Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 2179 comments I'm hoping not to finish any current books. Because then I'll be afraid of starting a new one that might have been perfect for first shelf call ... guess in the meantime I'll be thinking about my free space choice.

I have a lot of buddy reads assigned to a specific date so I have lists of "if shelf falls on this date" books. :)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 2484 comments When waiting for a round to start, I normally just read non-fiction, non paranormal or books too short since most of the shelves will be series or paranormal related.

Steph (angel4492) | 32742 comments In case you haven't already found your team, here's a Shortcut/list of Team Assignments

So @Sandra, per the rules ... is the book of month limited to "March" right now?

And a comment ... it would be nice if the "T1, T2," etc. pages were linked on the team assignment page ... it took me a while to find them this round ... as it did last round, too...


message 60: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25913 comments We'll have to hassle Steph on that one Art :D

I'll try and remember to remind her for next round, which will be later this yr.

There are the both the March & April books so far, but don't forget, any book on the SOS Bookshelf is available for Free Space. At the moment that is 5,087 books to choose from.

Anyone is allowed to put books on the bookshelf that they want to read for Bingo, right up until the first shelf is called.

We want members to add books they've read and enjoyed at anytime throughout the year. You just never know what you might want to read.

Found my team ... took forever to find individual page ... could I suggest the "T1, T2, etc." be linked on the "assignment" page to lead our newbies/help our oldtimers to find the team pages???

...(they're burried below left-overs from R15)...
...you have to ask to see the rest of the links and scroll way down to get them all to show...

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 2484 comments It's odd that the system is putting the newer threads below ones that haven't had any posting on them since last November.


message 63: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32742 comments Hey guys, first, we're in immediate need of standby players. One player has already had to drop out. So, please let your friends know, anyone who missed out before signup closed, anyone that might be interested and willing/able to stick with us through to the end would be greatly appreciated!

Second, sorry for the hassle, Art. I'll try to remember to also include links to the team threads going forward.

Third, some of the older threads are above the newer threads because they're marked important by the mods. I'll review them and remove the important status to any that aren't needed for this round. Threads below those with an asterisk, which marks the thread as important and keeps it at the top, will organize themselves by most recent post (I believe).

message 75: by Cheri (new)

Cheri | 467 comments Hey I have a question about books we can read. Before the game started I was reading the psy-changeling book 14. I’m about 45% of the way through. Can I use that book for the futuristic romance shelf or do I need to finish that one and start the 15th book?

Steph (angel4492) | 32742 comments A BSB ninja added your team names as well, Nichole & Lekeisha :)

You'll need to start the 15th book Cheri. Can't start reading before the shelf is called, which also applies to the Free Space book.

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 2516 comments Question regarding FREE SPACE read:
I would like to read Heartstriker book 5: Last Dragon Standing (Heartstrikers, #5) by Rachel Aaron by Rachel Aaron which was published on March 1, 2018.
This new release isn't on the SOS bookshelf but the prior books in the series are. See link: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

Is the book eligible for me to read?
Thanks


message 81: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25913 comments Isn't the Heartstriker series on one of the Best of Lists? If so its eligible, if not try & keep it for the dragon shelf :)

And damn, if I'd realised it was coming out I would've added it to the shelves.

I didn't check the BEST OF list. But I don't recall seeing it in the past.
I just happened to be on the bookshelf because I was considering the new Patricia Briggs or Anne Bishop and I saw Nice Dragons finish last---my heart leapt for joy. I love Julius and Frederick and Chelsea and Amelia...and I am on the fence with Bob, Katyana & Svetlana, Ian

The Heartstriker series is my second favorite dragon series after The Darkness series by Katie Reus (which isn't a pure Dragon series since it has all kinds of supernaturals)
Darkness Awakened (Darkness, #1) by Katie Reus Taste of Darkness (Darkness, #2) by Katie Reus Beyond the Darkness (Darkness, #3) by Katie Reus Hunted by Darkness (Darkness #4) by Katie Reus Into the Darkness (Darkness #5) by Katie Reus Saved by Darkness (Darkness, #6) by Katie Reus Guardian of Darkness (Darkness, #7) by Katie Reus


message 83: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25913 comments I just checked, I've got the 1st 3 of The Darkness series, but not read any of them yet. And I think I've got #1 of Heartstriker cause D.G. loves it too & recs it.

Yes, D.G and I have chatted about this series.

Darkness book 1 was weak, but the Book 2 was the book that sold me on the series. I love the narration by Jeffrey Kafer. I will add it to favorite audios later

Good to know!

I read the first one a while ago and thought it wasn't all too bad. If the second one is better, then I'll definitely have to get back to that series! :-)
