Hiya, Team Caps! Thanks for volunteering to guide your team through a round of BookShelf Bingo!

Your job, should you choose to accept it, will require a few things:
1 ~ Be our go-to person should we have any questions about your team
2 ~ Organize your teammate's weekly reads for each shelf/category so that the BSB Ninjas can quickly and easily verify and approve your stamp request(s)
3 ~ Encourage and motivate your team (you may also ask to borrow Judithe's whip whenever necessary)
4 ~ Post regularly to ensure your team is communicating and on track each week (Send them a PM and friendly poke if they haven't posted at least once a week, noted their book choice, and/or appear to have dropped out of webspace)
5 ~ Send us a PM (Steph, Sandra or Judithe) should you need us for any reason throughout the game

I'm currently living in Texas

[Danielle Book Boss]

Nice! Has anyone ever played before? This will be my third or fourth time around. We need to come up with a team name and choose a captain.

[Danielle Book Boss]

Here are a few tries, some I made up and some randomly generated:

Book assassins
Dolphin Commandos
Nighttime Ninjas
Not So Grim Reading Reapers
Book Slayers

[Stacie]

I have never played before.

I'm in Maryland.

I kind of love all of these.

[Danielle Book Boss]

Lol that will be a long name then!

My fave is Not So Grim Reading Reapers and very random Dolphin Commandos

[Stacie]

Not So Grim is a good one! That's my vote. Though Dolphin Commandos conjures up some pretty funny pictures in my head.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Sorry, I'm a bit behind. I'm currently living in Texas and I've played before, but it has been a year or two since then.

My vote is the Grim Reader one.

[Nichole]

[Krissy]

Well since the name has been picked any volunteers for captain? Since this is my first time playing I doubt I would make a good captain.


Hi Nichole!

[Danielle Book Boss]

Nichole's peeking! Hey there!

[Danielle Book Boss]

If I'm the most veteran player, I'll be captain. I'm most active on GR in the evenings and early mornings FYI.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

@ Danielle - thanks for being captain.

@ Nichole - hi!

[Krissy]

Thanks for taking one for the team, Danielle!

[Danielle Book Boss]

No problem!

I like this game. It makes me finish books lol

[Stacie]

Thanks Danielle!

I see you Nichole. I SEE YOU

[Danielle Book Boss]

Makes me finish books I mean!

[Nichole]

[Danielle Book Boss]

Hey ya'll!!

First Shelf: Aliens
Direct Link: https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/...

This means that you can only read books found by following that link.

Happy hunting and reading! Once you have your choice, pop in quickly and let all of us know so I can track it for reviews! :)

[Danielle Book Boss]

I'm going to read so I can work through my mountain of freebies!

[Stacie]

I can tell you I'm reading for free space. Found it on the group shelf.

Combing the shelf for something for aliens. I have something but I'm looking to see if I can find something that might work for another challenge.

[Stacie]

Okay. I'm going to read

[Krissy]

Is there a minimum page requirement?

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Not sure what I'm going to read yet, I had more options than I thought I would for this shelf. Will probably be one of these:

Krissy wrote: "Is there a minimum page requirement?"

It's always 200 pages minimum Krissy :)

[Krissy]

When you say "always" do you mean just this specific challenge or every challenge this group does?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Just this challenge Krissy. There is no page limit at SOS for any other challenge.

[Krissy]

Thanks

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Review:

Whoever tagged that as aliens has a way different view of aliens than I do. The book had all the makings of a good paranormal novel (a mystery, vampires, werewolves, other magical items) but the writing just fell flat for me. All of the characters annoyed me except one and I cannot figure out if he is a good guy or a bad guy. The problem is that I now want to know how it continues but refuse to pay for it!

[Diane ~Firefly~]

@Stacie - I got to pick for you in the RRRC April Pick It For Me. I just put them up, I hope you like them. There is definitely a few that should fit into these shelves.

Love that series!"

I take pretty big breaks in between these books though I like the series. I'm not sure why but I hope this is another strong addition!

Review:

This might just be my favorite Kleypas ever. EVER. I thought I loved the Wallflowers series but Friday Harbor has kicked it to 2nd place. I loved this book. Zoe is so sweet and I want to be her friend so she can cook for me. I loved the dual love stories and to get more insight into Alex. Loved every minute of this book and devoured it!
