Tower Teams XI

First Class Lounge (Pre Challenge Chat)
I actually added Murder with Peacocks by Donna Andrews just a couple of days ago! Chaos at the Lazy Bones Bookshop is totally up my alley and it's on audio, so I put that on my list at the library. I'm not that into food mysteries but something about another culture is really cool so I added Death by Dumplings, too. And Melindam, I have a graduate degree in religion and culture so that book is TOTALLY for me. Thank you!
Joyce, Stranger in a Strange Land was my gateway book into adult SF when I was 12. I wrote a really long review of it talking about it.
I grok both of you Jenny!

Sign ups after May 3rd went on a reserve list. Though some already made it on a team.
If you just signed up today, you'll likely still be put on a team but it will be a few days as teams get sorted and players get replaced.

Not sure you use the spreadsheet for anything after team distribution but Joyce in Empire State Building has my User ID (I also have my user id, it just made finding my name a bit interesting :D )
Hi fellow TravellersI am away till next week aptly travelling in the wilds of Romania seeing so many interesting things.
But with only my phone can’t see which team I’m on?
Can some helpful teamie let me know?
Can’t wait to start. 🥰

Also, once the game gets up and running Mods will likely distribute the remaining reserve players as appropriate so everyone who wants to can participate.
Please be patient, we will do our best to get everyone on teams as soon as we can.
Which page count should I use if I listen to the audio book?

Ahhh, great news! Looking forward to it.
Been spying all the Tower Teams and trying to adjust my current reads to make them valuable anywhere haha.
If someone drops out I would be interested in joining. I read 2-3 books per week.
Mod
Go ahead and fill out the sign up form and it'll get you on the reserve list
Love the cheese challenge. Nicely done! (and might I suggest my childhood favorite, Gjetost, as a nice throwing cheese...)
Mod
I love that one. I actually still have a piece in my fridge :-)
When I was in the Netherlands, I toured and Edam factory? Is that what you would call it? It was a small thing and was underground so it was cold with little light. It was so awesome that I started eating Edam and now it's one of my favorite cheeses. I know it's not a particularly unusual cheese but I love it.
Sandra - I sent you a friend request, but also going to post this here since I think you've checked this thread more regularly and I can't send you a PM. When you see this, you've been added to Team Burj Khalifa we're looking forward to you joining us!
HAPPY GLORIOUS REVOLUTION DAY for Discworld fans!Don't forget to smell the lilacs or eat a hard boiled egg! 💜🥚

Also, Happy Towel Day for Galaxy Hitchhikers! 🌌🚀
I miss smelling lilacs!!!!! The downside to living in a desert. Good day to do my laundry, so my towels are nice and fresh!
Mine aren't. I've got to do laundry before an alien bulldozer tries to remove Earth again.

I’m tired of paying for gas, I’m installing an infinite improbability drive, if I’m lucky I will end up where I wanted to.
Would this count for Moose on the cover?

OK, I'll stop.
