There are some good ones on that shelf too! But I was a good girl... I'm reading one..."


I own that book too and even the second one which I got signed 2 years ago when I met Gena Showalter, Rachel Vincent, and Lauren Kate.

I meant SS - I play both in the M/M Romance group - I swear, I'm not holding out on you, Breann!

I love that movie too, Breann.

Our next shelf is up ~ 'demons'
Happy Reading!"


Yes, the 4 are here, both in the M/M Romance group and the one going on in Bookie Nookie's Lending Group (Katie is running all three of the other ones I play)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Thanks for the stats, Rachel. Fun to see where we all stand.

I didn't realize BN was holding one too, Mandy, though I'm happy others are enjoying it too.

We had been trying different types of team challenges for a couple months, but couldn't seem to figure out one that worked. So BINGO it was!! And it's nice because we're borrowing/lending for all the categories. :)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Very cool idea, Breann! Sounds fun.

Thanks so much for this, Rachel! I just came to the thread to look for this info!

I don't think the game will end next week so now I know to look to prepare myself for one of the other shelves!

Lis | 4037 comments Shelf! Shelf! Plz Mr. R team 7 needs "Male Lead" or "Angels" for 4 in row...


message 514: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't know whether to wish for the "Psychic" shelf that would let us call bingo or not, I'm enjoying the game so... What the hell, I do want to win, lol

Deidre (AlaskaReader) | 267 comments NEW SHELF

I don't know how you all missed this, but all teams EXCEPT 6 have this shelf. Were I not a member of Six Sirens, I know I'd be reading How to Solve It A New Aspect of Mathematical Method by George Pólya or even The Math Book From Pythagoras to the 57th Dimension, 250 Milestones in the History of Mathematics by Clifford A. Pickover . In the reviews of the second one, it only took one reader just over a year. So you teams (except for the Sirens, of course) had best get started!

(I hope this works better than last round when no one believed me, I have no idea why, since this shelf is one of the top SOS paranormal shelves....;-})

Nothing against your team, Liz but the book I'm dying to read doesn't fit either of those,, so I really hope they aren't called!

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 541 comments Yikes! It is Saturday and I have only slept a couple of hours. I haven't finished last week's shelf (or the vampire shelf *hangs head in shame*) I guess I better get to reading or sleeping. (Probably sleeping since I have to work tonight.) :(

Deidre I decided since I've had The Numbers Behind NUMB3RS Solving Crime with Mathematics by Keith J. Devlin sitting on my shelf for a while, it's probably time to read it.

But then Steph went ahead and announced the real shelf and I abandoned that idea. It will have to wait for another day.

p.s. I'm not lying about it being on my shelf and I really do want to read it. I just keep getting distracted by all these fascinating other series instead.

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 2179 comments Forget who is keeping the nice spreadsheet of all the cards—excellent job by the way.

One tiny edit needed for team 3. Our card is 100% accurate. But, in the lower right corner, the various team stats for 3 in a row -- we do have two 3-in-a-rows stamped now (top row and diagonally from top left to lower right).


message 536: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments That would be Judithe, and when she gets a free moment she'll update all the cards :D


message 537: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 2752 comments Oh I think we're going for another week.

I just want a shelf that wasn't called in the last game...to keep it interesting you know!


message 538: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments I've been focusing on checking the cards, and keeping them update (and Rachel has super-stats here, too! Thanks Rachel~LOVE that!) as much as possible. The other is just when I have a moment (though I keep the potential BINGO shelves current). There is a date at the top of the list showing when it was updated. I will be getting to it soon, perhaps even tonight...reviews and pumpkins first!


message 539: by [deleted user] (new)

You are doing an amazing job Judithe. It seems like a lot of work, and so helpful! :D
Thank you.

Lauren (laurenjberman) Thanks so much for your hard work Judithe. I check in to the stats every now and then to see how everyone's doing and you are amazing at keeping track of everything!
