Hello Teamies!So excited to get started :0)
Happy Reading, Ladies!
Hey friends! Very excited to play!
Anyone want to volunteer as captain?As to team names, 16 doesn't really lend itself to anything so perhaps we should go with something more generic like:
Bookish Bingo Babes
The Grim Readers
Soulfull Sixteen
Or something else...
I don't mind being Captain if no one else wants to do it.I like The Grim Readers.
How was everyone's New Years?
I love Soulful Sixteen (Only because I was a Grim Reading Reaper in another round) and Raquel, I support you as captain :)Other suggestions:
Read it and Weep
Requiem for a Read
The Reading Rainbow
Dawn of the Read
How about I went to the wrong thread a minute ago and gave them name suggestions too lmao. So that's how my New Year is going hahaha
lol well now all it can do is get better right? Soulfull sixteen sounds good as well.

Hi team! I participate in so many challenges I don't think I could take on the responsibilities of captain so I hope somebody else can volunteer. As team names go I like Soulful Sixteen and Read it and Weep.
I'm excited to get this party started! I love Bingo challenges!
bingo challenges are the best i agree!
Thanks for volunteering as captain, Raquel!I also like Read it and Weep and Soulful Sixteen :0)
Oh, and to answer your New Years question I was home and in bed by 10. Lol. I'm old.
No problem. I made it to midnight but just barely. My husband was already out. We watched the ball drop in New York at 11 and we were good after that lol.
I'm so excited to get things going I don't know how I am going to make it to the 18th. I have already started looking at the lists so I have a book ready for each shelf.
My New Years was uneventful until a bout of the stomach flu landed me in the ER getting IV fluids. Fun times!
oh no I hope you are better now.
Raquel (Rocki) wrote: "oh no I hope you are better now."Much! Thanks.
Okay so it looks like it is between Read it and Weep or Soulful Sixteen which one do we want to go with?
Between the two, I like Read it and Weep!
Okay so it looks like we will be Read it and Weep! I'll let the powers that be know.
Everyone's checked in. We've got our name and our captain all picked out. We're ready to roll!! Come on 18th!
I went ahead and made my first message where we are going to keep what we read posted. If you know what you are going to read for the free space I have that ready so just let me know.
I'm going to read Moonshadow which is Group BOM for January for Free Space. I'll wait until the competition starts to start the book.
My free space will probably be
, which is on the SOS group bookshelf.
It's almost time! So excited. Shelf! Shelf! Shelf!
Of course, the book I wanted to read this week isn't on this shelf. *sigh*Off to peruse...

Final Thoughts:
Couldn't really get into this one. Because Lon and Corey were already an established couple the romance was nonexistent. The author focused more on the werewolves and this property they wanted with the stream containing endangered fish. The plot and story held zero interest for me. I managed to get through it but if I wasn't reading it for this challenge I would have given up on it.
I've decided to read
hopefully we find out more about this stick
Raquel (Rocki) wrote: "I've decided to read hopefully we find out more about this stick"I need to get back to this series. I've let it lapse.
i need to catch up on the other series to this one alpha and omega I have only read the first one and havent gone past... but i agree you need to pick up mercy again which book did you leave off on.
was the last one I read. Waiting a whole year between books is annoying so I like accumulating a few or even better waiting for the series to end and then reading.

Final Thoughts:
I loved this book. But it about broke me a couple of times. Klune is such a talented author. I loved everybody in this book. The MCs and the secondary characters. Especially Ox. I can't wait to read more from this series.
Definitely an auto buy series for me. I saw on another thread that her husband unexpectedly passed away this week. So sad for her and her family. Hopefully they will find peace even with this loss.
