READY TO STAMP?This thread is for BSB R26 stamp requests only, please and thank you.

Be sure to include:
❀ Your team's # and name
❀ Name of completed shelf or shelves needing a stamp
❀ Link to shelf reads (showing read info stated above)

Good luck to all & Happy Reading!
----- SIGNUP LIST UPDATED TO THIS POINT -----🤩 Yay! I'm thrilled so many have returned and the new "improved" notification system didn't keep ya from learning about this round. Review this round's change explained on the discussion thread and lemme know if you have any questions (preferably on that thread, to appease my OCDemoness, thanks!).
The shelf announcement page is up too, so scroll through, lemme know if you have any questions with them. Be sure to start adding your preferred reads to SOS' bookshelves now, if you can't find them @ the GR-linked shelf/ves, so you can use them throughout the game. Books can be added to our shelves up until the start of the round (6pm EST 1 Nov).
Thanks! I'm sorry it's not free for you. It's a great series; I recommend it.
👍🏼😊
😊 Happy Reading!

New Process for R26This round is going to be a test run. Captains will stamp their team's bingo card upon receiving verification of the team's reviews for each shelf.
Here's how it'll work:
✤ As per usual, I will post an image of your blank bingo card on your team thread at the beginning of the game
✤ ‼️NEW FOR CAPTAINS:
~ I will provide each captain a link to their team's unique bingo card; Save the link to your card; you'll need it throughout the game
~ When your team has read, rated and reviewed their books for a called shelf, submit a request to stamp your team's card on the Request-to-Stamp thread, as you've always done
~ This time, once we've verified your team's RRR's, we'll give you a "verified & ok to stamp" stamp; once rec'd, you may stamp your team's bingo card using the link you saved to your team's unique card
~ Once you've stamped your card, pop over to the Captain's Log thread to share your team name and # along with a link to your updated card
❰ Everything else will proceed as normal throughout the game. ❱
How to Navigate the Bingo Card Link
✤ When you click on the link you will see your team's unique card populated with the images used to represent each of the 15 shelves + 1 free space
✤ SAVE THE LINK to your card, you'll need it throughout the game (a pop-up will remind you to save it)
✤ The ≡ at the bottom righthand corner holds the menu of options for your card: Info, Share, Print, New, Clear. You will likely only use Print or Clear; Clear will erase all the stamps on your card, but a warning will pop-up alerting you if you hit it in error
✤ When you're ready to stamp your card, simply click in the appropriate square and an X will appear and remain unless 'Clear' is used

Begins
☛ Regular horizontal, diagonal or vertical 4-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 4x4 card. Our last round using a 4x4 card have lasted ~ 4 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 will 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, Judithe, 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!!

😊 no worries
Thanks 😊
😬👍🏼 I've got it waiting for me TBR. Did ya like it?
True, that can be misleading. I’ve gotten to where when a book is classified as UF, I’m expecting no/less romance and more focus on world building and character growth. The same can occur in PNR, but with that label I’m gonna assume some romance (closed door or open). Re: Written in Red, the romance fits for me buts it’s so minor that when I recommended the book to a friend I never mentioned it.
