--SIGNUP LIST UPDATED TO THIS POINT--
If your name is missing, please let me know ASAP!
Before we start ~ Be thinking about your free space book choice. Take a look at the shelf/categories for this round now so you can get an idea of which books you might wanna read, which qualify and which you'll wanna add to the SOS bookshelves for the round (allowed up until the first shelf announcement is made). Please let me know if you notice any broken links or major typos or any questions you have.
As with R26, captains will be stamping their team's bingo cards again this round.
Looking forward to another fun round of BookShelf Bingo! 😁

SOS’ 27th Round of BookShelf Bingo is about to begin! New and returning players welcome! We hope you will join us for BookShelf Bingo R27!
SAVE THE DATES:✣ Shelf announcements will be made on/around 6pm each Wednesday (EST) ✣
Mon, 24 Feb ~ Sign-up Cut-off Date
Wed, 26 Feb ~ First Shelf Announcement | Round 27
Begins
☛ Regular horizontal, diagonal or vertical 5-in-a-row needed to win this round ☚
REMINDERS:
➸ Each player must check-in a minimum of once a week following the shelf announcement. Let your teammates know which book you will be reading. We are understanding of RL issues that may arise throughout the game keeping you from posting, however, this is a TEAM challenge. Your teammates depend on you to participate and communicate with them. Your teammates and I thank you in advance!
➸ There is no way to know in advance how long the game will last. This round will be using a 5x5 card. Our last round using a 5x5 card lasted ~ 8 weeks. The shelves are chosen weekly using random.org, so there is always a chance the game could go on for a shorter or longer time period.
➸ If you wish to play, sign up below. Please pay close attention to the sign-up sheet's close date. Once closed, any additional people wishing to join us can be added to the stand-by list. Those players must be willing and able to jump in if/when needed to fill a vacated spot in the game.
Sandra and I are looking forward to joining everyone for another round of BSB! Thank you to all returning members who've participated in the previous rounds and welcome to all newbies!!

How to: Simplified for the short & sweet version of how the game works; How to: Get Started, Get Playin' & Get Winnin' for detailed instructions on how to play the game; and our Q&A thread for answers to some frequently asked questions. You are also welcome to look through the past team threads (in our Archive: Past Team Challenges folder ) to get an idea of how the game flows.
