Hiya, Teammies! :D
I'm looking forward to another round of BSB!

Okay, so, names. All I can think of right now are DOZEN-type names (Dirty Dozen, etc). I'm happy with whatever name ya'll like. I'll try to think of some ideas after uni. Gotta get to school. Hope everyone has a great day! Lookin' forward to chatting soon!

Rushed off before saying I'm now in Cali. Where's everyone else located?

[Kari]

Hey Steph! Excited to get a round with you! Hello to everyone else *waves* I'm Kari and I'm from Colorado.

If we don't go with a dozen type themes we could play off time and do like Midnight Readers or Midnight Oil Burners. I don't know about you all but most my reading goes late into the night :)

[Isha]

Hey Team! I'm Nikita and I'm from New Zealand. I'm horrible at coming up with names but I like the midnight suggestions Kari.

[Jackie M]

Hello! I'm Jackie from Minnesota.
I am thrilled to be playing R7 with you ladies!

I kinda like the midnight idea. I'll be back in a bit with some ideas.

[Isha]

I've checked the card Steph and it looks good.

[Jackie M]

I'm sending out friend invites to you Kari, Nikita, and Christina.

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Hello, ladies! I'm Christina, and I live in Kentucky.

I'm also stuck on the "Dozen" theme -- though more along the lines of calling ourselves things that could come in sets of twelve: Cupcakes, Eggs, Calendar Girls, Days of Christmas. I like the Midnight idea and will take it one step further...NOON! ;-) Ladies Who Lunch???

Though she didn't mention it this time/yet...I pretty sure Steph would prefer *NOT* to be team captain. I've done it before, so I'm willing to step up again if no one else is interested -- I may not be the chattiest person, but I'm pretty good at checking in and keeping things organized. The only issue will be in late July, when I'm at Ranger Rendezvous, which will be for only a week.

[Jackie M]

If you want to be team captain go for it Christina, I can fill in for you in late July as I have been team captain before.

I am drawing a complete blank with names, for me this is the hardest part of bingo lol.

[Kari]

I'm good with whoever being team captain. I have experience with it however with my work schedule I'm more than happy to sit back and let someone else worry about it :) if you need any help with anything let us know though!

[Isha]

I've been in other team challenges but this will be my first time playing BookShelf Bingo so I'm good with whoever wants to be captain as well.

Any questions yet? Have you decided on your FREE SPACE book?

[Isha]

Nope no questions right now, seems easy enough right now. I usually don't plan my book ahead of time but I'll probably read Heart Of Obsidian for free space, which reminds me that I'll need to be careful about reading any review about that book since I don't want any spoliers before I get to read that book including who the main characters are.

[Kari]

Thanks for stepping up Christina! We all appreciate it. I'm excited to start playing!! I think my free space book will probably depend on whatever the first shelf called is, I will try to match them up so I can knock out the first 2 in a series. I have a whole bunch to start so it would work well for my TBR list!!

You're welcome! :D

Same here! Normally, I wouldn't buy the HC, but I knew this one would be very hard to avoid spoilers for, so I ordered it months ago. I'm reading it for the FS -- thankfully Lis posted it in the new release folder, otherwise it would not have been eligible as a FS book. It wasn't there before and it isn't on SOS's bookshelf (the last time I looked).

[Kari]

So I started the Game of Thrones last week and now I am madly reading to get it finished before first shelf is called. I'm about halfway!

[Jackie M]

How do you like The Game of Thrones Kari? It looks good to me, but I just haven't gotten around to reading it.

I'm not sure what I'll read for my free space book yet. I'll have to wait and see what I'm in the mood for.

[Kari]

I'm 400 pages in, so halfway and so far I love it!! It helps that I watched the first season of the TV show before I started the book though. The TV show is excellent as well, I'm definitely surprised at how true to the world they have stayed so far!

There are an awful lot of POV in this book and having an introduction to the world made getting into the book less complicated. That being said, the book is extremely addicting and I predict I will have no problem finishing it quickly!

The real test will be trying to juggle my desire to finish the rest of the series versus shelf books haha.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi, Ladies! I'm swamped with uni course work at the moment, which sadly means not enough GR time or time to read good books. >:/ But, I'm super excited about getting going with R7. Really happy to get a chance to play along side you lovelies.

Thanks for volunteering to sport the Cap Hat, Christina! :D

I like going with a name with Midnight in it. Cool use of the number 12. We could also go w/something 12noon-related, like someone else suggested. Maybe "Afternoon Delights" LOL! I'm drawing a blank, actually, but will try to throw out some add'l suggestions soon.

[Jackie M]

I am just gonna throw some name ideas out there.
Midnight Bookies
Midnight Warriors
The Midnight Hour
Long After Midnight
Midnight Magic
Midnight Angels
Midnight Run or Runners
Naughty Nooners
And that's about as creative as I get lol.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I like those, Jackie. My mind tends to run on the dirty side, so I like Naughty Nooners best, I think. I loved the movie, Twelve Monkeys, so that comes to mind when thinking of names with the #12 in them.

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Jackie M said: I'm not sure what I'll read for my free space book yet. I'll have to wait and see what I'm in the mood for.

No problem. :)

Kari said: The real test will be trying to juggle my desire to finish the rest of the series versus shelf books haha.

If they're on the weekly shelf, I say go for it. Actually, you could even read one for the FREE SPACE, as the series is shelved on SOS's bookshelf. :D See, guilt-free reading. ;-)

StephB said: Thanks for volunteering to sport the Cap Hat, Christina! :D

You're welcome! One less thing for you to worry about for the game.

Team name: Steph said "Afternoon Delight" and I thought "Godiva Truffles".

The Midnight Hour --- Kitty Norville!

Waffles of the Apocalypse.

Message #15 is now set up for tracking our reads and stamps.

[Kari]

I kinda like naughty nooners too hahahah

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:) GdMTA, Kari!

Names, names, names ... what'cha think, ladies? I'm cool with whatever the group decides. I'm not thinking of much in way of creative team names, but here's what I've come up with so far:

The Number
District 12
12 Monkeys
12 Steppers ('cuz we're all serious series addicts)

Random
Judge & Jury (12 people on a jury)
Bibliobabes

Midnight/Noon
Midnight Mavens
Naughty Nooners

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Judge and Jury -- we are, sort of, judging books and it still a nod to the team number. I like it. :-)

I'm good with anything, really. :-D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Thanks. Yeah, me too. :D

[Jackie M]

I like Judge and Jury that's the one that gets my vote.

[Isha]

I'm fine with either Naughty Nooners or Judge & Jury.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Guess we should start narrowing them down and pick somethin' soon 'cuz shelf will announced tomorrow sometime. :D YAY!

I'm totally fine with whatever everyone likes. But, if I had to pick my faves, it'd be the same as ya'll - Judge & Jury or Naughty Nooners - in no particular order.

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Since I couldn't decide, I went as far as putting the names in a box and picking one -- Naughty Nooners. :D

[Jackie M]

Naughty Nooners we are, great way to make the call Captain!

I want to give you guys a heads up that I may be MIA Sunday and Monday due to a death in my family that requires a twelve hour drive to Nebraska. I didn't want you ladies to think I bailed. I probably wont get much reading done either because reading in the car gets me carsick. I'm still not sure if I am going, I'll. Know for sure tomorrow.

[Kari]

Sorry to hear about your family Jackie :( No problems if you have to leave though take care of yourself!!

Christina - For now put my free space down as A Clash of Kings and if it fits the first shelf called better or anything like that I will change it up from there but I'm so thoroughly addicted to Game of Thrones right now it's a sure bet i'm diving straight into that one as soon as I can!!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

So sorry to hear that Jackie :( All my sympathies to you and your family.

[Isha]

Jackie I'm sorry to hear that about your family, hope you take care of yourself.

Sorry to hear of your loss. And no worries, Jackie. Family's more important than the game.

Done. :)

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Shelf:

assassins

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Kari, Book 3 is on the assassins list. So you can read book 2 for the FS and the 3rd for assassins. :D

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

I'll be reading The Better Part of Darkness

It's been on my shelf for awhile.

[Kari]

Christina you are awesome haha! I'm definitely on board for that plan :)

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

:D Thanks! I happened to notice it because it was the last book on page 7 of the shelf.

I'll put you down for A Storm of Swords. If you change your mind, let me know. :)

[Isha]

I'll be reading Halfway to the Grave for the assassins shelf.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Jackie! Thinking of you and yours!

Naughty Nooners! Love it!

Assassins! Off to scope the list and find something to read. I'll be back shortly with my book choice. Go, team, Go! :D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Honestly, I'm not sure which book I want to read from this shelf. I am thinking I'll read . I'll let ya know if I change my mind.

Happy Reading!

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]
