical books and 10 ebooks/audiobooks. It's not uncommon for me to have 100+ books checked out at one time.
I should probably be reading the 2,000+ books I own, but I don't. I go right to the library and check out books and get audiobooks too LOL
Vicki wrote: "Robin, that’s crazy! 😂"LOL I know, I know! But in 2022 I read over 600 books🤪 I usually go in with a list and get sidetracked browsing the shelves. Before I know it, I have all these books that have mysteriously ended up in my book bag. And sometimes I go in JUST to get holds, but end up with a book bag full. It's an addiction🤣
Books distort reality - known fact! (just check out Terry Pratchett's Discworld and the L-space ;)
Vicki wrote: "I have too many books! 😂"No such thing!! ;-)

Teams threads have been updated, but you can also check them out here:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Please note that the threads will not be open right away.
Once your captains, co-captains had time to arrange everything, they will post here and invite you to check in. It may take a few days depending on their availability and RL.
Every participant can view their team's official spreadsheets, but only captains/co-captains get editing rights, so please do not send access requests to the Pixie account.
(Your captains will create team tracking sheets or discuss with you how to report read books.)
Yay!!!! Thank you Uno Pixie : )
Jenny wrote: "Running out of books. Hmmm. I do not know that feeling. I keep having to get more bookcases. I could cull the books I suppose, but they look so comfortable where they are."Teehee! I'm very much the same. I have a dozen 6ft bookcases and still have heaps of them boxed up with nowhere to live :D
Lottery goals: house with big library (and swimming pool. Indoor, because I live in the UK and want to be able to use it more than once every 2 years :D :D :D)

Wheeeee! Can start planning! :D
Hi guys, I don’t see my name on the list. Do you have any clue about what have I done wrong? 👀 is there away to request to be added?
Hi Barbara, it is a mystery. I do not see your name among the sign-ups.
You send the sign-up form, right?
Have you signed up
Hi Melindam! So that’s funny, I thought I have done it. I even remember copying my URL 🫣 I just don’t know if I had finished it (I could have lost the focus when I was doing it, which is really funny 😅) Do I still have time to send the details? Thanks! I could send it later tonight
Fill in the form :-)You'll be on the reserve list for now but we'll give you a shout as soon as a spot opens up!
I'm so excited and ready for this one to start! I love UNO...I'm on team Sea Pen. I can't wait to meet my teammates and get to know some new people because I definitely don't know everyone on my team. I've sent a friend request to my co-captain and once the captain opens up our thread I'll send requests to others I don't know. Let's go team SEA PEN!
Team Thorny Devil is now open and ready for our team members :D
Gustaf, I think that team name is perfect for you! lol
Team Laughing Kookaburra
is now open. Come giggle with us... wow... could that be any more cringy? I'll work harder next time!
Really excited to see the mini challenges with the animal theme this year
(is what I'm thinking the theme is??) lol
It is rare/funny/unusual animals.We"ll try to live up to the mini-ecpectations. ;)
Vicki wrote: "Gustaf, I think that team name is perfect for you! lol"Haha Vicki, I was thinking the exact same thing x)
UNO Pixie, I may have been left off the list. I filled it out one day in the midst of work crazies so it may not have gone through but I can be a reserve if needed if it went poof!
Anna, you are on the reserve list as you signed up after the first cut-off.
Okay, wow, may I just say that mad respect to those that are organizing this and creating the spreadsheets and everything!For a first timer like me, it's quite intimidating to see everything come together, and makes me really feel like I should be re-reading the rules to get them memorized and do my best to contribute to my team!
Excited to begin, though! :)
Thanks, I was wondering if that's what I did. :)
Damit I signed up too late :( technically it was still on the 14th... In some parts of the world 😅 Good luck to everyone! ☺️☺️
Team Bearcat is open for business!!!Come on by team!

Hi, Elena! I sent you a friend request too. I’m looking forward to getting to know you and others on the team :)
Go Sea Pens! Nice to meet you Elena!

Thank you, dear. Something probably happened, and I am not surprised to say that I sometimes lost focus, and this might have happened to me when I was filling up the form. With some luck, I might get into one group (:
Would you look at this little beauty?!

I work to keep my tbr less than 1000...I'm currently over just a bit and need to go through them and get a bunch read and/or weed out so I stay below that number or it makes me crazy.
