Hello everyone! I am excited to start playing!~~cheryl
Hi, ladies! Thrilled and a bit scared about being on a team with Mistress Judithe. ;) She can be rather fierce with the whip, but I know she'll keep me on my game. Where are y'all located? I'm in Cali.
Any volunteers to be our captain? I'll think of some team name suggestions soon. Can't wait to get started. :) Go, team 3!

I'm in NC. I just finished BINGO with another group and look forward to upping the ante with 2 books a week.~~cheryl
Hi, Mandy. I'm currently in the middle of nowhere, commonly known as 29 Palms. :) How about you?Which group hosted your last one, Cheryl?
I'm between Sac and San Fran at Travis AFB. Middle of nowhere but close to everything.
Sounds nice(r). We're about an hour from Palm Springs, so not too bad. But, nothin' but lots and lots of desert around here. Trying to think of some names for us …
Triple threat
Third time's the charm
Okay, so nothing very creative is coming to mind. I'll keep thinking on it.

It was the Cozy Mystery group. I go back and forth between cozies and UF/paranormal. And yes I know that sounds a little schizophrenic! ;-)
Konban-wa! And I'm no way as scary as Steph is making me out to be! BTW, you do all have your Free space reads picked and ready to start, don't you? I'm in Japan, and think Steph should move back to our neighborhood, or at least timezone (everyone, come visit!) Ready & rarin' to start in the morning. I've played and loved all rounds! I think we're just waiting for Carrie to check in, now!
Having taught 9 classes today, my brain is a mess in regards to names. Maybe that will change after a chu-hi! (Which is an alcoholic beverage that I'm more than ready to consume!)
Last, who wants to be captain?
So the first week we can read two plus the free spot?
My hubby has been to Japan so many times I keep saying I want to go. One day!!! So for now I'll just be super jealous of you Judithe =DI've not been captain before. If no one else wants to I can give it a shot it will be my first time.
I'm terrible with names. I'm still thinking about it.
Great, Mandy! Still waiting to hear from everyone else, but! And no worries, lots of help for any questions!
Went to a generator:Rhino Dynamos
Sneaky Spiders
Venomous Dynamos (sensing a theme here...)
Tornado Bandits
Kamikaze Monkeys
Giving up on that!
I totally forgot to check for teams. Thank you Mandy for the reminder, lol.Hello all :)
I'm terrible with names.My hubby said: Three's Company
I have a few books picked out to be my free space, just need to a narrow it down.
I don't think I'll be able too. I can help the captain if needed but I won't be able to play the role of captain. Too much on the go and I can't promise I'll always be around when the shelf is going to be called. But like I said I can help if needed.
OK, Mandy for captain? Moondance, do you want the hat or to share the hat? (Assuming Steph is like me and happily not jumping in...can do, but would rather someone else did...thank you!
For *kickass heroine* I will read Friday Night Bites and for *dragons* I will read Holy Smokes. Happy Reading!~~cheryl
Shelves are here!! Shelf Announcement Thread Shelf #1 ~ 3/11/13: 'Kick-ass Heroine'
DIRECT LINK: kick-ass-heroine
Shelf #2 ~ 3/11/13: 'Dragons'
DIRECT LINK: dragons
Free Space Rules are here. We can read these, now, too! I picked mine out last night...while pacing/waiting for the start!In a nutshell, (head to the thread for the handy links and lovely format!)
(1) An SOS Book of the Month: Any month while the game is in play
OR
(2) A book off of any of the group's new release thread folder or the group's new release thread archive folder: Any book listed on one of the new release threads; no matter the date of release
OR
(3) A book off of the group's bookshelf: Any shelf or tag; No date restriction - books added at anytime may be chosen
Be sure to post on your team's thread: which book you chose for FREE SPACE credit, which of the three options above you used to pick your book, your rating and your review once you've read it.
Free Space:
kick-ass heroine:
dragons: still torn between about 4 or 5...
(Will get back to you on that...)
I can Captain first timer though. I just got home so I'll have to check out the shelves. Do I need to do anything before posting our reviews?
Mandy, have a look at previous rounds to make it easy for you. My top suggestion is to grab a post and make it your master list of all shelves/members/books & a link to their reviews. All reviews are posted on your team thread so that makes it easy.
Very good advice, and just what I would've said! Thanks, Sandra!!And you even have the TOP spot on our thread already! You can just add to your "hello" and keep track of the shelves there.
Previous rounds are archived on the general discussion line. I'll link to a couple of easy examples below.
A shelf master list for a team: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
A weekly update post: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Oh, and once all the reviews are completed, make an announcement in the Stamp Me thread (opening soon!), and include a link to your update post for that shelf.
Woohoo, teammies, our first shelves! Thanks, Mandy, for taking the lead as our fearless captain. I've yet to think of some name ideas, but am happy to go with whichever the group likes. Yeah, I might'a exaggerated Miss Judithe's scary factor. ;) And, I'd love it if we could head back to JP! Missing it terribly. As well as being in the same time zone as my buddies. For kick-ass heroine, I'll definitely be reading ARCHANGELS LEGION. Not sure which I'll pick for dragons; I'll get back to ya on that. Same with free space, but hope to get that outta the way sooner rather than later. That way I can focus on shelf reads only for the rest of the game.
Thanks, Mandy. I was team captain on the Bingo I just completed. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Although we have some pretty awesome seasoned players on our team!
Of course my copy of
is not on my bookshelf so I am reading
. I am behind in this series and need to catch up.
Shelf: Kick ass heroine

Rating: 4 stars
Review:
Gin Blanco is trying to enjoy retirement after the loss of her handler, Fletcher. An attempted robbery at the Pork Pit followed by a shooting and the attack of an innocent girl puts her back in the assassin business. Heavy hitters with money,power and magic try to prevent Gin from discovering what is truly going on. Detective Donovan Caine is back as her love interest....or not. The assortment of giants, drawves, vampires and elemental magic users provides a rapid pace for the story. Reagan deals with memories of her lost family and the knowledge that her baby sister is still alive. I really enjoy Estep's ability to grab your attention with her storylines and look forward to continuing the series.
~~cheryl
Go, Cheryl! :) I've started Archangel's Legion, but I'm caught up in football today. As much as I'd like to take my time and savor it, I'm sure I'll gobble it up soon. Still trying to decide on a book for 'dragons' and the FS. Any votes for team names?
Hope everyone has a great day! Happy Reading!

Off to start my dragon book. ;-)
Sweet! :D Happy Reading!
I'm going to read
for 'dragons'. For my FS read, I'm thinking about one of these:
,
,
or something else entirely. >;)
Alright finished my speed reading book. So time to pick out the bingo books. I can read three this week correct ladies? Dragons, Kick ass, and free? just making sure planning my reading week the best I can. So I just need to make a post of all the reviews and post on the stamp request linking to my post here?
Yep, three books - the two shelves + free space. :)That's right. You can use your initial post ( message #5) as the master list, if you'd like or you can start a new one - up to you, but sometimes 1st page posts are easiest for everyone to find.
Each week, share which books we read with links to our reviews. Then, when you request our stamps, share a link to that list with your request. You may find it helpful to check out previous rounds to see how others have done it. Or you can scope out how captains this round are making their list. We'll help ya out as you go. :)
Loving AL!!Just realized we are the ONLY team that hasn't decided our name...
THE NAMELESS ONES....
EEK!
Everyone throw out one suggestion? Here's mine...
(Triple Threat was used in Round 2 so think another choice might be better..))
Triple Kamikaze Readers (just because it was one word that came up in the random hunt...)
The Nameless Ones lol. It could work. I'm sure that isn't what you're going for but it made me giggle. I'm goo with anything.
K I set up my post #5 as the running list I guess does this look right?
Mandy, it looks good, but the review link should be to Moondance's review on this thread. To do that you actually right click on the date/time link on the right hand side of her comment then click on copy link location, it will look like this (without the extra space)
https://www.goodreads.com/topic /show/1554524-r8-team-3?page=1#comment_86098655
then you just make it pretty like you did already.
If that's not clear after you have a go just post here and I'll go through it step-by-step ;)
Ah I clicked the wrong one. It works now =D
Perfect Mandy ;)
I'm going to be reading
for my kick ass heroine book, still debating the dragon and FS book.
