Heidi Ho, 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 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
Congratulations to our R9 Winners!
Hi Team!! So happy to be on this team and to play Bingo again.Can't wait to hear from everybody and get introduced.
I've played Bingo many times and can be a Captain if necessary. My only challenge is that my daughter is getting married in June and I will be somewhat out of pocket for several days. But I'm also very happy if someone else would like the job.
I love team challenges and have never failed to get my book read in a week (okay once I did, but I'm not talking about that!).
Hello! I'm glad you volunteered to be captain :). I've played before and this is one of my favorite team challenges.
Happy early congrats, Leslie! :DHappy reading, ladies!

Thanks!! And yes, Sandra 2 out of my 4 will be married! And my son who got married in July is expecting a baby in Nov. (catholics work fast!) Life is crazy!! Rachel, I am happy to concede captain duties to you and plan on helping as you need it.
I love the names that were generated. I am happy with any of them.
So excited to play this again.
And I will be leaving for CA on June 10 and flying home on the 17th. I should still be reading some and getting on the internet. It just won't be as much. And of course I won't be around at all on Saturday. And expect pictures!
Hi everyone! I've captained before also, but am happy to let Rachel take the lead.I just used the Fantasy Team Name Generator too:
Fire Breathing Rubber Duckies
LOL!
Also:
Samurai Panthers
I like that one -->Fire Breathing Rubber DuckiesJust for this weekend (actually Fri and Sat) I will be out of town with no or sporadic internet access (the horror!). (So if I don't check in before Sun/late Sat that's why).
What team names do you like?
Fire Breathing Rubber Duckies works for me!Hope you have fun, wherever you are going -Rachel!
Leaving now for Wenatchee, WA for tonights Stars On Ice show. Be back in Boise tomorrow late afternoon or sometime in the evening. Will check in then:-)Thanks Leslie!
Looks like we are waiting for one person to check in.
Suzanne, Daffodil any preference for name?
2 for Fire Breathing Rubber Duckies!
Hey team! I've played and captained before but don't feel a burning need to lead (lol I rhymed), so more than happy for someone else to be captain.Congrats Leslie!
Hi Josie.Have a great time Rachel. Fire Breathing Rubber Duckies is great!
Good morning Team!! Not too much longer before the first shelf is called. I am so excited!!Have we decided on a name yet? I know Rachel is out of touch still, but it looks like most of liked Fire Breathing Rubber Duckies and Rachel is our Captain.
And I think I'll read
for the free space, this is from the SOS bookshelf.
Good choice Josie, loved it and the rest of that series, very addictive :)
I'm waiting for the shelf to be called before I decide on my Free Space book. I have several possibilities.
I'm not sure if Rachel is back yet so I will post the shelf that has been called.Week 1: Demons
I'm checking my books to see what I have! Looking forward to seeing what everyone is reading.
Back. I will re-purpose posts 9 and 11 for the updates. (Will do tomorrow though).
Glad you are back!! Hope you had a good time.I will be reading
which had 9 users shelve it as Demons.
Free Space (from SOS bookshelf):
Demons (1st page!):
Not sure what I'm reading for the demons shelf, so I'll make a start on my free space book.
I'll be reading
for my free space book. It's on the SOS bookshelf.
Happy Sunday Duckies!! What is everyone going to be reading this week?
Week 1: Demons
5/18/14 3★
Review: I have a rather long, up and down relationship with the Fever series and so I had held off reading this first entry in the spinoff series. And while I'm glad I read it and I liked parts of it (KMM can create an amazing world!), I have to say that the parts that made me crazy outweighed the enjoyable to some extent.
Sandra wrote: "Good choice Josie, loved it and the rest of that series, very addictive :)"Thanks, Sandra! It's because of you that I'm reading the series LOL!
I've finished my books for this week. For demons shelf:
Title/Author: Bloodfire by Helen Harper
Date finished: 18th May
Rating: 4.5 stars
Review: A great start to a UF series! There's a good mix of action, politics, and romance that keeps the pace moving. Whilst a fiery main character with a hero complex is not usually my thing, Mack is very likeable and has a good heart. Nothing was particularly surprising but I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and being a Brit, I loved reading an urban fantasy set in the UK!
For free space:
Title/Author: Bloodmagic by Helen Harper
Date finished: 19th May
Rating: 4 stars
Review: Bloodmagic picks up Mack a few months down the line after the end of Bloodfire. Whilst I do question her decision making skills at times, I liked finding out more about the Otherworld. At first I thought this might be a more "filler" book but by the end, I'm satisfied that the story has progressed. This series kind of reminds me of the Secret McQueen books (which is a positive thing).
I should probably wait for the next shelf before reading #3 but like Sandra said, this series is addictive! :)
Yay!!
Glad you liked the two Blood Destiny books, Josie. This series is one of my top favourite series ever! I found them courtesy of Sandra too:)

Holly cow! Look at you go!
I meant to check in yesterday for the shelf, but I didn't have a chance to sit down at the computer all day.For my Free Space I'll be reading
. I found it on BEST OF: Young Adult Fantasy Series here.
For the Demon Shelf I'll be reading
, 1st Page.
For demons:Mark of the Demon 4* 5/19
Very good. I enjoyed the mystery/police procedural/paranormal. It did a good job of concealing who the big bad was and kept me guessing until the very end. Well done!
I enjoyed Kara and thought she was an awesome lead. Be interesting to see what happens with her Aunt Tessa, Ryan, and how she turned up (at the end, how will that be explained?). Looking forward to book 2.
Always so excited to discover a new series. Just went and found all 5 books on Scribd. Thanks, Josie!
I'm trying to make up my mind about the demon book and I'm too tired to think straight. I guess it will be whichever of these I pick up on my way out the door to work in the morning:
I'll let you know tomorrow.

*cough*Hunt the Moon!*cough* Haha, even though I haven't read all of them, they all look like a good choice regardless :)
Mortal Sins!! Go for Mortal Sins!! But I have to agree - you have some great choices there to choose from.
And the winner is ....None of the above. I grabbed Kresley Cole's book off the shelf in the bedroom, fed the cat, put on my jacket and was getting ready to walk out the door this morning when a book on the front room shelf caught my eye. I knew it would be on the demons shelf, so I grabbed it too. Luckily I was right.
I started reading
and am already wondering why it took me so long to get to book 3. Of course, if I'd grabbed one of the others, I'd be wondering the same thing about it. Way too many series in progress.
Love the fact you have a demons shelf at home Daffodil :)
The demons don't come and take up residence for very long though. Too terrified of the cat.
