Hi, I've done the challenge in the past but have not participated since last summer. I'd like to do it again, but I'm not sure if the username I had is still on the board for me- I was Rebecca MA last summer...is that active for someone else now? THanks so much! Rebecca

So you can jump in using that as your Readerboard name - just remember to put it at the top of your completed task posts as we have other Rebeccas in the challenge. Happy reading!
Thanks Kristi!!! Would it help to change my username to match?
Rebecca wrote: "Thanks Kristi!!! Would it help to change my username to match?"It would. Having the same GR name and RB name is much easier on the person keeping track of points (and prevents mistakes that take time to track down) ;o).
Joining the challenge! Can my name be Mandy S? I'll make sure to include it at the top of my completed tasks posts. Thanks! :)

Hi - since there always are a bunch of us Heather's (we're a clumping variety ;) - I'll be Laughing Penguin, if that's ok :) - and look, I made it even easier by changing my name ;)Heather

I've added you as LAUGHING PENGUIN. Since that's in your GRs name now, you don't have to add it to your posts ;o). It does make things much easier. Thanks ;o)!
Hello! Looks like I can take the easy option and be Zee. :-)
Can I be Angie CA? :)
May I use Aneeqah, please? =)Thanks!!
Welcome to the challenge, ZEE, ANGIE CA, and ANEEQAH. Happy reading!
Hi everyone!I would like to join the summer challenge as Annie K.

Welcome to the challenge, ANNIE K! Don't forget to put your Readerboard name at the top of your completed task posts so that you get the points and not one of the other Annies!
Hi, I'm going to change my readerboard name from Terri FL to Terri UK since I relocated!
Am I still Amanda B? I noticed it's still on the Readerboard, or is that someone else now?
Terri UK wrote: "Hi, I'm going to change my readerboard name from Terri FL to Terri UK since I relocated!"Got it Terri. Thanks. Enjoy London! ;o)
Amanda B. wrote: "Am I still Amanda B? I noticed it's still on the Readerboard, or is that someone else now?"That's you, Amanda B ;o). Welcome back...
Hi there! :) I'd like Randi to be my RB name!
I would like my Readerboard name to be Jodi TX.
Hmmm, there's already a Karen MA which is where I live so I'll be Karen NJ for where I'm originally from.
Sorry it took me so long, RANDI and JODI TX. I've been on vacation. But you've now been added to the Readerboard names list. Welcome to the challenge!
KarenF wrote: "Hmmm, there's already a Karen MA which is where I live so I'll be Karen NJ for where I'm originally from."Hi, Karen. We do not have a KAREN F on the Readerboard. Since your Goodreads name is Karen F, the simplest thing to do is to go by that. So, for now, I've added you to the list as KAREN F. If you'd really rather have something else, please let me know. Thanks! And, welcome!

I forgot that I added the F a while ago to differentiate for another challenge.
Hi, I just joined the group and would like to start with the Fall challenge. I would like my readerboard name to be Connie.

Don't forget to put your Readerboard name at the top of your completed task posts. There are several Jackies taking part in the challenge. We wouldn't want to give your points to someone else! ;o) Have fun....

Welcome to the challenge, Tineke! Everyone gets excited when the new tasks start appearing - it's a lot of fun to start planning your reading for the next challenge.
Please keep in mind the rule on pre-reading:
10. Pre-reading: Books longer than 499 pages that were started before the beginning of a challenge can be used to fulfill a task if more than half the book is read during the challenge.
For example, if you were to read 249 pages (or less) of a 500 page book before the start of a challenge, this book would count if it met a task requirement. However, if you had read 250 pages (or more) of a 500 page book before the start of a challenge, this book would not count. Books less than 500 pages should NOT be begun before the start of a challenge.
Hi, I would like CHRISTINE. There is a CHRISTINE US, so is it okay to take the name minus US? Thanks!
Christie wrote: "Hi, I would like CHRISTINE. There is a CHRISTINE US, so is it okay to take the name minus US? Thanks!"Hi, Christie. No, sorry, we try not to have the same "basic" name, like Christine (other than our grandfathered in players who have been here since the beginning ;o)). The reason being that Christine US's (and other Christines who may join the challenge in the future) GRs name (the one the moderators see in the bar above your post) may also says Christine and it makes it difficult for the moderators to sort when they are trying to keep up with hundreds of players.
In your case, the easiest thing to do is to make your Readerboard name CHRISTIE GUATEMALA. For now, that's what I'll add to the Readerboard. Let me know if you desperately want something different. When you post your completed tasks in the completed task thread, just put CHRISTIE GUATEMALA at the top of your posts so we know who to give points to. Happy reading and enjoy the challenge!
Wow that is a lot of names.I see there is a Matthew, but can I be Matt?

MATT will work. Enjoy the challenge!
Can I just keep my goodreads name of SASSAFRASS? thanks!
Hello! If possible, I'd just like to be BUTTERFLYCAGER. Thank you!
I like my readerboard name to be Diana S.
Welcome to the challenge SASSAFRASS, BUTTERFLYCAGER, and DIANA S! Diana, don't forget to add your Readerboard name to the top of your completed task posts. There are several Dianas competing in the challenge. We want to make sure we give the right Diana the right points!
I'm thinking about doing the fall challenge. I am luckngrace on GR so please put that name on the readerboard.
