Hello Team!! I'm so excited to be on here with people I know!! Waves to everyone!!

I am headed out of town in about 5 minutes. But I will be checking in later tonight and different times tomorrow.
So excited for this speed round!!

I'm okay with any name y'all come up with and anyone for captain. I've been captain before, so I can do it as well. Though I am REALLY okay with not being captain.

[~Melissa~]

Hi Team!! Yeah - waves - familiar faces/names - love it!!

So excited for this to start. Hoping someone else would like to be captain.

Leslie - enjoy your weekend!

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

Hi to all the familiar faces I recognize!

[Ezi]

Week 1:
Shelf X: Free Space
Shelf 1: Kick Ass Heroine
Shelf 2: Dragon

[Ezi]

Hi Leslie"

Yeah, last time we were on a team was last year.

[Ezi]

Hopefully I can coordinate this book with SSS since it will be called on Sundays

Wouldn't that be nice!!

[Skandia]

Hi team! Can't wait to start playing!
This will be my fourth Bingo if I remember correctly, so not a total newby.

I don't think I'm a good captain material, cause I'm in Europe and in a totally opposite time zone than everybody else, so I'm ok with anyone for captain.

[Ezi]

Hi Skandia...

[Skandia]

Some suggestions for team name:

Six for Kicks
Six Mix
Dream Team Six

[Ezi]

I like vixen six

[~Leslie~]

I like vixen six.

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

I don't care what team name gets chosen.

[Ezi]

Anyone interested in captain- ship?
But you've gotta be on point to lead:D

[~Melissa~]

I like Vixen Six too

I'm not interested in being captain but I will follow orders from whomever decides to step up and lead us to victory :D

[~Leslie~]

I'm a great sheep! I can be a captain but I'm not always on point. What about you, Ezi?

[Ezi]

~Leslie~ wrote: "I'm a great sheep! I can be a captain but I'm not always on point. What about you, Ezi?"

I don't mind...if you guys are willing to bear with me.
I do have some expectations:

1) Check in to our thread at least twice a day. You can just post something like "my book is a little slow etc"
Reason: sometimes GR notifications don't go out, but if you check in the thread, you won't miss anything.

2) I would like you to write the name of your book & page number once you choose it.

3) pick your free space book now so you can try to read it ASAP after the game begins tomorrow.

4) encourage teammates when you can.

5) Read your book as soon as you can.

6) Enjoy yourself.

That's it Vixen Six:D

[~Melissa~]

Ezi - you had that whip handy,lol

I'm all good with that. I'll figure out my Free space book tonight. Only my second time playing - was Free Space any book I want or were there rules?

[Ezi]

LOL. Yes. I'm that kind of captain:D

There are rules for the free space. They are here:
Link to Free Space Rules and Shelf

In a a Nutshell:
(1) SOS' November BOM:
OR
(2) A book off of any of the group's November new release threads
OR
(3) A book off of the group's bookshelf (any shelf/tag)

[~Melissa~]

@Ezi - thanks for the link. I kinds/sort of remembered that from last time. Off to see what I have/want to read that might be on that list!

[~Leslie~]

Sounds great, Ezi! I think I was a team once before with you and remember you like things structured! I'm good with that.
I will definitely have my free space book picked out and read this week.
I check in pretty frequently anyway and I'm a great cheerleader!
Can't wait to start. Wedding was wonderful! Now for wine night in the hotel with family.

[~Leslie~]

First two shelves are called!!


Shelf #1 ~ 3/11/13: 'Kick-ass Heroine'
DIRECT LINK: kick-ass-heroine

Shelf #2 ~ 3/11/13: 'Dragons'
DIRECT LINK: dragons

I'm having a hard time getting the dragon link to work.

[~Melissa~]

Wedding was wonderful! Now for wine night in the hotel with family
@Leslie - so glad the wedding was great. Wine night sounds fun!! Enjoy!

[~Melissa~]

Here is what I'm thinking of so far. May change.

Free Read: on the group pages >>probably this one >>

Dragon: 352pgs or 396 pgs

Kick ass heroine 326 pgs

Probably won't start until tomorrow SSS is called - have to see if one of these will work for that. I'll update again once I've started something.
Still trying to finish my SSS book now to post so my team mates don't disown me, lol. This is what happens when hubby and I actually have plans to go out on a Fri night - I get behind in my reading,lol

[Ezi]

Ezinwanyi's Book choices from each shelf:

Kick-Ass Heroine: (384 pages)--starting the audiobook immediately

Dragon: (393 pages)

Free Space: (266 pages)

[~Melissa~]

Ooh hmmm I want to read Tempting the beast - may switch my free space to that one??

Hey Ezi do you remember what buttons to *hit* to get the search box up on the screen when searching shelves?? I can't remember it is the function key and something else?

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

Kick-ass Heroine:

Dragons: TBD (still looking)

Free Space: TBD (still looking)

~Melissa~ wrote: "Ooh hmmm I want to read Tempting the beast - may switch my free space to that one??

So when you go to the home page of the book, go the bottom right where is says "top shelves".

Then on your laptaop, under edit, click on "Find On This PAge".
then type in the shelf name, it will highlight in yellow.
Note: it will only search that particular page, you will have to individually search each page

[Ezi]

You can switch anytime, Just let us know that you switched your choices.

Tempting The Beast is the Lost Challenge BOM (I nominated it) so I feel like I gotta read and discuss it. Plus it is on the Never Finished List for SSS Monopoly:D

[~Melissa~]

Plus it is on the Never Finished List for SSS Monopoly:D

Well that is certainly a nice bonus for you,lol
I saw it was the TLC BOM and was thinking of joining. I have to see how easy it is to get

Thanks for the info about "top shelves"

[~Melissa~]

It was the control key - not the fuction key - that was my problem - I'm technically challenged,lol

I'm furiously finishing it >> you missed this from my earlier post Still trying to finish my SSS book now to post so my team mates don't disown me, lol. This is what happens when hubby and I actually have plans to go out on a Fri night - I get behind in my reading,lol

[~Leslie~]

I am definitely reading River Marked for my KAH book. Still looking for the other two. I might go with the third Deborah Cook book as well for dragons.

I got this book a couple of years ago on some deal but never read it. I hope it's worth the money too. Yikes!
I was thinking of waiting and buying for Dragon Shelf. It comes out on Nov. 5th.

I Love Mercy. Hi-Five to Leslie!!

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

I'm making a list of possible choices for my dragon and free space book because I'm working tomorrow at the library and I want to have a small list of books in case one of them gets checked out before I have a chance to grab one.

Well happy hunting at the library:D

[~Melissa~]

@Amy - oh to have the potential of all those books at your beck and call. I'm thinking that may be heaven :D

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

@Ezi: Thanks! :)

@Melissa: It is, lol! I'm surrounded by so much books and other stuff! :)

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

Lucky Amy!!! Working completely surrounded by books...heaven, but a little bit of torture, too. I'm sure they frown on you pulling out books and just curling up to read while you're supposed to be working...but, oh, the temptation!

@Melissa: It is, lol! I'm surrounded by so much books and other stuff! :)"

You know Amy, that means you can read new releases before the book is placed in general circulation, right?
