Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

A place for team introductions & discussions for Team D.

◈ To view and update your books, go here!

◈ Click on view community to see how your team members are doing.

◈ You will need to elect a Team Captain whose duties include: communicating with all
    team members, making sure you have the correct number of members (not too many
    or too few - and they belong on your team), posting weekly status updates/reminders,
    and dealing with minor issues that arise. You may rotate this duty.

◈ If you would like to decide on a Team Name, certainly feel free to do so!

REMINDERS
◈ Books must be over 170 pages in length for this challenge. We will be
    monitoring this closely. Also, no graphic novels, manga, or children's picture books.
◈ Your book must have a start and stop reading date. Some of you may not be used
    to doing this. These dates can be edited in the review screen of each book. Or, if you
    update the current book you are reading from your update screen (upper right),
    it will do the dates automatically.
◈ Remember to tag every book you read to your special bookshelf or
    Team D won't get credit for it!

◈ On January 1st, if you are assigned to Team D , your desired screen will look like this:



◈ Where the red arrows indicate, fill in the fields. Remember to save!

◈ If you have NOT already made a shelf, this will create one for you. If you have already done so through your own bookshelves, be sure to put in exactly what you typed, including the hyphens between words.

A hyperlink will be added for everyone to view your books (unless your shelves are set to "private"/just friends) soon after you join the challenge on the Home Page.

Team D Happy New Year!!!! Let the reading begin here on the East coast of the USA.rofl Yiiiippppppeeeeeee!!!!!

Happy New Year to my fellow Team D members!! I'm looking forward to getting underway.

Happy New Year folks! Happy Reading!

I've already started with my first book of the year -

I am just now starting with my first book of the year . Which is my first book for team D.rofl

Are we going to have a team name?

Happy New Year Teammates!

Happy New Year everyone! I have also started with my first book of 2013 . Good luck everyone and happy reading.:)

I'm starting off the year off on a positive note with the next book in one of my favorite series, Small Favor by Jim Butcher . I am really enjoying this series!

Happy New Years to us all!

Oh, I just ♥Harry♥, Jan!

Hi Team D. Happy New Year all.
I will hopefully start my first book some time today .

@ JanBreesmom. I just finished the Dresden series last year and I really enjoyed all of them.

I have 2 books I need to finish before I can start, but I think my first 2 books are going to be &

Happy New Year teammates. I have 1 book to finish as well before I start. My first book will be

Oh, I'm also loving the Dresden series. I started Butcher's fantasy series last year (I'm so enjoying saying this even though it was only a week ago!) and it's also very good. That said, I have to continue the Dresden series. I'm upto book #8, I think.

I was about 1/3rd way through

as Dec. 31 became Jan. 1. Can I use that as my Book #1 of the challenge?

And, I agree, we need a team name. Maybe a name beginning with the letter "D"?

I've been trying to think of good D words. Dangerous Book Devourers?

And congrats to Marcella for finishing her first (our first) book!

who's the team leader? I'm a third through my first book of 2013. :)

We haven't picked one yet - there are still a good number of people who haven't signed up yet.

My first book is going to be

I'm rotating between:

I think that's fine - as long as the majority of it is read after the start.

I've finished my first book of the year - A Pirate's Love. I don't recommend it. Apparently in the 70s, "I'll rape you until you love me" was considered romantic.

Next up on my reading list:

My first book of the year is Candide ou l'optimisme by Voltaire.

Do we have any volunteers for Team Captain?

I have to apologize, I only read 118 legal books in 2012, but I pledge 100 in 2013. I will start my first book later today and I have to finish another one that won't count.

Happy New Year Team D!

I'll be starting the challenge with

Hi everyone! I've been assigned to this team. I'm so excited for this. I have my shelf all ready to go and have started my first book. I have 31 books set to read in January. Looking forward to reading about some great books.

I finally finished my book that I started a few days ago!! Now to find something to start for this challenge!! What to choose, what to choose???

Glad you found the thread and entered the challenge, Leslie! At 372 book, you are a big hitter for this group. LOL!

Donna, I see you like The Mortal Instruments. I'm thinking of starting that one, as I really liked the first in that author's The Infernal Devices series.

I've been wanting to read Unwind. Let me know what you think.

I still have the last one to read, but since I've just read the first 4 quickly, I think I want to read something else first. I just need a change of pace. :)

Yeah, go Team D!!! I listened to while I cleaned and organized my closets. It was weird but I love Libba Bray sense of humor. I just started and am enjoying it so far. Off to a good start!!!

Hello Team D! Happy New Year! Nice to meet everyone! I started reading .

Good morning Team D!

While waiting for a Team Captain, I was looking over things and it seems that we have most of our people signed up on the home page - the following people have not done so:

DeeDee
Diane ~Firefly~
Jessica W
Michelle (GeekGirl)
Sallie(Shuga)

I also peeked at the other groups and here is where we stand:
Team A - 11 books
Team B - 10 books
Team C - 6 books
Team D - 6 books

Thanks to Marcella, Alley, Gayle, Carol and JanBreesmom for starting us off with a good start!

Good morning, Team D, and Happy New Year!!

I'm currently reading The Rembrandt Affair by Daniel Silva.

What's up Team D?! I am totally stoked to be a part of this challenge! I look forward to getting to know you guys while reading some really great books! Good luck everyone! :-)

I was going to suggest Dangerous Divas but we do have one gentleman in our group which is why I came up with Dangerous Devourers as in we Dangerously Devour all books :)

I am horrible with names...

I like that one, Rebecca. Dangerous Devourers! You could also do it all with "Dangerously Devouring All Books."

Oooh, that works too! Dangerously Devouring All Books

How about Dangerously Determined to Devour All Books
