SO EXCITED! :-D

The challenge that got me hooked in the first place haha.

Can't wait! :D

Agree with Eldarwen, this challenge definitely made me addicted to challenges :)

Same here! Although I can't remember it haha

*claps hands*
yay!

lol Ashley!!

Oh, I didn't know it was time for this challenge again! It's going to be fun:)

Yay Tina :-)

I'm quite excited :) This was my first ever challenge and now I look forward to them. I was really hoping for an encore this year!

I want to play!

Hey! This is my 1st time here and I can't wait for it! Let's do it!

Annika, I am addicted to challenges and when I saw it I was :O omgomgomg

This was my first team challenge and it all went downhill from there. Now I'm signing up for everything out there and reading has completely taken over my life ;)

Hahaha....love this! :D


Glad you all love the team challenges! They are so fun. :)

:D

So what do you all think for team names.. Should we stick with the UNO theme packs (but different names to last time), or do you have an idea for something different?

Oh, and to answer your question from the sign-up, you can read books in whatever language you choose. You just need to shelve the right edition. (and the letters for the spell-it-out are based on the edition you read).

There's a PEANUTS pack!!!! :-)))))

And I'm guessing that means you too think we can stick with the uno packs ;)

hmmm... I'm getting the impression that you'd like to be the captain of Team Peanuts?
;)

I think she already named herself captain of that group ;)

Yes please, Karen :-D

If you go with those packs, that is hehe.

Hi all - I am new and not only am I a reading addict (alas it is incurable and I keep shooting the people who are trying to discover a cure) I am also a challenge fanatic and I have been lured here by Eldarwen!!!!

Are they chocolate covered peanuts? My favourite!!!

Snoopy is not for eating, Sally!! D-: *shocked*

But sure, we can offer chocolate covered peanuts on the side ;-)

Annika, do you want your own team this time? I kind of like the idea of you and Eldarwen competing ;)

Welcome Sally. I hope you enjoy this challenge. It is pretty laid back and just a bit of fun

*Gasp* Competing against Eldarwen? :o
What are you trying to do to us? ;-)

It would be hilarious to watch ;)

Hi Ora!
The sign up form is on the other thread. You can find the link here:

Finally got on a laptop and got around to signing up! Phew! ;) Looking forward to the fun. :)

Now I see... You want to split us up purely for your entertainment, with no thought whatsoever to the trauma you'll cause us... I'm hurt, really ;-)

Hi Karen!! Thanks.

I've been hoping for this challenge again since last year's ended, so I'm excited for it to start! :)

well.. of course!
:)

If you really want to continue as a double act that is ok too.... the rest of us will just have to try very hard to beat you guys this time!

What, Annika, are you scared?? ;-)

Whatever works best for you, Karen! Though I'm not sure what to make of the fact that you see us as entertainment haha. ;-)

Ha! Scared?
- Never! ;-)

Karen, as E said, do what works best for you :)

We shall see how many volunteers we get for captain... but you know.. I won't be able to help myself if we need Annika as a captain rather than co-captain ;)
Maybe we will have a mini challenge where you can 3..2..1...FIGHT!

teehee

I get the feeling you are plotting to set us up for a fight either way =P
This can be interesting.

E - any suggestions how to retaliate? ;-)

Hmmm, Annika, let me ponder that for a bit... ;-)

Karen, in case there aren't enough volunteers, you don't need to set me up with a co. Since I know how the game works and have done my fair share of captaining over the year, I can handle :-) (Otherwise I'll give a shout.)

Cool, thanks :)

Sure thing! :-)

I have another question: the groups will be choose randomly?

Groups will be determined after how many books you read. They try to create as even groups as possible. Which means some teams will be larger and some smaller. They also try to create groups after where you live so you'll be in roughly the same time zone.

If you have a special request of wanting someone on the same team as you, Let me know and I'll try and make it happen

Hi everyone! *waves* I've been waiting for this challenge to start!

I'm excited for this year, last year was so fun!

Hi Everyone! I've been doing Tower Teams IV but it looks like it'll be over soon! So before I go challenge cold turkey I thought I'd better sign up for something else! Plus I love UNO :)

Welcome ladies!
We will all have a bit of a break between TT and this one to get refreshed and ready to read :)

This was the challenge that got me hooked - I was glad to see it is going to happen again!

I think this was a first reading challenge for lots of people. It makes me happy that it ended up like a "gateway drug" for so many. Haha

I heard about UNO from my TT group, count me in:)
