Hey team - I'm checking in too. Sonia, great to have you as captain.
Hi team! *waves*
Thanks Nancy! Oooohhh this is going to be fun!
*waves* Hi everyone. I'm checking in from Northern Ireland. Looking forward to this challenge. :o)
Hey NancyHelen! Just popping in to wish you and your team the best of luck!

Hi everyone! I'm looking forward to this challenge with you !
So, I don't know if you opened the spreasheet already, but our first word will be ALMOND - no idea what that will mean for cover color yet... but I'll let you know soon :)
*checks cheat codes list*Yep, is brown :D

who let the cookie jar open? It atracted a sneaky Hobbit
oh, did the blue light of the stone confused you?
Yeah! Can you imagine Hobbit in pink?! Those two don't go well together.

Sonia wrote: "So, I don't know if you opened the spreasheet already, but our first word will be ALMOND - no idea what that will mean for cover color yet... but I'll let you know soon :)"I had noticed that in the spreadsheet but wasn't 100% sure if it was an example or if it was going to be our first word.
Hi everyone, can't wait to get started!
I know the rules say it is the 'read date' which counts for a book, so does that mean we can start a book for the first round now, as long as we don't finish before the start of the competition?I might claim the first 'N' if that's the case :-) - although my book could also fit 'M' if necessary.
I'm thinking of a book to to tick off "L" Depending on when I finish 1 of my current reads, it would fit "M" (but chances are I'll finish before 22nd)
I can't wait to start this challenge :) Challenges are always so much fun ;)
I checked the xls sheet - reading brown covers in dreary March seems kind of depressing,I started searching my shelves and as always I am bad with A + O.
I found 4 brown covers that fit a letter and I am willing to read. ANMD
I can't wait to read from the list I put together :)
LolI forgot I dubled you "secret weapon"
I'm having lunch now, but will set up a planning spreadsheet so we can all start planning. It worked really well last edition
Sonia, I am so happy that we are on the same team again :)
Thanks Christine!When I saw you here I made a small dance :D
OK, "internal" spreadsheet is done!Link is here - I'm going to add it to message #1.
It has edit privileges to everybody... so... feel free to "grab" a letter at will. I added a column for alternative use in case we needed to swap it.
Thanks! :)Do you think this would be ok for brown cover? (I'm a bit ambivalent)
It looks more orange than brown to me but I'll ask the "high council" :)

Yep, that's it.
we're all Europeans :)I'm from Portugal :)
I'm from Sweden myself. It helps that we all are in the same time-zone :)
thanks for the xls sheet Sonja, I won't enter any books before March 22 as I know myself I will change my mind a 1000 times before the challenge starts :)
I'll look through my to-read books and try to get an idea what I can use for "almond"It's great we're all from Europe - as I already mentioned I'm from Northern Ireland.
Hello everyone!!! Checking in!!
From here I think I only know Angel, so it'll be nice to get to know all of you.
I'm currently living on Norway.
Sonia, the spreadsheet looks great! Thanks for it.
hey Juliana !!! it's so nice to see you here :)
Hi Angel! It is nice to see you too! :DSonia, where it is the announcement for the colors assignment? *Just curious.*
I'm checking my TBR and I have to read a book for my book club's next week meeting that fits the letters M and A.
Is in the "official" spreadsheet on message #1. Karen did the spinning and prepared all for us :)

Thanks. I just copied the one Karen did and added a few things. It worked nicely last time, and since we are all Europeans in a game ran by Aussies, the deadlines are not in our favor. So, the easier we get work done, the better :D
So, all iolites have checked in, I'll start putting info together soon... I was too late to reserve some spots, so I guess I'll use my super powers and edit message #1 *giggles*I'm currently on my way to work, sleepy and grumpy and muttering about the increase of people in the train because of the metro strike. Bummer
yeah, strikes do have the (bad)habit of messing with ones schedule. Forturnately we don't have many here.
During the FMI intervention plan it was terrible, is getting better, but we still have a long way to go.
