Hello, Mango Tango champs! Let's get this show on the road!!!

This thread will be for discussion of books, keeping in touch with each other, encouraging each other, possible mini-challenges/read-a-thons, team updates, etc.

Keep it (relatively) clean, be nice to each other, and have fun!

Evana and I will be your team captains! Ask us if you have questions. Keep in touch with us! :)

Here's our team spreadsheet. It'll be updated every few days (possibly more often considering I'm a little OCD sometimes, I mean, I'm an accountant... I obsess over spreadsheets and numbers!).

The first tab is our team information. The columns should be pretty self-explanatory, and there is a key for the symbols. The second tab won't be updated daily, probably twice a week, and compares the team and has a dandy little box at the bottom telling you who is IN THE LEAD!

Off to the right on the Team Comparison tab, you can see who is in first, second, and third with fancy gold, silver, and bronze colors! :)

*nosy impatient person not-in-this-team peeking in here*

Great spreadsheet, Steven! I love that you used a mango colored font!!!

Good luck, everyone! Steven is so fun, I'm sure you'll all have a great time in this team.

Thanks, Teresa. Which team did you end up on? I'm pretty sure the only person I know on my team is Barb! :)

I agree... I'll probably spend a while snooping around here, Steven was the junior member of the A-team, so I feel a little like a mother hen :D

That's good. Maybe I'll recognize them all after they've joined and I see their profile pics! X)

Hahaha mother hen, huh? You'd have had me when you were 9!!!

But I appreciate all the Steven-love. I am pretty adorable!!!!! *giggles*

Thanks for deleting that thread, Sonia. Remove all evidence of my poor direction following skills! :)

OK, now is really done!
(It had to be the hard way le sigh)

Yep, mother hen, ask my little sister - she was born when I was 9, is 22 cm taller than me, but I turn a real lioness if someone or something tries to hurt her.

:)

Yes, you are adorable, in a dorky-reader way *giggles back*

:)

I ended up on B'dazzled Blue, which hasn't been accepted yet because I think captains are still doing whatever they need to do or maybe they are offline. Anyway, I volunteered to captain another team if I'm needed since you're making it look so easy now, haha. So, we'll see if I end up elsewhere to get another team off the ground.

*waving hi to Steven* So ... smaller teams this time around, but a smaller goal number as well, could be interesting. Let the reading begin -- or continue? LOL

*waves at Barb*

Have you join the sister group and challenge yet? No? why not? Steven's one book read is hanging there all alone...

I've sent my request to join the group, waiting as patiently as possible for it to be approved. Poor mods, they have to be going a bit crazy getting this all worked out :)

I have a feeling I'll be stalking visiting this group a lot because I recognize quite a few Team A names. Somehow, I think I'll be able to visit more of the groups in this round because it seems like with smaller teams I'll find it easier to get to know everyone else a little better this time around.

Sonia -- what team are you on? Or are the mods not joining teams until everything is squared away?

We stand as a backups for now.

I begin the assignments on one team, but now I'm teamless (it is so a word)

The good part is that I don't feel*giggles* like spying every time I jump from thread to thread

I don't know what could possible give you that impression!

weird thing, I actually manage to keep a straight face while writing it *giggles*

I did request to join, I swear! As soon as it's approved, if I understand the process for this round, Steven's book won't be the only one hanging out there on our team shelf :)

Ok, give me a minute. I'll do that the hard way :)

Off course that means you have to add me back *giggles*

LOL Sure will :)

Barb, you already are a member :P
Lisa Kay was faster than me... again *giggles*

Oh wow, thanks -- to both of you :)

so now you can join the challenge :)

It's not too bad, Teresa! You can do it. And if you want, you're always welcome to *ahem* request to the mods to join my team! :D

YAY Barb is on the board. I think I'll be OCD and update the spreadsheet immediately!!!

I just did -- and now Steven's book isn't all by its lonesome! I hope to add at least one more before the day is over :)

Hehe, Steven. That's so tempting but I really don't want to make them crunch more numbers than necessary. LK is crunching numbers for me as it is, I'd feel like a pest requesting to join a team that's already got an established goal. It's cool, I'm sure wherever I end up it'll be a nice little home. I just hate that I work today, lol. SIGH! Hehehe. Okay, off to work!

Barb, check out the Google Spreadsheet for our team and see what you think of it! :)

FYI: Just to drive Steven a little crazy, I added a new member... and changed his total. **hee hee**

*waves bye at Teresa*

*Laughs so hard that wakes the cat*

So, just to clarify, do we need a specific goal just for Round 2?...Also, do we need to make a new category in our books (my Round 1 category for this challenge was 2013-in-2013, for example) or should we should we still use a new one?

Hi JanBressmom! Welcome!

You can keep the same bookshelf. Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ challenge tool will pick up any books FINISHED within the challenge dates set up and automatically count them towards the new challenge. :)

Also, be sure to input the same number you put as your goal for Round I, the whole year number, on the challenge setup for Round II. :)

Looks good -- but it'll be better when there are more books added to it :)

I'll go find that spreadsheet for members again and update mine, Lisa Kay! :D

Glad you told me that too, because Mary J was moved out of my team too!!!

If Steven wasn't so busy right now, I'd tease him with the whisper that his team is not on the first 3 places, but I'm not an evil one.

*giggles*

That's okay. We're still beating Wild Blue Yonder, the smacktalkers!!!

The team's are still on adjustments... we can't talk about totals...yet! :P

True, but 2 books read beats their one. Electric Lime has 5. :)

yep.

Wait, I was on the winning team before stepping out? Oh well, on round one, team A was the leader for the first 3 weeks - we were the first team to have all the members joining the challenge, that made the initial difference.

Hello everyone - I have sent my request to join the group so I am just waiting patiently - I have also renamed my shelf to reflect my current team...

Sallie, I haven't received a "request to join" from you. Either the eMail is hinky or super slow; could you please request again? Thanks!

I just joined the challenge. I finished a book yesterday, so we now have three books towards our goal. I'm going through the books I plan to read this year and putting them on my shelf.

Good luck team!

Welcome ladies... I'm working on adding you to the spreadsheet! :)

Has anyone heard from Jane? She didn't set a bookshelf as far as I can tell.
