I thought about putting that in the stats, but then decided not too.

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

FYI -- the "paranormals" shelf is 40 pages and 1,959 entries.

Thanks Judithe and mods for doing that!

[Paris]

We've got a really killer team too. Totally on top of our reading. Either we're all done before the next shelf is called or shortly thereafter. Yet it doesn't matter because we are not even a blip on the radar of this game. We want a do over with a better card. lol

Don't you hate it when the Bingo Card gods are not kind?

[Regina]

Paris -- I have been there. I am hoping you all were introduced to new stuff through the bingo call or read stuff you have been meaning to read for years!

That's the way I look at it. I usually add another level to my book choices - they have to be books I have on hand or have gotten as freebies. Helps bring down that pile.

[Regina]

That is the great thing about bingo.

[Paris]

I've been reading things I've been putting off. so in that way Bingo has been helpful. Definitely trying to make the most of it.

Another question about shelves! (given I was the nosy one that brought up the business in the paranormal mix shelf :)

There isn't a 'ghosts & spirits' shelf (spelled with the ampersand.) There is a ghosts-spirits and ghosts and spirits. I assume the latter is the right one but can one of the mods confirm?

The first one has 500 more books so I need to make sure I'm not looking at the wrong shelf. ;)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi, DG. I wrote it with the ampersand for the bingo card, but the latter is the one we'll be using if Mr. R chooses it.

[D.G.]

Great, thanks! That's what I thought. ;)

[D.G.]

Steph - I just checked the ghosts and spirits shelf and it only comes out to page 9 with 424 books.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:( Okay, thanks. If Mr. R lands on that one, I'll let Judithe know to include another shelf for options. (These incorrect calculations are becoming quite annoying)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Ditto that!

[D.G.]

Shelf! Shelf!

[Regina]

[D.G.]

I've been refreshing the announcement thread every 30 seconds for the last half hour, LOL!

[Daffodil]

LOL. I keep refreshing the main announcement page in one tab, while working in another. We don't have a BINGO problem, do we?

[Nichole]

Hahaha! I'm glad I'm not alone in the madness :)

[Carlyn]

Okay I was trying to stay up for the new shelf but it's midnight here and I have to work tomorrow!

[D.G.]

Judith! Where art thou?

[Jenne]

[D.G.]

My husband want to use the computer and he's giving me the evil eye. I could check from my iPhone but it's so difficult to look for books!

Sorry...late night (and unfortunately it was working til the wee hours, not playing!), but the shelf is there now!

[Daffodil]

Thanks Judithe! Though, I think Mr Randomizer obviously made a mistake when calling the shelf. LOL.

[Jenne]

I agree Daffodil! :)

[Nichole]

Yes, I believe there was an error. Re-Shelf! Re-Shelf! Oh, alright, I guess I'll go look through that shelf. :)
