Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

Hi Everyone

We are thinking of doing a challenge (or more) where readers undertake the tasks of the challenge as a team. For the challenge in question, participants would be in teams of 4 readers.

I have done it in other groups and it is a great way to make friends and chat about books. Does this sort of interaction with other members interest you?

If you would be interested (or have a comment either way), please leave a note in this thread :)

Thanks!

I haven't done this but sounds interesting!

I've done this in other groups and really enjoy it. I've also been a team leader for this sort of challenge and thoroughly enjoyed that as well. So, if you want a team leader I'd be happy to be one.

One question: How many months do you see this challenge spanning? Is it going to be one, two, three or more months at a time?

I would be interested!

sounds cool. I would like it.

Zara - I think we are throwing around a few different ideas right now...in other groups wehre i've done it - bingo type games - it has been anywhere from 4 weeks to several months

Thanks for getting back to me. I was just curious that's all.

basically that's my way of saying...we have no idea yet ;)

If we have enough interest we'll sort out a team challenge - we just have to work out when we would slot it in :) there is always so much going on here!

Depending on what other challenges I'm involved in when the challenge starts and what's involved, I'd probably be interested. How's that for wiffle-waffling? ;-)

Sounds like fun...

Love to

I'm definitely interested! I have played Bingo-type team games with other groups and they are lot of fun!

I'm in, I don't like bingo games on my own (to many books I want to read that don't always fit the catagories), but as a team sounds like fun!!

Never did a team challenge. Might be fun.

I'm interested

I'm interested!

I'm intrigued...I've got a good bit on my plate for January and March, but I could do a February starting one, otherwise I'll wait for next round!

I would be interested.

I would be interested in finding out some more about this challenge game.

Sounds like fun!

i'm interested

No idea what it involves, but count me in.

I would be interested.

I love these types of challenges. Count me in!

Thanks for all the comments everyone!!

me me me! Pick me!

I'm interested!!!

I like the team challenges but usually only do them if they aren't too restrictive as far as genre and time frame. (I read pretty quickly so to me a restrictive time frame would be like more than 2 books in one week).

I've done a couple that were point based and several factors of the book and not sure I would do one like that again. It got really tiring at the end to find books that met all the requirements for points and I felt like I would be letting my team down if I didn't at least try to read one for max points. Not sure I would do one like that again.

Hi Mary - the team event we're thinking of doesn't have points at this stage (they could be added in or not, depending on feedback ;), and gives choice in reading, and no more than one book per week.

There is enough interest that we will give this a go :)

We just have to work out the timing now.

Sounds interesting!!

I'm interested!

I'm interested! It sounds fun.

I've never done a team challenge, they always seem to have started just before I find them.

I'm interested!

Sounds like a challenge I would like to be a part of

Sounds like fun I am interested

Sure I'm interested, but I'm curious of how we will talk to each other, will it be over Goodreads???
(I'm new so I don't know about these groups yet)

Gemma - each team will have a thread in the game folder to chat etc

Ok, thanks for telling me. I just didn't know because I've only just joined Goodreads this past few weeks. I'll get the hang of it soon enough.

I'd like to do a team challenge.

Hi,my name is crissy. I just joined the group and I am interested in doing the team challenge.

Excellent Crissy! I'll get back with the mods and get into some planning :)

It seems fun. I see that they have a team challenge in another group that I just joined and the teams earn points and also bonuses are offered throughout the year.

Keep me in the loop. I too am fairly new to goodreads and just made my first friend.

Welcome Lisa :)

Sounds interesting...I'd give it a try!

I've never done something like this, but it sounds fun. Count me in!

I've played team challenges before and they are a lot of fun. Definitely interested :0)

New to this site, would love to participate!
