Lea would you be interested in being a teammate again? We could see if Liza was interested to partially fill an MM team.

I've asked Darkness to join us, she reads really fast. Waiting for her response

So, Heather, Vanessa, Vicki and Darkness -
Same name as before?

I will gladly team with both of you again!

Thanks!
We can stick with the team name. Like you, I came on the team after the name was chosen and they had played a round or more. So if you'd like a different name, I'm fine either way.
Signing up for the first time in a long time. On a team with Sassafrass who will sign up soon and possibly others tbc
I'll be in with Hazel -- we are looking to be leisurely and not ultra-competitive.

I've updated the participant and team list through here. Please let me know if I have missed something!As you can see there are lots of people not teamed up yet and several partial teams too. (And several teams waiting on members to sign up.) Please compare reading tastes AND pace to see if you would be a good fit with someone or if they might be a good fit for your partial team!
I guarantee you will be happier if you make your own matches! I try my best, but...

The same name is fine by me. Can you be our captain and commander again?

I'm flexible on team names, so if we stick with what you had last time what will it be?

Apologies for missing your earlier messages, sorry 😞
Spicy Sprinters was the team name the previous time. I can't be bothered to think of a new name, so if everyone agrees that would be fine to me, otherwise I leave to you guys to decide on a new one.
Sassafrass wrote: "I'll be in with Hazel -- we are looking to be leisurely and not ultra-competitive."If you and Hazel still need team members, I would love to be included! It seems that we all have similar reading tastes. I will be using this challenge to help beat my reading slump so being on a team that isn't competitive would work for me!

Could I team with you three? I like contemporary and new adult. And thrillers and crime. I like non competitive too.

Here I am signing up!
Vanessa & Vicki - sticking with the original team name sounds like the easiest thing to me too. And I can be captain again.MKat - we're going to be the Spicy Sprinters again.

Did you guys get another person? If not I would like to stay with this team if possible. Since I started on this team a few years ago.

Kat - if Darkness is also interested, is it possible to go with a 5-member team? It seems like there have been some in the past?
Heather wrote: "Kat - if Darkness is also interested, is it possible to go with a 5-member team? It seems like there have been some in the past? "I have had 5 member teams when the numbers dictated that to be best, but I do not want to plan something like that from the beginning. I do try to accommodate requests, but will not guarantee them. If I have smaller teams that tastes fit, I would not want any 5 member teams.

And if need I live in central time zone (US)
Emily & Shan~A~ - Would you like to make a team? We seem to have similar reading likes & speeds.
I would like to take part once again, could you put me with Hazel and Sass in team 9.

I’ve done this once before and love to be competitive but can’t because I don’t read that fast—1-2 books max per week. So I would prefer a leisurely team so I don’t feel like I’m holding the team back/letting them down.
@Allie and @Kat if this is what you’re looking for I’d love to join you if you still need a team.
I’m not a giant romance reader but I do read some contemporary or fantasy romance, preferring little to no smut. I read fantasy and mystery/thriller as my main genres but a fair amount of contemporary also. I liked this because I found some new authors I actually really liked out of my teams favorites.
Or I’m open to join any team that wants me/doesn’t mind I’m a slower reader. :-)

Hi, I’m away from home today. I will update lists in the morning. It is very helpful if when you have formed a team to make a post naming everyone. Thanks.

That’s perfect! Also I think @Kat I think you put my name as Kez instead of Keri
I'm in! Will need a team :) I read pretty much all types of romance but scifi, fantasy, mysteries would be high up there! I can usually read ~7+ books a week and use a lot of audio :D
