Nope, just added them for a fun twist from last year.

Hello friends. Checking in! I love Snowmageddon for a team name.

Hello everyone! Checking in, and I like Snowmageddon as well.

Hi Donna, Snowmageddon is team 1’s name

Do we post here the books that we read? If so, any particular format?

There is a spreadsheet in message 1.

Okay! Just didn't know if we needed to post here too. Thank you

I know we have some new players this time around so I just want to clear up some confusion. Every book that you read that meets HOB standard book requirements will work for this challenge. You do not have to read for the bonus tasks, they are just for fun. If a book that you read fits a bonus task, then you get bonus points. The finish date is what counts so if you started a book before the challenge started but finished it AFTER the challenge started, it does count.

Please note that I have broken out the "snowball" wheel and spun for the completed books in your spreadsheet. The hits get 10 points but misses don't score any points. The more "snowballs" that you launch, the better your chances are of hitting someone on the other team. Good luck and most of all, HAVE FUN! (trash-talking the other team is encouraged but do it in a nice way!)

I sent a link to the one person who hasn't checked in yet. She will probably check in shortly.

Threw my first snowball, let's hope it's a hit!

My books got a snowball fight and i got so excited 😄😄

Just threw my first also. Yay Janeylou!

My first snowball is about to fly!

Omg I'm so sorry for not checking in yet!

Throwing another one!

Welcome Jennifer :)

Are we supposed to post when we throw?

Brittany wrote: "Are we supposed to post when we throw?"

No, you don't have to. Last year, the teams were posting gifs of snowballs on the other team's thread when they got hits. It's all just for fun.

You are probably going to notice an extra column in your SS. The formula broke and instead of fighting with it, I just did it the easy way ; )

The Snowball Wheel has spoken but the game is not over. You still have plenty of time to get those snowballs thrown.

Yay Janeylou. I just set another one aloft. Pray for a hit.

It's good, I read it a little over 8 years, so it was nice to revisit it
