Ok so what if you start a book thinking it is for one week and don't finish it. Can you save it and finish it during another week if it works for another week? You said you can't bank books. Would that be banking?

That would be ok. The book would only count for the week that you finish it in.

Got it!

when?!??!? I am ready!!!! :)

never mind...just checked the other thread! 22/3 is too far away!!! lol

Oh, I signed up for this but failed to put a II at the end of my Wheel-a-Thon 2015 shelf name....how do I access my sign up form to correct it or does it really matter? thank you!

That's fine. I'm not sure if it matters(the spreadsheet is Kelly's baby) but I went ahead and corrected it on the spreadsheet.

Thank you Amanda! :D

Wooohoooo!!!! So glad to see the Wheel-a-thon back!

By the way....love the Google form sign-up. I used it a lot with my riding group. Time saver!!!!

Thanks Becky :)

Kelly suggested the form and we decided to give it a shot. So far, so good!

Yeah!! I'm so excited! I heard about this during Team Towers and have been PATIENTLY waiting ;)

:D I hope you enjoy it!

it's a lot of fun :)

Is there going to be a page to go to so we can see what team each person is assigned to?

When will teams be formed?

Yes we will let you know when the teams are posted. We won't do that until closer to the start date as we need to try and make teams as even as possible. (which means having first round sign-ups done and closed)

Concerning the colors of the color wheel, ie blue, green, red, etc. can that be any shade or is it a certain color?

I m in

Will college textbooks count? (just in case I happen to finish one that works for that week's word).

Any shade :)

Yes provided it is listed on GR, meeting the page # requirements, and is mostly text (i.e. not a textbook with loads of images like a graphic novel)

No the 2 I have now are loaded with text much to my disappointment. I probably won't use them for it but I thought I'd ask just in case.

If you have signed up, please check if one of these may be you, and if so, let us know!

I've been able to fix up a few of the Goodreads User IDs in the sign-ups, but the following (highlighted in yellow on the sign up spreadsheet I am unable to locate.
Please yell out if one of these is you so we can fix up the Goodreads User ID. (which is https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/ followed by a number and then a - and then a name

Name	 Goodreads User ID provided
Chris Davies	CDavies1951
Vicki Geiger 	Vicki
Stacey Crudden	boydsmom

Thanks!

I accidentally pasted something in the spread sheet for my username and number. It starts out "ludens echo" its from something else entirely. my number and username is 38777362-alex-helm
sorry about this! D:

I've signed up as "Deedee" but I didn't know where to find the (numbers)deedee Goodreads username.

Fixed Alex & Deedee

Getting excited for this! Wheelathon was one of my favorite team challenges :-)

Me too. I'm already checking out books with those tricky letters, O, U and Y.

Important
As this is the first time we are using Google forms for sign-ups, we are doing some data checking.

As part of that we have compared the stated books per month to what you read during the recent Tower Teams. These ones are showing discrepancies of more than 5 books per month and 30%. Can you please review and let us know if we should change your books per month?
We understand that reading patters change with time of year, and also the book size requirement is different, but we want to ensure we have the right data before collating teams. Thanks!

Goodreads User ID	Books p/m	TT p/m variance
3155431-lizz-neill	 3	11	 256%

6147377-danielle	 40	56	 39%
4172085-allison-ann	 25	34	 37%

I have tried to message as many of the above members as possible, but GR has strict restrictions on messages per day, so I can't send an individual message to everyone

Has a date been set to announce the teams, or did I miss it somewhere? Super excited to start this challenge! Thanks for putting it together!

Not yet Becky, we're just validating data right now :)

Okay, thanks, Karen! No rush, I'll keep watching the threads.

I didn't get a PM, probably because I'm at the bottom of the list and therefore on deck for your next 24 hour sending, but my discrepancy is because I read more in the winter but now that spring is coming I have more work and won't be reading a book a day anymore. My 25/month is correct or possibly a bit too high, we'll see how things go. :D

Me too, I won't be reading as much as during the TTIII

Thanks ladies

Mine looks good

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I'm one of the delinquent ones, but it looks like the spreadsheet has my number and name now--is that right? Am I all set?

Yep - we found you :)

Great! Thanks. :)

can you tell us how long the reserve list is. Somehow I completely missed signing up until today. I played in the last Wheel-athon and LOVED it so I'm hoping I can be a part of it this time around too!

I think you are it. :)
And I'm gonna be next one

Add me, add me!! lol Same here, didn't realize I missed sign up until I saw teams already assigned. Hoping there are a few more and we'll have enough people for a team soon enough.

Hoping I can also join the reserves list as I love team challenges and missed this one.

To be a reserve just follow these instructions (posted from other thread):

Click this link to complete your sign-up info into our google form. Any issues, please message our Mod account for help.

If you want to check that your sign up worked, or see who else has signed up, the spreadsheet we collate the data on is here

:)

I signed up, too as a reserve or whatever.

You'll have to wait for few more sign-ups. You were few minutes too late. Too bad or we'd be in the same team. :(

This challenge lasts 8 weeks right?
