If you like more police procedural with your UF the first few Anita Blake novels are pretty good, starting with Guilty Pleasures. The series goes off base after a half dozen books so be warned, but it doesn't diminish my love for those first few books or the characters. :)"

Oooh, I will have to try those! There are more October Daye books coming, the next in September.

Soccer is a sport that uses a ball, basketball is a sport that uses a ball. Ta-da! :D I'll enter it in now.

I know! I had a mini break after finishing. I settled on some completely different genres, so I didn't get to invested in urban fantasy.

Bingo square: 10th in series

[Ray (user2637)]

The Wheelathon winners are posted. It's mostly 3 teams that won all the categories.

Looks like the most that anyone got the 100-point word was 3 times (one team) and then 2 times (two teams).

Some teams ended 12, 14 & 15 color bonues required!! Eep. That makes my eye twitch a little.

Square: Title contains Ring

I went with this one instead of Lord of the Rings. Since I am not traveling for work, there is less time to read, so it would probably have taken me a long time. Plus this book was light, quick, and easy. Not too bad.

Sorry not a lot of points (page number wise).

Reading Redshirts as I need something red for Novel RPG and surprise! there are hallucinogenic mushrooms! :) not sure if that spot is spoken for and this'll take me a couple days anyway. Cool to put it on the next card too...which we should be reaching soon since we only have 2 more books to go for our tree pattern. :)

The color bonus offers the same amount of points no matter how many books you completed for it. So they were working a lot harder for the same amount of points. :P

Could you double check the book you shelved for me? It's showing up on the spreadsheet as Real Mermaids Don't Hold Their Breath. :/

And don't worry about length points - they're a bonus. And bonus is always bonus, never required or something to worry about :)

BONUS!

It does get harder to fit books in when all the flexible options are used up. But that's okay - yea for being able to reserve books! :)

Hey guys! I got your email margaret. Sorry about seeming MIA. I did just finish The Marriage Bargain. I am sorry I've been so distant but it's hard to keep up with the thread and I've been moving for the last two weeks. I'm finally done and should be able to participate more. If someone could point me in the direction of what we need for Bingo I would love to pick out a book that will fall in line!


Thank you

Not as good as I had hoped. The first part was interesting by then it became mostly pages and pages of 'name dropping' about who she met or sang with, most of whom meant nothing to me. But she is one of my favorite artists so I was glad I read it.

So now what? Are we close to getting a new card? Not sure what I should read next..
