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

Hi! I'm too tired to check out the shelves. I'll check in the morning to see if there's anything I might have trouble with.

eta: I'm in Massachusetts and on EST. I have no interest in being captain.

[~Melissa~]

Hi teamies!! How exciting - I think I actually know everyone on the team. Squee!! I'm in CST - suburb of Chicago here. I'll think on names (which I totally admit - I suck at) and peek at shelves in the morning. I too have no interest in being captain.

[~Melissa~]

Good thing I quick checked the Shelf thread - I was about to ask questions about a couple of the shelves. Very self explanatory once I looked,lol

[Ezi]

I think I know everyone. Hi Team 8!

[Ezi]

I like Dead Man's Hand & Eight Track Mind for team names

[Mary X]

These are my faves:

Between The Sheets
Eight Track Minds
Mystic Maidens

[Mary X]

How do you print the bingo card? I clicked on the link and I don't see a print option.

[Mary X]

Never mind I got it to print. Although it printed 3 copies and I have no idea why.

[~Melissa~]

My faves in no particular order:

Kiss My Eights
Between The Sheets
Eight Track Minds
Dead Man's Hand

Just thought of this:

Don't H8te the Winners :)

[Ezi]

Melissa, I LOVE THAT: Don't H8te, Congratul8te!

[Mary X]

this is a good one: Don't H8te the Winners

So I took some times and filled out my card with possibles from my TBR. I didn't come up with many for Hit The Road but mostly because I did that one last and got tired of looking. I know I can come up with something with a car or horse on it easily.

[Belinda]

Wow. Party in here while I was asleep!
I love don't ha8e the winners too!! Should we use it?

[Nichole]

Sounds good to me! I'll be browsing the categories and making lots of new lists over the weekend. Lists! Lists! Lists!

I'm trying to decide on my Free Space book...

I have lots of choices but I can use or this next week and they fit all 3 team challenges I'm doing! Has anyone read either of these?

[Mary X]

I forgot to look for the free space book. I'll look tomorrow. I like to get the free space out the way early if I can.

[Mary X]

If I did the time zone converter correctly, the shelf announcement will come on Saturday evenings for me.

[Belinda]

It would have been about 3-4 hours ago. That would be 8-9am Sunday morning here.

[~Melissa~]

Yeah - you guys liked the name I came up with!!??! I never think of good names so this was kinda cool :D

Off to look at the free space rules and see what I can come up with.

[Nichole]

Good Morning/Afternoon! So, I'm not going to use either of those books for my Free Space as I needed an audiobook now, lol. But, I have a list, so it's okay :) I'll probably choose my FS book after the first shelf is called.

Off to browse/list some books so I can change them all later!:D Have a good day!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

LOL Nichole ;)

[Mary X]

So I didn't do the time converter right? I put in Sydney Australia, 10 am Sunday the 18th and it said that would be 8pm Saturday the 17th my time. The shelf call is being posted on Sunday mornings Sydney time right?

eta: no I am correct. It's 10:30 am on Saturday 5/17 here and it's 12:30 am Sunday 5/18 in Sydney. So the shelf should be posted sometime on my Saturday afternoon/evening depending on how early they post.

[[deleted user]]

I love your team name!!!

[Jenne]

Love y'all's name :)

[Belinda]

You've got your time zones right Mary :)

Should I nominate myself captain since I'm the token Aussie?

[Nichole]

Sounds good to me, Belinda :)

[Mary X]

OK with me.

[Mary X]

I must be a bit psychic. I was just thinking, maybe the shelf has been called, I should check. And sure enough it was just called.

Demons. I will probably read this:

[Belinda]

Here's the direct link: demons

[Nichole]

I'll be reading .

[~Melissa~]

Hey everyone - I have a book I'd like to read but had to ask a question. Once answered I'll let you know what I decided on. I have a few in reserve if the answer doesn't go my way :)

[Ezi]

For the Demon shelf: I'll read Untouchable by Kresley Cole
It's the first book in the anthology. But it's a little over 200 pages---around 250-ish.

For the Free Space: I will read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Book on Line 22 of BEST OF: Stand Alone Novels (PNR/UF/YA genres)



(another Free space option: Molly Harper) from Book Recommendations & Favorites > BEST OF: Series Audiobooks

[~Melissa~]

Ezi - that was my question. Can't do it have to listen to (read) the whole book.

[Ezi]

~Melissa~ wrote: "Ezi - that was my question. Can't do it have to listen to (read) the whole book."

Why? It's sold as an individual audiobook at audible? I bought it.

[Nichole]

I took Sandra's response, Have a look and see if it was published separately and if someone put it on the demon shelf ;) , to mean that if you post you are reading Deep Kiss Of Winter, which technically you would be, that it's shelved as demons 34 times.

[Nichole]

I loved The Night Circus! It was a little confusing at first and I had to check the ebook out from the library just to make sure I was following things correctly. It seems like people either love it or hate it. It's one of my favorite books of the year and I LOVED the narrator.

[Ezi]

When you click on Untouchable, the link, it takes you to Deep Kiss of Winter's Shelves.

The audiobook is published at audible separately. See post 46.

[Nichole]

Oops, I'll shut up now. I really thought I was looking at the single version.... Blonde moment.

[Belinda]

After a wonderful morning taking my doggies to the RSPCA million paws walk where they met lots of new friends, I've decided on (shelved 11 times as 'demons')
