Good morning team!! My name is Paris and I'm super excited to get started with Bingo again! I'll start trying to brainstorm team names. Also, I hope ya'll don't mind, but I'm gonna add you as friends.As far as team captain goes, I was captain last round and would gladly be captain again. I really enjoyed doing it. I'm super organized and am pretty much on Goodreads all day long (even though I'm not supposed to be).
Some things about the number 17 that we might be able to use in our team name...
* 17 is the 7th prime number.
* 17 is the sum of the first four primes
* 17 is the least random number, according to the Hackers' Jargon File. This is supposedly because in a study where respondents were asked to choose a random number from 1 to 20, 17 was the most common choice.
* In the United States, the age at which one may watch, rent, or purchase R-rated movies without parental consent
* The title of Seventeen, a magazine. (Oh I loved Seventeen magazine when I was younger...all those hot guys...)
* The number of syllables in a haiku (5+7+5).
* In the Nordic countries the seventeenth day of the year is considered the heart and/or the back of winter
* A slang term in the medical field for a psychiatric patient (we are all kinda crazy right...for books anyway lol)
Hello everybody.I won't say good morning because I'm from south-eastern Europe, so here the sunset in progress. :)
This is my first Bingo game, so tell me if I do anything wrong and I will probably ask some stupid questions. o:)
Hey, I'm Gen and this will be my first SOS Book Shelf Bingo. Paris, you have my vote as captain since you seem very organized and I know how much important that is because I'm captain for the CCC's Bookshelf Battle Team Challenge. I got a good feeling about this "Bingo" and I hope everyone will have a lot of fun.
Wow so many suggestions... But I can not make any good combination with them. :/My only idea for team name is 'the last, but not the least' (because we are the team with biggest number). Not very original.
I tried reading at wiki about 17 but the only thing that was interesting to me was: A slang term in the medical field for a psychiatric patient LOL
BTW Thanks for the friend request Paris. :)

I liked A slang term in the medical field for a psychiatric patient too. So I was trying to figure out how they used it, but I can't find anything. We could do something like:Book Crazy
Reading Madhouse
Or we can do something completely unrelated and think of some S words and do an alliteration.
Savvy Seventeen
Sassy Seventeen
Sexy Seventeen
Saucy Seventeen
Speedy Seventeen
Schemin' Seventeen
Or some unrelated to our team number...(these don't have to be alliterations, I just can't seem to stop with them right now lol)
Series Sirens
Reading Rebels
Novel Ninjas
I like 'Reading Madhouse' :)'Novel Ninjas' sounds good too.
How about the 17th. Book in a series.Anita Blake 17th - Skin Trade
Piers Anthony - Harpy Thyme
Lyndsay Sands - The Lady is a Vamp
Buffy - Return of Chaos
Happy for you to be team leader Paris.

That's one thing I love about Bingo, there are so many people in different places around the world. I'm in Seattle, Washington.
And there are no such thing as stupid questions. Ask away. I'm happy to answer any question you have and explain anything that doesn't make sense.

From what I've heard the Bingo games are similar so you should be able to jump right into this one. Please don't hesitate to ask questions if you have them. I have a good feeling about this round too. Team 17 FTW!!!

Hi Caroline!
I like that idea too. We could also use Smokin' Seventeen which is the 17th book Stephanie Plum series.

Nice idea. :)
I tried to play with names of novels in Stephanie Plum series:
Seventeen to Get Deadly
Seventeen to Score
Hot Seventeen
Seventeen on Top
Lean Mean Seventeen
Fearless Seventeen
Finger Lickin' Seventeen
Sizzling Seventeen
Smokin' Seventeen
Explosive Seventeen
Notorious Seventeen
Although I still like 'Novel Ninjas' the best. :)
BTW It seems that in all excitement I forgot to write it, but Paris has my vote too. :D
Yay! So excited for R6! Paris, you have my vote for team captain. I'm from Fort Worth, TX...and no, I don't have any cows or cowboy boots ;). I like the medical term line of thinking for a team name. I'll have to think about it a bit and see if I can add anything. I'm going to friend everyone as well. Good to see you again, Caroline!Oh, BTW...I changed my name from Jennifer to JenniJenni. Too many Jennifers out there.
Hi everyone!!! Im excited to be reading for this challenge once again...Paris has my vote for Team Captain also. Im in SE Illinois, a small town about 45 miles NW of Evansville Indiana. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Here are some more alliterations:Serene Seventeen
Sadistic Seventeen
Salacious Seventeen
Sardonic Seventeen
Seismic Seventeen
Serial Seventeen
Supersonic Seventeen
Supernatural Seventeen
Synergistic Seventeen
It's great to meet you Jennifer (or would you prefer Jenni?) and Sallie. I can already tell we've got a great team. Thanks for your confidence in me for team captain. I am going to enjoy being the captain of the winning team!We've got some really great ideas for team names. I'm trying to figure out a way to narrow them down. I've compiled a list of suggestions so far. Does anyone have any others? Maybe we'll stop taking suggestions sometime tomorrow (Thursday, the 13th) and then everyone vote for their favorite (or top two) and then from there we can vote to narrow it down to our final name.
Or if anyone has a better idea I'm all ears.

Also something to think about (I promise my last post for the day, lol). Here are the rules on Free Space. The sooner we get it out of the way, the better. So if you want to pick a book as soon as the first shelf is called and read it after that, great. No worries though, whenever you get it read is cool.To get free space credit, each team member must pick a book from one of these three options:
** Please keep in mind that all books chosen during the game must be a minimum of 200 pages and graphic novels are not allowed.
(1) An SOS Book of the Month: Any month while the game is in play
OR
(2) A book off of any of the group's new release thread folder or the group's new release thread archive folder: Any book listed on one of the new release threads; no matter the date of release
OR
(3) A book off of the group's bookshelf: Any shelf or tag; No date restriction - books added at anytime may be chosen
Be sure to post on your team's thread: which book you chose for FREE SPACE credit, which of the three options above you used to pick your book, your rating and your review once you've read it.
Once all members of each team have posted the above information, your team will get "a stamp" in the FREE SPACE. :D
Members don't have to pick and read a book right away, they can, but it's not required. This is not a team read, each member chooses their own book TBR for their team's free space credit. You can choose which book to read and when to read it, but no team will get free space credit until all members have read, rated & reviewed a book chosen from one those options.

Stupid question #1: If we pick a book, can we change our choice later, or not? :)
Dragana wrote: "Stupid question #1: If we pick a book, can we change our choice later, or not? :)"Absolutely. You can change your mind as many times as you need to. I've already changed what I'm gonna read for my free space book 5 times. Last round I went through the first three chapters of three (or was it four?) different angel books before deciding which one to read.
Dragana wrote: "Stupid question #1: If we pick a book, can we change our choice later, or not? :)"Dragana, last round was my first and it was much easier than I thought it would be. The girls on my team were awesome and answered any and all questions while not making me feel stupid. That being said, we were all BSB virgins at one time, so no question is a stupid one. Try to remember this is for fun. :)
You guys can call me whatever you want. I changed it because there are a couple of Jennifers participating.
Thanks for stepping up, Paris! You ROCK!
Hi, Sandra!!!

I usually try to read the whole book but sometimes it happens that I give up after 10-20% if I don't like it until then.

Hello Jenni, thank you for your kind words and encouragement.
When I wrote 'stupid question', I meant that more as a joke, not that I really feel stupid asking them. ;)
I am sorry, English is not my native language so there will be probably be times like this with literal translation. In my language, 'stupid question' in slang is something similar to 'rhetorical question'. It's usually used when you ask something that is so obvious that reply is not needed. I hope I am explaining that right. :)

You explained it perfectly! :)
Impressive name list, ladies! Have fun picking!
Alright, let's go ahead and pick a team name. The list of suggestions is Here. Post your top 2 favorite names from the list and then we'll go ahead and vote for our favorites from that list.Thanks!
My top two names from the list are Novel Ninjas and Lean Mean Seventeen.
My top two are: Novel Ninjas and Reading Madhouse. :)
My top two names are Serene Seventeen and Lean Mean Seventeen.
Vote: series sirens or novel ninjas.
Lean Mean SeventeenSerial Seventeen
Good morning! (afternoon, evening...)I hate to pick a name without Sallie's input, but I'd like to have a team name before the first shelf is called. I think I'll give her until 2 pm her time to post her top two favorite names. If we don't hear from her, then I'll post what we have so far and we can start voting.
Alright, no sign of Sallie yet so I guess we'll move forward with the names we have. So we have two options. We can either vote one last time on the 6 names that were picked as favorites. Or we could vote between the two that got the most votes. Which would you prefer?
Here is the list of the top six favorites. The two that got the most votes are Novel Ninjas and Lean Mean Seventeen (both had 3 mentions)
Novel Ninjas
Lean Mean Seventeen
Reading Madhouse
Serene Seventeen
Series Sirens
Serial Seventeen
Sorry - Im late checking in today....any other time I would have been on the computer a hundred times throughout the day...today just wasnt one of those days...I rather like Novel Ninjas for a name...if its not too late to throw my two cents worth in lol
Not too late to throw your two cents in Sallie. Totally understand. I have those days too.
Caroline and Paris, what do y'all prefer?
I'm torn. Those were my two top picks so I'm gonna sleep on it. Maybe I'll dream about them and decide that way. Lol
I dreamed about ninjas last night so my vote is going for Novel Ninjas!
So ladies, it looks like we have a name just in time for the game to start. I'm so excited!!
Novel Ninjas - Round 6 winners!!! I'm predicting it now! Hopefully Mr. Randomizer likes us.
