Play Book Tag discussion

Want to participate in Poll Ballot Tally? Sign up here by posting your interest as well as how many books you have read in 2019 up to this point.

Still need more information before deciding? Review the description of the challenge on this thread, and feel free to ask questions there as well.

If you want to play, then please sign up by December 22nd. To sign up, check out our sign up thread. The admins will then divide everyone in two teams and will announce those teams on December 26th.

You can sign up after December 22nd as well--and even into 2020--but if you know you want to play please sign up sooner rather than later so we can make the teams as even as possible. This Challenge will run from January 1, 2020 until 8:00 PM EST on Tuesday, November 3, 2020.

I am in-Wow~ you all are awesome this is a great challenge!

This sounds like so much fun. Count me in.

I've read 315 books so far in 2019

Great! Please let us know how many books you read in 2019.

We are using this fact in order to balance the teams when we divide everyone up!

As of right now? I cannot find that instruction anywhere-do we post it here?

I'm in.
(I read 57 books this year)

I want to be part of the process!! (Hubby and I were JUST talking about the electoral college last night at dinner....)

I've read 165 books to date in 2019.

Yes, post it here. And read up to this point is fine.

The instruction is in the very first post and is even underlined ;)

I'm in. I've read 83 books in 2019. This sounds like fun.

Hahaha! I am also still on my first cup of coffee. I need at least one more to really be functioning at 100%

I would like to sign up. I have read 85 books so far this year.

I'm in. I've read 142 books so far this year.

I'm in. As of today I have read 111 books this year, though the year end total will be at least 115.

If admins can join, I'm in! I've read 163 books this year so far.

Count me in. I've read 70 books so far this year.

Sure, I'll play.
119 books to date.

Holy smokes that's impressive. And then as I look through, I realize I'm really at the bottom of the PBT bell curve . . .but 315 has to be at the other end.

I'm in. I've read 164 so far this year.

Admins can definitely join!

I will not be playing and will be administering the games, so Anna, Cindy, and Anita can play this and Bingo if they like! Of course, admins forfeit any prizes.

I’m in! According to GoodReads I’ve read 154 books but I don’t log all the books I’ve read on here. I’ve actually read 374 books so far. I’m hoping to hit 400.

I will stay out so I can help administer and/or act as a backup.

Sign me up! And I will end up the year having read about 40 books.

I’m in! I’ve read 12 books this year.

I will play.

I have read 51 books so far.

I just asked about this behind-the-scenes! :-) I knew I'd be doing this individually, but I wasn't sure if we wanted admins as part of the teams.

Sounds like we'll be on teams, as well, so I'm in here, as well!

I've read 164 books up to now for this year (and will likely finish 165 today).

Sign me up. This sounds like a lot of fun.

I’ve read 95 so far but may drop next year - pitch it around 80 for team purposes, Nicole?

I'd like to join as well. It's a really creative idea! I'm currently at 144 books for the year.

I’m in. I’ve read 88 this year, but some are shorter plays or graphic novels, so I probably should count as 70-75

I'm in, I've read 41 books so far this year and now feel a little dejected. I've never been at the bottom of a bell curve before.

My reading has been slow this year. I have only 37 so far. Hoping for a better next, maybe this will be some incentive. Count me in

I'm in- I always participate. You guys are clever and we always appreciate into how much hard work goes into the fun behind the scenes! Well done!

I'd like to try it I have read 62 so far, but this is 23 more than last year!

Amy, let us know how many books you have read this year to help us make evenly matched teams!

I’ll try this one, too. Have read 43 books.

I would like to join the fun too! I have read 42 books so far this year.

I would like to join. I’ve read 12 books so far this year.

I'd like to play. I've read 41 books so far this year.

Nancy, just let me know for sure when you decide.

I’m in for this one too. I’m excited!

I have you all down to play! So glad our members are always willing to give out crazy ideas a chance!

I would like to sign up for this. I have read 101 books (with more than 150 pages) so far.

Thanks.

I'm in; 96 books so far, and that's with taking a couple of months "off".

Forgive me. 100 bucks. It’s my standard number three years running....

Okay, I'm in after all,now that I know I don't have to read every state AND I can read more than one book for states I do read. I have truly read books that fit all 50 tags even if they aren't listed on those shelves, so am not doing this to stretch my tags :)

Now I have to sign off and read or, for the first time in some years, I will be reading less than 100 books this year, which is highly unusual. I usually read more than 100 books per year, but less than 150. ETA I am working on getting to 100 books by the end of the year!! I have a plan and my schedule is moving toward holiday mode re: driving, etc

I will join. I am on the low end with having read 20 books.

OK, I'm in - so far I've read 74 books (probably a few more in real life, but I've got behind in posting reviews over the last few weeks...)

As usual, I'm all in!
I'm at 63 books this year as of today :)
