Team 5: Factory Five
Mod
Hi team. Checking in 😀
Hello teammates, I'm Jamie from NYC, nice to meet you all!
Hey team! Super excited to have another team challenge to start. :) This is my first bingo so I may have lots of questions... :)
Hello. Checking in. I haven't done a team challenge in a while - so excited to get back into it with this challenge. Are we supposed to pick someone for team captain? If so, I would really prefer not to be for this challenge. It's inventory time at work and I have a vacation in 2 weeks so I don't think I would be the best choice.
I believe we may need a captain to keep a tracking post and the check us in. Does anyone care to do it? I'm ok with it if no has any interest in doing it. The first call will be Tuesday. I'm excited! ☺
I'm excited too and thank you Carmen for stepping up to track us!
I'm looking forward to this as well, and Carmen thank you for offering to take the helm.
No problem. Do we want a team name? How about Factory Five?

I like Factory Five!
Ok I'll let Ezi know if she doesn't already. LOL
Mod
She knows 🥰
BTW, a lady on one of the Bingo threads said she wishes she had a creative name like Bootyshaker Temptress.
I LOL’d because I remember when that name came about 🤣

This is good but not great. It's a well written story set in Australia and the descriptions of the area and the town are very good. Gio is a cop who has had to relocate because of some trouble in his old precinct. Jason is the sergeant in Richmond and it's the two of them taking care of the area. Jason is a widower with 10 year old son. They're both cautious but because of that it's a very slow burn story. It was just sort of boring and I wasn't really that fond of Gio. I did like the secondary characters. I checked the other titles in the series after I finished because I was sure there would be more to this but it looks like book 2 is about different MCs. This was just okay.

Review: First of all in my opinion this is the best book of the series and I gave the others 5 and 4 stars.
Secondly I love Charlotte, she is wonderful. In this adventure of Sherlock she has to don a disguise as Sherlock's brother Sherrinford Holmes to work one of the most important cases she has ever worked on.
Comical and full of twists and surprises and what I hope will lead to some form of romance.
Hii!! Question: for "shelf" do we have to create a different shelf for each Bingo category and keep that one book there?
SELECTION POST Shelf: Historical
Book: The Painted Veil

I don’t understand this question
Do we have to create a shelf in our own books to keep track of each individual category? In other team challenges we had to create a shelf so that captains could double check what we had etc. Just want to see if that’s required for this one.

Review: I suppose it's a classic for a reason! It was hard to read at times - not because of the writing but because of the time period. It was really beautifully written and I will definitely seek out more of this author's books. It's past time! Quick summary - a young woman is forced to go to rural china with her estranged husband and is exposed to the world and to herself.

Carrie can you add a read date, please. Thanks
Carrie wrote: "Edited to add date."Thanks
Hey team, happy Bingo Shelf day!I just wanted to check in and say I'm not quite finished with my book (it's a long one!) but I will get it done in next day or so and I'll pick a shorter one for the next shelf :-)
Question about disability: I have a book where a character has dyslexia but it’s not the main theme or anything. Does that work?
Zoë wrote: "Question about disability: I have a book where a character has dyslexia but it’s not the main theme or anything. Does that work?"I would say dyslexia is a disability but I'm not sure exactly what Ezi wants for sure. Its my first time playing this challenge but she did add a link to help find something. I've added it to the post above
