Milon boasts that he once read 5 different series numbers for a single wheelathon word.

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Oh yeah!!! I call dibs on #2!!! I'm starting tomorrow.

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

This difficult bingo. Who's responsible for this bingo idea?

[K~Terror]

Not me! I'm gonna try to read that stuff again tomorrow when my brain is less mushy.

I'm sure I can find a book for any of the series numbers... Everything seems to be a series anymore. Lol!

[K~Terror]

We probably have a lot of books in series in the bank!

I might have to re-read it later!

[K~Terror]

I think I'll be happy just to not have any more color bonuses... Ha!

It's crazy, right?!!!!

[Snowtulip]

After reading through posts, a little concerned about my green covers

[K~Terror]

I just put the first one through the color extract and I would consider it safely green!

Absinthe of Malice:
40% Black, 5% gray & the rest is different shades of green -- so 55% Green

[K~Terror]

Motel. Pool. --> 57% Green

[K~Terror]

Spirit Legacy is 98% Green
Woo-Hoo!

[Snowtulip]

Yipeee!

it is!

It's also #5 in series...if needed...

[K~Terror]

Yay!

[VNerdbooks]

whoop series books!!!!

Wicked Ride was #4 if it hasn't been used yet?

Bingo doesn't look so bad actually, it reads scary but when you filter through its mainly choose pattern and read the squares in pictures or words, trying to hit the bonuses and miss the sharks.

Bonus = more points
Sharks = whatever book we put in that square will be "eaten" and not able to be used, so we have to fill it again. (Fi gers crossed it's not a colour title!!)

[VNerdbooks]

Yay Abbie 5☆ Behind Closed Doors too!!!!!

Worth a read girlie's

Go with anything above 60%! That's the cut-off for NBRC.

Yes, we've got a ton of series books in the bank! So finding 5 different ones should hopefully be doable without anyone having to read something specifically for that.

BINGO RULES Summary

• Bingo cards have two types of squares: text squares and picture squares.
• Text squares state the specific task needed to be done to complete that square.
• Picture squares have a picture. It is up to the team to find a book that they feel represents that picture.

• To complete a card a specific bingo pattern must be chosen and covered. Additional squares may be completed outside the pattern.

• Bingo cards have two types of surprises: Power Squares (multiplies points) and BingoSharks.
• Every team has 1 BingoShark on their card. If a book is submitted on the BingoShark, the book will be eaten and cannot be used until the next bingo card is started.
--> Another book must then be read for that square, fulfilling the same task.


Good to know:
Leftover books not used in Wheel-a-Thon WILL NOT be used for Bingo (or the event following Bingo). We will however be able to use them in the last part of Wobble.
Only books FINISHED during Bingo can be used for Bingo.

[Eldarwen]

The patterns have been posted onto the Spreadsheet.

In case you have trouble accessing the spreadsheet via app, or whatever, here is the text explaining what the patterns do:

Turtle - Change one square to a "free" square where you can read any book
Picnic Table - Use a book from the Travel Agent Account
Telephone Pole - Replace one of your squares with another square on the board. (Request via Mod)

What We Need From You:

Which pattern would you like to use for our very first Bingo card?

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

[Eldarwen]

Lool, that card makes me laugh :-))

[VNerdbooks]

Anyone fancy reading I know me and K have both read it.......it was ok lol

[Eldarwen]

Sounds interesting! And the title and cover make me grin.

[VNerdbooks]

Soooo........

We have 10 pictures to decide how we determine them, please see cat example in main thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Carrots
Keys
Monster
Goggles
Ice cream
Train
Mittens
World Hands
Easter Eggs
Gummi Bears


Lets get thinking..............

[Eldarwen]

I could cover Monsters with Murder of Crows since the Others are considered monsters and cruel and evil by the general populace, aka the humans.
(Besides, it's MPG paranormal, vampires, werewolves, etc, etc, so all the things that go bump in the night and are often considered monsters.)


EDA: This book also works for #2 in series. It was a pofm book for me so I'd really like to get it in this month, one way or another.

[VNerdbooks]

I would say anything like Vampires/Werewolves etc would class as monsters too right?

[Eldarwen]

I'd say so, yes.
Great minds think alike, once again hehe. I just edited something like that into my above post.

[VNerdbooks]

lol I thought I'd missed that first time after reading that

So train could be a train journey of some sort

Mittens - Snow, snowball fight, cold day wrapped up??

Goggles - swimming ??

ice cream - Hot day buying ice cream from vendor ?

keys - getting in / out of front door

Easter eggs & Gummi bears ???

[Eldarwen]

Gummy bears --> sweets --> sweet shop
or
Gummy bears --> bears --> bear on cover/bear shifter maybe?

Mittens --> hockey romance? ;-)

Key makes me think of .

[VNerdbooks]

ooh yes !!

I need to look through what I have

[VNerdbooks]

World hands.... is a picture on the skin, so maybe tattoos?

[VNerdbooks]

Easter eggs... anyone read I remember easter eggs being in there (they are hidden things in computer games/movies etc)

Ohh Disney have lots of easter eggs, so Disney references??

Easter Eggs Meaning -
an unexpected or undocumented feature in a piece of computer software or on a DVD, included as a joke or a bonus.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

[Ghost in the Stacks]

[Eldarwen]

Ohh, this one was really good!

[VNerdbooks]

yeah I loved it and I think K-Terror 5 starred it too recently

[K~Terror]

Welcome back Abbie!!! Glad you are all settled now. No internet can be such a weird feeling...

Love the bingo card! Haha!

Why did I think the color had to be >= 50%?!! Ugh! I really need to read thru rules again apparently. :(

[VNerdbooks]

It is usually 50% but NBRC is 60 for some reason, makes it more tricky

[K~Terror]

Fun! Lol!

[Eldarwen]

Tamika, what's the page number for ?

We'll have to ask our lovely librarian fairy to add them again since the book doesn't have any editions with page numbers.

Thanks!
