I AM SPARTACUS. Sorry, I had to. Hi everyone!

Yay teams are up! Hahaha Stacie :D

Hi everyone! I am so happy to be part of team Spartacus (my favorite - esp with Andy Whitfield)! Are we getting more team members or are we set at 4?

We may be at a set of four since I read too much.

Hi Stacie! No such thing as reading too much. (Not as long as you're on my team, anyway.) LOL

yeah i figured as much. was just messing with you xD (the mouse still doesn't work :( )

Time for introductions =D

Where is everyone from?
How much do you usually read per week?
What are your favorite genres?
Tell us a little bit about yourself =)

I'll start. I'm a 30 year old (almost 31 gah!) single mom from Portugal, Europe. I have a beautiful almost 3 year old daughter who i won't stop talking about if i'm allowed to xD. No furry family members, sadly. I had a cat but she died little more than a year ago. Last year i went back to college and started fresh. It's a very scary and hard thing to do, but i really want to have a diploma. I used to be a gamer, but lately i haven't had that much time to game, but that just means i read a little bit more xD
I'm planning to read 2 books a week, but since i'm on vacation right now and i may get into the challenge i may read a few more =x

My favorite genres: YA, horror, dystopian, urban fantasy, paranormal. I can also read fantasy and sci-fi.

Strategy time!

We have our first goals.

1. Read a book with the main genre as Paranormal
2. Read a book that was originally published before 1900
3. Read a book where a char's first name starts with Y

we can't start them just yet, but we can get a little bit of planning done and see who wants to tackle which goal =)

Okay, I'll introduce myself. I live in North Carolina and am retired from a career in IT Management. I have 3 children, all grown. Two live in North Carolina and one in New Hampshire. I read 3-5 books a week on average. My favorite genres are mystery, fantasy, and young adult although I will read just about anything.

I was about to complain that you have paranormal but then I saw the 1900 part...ick... classics *shudders*

I hate books before 1900!!!

Hi I'm Stacie, 36, 37 next month (really!?!?) living in College Park, MD. No kids (unless husbands count) and 4 cats. I'm a counselor but I'm looking to start a new career so I went back to school for a 2nd degree. Working full-time and school is a lot but somehow I still find time to read :) I read about 7 to 10 books a week, sometimes more if work is slow. My favorite genres are Romance, YA, NA, though I do branch out to other genres!

lol right? sigh i guess i can always read Frankenstein if nobody else wants it. It was first published in 1818

Or the condessa de segur ones... But I'm not sure they're on goodreads. One of these days i must apply for goodreads librarian

I can take the prior to 1900 book. I've been wanting to read or reread by Jane Austen.

But those are children's books!

It all depends on the word count. I think a few can qualify

Well, that settles it then

HIIIIIIIIIII ENI!!!!!

sweet Jackie =) that takes care of one goal. Paranormal should be easy enough. i'll try to look for Y chars

Sonia wrote: "I was wrong.
Comtesse de Segur"

GR has Uma Aventura books. Of course it will have her =D

ok found a y char. A Discovery of Witches. And the book has 579 pages so we get a whole point for it =)

Y books:

Eni, what do you want me to read?

Whichever you prefer Stacie. If you want to grab the Y book go for it =) i can do the paranormal one. Or vice-versa xD, or you can just read whatever and get attack points =p

I'll just read for attack points unless no one wants the paranormal. None of the y books are on my list.

OK =) i'll grab the y book then =)

I'll take on paranormal. That works out because I was going to read this short book tonight/tomorrow morning for another challenge so I can get through it quick :)

My name is Cathy and I'm an Office Manager in a law firm in Los Angeles. I originally grew up in AZ and Korea (army brat), mostly in Korea where I met my hubby when I was in college and he was there after getting out of the Army. We've now been together 15 years, married for 6. We don't have any human children but do have 2 cats - Kamikaze & Buddy.

I typically read at least 4 books a week, though when I'm playing games like this, I tend to read more. All depending on the page lengths really! I mostly read romances, MM, YA, NA, and some Fantasy/Paranormal. I'll read almost anything, except Christian Fiction or non-fiction.
