Sandra | 25908 comments Yep, I agree with that one too Art. Mine is really messy cause I never thought we wouldn't be able to move them into the correct order.

I've thought that often over the years since we started Bingo!!!!

My collections are alphabetized on my kindle.


message 353: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Really; that's interesting Sam. How did you manage it?


message 354: by Sam (new)

Sam | 1052 comments Beats me, it just does it. When I sort by collection, (first drop box) title (second drop box), they come up alphabetized.

Sandra | 25908 comments I'll have a little play with mine tomorrow then :)

Off to bed :D

* 4 teams are yet to get their Free Space stamp
* 1 team is yet to get their Hunter stamp
* Everyone has their PNR stamp

* 1 team is yet to get their Guilty Pleasure stamp
* 1 team is yet to get their Favorite Series stamp
* 7 teams are missing their Vampires stamp

* No teams are up-to-date
* As far as I can tell, 2 teams are 4 called shelves away from Bingo

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 2484 comments This is the first time I have ever fallen behind in bookshelf bingo. But I feel better now knowing that most of the teams are behind the shelf calls at least a little.

D.G. | 2752 comments Shelf!! Shelf!!


message 367: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 2752 comments Hmmm...I guess the shelf call is coming an hour later because of daylight savings time?


message 368: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Well, not for me. LOL

My daylight savings doesn't kick in for a couple of weeks, I think. Then I adjust it to still be the same time. Too many time zones across all the players to start playing around with it.


message 369: by Lis (new)

Lis | 4037 comments Do we have a shelf announcement yet? That wicked girl in a chair appears when I try the announcement page... or "PAGE NOT AVAILABLE"

Goodreads is being evil today...


message 370: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yep, she kept interrupting my attempts to post the shelf :(


message 371: by Lis (new)

Lis | 4037 comments Got it finally... Wednesday does not seem like it would be a peak day... oh well, off to look to see if the new releases I want to read are on there....

They should know this is SOS Bingo shelf day... not a day to mess with us...


message 373: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments LOL


message 374: by Rosina (new)

Rosina | 1714 comments If a book is on the list but has been shelved 0 times...can we still use it?


message 375: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments As long as its on the list that's fine.


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9662 comments Thanks for the stats Sandra. With the new winning patterns, it's harder to see at a glance who is ahead.


message 377: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yep, I agree Val, that's why I did it.

message 380: by D.G. (last edited Mar 21, 2017 05:58PM) (new)

D.G. | 2752 comments Question...I noticed that in the shelf announcements thread, we have a shelf called Owned, not read yet. However in our team stamp, it's says Owned, not yet read. (not sure if that's just us or all of them.)

Which is the right one? ;)


message 381: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Just checked the official link D.G. and its Owned, Not Read Yet.


message 382: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 2752 comments Thanks, Sandra!


message 383: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 2752 comments I've been surprised to see a lot of #1 series books in the "Next In Series" shelf. I've had that shelf for years, but I use it to shelve the next book I have to read in a series. That way, if I plan to continue a series I've started, I know where to look. :)

But I guess some people use it to denote the next series they are planning to read?


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9662 comments Or simply neglect to update their tags?


message 385: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 1586 comments Ah... could be, Valerie. I use it like D.G. does. But you are probably right.


message 386: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 1586 comments Shelf? (view spoiler)

Hahahaha!! I'm in the same boat, Lisa Kay!!!


message 388: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 2516 comments Can our book be "next in series" that we have started...or must it be from the List?
thanks


message 389: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Must be on the list Ezi.

Sorry for the late response, my telco stuffed my phone & internet connection yesterday and I've just got it back.


Art (aka Whistler Reads) (art-whistlerreads) | 874 comments Looks like I'll have to pick a new series to start, then read two books for this shelf ...

World of Howl Collection World of Howl Collection (Howl's Moving Castle #1-3) by Diana Wynne Jones satisfies the 2nd in series requirement, with "Castle in the Air" (contained herein) found quite a ways into the called shelf listings ... It takes a little work, but it can be done ...

Thanks, @DG, I have yet to successfully pick up the skill of working back from my "want-to-read" list to the required/posted-shelves ... Maybe someday ... I went with the one I could find the hard way ...
