Message from the Mods:Team #8 Vertical Infinity has had a team member disappear at the end of March. She hasn't been on GR & has not responded to PMs.
Sadly, we haven't heard from her, and we can only hope that she is OK. She has played numerous games of Bingo and is a valued SOS member, so it is with regret that we declare Team #8 is now a team of 3 and can continue on without her. It is too far into the game to even think of a replacement.
Michelle can request the stamps that are outstanding and Team #8 Vertical Infinity can carry on with the remaining 3 members.
This shelf is not easy!
Well Val have a look at my shelf - I have that one exactly - and there are over 3000 books on it. Of course there will be quite a few under the 200 pg limit, but there should be lots to choose from :D
Thanks Sandra....too bad I can't use my own tags.
Sandra, it sounds like you and I are book-buying sisters :)

Winning shelves (if teams get all caught up):
angels
magic*
series to start
fae
UF
science fiction
* the only winning shelf needed by only one team
So this means that next week WILL be a winning shelf for some team(s), assuming that they can get caught up this week.
Thanks Sam :)
Awesome Sam! Thanks so much for taking the time!
Wooh! Thanks for keeping us updated, Sam!You're right, Vilda! Next week will definitely be exciting!
Soooo close! Go, teams, Go! Happy reading, everyone! Thanks for the update(s), Sam.
Sandra & Steph - I don't see any rules against re-reads for the final shelf but I thought to check with you just in case...There are two series I started more than 3 years ago and never continued so I want to re-read the first book. Both fit the winning shelf for my team so I thought to re-read one of them if that happens to be the winning shelf.
Re-reads are allowed, in the rules it states that one re-read is allowed per bingo round, though I've noticed that some people have read more than that this round. As such, it would be hypercritical to deny you re-reading your book, when we haven't pulled them up on it.Go for it if the shelf allows :)
A round is a whole game of say (at this moment) 18 shelves. Well, it is probably up to us Mods to police it, so no worries Vilda.
If I read a series over ten years ago, and only remember after I'm half way thru, would it count? I lost a voluminous collection, all pre-compooper when I moved half way across the country eight years ago, and left another behind upon my divorce several years before that. And I only got a Kindle app and joined Goodreads a few yaars ago, and that's how I remember things now. So the books I read fifty years ago, or even ten years ago, can get a little fuzzy ...

As such, it would be hypercritica..."Oh no!!! I'm totally guilty of this. Where in the rules does it say this? I looked it up the first time and all I saw was this: "Re-Reads are not preferred, however they are allowed [Note: if you re-read a book, you may only use that re-read for ONE shelf per game]" I understood that as you can't read the same book multiple times per round.

As I said us Mods haven't policed it, so its become a non rule this round.

Nope Kait, you've never been able to read the same book for multiple shelves. Never mind, we might have to do some tweaking of the rules for future rounds.
Sandra wrote: "Art (Posting elsewhere as Whistler Reads) wrote: "If I read a series over ten years ago, and only remember after I'm half way thru, would it count?

I thought you were saying in your comment to D.G. that we could only have one reread TOTAL (ex. re-reading Burn for Me for a shelf and every other book has to be 100% new to you).
Sorry for the confusion!
Yep, that is exactly what I was saying. One book re-read for the entire game. However, quite a few people have used more than one re-read this game, and it is something we haven't picked up on (pretty hard to do actually), so that rule is under consideration for future rounds.
Thanks for answering my Qs! I feel bad, I had no idea and definitely wouldn't have cheated had I known :( I interpreted the reread rule completely different than you meant it. I'll stick with no more rereads for the rest of the game.
