Can I shamelessly try and convince more people to join Team Toppler? ;)
And can I shamelessly try and get people to leave the Topplers and come over to the dark side? :D
Pfffft why would they want to leave Team Toppler for the Tippies?
Are you staging a sit-in Sue?
You poor Topplers, all you're going to do is topple some books over. We Tipplers are also going to topple some books, but we're going to get tipsy too :) And you can join us. We all know the dark side is more fun!

But we'll give them different titles :p
Or it could be a disadvantage - they'll get all giggly and silly and fall asleep. Meanwhile WE will be talking about all the great books we are flying through AND reducing our TBRs :-D
No Kat, with tea keeping us awake, who's going to sleep? Not us!
Suzie is hoping tea will stop me snoozing on this one so my books won't be toppling out my hands as I nod off ;-) *watches as all members now abandon ship and sign up for the other side! Lol*

What does that say to you?
Mintymedley will be a Toppler! I can't wait!
Minty, we must do justice to our e-mum and -- ahem-- beat the other team solidly!

Does "e" stand for excellent? :)

Now, now, Judy, no favoritism. ;)
Usually it stands for electronic and excellent and exceptional and exemplary... I'll stop now.
Maria wrote: "Usually it stands for electronic and excellent and exceptional and exemplary... I'll stop now."I thought in ya'lls case it stood for envious and enormous egos :)
Tremendously Outright Perfectly Positively Overwhelming ReadingYep, it's about the books.
Wayall... now that you mention it... yes. That too. Except that it's enviable.
aaacckkkk, help me. I'm being squashed by that enormous ego overinflating :) Hope I don't get too much goo on me when it explodes :D
Oh, it won't explode. Not until June 17th, when I'll freely admit that perhaps the Topplers are only mere mortals, dependant on tea for all energy. XDTo my other worthy teammates! I've planned out the books, I've got an idea of exactly how much sleep, food, and 'non-reading time' I'll be able to have (possibly none), and I've figured out that it's aaalll doable.

I guess it's true, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :)
(But what's a TOPPOR?)

Maria, did someone ever tell you, you are WAY organized?

I woz speakin in accent innit - gettin ready for da toppor!
No, it's just a reason why I shouldn't be posting at 3am ;)
too funny! I thought maybe it was because I was reading it at 5am :)
Pragya... no. I've been told that I'm crazy when I talk about my organization... but I've never been told that I'm way organized. Organized, yes. Crazy, yes. Way organized... now also a yes.
Ha ha! I need to learn a lesson or two from you, Maria.
XD I need to learn a lesson from other people. I've managed to slow down on writing-- now I'm not aiming ridiculously high, but reading has suddenly taken on this break-neck pace. I've got 28 books I'm aiming to read during the toppler. Granted, 14 of them are Wizard of Oz books... and they're short... but there's SOMETHING that's going to give. XDI think I've got something wrong in some neuron in my brain... something alays has to be done fast.
(To clarify-- I'm only assuming I'll actually finish 10 of those books. The Old, New, Borrowed, Blue books, at least three Fairy and three Oz books, and that's it. Anything more and I'll be astounded).
Maria wrote: "Usually it stands for electronic and excellent and exceptional and exemplary... I'll stop now."and ever so effervescent! :)
Don't faint, please!Half of them are short books. The others are really easy reads-- I've got two plays, 9 short story collections (fairy tales), 14 children's books, and then there's one entertaining travel account/love story, one classic my mom read to me ages ago, and then one memoir which I highly doubt I'll actually be able to read. So everything should be pretty relaxing if I don't get restless.
I'll be reading all day on the 16th (mostly, I'll hopefully get to meet with a friend in the airport). We also get 4 extra hours that day, and it's the airport, which means I'll be reading. On the 11th and 15th my brother has plans to sit and use the internet, so I'll have those days too. It's all doable... I hope.
You're totally right, Mikki!
Joe is in! This is my first tbr - I'm excited!
Joe wrote: "Joe is in! This is my first tbr - I'm excited!"Welcome to You'll Love This One. Joining a TBR Toppler is a great way to get acquainted with everyone as there is a lot of kibitzing and bantering going on.
Not recently, but I do think you told me at the beginning that you were glad I Welcome, Joe! I think you're the first guy in a toppler so far? (Correct me if I'm wrong, ladies). I'm Maria, 17, love reading, and I'm currently traveling for 15 months with my family, so if you hear me moaning about so-and-so random location, that's why. XD
This will be a challenge for me since I have a 2 mo old. I'll just be reading out loud to him a lot!
