Shadows of the Library
Hi Nicole, Drishti, and Stephanie!Looks like we're a team for BINGO. Have any of you done this before? I'm unclear as to whether we just try to get BINGO and then submit, or complete all the squares.
I am currently reading
which can be used for the one person square and also
which works for the two people square.
Hello!! I have not yet played but I'm sure we'll figure it out as we go along. I've got
if we're happy to accept Horse on the cover as a Farm Animal?Otherwise I also have a couple that could count as one person covers and that's about it right now.

Hello, Nicole!
Absolutely! A horse is a farm animal. :)
Hi guys! :)I have never done such a challenge before. But I think we need to get "BINGO" by reading books for five squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to create a line.
I'll get back to you guys on which squares I can cover. Just lemme check my TBR first...
BTW I think we can use this spreadsheet to make things easier: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Once you have completed the whole card you can post a bingo button to show off and/or start a new BINGO card (we will be progressively posting new ones) or do the same card again, or join a different team, or go ahead and do one on your own... totally up to you :)
That's what I figured. Thanks for clarifying, Mod!
I can do these:» Bird -
» Clock -
» Tree -
» Road -
(Currently reading it)P. S. Anyone thought of any team names?
That would be great, Drishti!I haven't any idea on team name. Anyone else?
Hollow City Child/teenager I'm about to finish up another book, and will start this one next. Also not sure on a team name.
Welcome Jennifer! So glad you're on our team.Team, Jennifer is my Battleship opponent. :)
Hi Jennifer! Glad to have you join us! :)Hey everyone, I thought of some team names. (A heads-up, I actually suck at thinking of team names, but I wanted to do my bit...) My suggestions: Fictionaries, Reading Divas, Read-a-nistas and Shadows of the Library. So what do you guys think?
Anyone else have any suggestions?
What do you mean, you suck? Those are all great names! I especially like Shadows of the library, but will go with whatever is most popular. If we want to try more we could see what we all have in common. Jennifer and I both had careers as teachers and love horses.
I love Shadows of the Library as well!!

This link isn't working for me. Can you maybe try to post it again, or point me in the direction of the original?
Hey everyone!!! I think its hilarious that the first book you chose was about horses BC I have a horse farm. I love my BIG dogs!!! LolI look forward to getting to know everyone!
So, we are looking at our bingo card and getting ideas on which ones we can do and also decide on a name for our group?
I have also seen where teams have taken the bingo card and been able to X out the squares as they are completed. Anyone know how to do that?
Marley and Me and a wonderful book abt a domestic dog. If there is anyone with fur babies I HIGHLY recommend it. If there is no one that wants to take domestic dog, I'll re-read Marley and Me. The rest of them I don't understand. Do those words have to be in the title or just be in the book somewhere?
Here's a list of readers and squares so far:Drishti-bird, clock, tree, road
Nicole-farm animal
Stephanie-child/teen
Nanci-one person, two people
Drishti, if you would rather read something else other than the tree, I'm ready Sycamore Row by John Grisholm
For the Bird, I have the poem The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. I looked and it didn't have any rules abt length or re reads. Ok, that's my last email for awhile. LOL

If there is no one that wants to take domestic dog, I'll re-read Marley and Me. The way it works is that the word on the square must be featured as a picture on the cover. I don't think a word works. So, if the BINGO word is "dog" and the title is, "My dog, Rover", but there's no picture of a dog on the cover that wouldn't work. If this is wrong, please correct me, team.

So, we are looking..."
Yes, Jennifer. That's right. I think I saw horses on someone else's profile also, so that would make three of us who own or love horses. :) Anybody else??

I have no idea what problem you are facing with the link because it is working for me. Anyway, you can find the original link in this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Just an FYI: The link is just a template of the spreadsheet. We'll need to create the actual spreadsheet ourselves.
Thanks, Drishti!This spreadsheet you should be able to edit, team. I added my book. Feel free to add your own. :)

Jennifer wrote: "Drishti, if you would rather read something else other than the tree, I'm ready Sycamore Row by John Grisholm"Actually, the book I'm reading for tree is an ARC which I need to review by June 9. So I just thought that if it could work for this challenge, then why not.

Awesome, Nanci!
I added my books for clock and road. I didn't add the ones for bird and tree. Jennifer said that she, too, could read books for those.
Oh, I love Google docs for these challenges. Going in there to update now.
Jennifer wrote: "For the Bird, I have the poem The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. I looked and it didn't have any rules abt length or re reads. Ok, that's my last email for awhile. LOL"I already put down my name for bird. I need that book for another challenge as well so... if you could find a book for something else?
I have a white space suit on one of mine... but I suppose it's a stretch to say that's a dress. What if I had antlers? Do you reckon that that's enough of a deer/buck to be counted as African Animal?

Wait. Is the deer wearing the white space suit?! Lol! I couldn't resist that visual! On a more serious note, if it's just antlers I don't think that will work. Post the cover and we can decide.
My iPad is being weird and won't let me open the spreadsheet, could someone add 
For child/teen for me :). Thank you. I also saw a few of you are teachers! I just finished up my first year.

Congratulations on finishing your first year of teaching, Stephanie. I still remember my first year, even though it was a really long time ago! I will add your book to the Bingo card.
We could be "teacher shadows in the library" if we all taught. If not, I say we just go with Shadows of the Library.

Added you book to the spreadsheet. :)

Lol. Shadows of the Library it is, then! Everyone agree?
Jennifer wrote: "What don't we have covered yet?"Go to the spreadsheet in message 26 and you can see.
I love Shadows of the Library! happy we picked that :)
Yes! Shadows of the Library sounds great.
Who do we let know about our team name choice?
Nanci wrote: "Who do we let know about our team name choice?"I think Karen...?
I sent Karen a message with our team name. :)
Nanci wrote: "I sent Karen a message with our team name. :)"Awesome.
I can't open the spreadsheet either. Is there anything that has not been covered yet?
Jennifer wrote: "I can't open the spreadsheet either. Is there anything that has not been covered yet?"Cat, dog, bird, African animal, sofa, lamp, desk, bed, flower, lake/ocean, green dress, red dress, white dress, black dress, pink dress, three or more people and baby.
Hi Jennifer,Were you able to see anything at all? If so, you need to click on the tab that says, "bingo 1", then you'll see the list of items and be able to sign up. If you still can't get it to work, just post here and one of us will enter your book for you.
Hi team,I just signed up for "ocean" on the Bingo spreadsheet.
Hey team, I just added my books for "bird" and "lamp".
