AH | 2271 comments Hi everyone! I'm AH and I'm in Montreal, Canada (eastern time zone). I've played Bingo before and I can't wait to start!

Nichole | 1199 comments Hi All! I live in Oklahoma (CST). I'm a BSB virgin, and this is my first team challenge. I hope I don't mess up. Since this is my first time, I certainly don't want to be captain lol. I'm a little bit shy and just now coming out of my shell here. I'm trying :) I'm really excited though!

My first thought when I saw that we were team 6 was Hot Six (Stephanie Plum, #6) by Janet Evanovich .


message 7: by AH (new)

AH | 2271 comments That's a good team name.


message 8: by Mandy (new)

Mandy Beyers (mandybeyers) | 346 comments I'm also in CST - Pflugerville, TX (just north of Austin). I love BSB - I played in rounds 4, 5, and 6, plus I've played in 2 other groups.


Sallie(GeorgiaGirl) (shuga) | 1143 comments Hi everyone I'm Sallie I live in SE Illinois (Lawrenceville) about 45 miles from Evansville Indiana I'm in the Central time zone....I've played every round except R6 & I've been team captain also...

JenniJenni | 294 comments Hello All!

I'm also in CST - Fort Worth, TX. This is my third BSB. Love doing it. Can't wait to start R7!

Sounds good to me!

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a team name?

Have you been checking out the shelves yet? Picking out books?


message 13: by Nichole (last edited May 30, 2013 02:03PM) (new)

Nichole | 1199 comments Okay, I looked up six on wiki and came up with a couple of more names. I'm not saying they are any good though, LOL.

The Hex Nuts
The Senary Canaries
6-Meter Band

Other words that came up that we could play with were dice, domino, six pack, ESP....

Or we could do something totally random.


message 14: by AH (new)

AH | 2271 comments Six pack sounds good to me.


message 15: by Nichole (last edited May 30, 2013 07:22PM) (new)

Nichole | 1199 comments Six Shooters
Supernatural Sixes
Blood Sucking Sixes
June Bugs (6th month and random)
Book Ninjas (random)
Bad Monkeys (random)
Book Exterminators (random)
Okay, I'm done. I think :)


message 16: by JenniJenni (new)

JenniJenni | 294 comments So, are we nominating Sallie to be our illustrious team captain? If so, are you okay with that, Sallie?


message 17: by JenniJenni (last edited May 31, 2013 09:31PM) (new)

message 23: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 1199 comments Hi,
We had destructive weather again yesterday and I have been without power for the last 24 hours. I hope it comes back on soon, but who knows. I'm not sure what I'll be reading yet, it depends on when the power comes back on. I have Red-Headed Stepchild (Sabina Kane, #1) by Jaye Wells on hand, so it will probably be that.

Assassins Shelf

Gin and the gang are back in the 6th installment of the Elemental Assassin series. After killing Ashland's notorious crime boss, Mab, Gin is talked in to a much needed vacation. Blue Marsh is the beach town home of her little sister, Bria. While there, Gin finds herself neck deep in the typical mess she seems to always be involved in.

Randall Dekes, a very old vampire, has decided he will stop at nothing to attain the property owned by Callie, Bria's best friend. On top of that, Gin finds out that her old lover, Donovan, is now engaged to Callie. With the help of her sister and friends, Gin faces Dekes and her past with the man who broke her heart.

As always, the author delivers a great book. The writing is solid and flows well. It was nice to see the softer side of Gin. Surprisingly, even though this is the 6th book in the series, it doesn't feel like it. I really enjoyed reading the book and look forward to the next one.

JenniJenni | 294 comments For my Freespace Shelf:

Dead Ever After (Sookie Stackhouse, #13) by Charlaine Harris


message 45: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 1199 comments We have power again! Thanks everyone! We were safe, just without power. My sister lives in El Reno a couple of blocks away from I-40. They had some minor damage to the house and windows busted out of the cars. That was really scary, her kids were home alone. My sister and her husband were at work. All 3 parties in the path of the storm, but everyone made it home safe. It was a little too close for comfort and a very stressful night.

I started reading my book, and I'm pretty sure I will be reading Hunting Ground (Alpha & Omega, #2) by Patricia Briggs for my Free Space.


message 46: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments Glad to hear you've got power, Nichole, and even more happy to hear your family is safe! Very scary!


Sallie(GeorgiaGirl) (shuga) | 1143 comments Hi everyone - hope everyone is doing well...Nichole Im very glad that all is getting back to some "normalcy" scary times I know....

Have updated our book picks....


message 48: by AH (new)

AH | 2271 comments 6/4/13 Finished my Assassins shelf read
Heart of Venom (Elemental Assassin, #9) by Jennifer Estep - 4 stars

Gin Blanco is one of my favorite assassins. She is well equipped, lethal, ruthless, and she is a fantastic cook. Yup, she cooks. Kind of takes the edge off of all that killing.

I enjoyed this installment of Jennifer Estep's Elemental Assassins series. We learn more about Sophia and Gin's past, meet a sadistic killer and his equally psychotic sister. I love how Gin doesn't work alone - she is surrounded by friends and family - each of whom brings in their own special talents.

Great book, lots of action, blood, magic, and chase scenes.

JenniJenni | 294 comments Dead Ever After (Sookie Stackhouse, #13) by Charlaine Harris

Dead Ever After
Freespace Shelf
05 June 13
★★ 1/2

Well, that was a complete let down. Very anticlimactic. As the final book in the series, I thought there would be a better ending. Instead, it felt rushed and (for lack of a better word) simple. Bill and Eric were too easily dismissed from the picture and Sam was all of sudden "the one." It just seemed like Harris was ready to be finished and did just that with out too much thought as to whether it was good or not. I can't believe I paid $12.99 for this book. I feel completely dissatisfied. Don't waste your money.
