Steph’s Comments (group member since May 22, 2010)

Steph’s comments from the SOS: Serious Overload of Series group.

Sounds good. I sent her a PM earlier today. Hopefully she’ll pop on soon.

Love that! 👻

And, I love those name ideas. My favorites are:
* The Coven of Critics
* The Midnight Readers

Some leftover, unused names I’ve saved:
* Book Bingers
* Know Thy Shelf
* Lit Happens

I’m easy and good with whatever y’all like best 😊

🤞🏼 My shelf pic is new to me, too, but Sandra liked it and we tend to have the same tastes in books. The FS book is one I’ve been anxiously awaiting. My husband and I both love that series. They’re all on KU, if you have it.

Just FYI: I’ll be at my nephews’ joint bday party tomorrow, so I’m not sure how active I’ll be online.

Oh, meant to say earlier, I’m in VA 😊

Shoot, also meant to remind y’all to check the “notify me when people comment” box so you’ll get alerts. K, that’s all, for now, promise 😆

That’s cool! I’ve added you as cap, Laura 😊

Hi 😊 Hope y'all had a good Halloween, too. Sadly, we don't get any trick-or-treaters in our complex, which saddens me b/c we're childless (with cats 😆 <-- USA BS joke; did ya see the Taylor Swift news?) and I 😍 Halloween! It's my favorite holiday!

LOL! No worries, I tend to ramble anytime I start typing. 😆 Happy to be on a team with y'all. Hopefully Louise will pop on soon. I'll shoot her a PM with a link to our group. These GR notification changes are a serious PIMA! 😡

I'm unable to be captain, so I'd be happy for ya to take the reins, if you're willing.

I'll pop back with some team name ideas in a bit.

Let's get this party started! Shelf is up:
Shelf #1 ~ 1 Nov: D - "Drizzle" or dragon(s)
Requirement: Choose a book using one of the following options ...

* For "drizzle", read a book with rain on the cover, 'rain' or 'mist' in the title, series or author's name or a wet character on the cover

* For dragon(s), read a book found on one of these shelves: GR dragon, GR dragons or SOS dragon

I'm going to check out .
FS Choice: (#3-SOS bookshelf)

Shelf #1 ~ 1 Nov: D - "Drizzle" or dragon(s)
Requirement: Choose a book using one of the following options ...

* For "drizzle", read a book with rain on the cover, 'rain' or 'mist' in the title, series or author's name or a wet character on the cover

* For dragon(s), read a book found on one of these shelves: GR dragon, GR dragons or SOS dragon

Sorry for burying that one 😆 it was unintentional.

I've added this reminder to the rules page: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

All books must be 200 or more pages. Graphic novels are not allowed. Since our group focus is on PNR & UF series reads, I'd prefer to keep it to books of that nature, but it's not a requirement. Re-reads are allowed once throughout the entirety of the game. Anthologies, should they fit the category or shelf, are allowed.

Still, WTG, y'all! I'm not a big fan of time travel either 😝

Great, thanks, I'll add you to the list now. Let me know if you need to come off the list.

Happy R26, y'all! 📚
