What struck me after seeing Sam's post is how well all the teams are doing - wow - what a great competition!

[Lisa Kay]

Yes, it is going to be a close horse race.

[Leah]

Shelf day!!!!!!!

Yay!

[Raquel (Rocki)]

So excited!

[Cathy M.]

(Not so) patiently waiting for the new shelf to be called...in between reads right now and not sure what I feel like reading next so I need some direction please :)

[Ora]

I finished a book a couple of hours ago and did not want to start something new until bingo is called.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

About 40 mins to go :)

Oh didn't even think of that! So does that mean shelf-time is 1 hour later than it used to be? I'm in LA so now 1:30PST? I've been refreshing every minute for the last 20 minutes :/

I really hate Daylight Savings Time...

[Raquel (Rocki)]

me tooooooo!

[Cathy M.]

Just googled Australian Eastern Daylight Time and yep, it is now 1 hour later than it used to be :( Guess I should get some work done until it's time to check again!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Our Daylight Savings Time is still the same as it was, it changes this coming Sunday.

Down to 30 mins now :)

[Suzanne]

Oh the suspense!!

It changed here in the US a couple weeks ago and just never realized the difference until today! Does your clock move forward an hour as well?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

It does when we are going into DST however we are about to end our summer of Daylight. LOL. So we turn our clocks back on Sun morning :)

[Cathy M.]

Oh right, opposite hemisphere. Duh, need to brush up on my geography :P

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

LOL

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Shelf?

[Art (aka Whistler Reads)]

DAM STRAIT

shelf SHELF SHELF

[Lisa Kay]

Shelf, shelf, shelf!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Daylight Savings ended for me last Sunday, so for those interested, or wanting to check the time I'll be posting the shelves:

New time will be 6.30am Thursday mornings which should be 1.30pm Wednesday Pacific Daylight Time.

Hopefully I won't be late :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Hoping the same!

BTW, if you want to look at a visual of where all the teams are at, please review the SOS BookShelf Bingo R14 Stats Jan 18, 2017~?.

Thanks Sandra and Sam, for posting updates on where teams are at as well! This is a particularly hard round to visualize who is closest...

Happy reading, everyone!

Thank you Sam :)

[Moondance]

Of course the book I would like to read has every possible listing of library except "available at the library".

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Dumb question alert.

Is there anyway to change the reading speed for the app Overdrive on the iPhone? I'm listening to a library book and can't seem to find the way to make it read faster.

Ok, sorry. Found it.

[Lisa Kay]

I know where it is on my computer, Valerie, but where is it on the app?

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Lisa, here the help page for it.

I really hope we get either UF, magic, shifters or fae tomorrow so I can read this week...

Who else is planning to read it?
