And we're off. Let's get cutting, or just introduce ourselves :)

For those who don't know me I'm Alison and I'll be your bloodthirsty captain. I've captained a few of these team challenges but I'm very excited about this one. I read pretty much anything and everything and have just finished Everless which was really good.

Finally!
I'm Silje, one of your captain's sidekicks. I have been co-captain once or twice before and just became a member of the MODs team as well=) I mostly read fantasy, romance and YA, but have been known to try thriller and mystery as well=) I have just finished some of my Netgalley books, The Austen Escape and His Christmas Princess.

Hi everyone! My name is Alex and I'm so excited for this challenge! I mostly do audiobooks, but I'll listen to just about anything fiction. I can't wait to get to know you all!

I’ve been checking on a regular basis to see when the thread was finally open!!

I love team challenges and it’s nice to see a set of familiar faces on our team. I read almost everything except horror but do read a lot of fantasy, paranormal, and romance. I just finished Z: a novel of Zelda Fitzgerald, which was really interesting and told a different side of relationships with very complicated dynamics.

I’m excited for some backstabbing shenanigans!

Hi Alex, great to meet you. I'm a recent convert to audios so I'm sure I'll be looking for some recommendations from you. I'm listening to Frankenstein at the moment. It's narrated by Dan Stevens who just has the dreamiest voice.

Hi Judith. It's great to be back on the same team again. It's been forever.

All,

I've set up a separate group for the team so we can talk tactics without spies =)

Once you check in I'll send you on an invite. Please accept it and come on over.

Hi team! I’m Nicole and this is the first team challenge I’ve ever done! I’m looking forward to it. My favourite genre is thriller/suspense.

Hi Judith, nice to see you again=) Nice to meet some new people as well=)

Hi Nicole and welcome to the team. I think you've picked a fun one for your first. Beware though, they are addictive.

Hi team! I'm Ashlee and I love to do team challenges. I will pretty much read anything, but have a lot of romance, cozy mystery, and YA on my TBR. I'm excited to try a new challenge.

Hi team! Looking forward to starting!

Let loose the dogs of war!!!

My name is Chris and I read it all. I prefer to listen and read the same book when possible. My wheel house revolves around fantasy and historical fiction, but I can throw down any genre at anytime. I am currently trying to finish You Suck by my newest favored author Christopher Moore.

Hi team mates! Good to see you=) Alison will send you an invite to our secret group as soon as she can.

Edit: apparently I can invite too, so I sent an invite=)

Hi, I'm the second Nicole. I read anything I can get my hands on by kindle unlimited and am saving up some books on my kindle for the challenge. Looking forward to starting. :)

Welcome! We have sent you an invite to our private group=)

Hi, I am Leslie. I love to read just about anything except for maybe romance , but I have been known to read anything for a challenge. My favs are Mystery, thriller, sci-fi and historical fiction.

Hi everybody! So I think this is a first challenge with most if not all of you, which is so weird for me since I've been a challenge addict for ages. It's rare to get to play with a whole new group of friends!

But as for me and reading, well I'll read pretty much anything and everything. Any sub-genre of Romance or Fantasy tend to be my favorites though. But I'm really on a kick to diversify my reading lately so I'm always open to any new suggestions. :)

--Little side note - I try to get online at least once a day, but sometimes with my schedule that can get a little difficult. Generally though even if I'm not getting to update as often as I'd like I'm still always reading. :)

Always great to meet new books addicts;)
Good of you to let us know! I've sent you a link to our private group.

Hello Team! Glad to be on your team. Looking forward to some fun.

Hi Chris. Great to have you. I've sent you on an invite to our private group.

Hello everyone!
I’m Emily. Looking forward to playing with you all!

Hi, nice to hear from you! I will send you an invite to our secret group so you can get settled=)

Hi, I'm Eunice. Looking forward to reading with you all! I'm not exactly sure as to what's going to happen here, but I've participated in some team challenges before and I'm sure I'll pick some things up along the way. I'm open to most genres but I usually go for fantasy, mystery, and thriller.

Hi Eunice and welcome to the team.

Chris,
Have you been able to connect to our private group?

Leslie wrote: "Chris,

Yes.

Hi everyone, sorry I'm late, been on holidays!

I'm from Sydney and I read everyday on the bus to and from work. Or if I catch the ferry I listen to an audiobook so I can look out the window :)

Very excited to do this.
