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

Have to agree with D.A.'s call on that.

Where is that next shelf...

I'm on a "diet" of one new book a week (two the first week) with re-reads filling in the time between shelves to combat that "one chapter in and it's on the shelf called the next day" agony....

Even worse...the been-dying-for-this-new-book wait: Tuesday, August 4...new Kate Daniels (Fireworks! Joyful cartwheels!). Pre-ordered, will automatically download...and the shelf is THURSDAY 5 a.m. (ya know, those pesky time zones...) Wait...but it might not fit that week's shelf...OR just dive in and snag another book. Decisions. Sob.

I just usually pick a non-paranormal to read in between shelf calls. (one that doesn't work for any of the shelves that could be non-pnr) Or one from a shelf that I know I have a lot of books for on hand.

[Mary X]

How do author pseudonyms work? I have read the The Haunted Bookstore series by Alice Kimberly. Same author is also Cleo Coyle. So does a Cleo Coyle book count as a "new to me author" or a "same but different"?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

She'd be a same but different, Mary.

[Jenne]

There's no waiting for Kate IMO =]

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Especially as you could do a re-read Judithe :D

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

I'm killing off some downloaded samples while waiting. And feeling guilty that a library book came thru the wait list that I'm not going to start until after shelf call because potentially fits a lot of shelves.

[Mary X]

That's what I figured but thought I'd ask.

[D.G.]

I still haven't read Kate Daniels #7 (it came out during my terrible reading slump last year and I've been avoiding it ever since for some crazy reason.)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

KATE! I agree, Jenne, there's no waitin' for Kate!

[Daffodil]

I have to wait a little bit. I pre-ordered from Amazon, since I could get it for $13 and change. I couldn't resist the half off offer. However, I'm not a prime member, so to get free shipping I have to wait on the book to make the loooooong ground trip to me.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:(

[Nichole]

1 more day....

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL!

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

Hahaha! Love it!

[D.G.]

Shelf! Shelf!

[Raquel (Rocki)]

sheeeeeelf!

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

Shelf! Shelf! Shelf!

[Thenia]

While we wait for the new shelf, I updated the BSB Team Names Spreadsheet one of the ninjas (Sandra I think) had created a few rounds back. Some funny names in there!

I know that I've played more than three rounds but I can only remember three of my previous team names. G.L.O.B. (gorgeous ladies of bingo, of course) Gypsies, Vamps and Thieves and Doomsday Bingo Bunnies.

Less than two hours now.... Ahem, Shelf!

[D.G.]

Shelf, shelf, shelf!

[Daffodil]

SheEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeElf! Beating chest like Tarzan, but probably sounding more like Carol Burnett.

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ... (I'm guessing approximately 1 3/4 hours to go?). I feel like I'm doing the pee-pee dance waiting for shelf.

[Daffodil]

Remember those long car trips as a kid and how it took forever to reach your destination. It's kind of like that today.

Is it time yet?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

It's up, ladies! Go get BLOODY :D

[Daffodil]

Steph, I just noticed there's a misprint on Team 1's page BINGO card image. It reads "a bloody bess". Not a big deal, but we might be waiting a long time for that particular shelf to be called. ;D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! ;) I'll fix it for ya. All fixed!

[Mary X]

Bloody Bess sounds like an awesome name for a UF series. Just saying.

[Jenne]

That is does Mary!

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

Or a British Cozy Mystery :)

[Mary X]

OK I need a refresher course on how to link to a specific review post on a thread. I know how to do a link but I'm not sure what to put into it to get the actually review and not the whole page of posts that the review is on, if that makes any sense.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Mary, you link to the bit that has the date, time over on the right hand side - opposite the name. You use copy link location by right clicking.

Hope that enough info, if not post again :)

[Jenne]

Mary, click on the time date stamp of the post you want, then cut the URL and paste it into the HTML code.

[Mary X]

Thanks! I knew it was something simple that I was forgetting.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

[D.G.]

Shelf!

I'm suffering from shelfitis or whatever the hell is called. Lately I've been in a big sci-fi mood but since Bingo started, I'm afraid to pick up a sci-fi romance book in case the shelf is called!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I hear ya! I've been reading a bunch of CR/ER books instead of the long (growing longer) list I really wanna read.

[AH]

I'm just trying to finish some of the books that I have started. Shelf!

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

I'm catching up on my shelf read (damn work interfered) but otherwise am trying to clear off some downloaded samples and the ever perennial re-organizing shelves.

[Mary X]

I just decided to read a non-paranormal for my print book. One that I can easily put down for another when the shelf is called.

[Raquel (Rocki)]

Shelf! Shelf! Shelf!

[Nichole]

Shelf!

[Jenne]

Shelfffffffffff

[Daffodil]

Hope that works for you Mary. I picked up on my way out the door, not expecting much. New author to me, first in a series. However, I'm now thoroughly caught up in the action and it's gonna be hard to put it down. On the bright side, I may have found a author/series.

[Raquel (Rocki)]

I liked Eeny Meeny as well Daffodil.

[Ezi]

SHELFFFFFF!

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

Shelf!!!

I think my browser is tired of refreshing (I know, shelf call not due for another half hour or so)! I'm stalking the shelf announcement, the library ebook waitlist (hoping to get a particular book before BotM completely over), and waiting for one of my machines to get the Windows 10 rollout ...

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Shelf's up, ladies! :D

[Ezi]

Read a book published in 2015 (any month)
for real? I just read yesterday!
