Interested in playing?
Tell us:
✔ How many books you read per month (more than 100 pages)
✔ The continent you live in (so we can try and match time zones)
✔ Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain?

***********************
Captain's Duties
◈ Every month when the team gets their monthly UNO hands the Captain will need to work with the team to create a plan for how to read the hands.
◈ We would expect the captains to track the teams books (tip: Google spreadsheets are very useful to do this!)
◈ At the end of each month the Captain will need to check their teams books are marked as "read" and meet the page counts and submit their team's info to the moderator to have points confirmed

Signups will be recorded on this spreadsheet please check your details and let us know if anything is incorrect

woohoo! First victim player. Welcome :)

i'll be the second victim.

1.i read usually around 15 books a month.
2. I live in North America, i use eastern time.
3. I rather not be captain. I have no idea what to do.

I'm in, this sounds intriguing.

1.) I read about 10 books a month depending on book length.

2.) I live in North America and use eastern time

3.) I'd prefer not to be a captain as I really don't know what I'm doing

This sounds very interesting!

1) Last year I read 4-6 books per month (but am very competitive so there's a good chance I would read more).

2) I live in North America and use Mountain Time.

3) I'd rather not be a Captain.

1) From 3-5 books

2) I live in South America. EST (GMT-5:00)

3) I'd rather not be Captain or Co-Captain

This sounds interesting! I'm in!

1. I read between 3-5 books a month.
2. I live in North America (Central Kentucky), and I use EST.
3. I'd rather not be a captain because my schedule is never set (I'm a reporter), but if there is not ENOUGH captains by the time this starts, I'll do it.

One of my favorite games! Great idea!

1. I read about 10 books a month
2.I live in North America and I use AST

This sounds fun.

I spend about 2 hours a day commuting so I’m always looking for new things to read.

Would audiobooks be cheating? I listen to them while jogging quite a lot.

1. I read anything from 2-6 books a month.
2. I live in the UK so I’m on GMT
3. Would rather not be Captain, but will help out if pushed.

Thanks for organising this.

Audiobooks count!, you just need to check that the page count on the 'default' goodreads edition meets the 160 page requirement (or more than about 4 hours of audio)

Sounds fun!
I read between 2 - 6 books a month on average.
Live in USA...MST zone.
Would be captain if no one else wants to.

Excellent idea! I love this!

My reading varies, but at least 8 books per month.
I live in Sydney Australia
I would prefer not to be captain as I am starting a course in Feb which is going to be pretty hectic.

I'd like to join in..

2. I live in India.. IST Zone. And,
3. No.

I read around 4-6 book per month depending on how exciting they are
I live in Western Australia
I have never played anything like this before so I'm not sure if I would make a great captain but could try if there is no one else willing

This sounds exciting! :D

Usually I read 3-6 books per month, depending on how much time I have
Canada, central time
And sorry but I don't think I have enough time to be a captain :(

Yeaaaah, I think I want to try this. Sounds like a very good idea!

✔ I usually read 3-6 books month, depending on length and life.
✔ I live in Luxembourg, so I use GMT.
✔ Captain or Co-Captain should be doable if nobody else wants to.

I'm glad you're all excited by the idea!

We have a few people that will step up if needed, so we will try and have them as co-captains to those who are captains.
I don't think being a captain will be difficult, and for those who like to be organised and work on puzzles it is a lot of fun to be the captain and work out which books can go to where.
We will set up a separate captains group where you can get support and ask questions and support each other too :)

I read about 5-7 books a month.

I live in Eastern Standard Time in the US

I can be a captain or co captain but may make minor mistakes for the first few weeks since this is only my second team challenge

This is very interesting!

✔ Books read/month : 5-6 books month
✔ Live in : Pennsylvania (North America) - EST, but will be in India for most part of February.
✔ Captain or Co-Captain : No, as I would be travelling and do not want to hold things up if I do not get to update things due to travel schedules.
