New Years Resolution Keep-it-Going Challenge - April 2015 - Sign-up and Questions

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Added ☺

[Berit]

Just an idea, maybe since it seems everyone is liking the team thing, you can keep the teams you are setting up for next month together for a few months. Maybe adding in some twists as the months go along. Just an idea, :-) twists like everyone needs to read a book over 400 pages or everyone needs to read a book with a red cover, or everyone needs to read a book that is recommended by another team member. And all the books would fit into your resolution as well., Just a thought ;-) I just thought then you wouldn't have to go through the whole thing of setting up teams again and again.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Berit, but not everyone signs up for the challenges each month so we'd end up with lots of people missing from teams. We seem to have lost some people just over the course of this month ☹

The things that you are talking about with the having to meet certain criteria sound like out bookish blocks challenge which will probably be making an appearance again this year ☺

[Jackie]

Can you at least try and keep two people from a previous team together? Or at least two people that have already worked together?

[Berit]

Yes, like our whole team together again :-)

Please note - the 'Just for Fun' players have been added to the regular groups because we only have 3 of them, they are not expected to read as many books as the rest of the team ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

All team threads have now been created ☺ If everybody could comment on their team chat thread to let us know they are ready that would be great ☺

[Berit]

I was kidding about keeping my whole team together, but most of us are still on the same team :-) with some exceptions who I will miss terribly :-(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

A lot less people have signed up for this challenge compared to March's. That's why we currently only have 3 teams.

[Berit]

I seem to remember a lot of people signed up after the teams had been formed, but these teams look great!! Thanks once again for all your hard work :-)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes they did ☺ We'll see if the same thing happens tomorrow when the group message goes out ☺

[María]

Im in! Im serious!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

María, you can join team 1 ☺ - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Noella]

Have you ever done a team challenge where it was Abbie's team v Sarah's team ? That should be fun XD

[Jackie]

I agree with Noella!

[Elizabeth Emily]

I agree too!x

[Christina]

Noellas idea is great hahaha. Some rivalry between Sarah and Abbie would be interesting > =)

[Berit]

I totally agree as well!

Okay then Sarah, you've twisted my arm!

I'll play serious but I won't be reading as many as this month!

My resolutions will be :

Read at least 75 books (this year)
Read more classics
Read more non-fiction
Read the books I've owned for more than six months.

[Amy]

Okay Sarah thanks! I was planning on reading a series I already read about five years ago. Can I still use it for this challange? I know you don't like to count re-reads but I haven't written reviews for them and I don't really remember the story in all honesty. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's fine ☺

[Amy]

Awesome! Thanks Sarah. :)

[Kelly]

Hey Sarah, I'm up for this if I can still sign up :) I'd like to play just for fun though, if it makes a difference this go-round.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's fine Kelly, at the moment we've got the 'just for fun' players on the same teams because there aren't as many people taking part in this challenge ☺ You can join team 3 - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... ☺

[Marla Mei]

Is it too late to join? Just for fun for me. :)

If it's not too late to join, I'm in for serious! Haven't been able to read that much these last couple of months but I hope to read at least 8 or more next month.

1. Finish 15 series
2. Finish series with one or two books left
3. Start 8 series
4. Get to the sequels of series I haven't gotten around to

[Trinity]

If I can't join the serious, I would be okay with going in for just for fun. :)
