Nope, not even if bribes of chocolate & margaritas show up :D

[Raquel (Rocki)]

awww no fun :( what am I supposed to do with 5 hours out of my 8 hour work night then? lol

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Read a shortie, do a re-read, read something that doesn't fit a shelf, read something that you have to read regardless!

Just like the rest of us. LOL

[Raquel (Rocki)]

lol I know its what I am doing now just giving you problems :P

[Thenia]

While we wait for the new shelf, maybe you'd like to check out the updated One Million Pages Per Lifetime Group for which I'm a new moderator. *straightens shiny moderator cap*

Apart from the obvious goal in the title and our personal threads of individual goals to read One Million Pages in our lifetime, we're doing other fun stuff in the group, like trying to reach One Million Books as a group, and seeing how long it takes us to read One Million Pages and listen to One Million Audiobook Minutes.

After taking over a couple of days ago I reorganized the whole group so it has the shiny new feel to it and is still pretty quiet, but I'm hoping it will pick up soon.

On that note, you're all invited to join and start your own personal One Million Pages and/or Minutes challenges and help chip in to the group challenges.

Shelf!

Shelf!

[D.G.]

Shelf! Shelf!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Shelf is up!!

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Thenia congrats on being the new mod :D sounds like you've got some fun challenges in the works. Nice

Oh goody I get to see what's this weeks shelf before I leave on vacation tomorrow. Yah! *Off to check the new shelf*

[Daffodil]

So has anyone read yet? Is Tybalt present enough to qualify this for the Meow shelf? Answer in spoiler spaces if you think it's necessary.

ETA:

2 more questions:
Would I be too lost if I read , since I've only read 1 of the Magnus Pack books?

Would qualify? I found it on a feline shifters list, but it doesn't say anything in the description about shifter flavors. I'd hate to read it with the intention of using it for this shelf and find out the feline shifter isn't a major character.

[KarenF]

Is a tiger-bear hybrid OK?

I gotta admit, that's not a sentence I ever thought I'd type. :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

LOL

Yes Karen :)

[KarenF]

Thanks!

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Not sure but I would like to read it, they are not shifters but lab created. Is ok?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Val, they don't actually shift. They really only have attributes of the animals.

So, sorry but nope to

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Sherri, Steph explained that she would be away from the computer till 15/16 September, so they'll be done in the next couple of days.

I'll keep audio in mind for that series if I start it....

[Nichole]

So does the book have to be on that shelf? It stops at pg. 100 with people shelving things 20x. I'm specifically asking about which has been shelved as Paranormal Romance by 2 poeple- so it's not on the linked shelf but it is shelved as PNR.

[AH]

I'm wondering the same thing? There seems to be a 100 page limit on the shelves. Is that new?

[Nichole]

It must be because it used to be in the hundreds on some things. Even having pages of (-) shelved times.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

UGH! GR, you're killin' me! Sorry 'bout that, ladies! Not sure if that's a perm change or a glitch, but either way ... An alternative way to find a book on a specific shelf is:

1. Go to the book page (for a book you'd like to read)
2. Look at the GENRES listing on the right side of the page
3. Do you see your req'd shelf listed there?
If YES, stop here, you're done/book is approved; If NOT, click on SEE TOP SHELVES
4. Look through the TOP SHELVES for the specific shelf name (in this case 'paranormal-romance', no alternatives allowed)
If SHELVED, stop here, you're done/book is approved; If NOT, keep on a'searchin'

(hide spoiler)]
So, Nichole, you're choice is good to go!

[Nichole]

Woohoo! Thanks!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

LOL That's usually the way I find if my book is shelved correctly.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

The mega stampage is complete! Thanks for your patience, ladies! I've stamped cards for teams 3-14, as requested & verified by SOS Ninjas. If you noticed a stamp missing, please let me know.

Looks like I better get busy catching up on my reviews - sad not seeing my team listed amongst the horde.

Me too :)

[Vivian]

Not that it matters for this round but I was curious if any team had 5 in a row yet and PNR gives team 9 (Donkey Punchin Kangaroos) our first for this game!

The game will last at least 3 more weeks.

Every team is 3 or 4 shelves away from a bingo (called shelves, not all are stamped).

*Disclaimer: It is a possibility I made a mistake with any of these statements. This round is not quite as straightforward as previous rounds :)

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

PNR will be team 8's first five in a row also. Every shelf called will be a square in one of the three winning patterns for every team.

Where I think team 8 is with potential wins:
| |
  4 of 9  |   4 of 9   |   4 of 9 already stamped.

This week's PNR call will get 5-of-9 for leftmost "\" pattern.

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

Vivian,
You can also check out the stats page (link below), to find out real quick.

These teams have 6 called in a winning pattern, but not all stamped yet.
(first number is stamped, second number is called!)

Team 5: 6 of 9 (all stamped)
Team 9: 5(6) of 9
Team 12: 5(6) of 9
Team 13: 4(6) of 9
Team 14: 4(6) of 9


SOS BookShelf Bingo R12 Stats July 15, 2015

*may need to revise this as I'm heading over to update the sheet with recent stamps* Nope, not yet.

Oh, and every team has at least 5 for one pattern.

I'm not sure if we're talking the same thing? I meant a literal old school 5 in a row line :)

Thanks Judithe! I was looking at the spreadsheet, not dedicated enough to go through every team thread but also didn't look closely at the numbers you had.

[Nichole]

Shelf! :D

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

Vivian,
Old school style, team 9 has 5 in a row (go DPKs...hey, it's my team so gotta cheer!) but teams 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13 and 14 (and my 9!) also have 4 in a row.

No early shelf...yet...so will also shout out, SHELF, and head off to bed happy in the knowledge the shelf fairy WILL visit while I'm dreaming.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Congrats-ish T9! ;)

Shelf will be up in approx. 1.5 hrs :D
