Wahoo!!!!

I'm here!!!! Can't we start now? LOL

Just kidding, I'm actually reading the fifth Dark Tower book Wolves of the Calla right now (which is 900+ pages) both to keep me occupied, and also because when I do team challenges, I don't like to get bogged down in door-stoppers.

Housekeeping
Everyone needs a shelf made specifically for this challenge. It doesn't matter what you call it.

Please post a link to your shelf here so Minx and I can keep track of them.

My shelf is bat'leth

Also I just reread the rules and I think this is going to be so much fun!

Here is my shelf Donna's shelf

Thanks for reminder, Minx ;)

Oh Maddy, I love your sense of humor so much!!"

For some it is bad attitude, for some a sense of humor, I am never sure :D
One down, a few more to corrupt!

If only my wonkiness could be fixed as fast as goodread's image :D

Super excited!

Here is my CutThroat Shelf

What is our official start date for reading and does this challenge go by just finish date or both finish and start date? Just want to make sure I don't violate any rules, since I routinely place books on my "currently reading" so I know which ones to read next and then update with REAL dates read

ok and we don't get our tasks until then, correct?

correct for now, but they might give our tasks early to ease into it BUT we can't start the books until 01/01/18. Will know mor..."

Sounds good. I have been beefing up my POFM list to show all books I own that I need to read so I can hopefully do quick searches from work to find stuff I can start

I can't wait to start this :) Only a few more days!

Minx (and everyone) have you seen this?

Yeah me neither! Was just curious

All done.

You can see them even if you're not logged in by goin..."

YAY

Do we need to start claiming tasks or can we read for a task more than once. I was confused on this in the rules

Why does Team Wooden Sword have more points?

Minx -The Genre Minx wrote: "Basically you guys will read for a task and Joanne and I will sort the books and log them. If two books fit the same task we will look into what other task they can fit and claim that one. Once we ..."

ok sounds good :)

Please welcome your new team member:

Sophie

Welcome, Sophie!

Hi everyone :)
I must admit I totally forgot I signed up to this challenge so it's thrown me a little (bear with me!)

I created an account on the companion website but for some reason it doesn't seem to like my ID 11953075-sophie. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if its an admin thing? I therefore have no idea what the tasks are lol.

Welcome Sophie. Excited to have you join us!

Welcome Sophie

Hello Bat'leth!
Just out of curiosity...

My team noticed that your total went down $100 at the very very end. Was it from self-reporting error(s), or did y'all try to challenge something and lose? If it was the latter... what were you trying to challenge?

*chin hands*

*Cough* looks away...
