Hello team I read mainly M/M. hope it doesn't offend. you might see some mainstream fantasy or Sci fi but it is a rare occurence.

Hi team!
Good to see so many familiar people here. Can't wait to start! My TBR will be happy too.

Excited to be here...rough day today for me (had to put my dog down this morning) so im hoping this will help keep my mind off it! Excited to meet new people I've seen around, and those I've played with before!

Sorry to hear about the dog. Sending you love and happy thoughts.

So sry, Tara Jo! I can't even imagine how hard something like that is to do.

Thanks...it's rough but she's better now...looking at my TBR for the month and trying to figure out books!

((Hugs)) Tara Jo.
It must be so hard.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to check in quick. I'll be back later when I can get on my computer. Can't wait to get started though! =D

Does anyone want to be captain? I know I personally have too much going on to commit to it but wondered if we should be deciding this since we start on Friday!

Hello team! All around me are familiar faces XD but it's nice to meet some new people ;)

This challenge is a great help to get rid of a few series :D

sorry My time is limited and my home computer even more limited can't captain.

I would prefer not to captain, but can if no one else wants to.

Any ideas for team names?
I'm not good with names but here are some names I got with Team Name Generator

- Perfect Tens
- Excellent Streak Rollers
- The Titanium Readers
- Buzzing Grumblers
- Friday Magic Rollers

Any volunteers for captain duty? If nobody else volunteers, I can take the job but we have couple of people still not checked in, so lets wait.

Hi team,

How is everybody? I personally don't want to be captain this round. I have full time school and work and I have been meaning to start volunteering and maybe its the cold but I haven't gotten around to it yet. But I am willing to help the captain if needed.

Just one more name to throw in to the pool...10-acious. ( Tenacious) but I like Perfect Tens too. Or Team X (roman numeral for 10)

More suggestions with the X idea....

X-Treme Readers? or X-Treme Team
X-Files?
X-Press ...
The X Factor

Does anyone know Suzanne? Looks like she's the only one who hasn't checked in....anyone want to PM her?

I just sent a message to Suzanne, I hope she'll answer soon.

And that leads us to my nomination for the team captain, of course, if you're all happy with me :D

I'm here! Hello all!

Awww I'm so sorry, we had to put my mom's dog down the day after Thanksgiving. It sucks.

I'm all for you being captain, It's girl scout cookie season and my plate is full!

Dora wrote: "I just sent a message to Suzanne, I hope she'll answer soon.

Or you if you want to be captain, as long as it's not me I'm good to go!

I'm very happy with you being a captain, Dora!

Skandia wrote: "I'm very happy with you being a captain, Dora!"

I guess we'll have to organize speedy elections first (nothing against coup d'etat, but let's keep it democratic) ;)

I'm good with Dora being captain. =D

Of the names suggested so far, I like X-Treme Readers, Perfect Tens, and Titanium Readers the best.

My vote is for Dora (since she appears to be one of the only one is willing to do it! LOL)!

Thanks for the kind words, Suzanne...it definitely sucks and first time having to do that made it harder I think!

Oh, and how is it already GS Cookie Time??!! YAY!!!!

Dora is good for Captain as long it is not me I could be happy with anyone. I like X-treme Readers best, but I could be convinced to go with Perfect 10's.

Thank you, team, for your support :)

Right now the leading names are X-Treme Readers and Perfect 10's, what does the rest of the team prefer, which one we'll take?

I vote for Perfect 10!

Tara Jo wrote: "Oh, and how is it already GS Cookie Time??!! YAY!!!!"

I know, I'm not ready! I've already had people ask me if I'm selling this year and when they'll be in! I just got the order form last night!

Skandia wrote: "I vote for Perfect 10!"

Perfect 10 sounds good to me! And Dora can be captain!

I am okay with either name. And Dora can be captain!

Perfect 10 is fine by me.....let's do this!!!! Tomorrow is the start, right??!!! So does the roll happen tonight (i.e. midnight Thursday/Friday) or does it start midnight Friday/Saturday?

I'm very ready to start!! I'm fairly sure the first roll is tonight at 12:01 central

It's Thursday/Friday, Tara Jo!

Perfect....so I'm on Pacific Time so I'll know tonight before I go to bed (10pm for me!!!)

What area is everyone located? I'm in Southern California....

I'm in North Carolina.

Click on the countdown in post 2 for when you can roll

Lol. I got you Tara. I hope you are doing a little better about your dog. That made me sad

Thanks...it's getting a little easier day to day...now my other dog remaining is in a funk I think so we're trying to keep him active and happy and he's just a nut in general so he makes me laugh!

central time Wisconsin. Let go with Perfect 10

I am in Chicago, so I am also in central time.
