Go go go go, they get better with every book!!

[Jammin Jenny]

So do all the Anita Baker books work for this challenge in terms of a Sin Bingo, or only certain ones?

I can certainly find out. I'll make a list of which ones count for what. I'm a weirdo and that's oddly fun for me.

I'm on book 9. I keep getting distracted by Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld series when I'm in t..."

That's another series I haven't caught up! I'm at book 6 for that series, apparently I need to start looking at my series tbr :)

For the Anita Blake

Books 1-3 don't seem to work for anything in terms of SIN BINGO.

Book 4:
This will work for Red SIN BINGO

Book 5:
Would work for Sloth/Blue SIN BINGO assuming you have it on your shelf already or it's a series you meant to get back to and haven't

Book 6:
It has contemporary shelved, it's purple but I can't figure out a way to make it fit for bingo.

Book 7:
This will work for Red SIN BINGO

Book 8:
Would work for Sloth/Blue SIN BINGO assuming you have it on your shelf already or it's a series you meant to get back to and haven't

Book 9:
Would work for Sloth/Blue SIN BINGO assuming you have it on your shelf already or it's a series you meant to get back to and haven't

Book 10: I can't make this one work unless you have this cover:

Book 11:
Would work for Sloth/Blue SIN BINGO assuming you have it on your shelf already or it's a series you meant to get back to and haven't

Book 12 - 17 don't seem to meet color criteria

Book 18:
Would work for Sloth/Blue SIN BINGO assuming you have it on your shelf already or it's a series you meant to get back to and haven't

Book 19 & 20 don't seem to meet color criteria

Book 21 and 22:
Would work for Sloth/Blue SIN BINGO assuming you have it on your shelf already or it's a series you meant to get back to and haven't

Book 5:

[Snowtulip]

-is it purple?

-is it brown?

[Eldarwen]

Snowtulip wrote: "-is it purple?

No, that's definitely not a purple cover - comes across more as pink.

Yes to the brown one however.

[Eldarwen]

Wow, Stacie! Nice work!

[Jammin Jenny]

Thanks Stacie!

Would either of these work for Sin Bingo?

[Eldarwen]

Jenny, just check the book's tags and the sin requirements!

The Girl with All the Gifts, for one, is already on Melindam's list on the first page of the thread as it has been talked about.

Does the red cover had the guilty pleasures tag and does it fit the other requirement for Lust? If so, then yes, you can use it.

[Jammin Jenny]

Thanks E. It does not have guilty pleasures on the first page of tags so no go on the BINGO. I could still use it for a red cover, and something I lust after, but not a BINGO.

[Jammin Jenny]

So I found a book for Envy, but how do I tell if someone on another team has read it:



Does it look green to you?

[Stacie]

I've been opening the sign up sheet and looking at my friends to see if any of them have read it this year and are on other teams. Otherwise you have to search each person on the sign up sheet to see if they've read it

[Jammin Jenny]

Thanks Stacie. I'll check it out...hopefully someone else that is playing has read it already.

[Eldarwen]

Or you could always play visitor in a few other threads and ask if anyone's read it this year. Might be a quicker and more fun way to find someone than having to hunt through all the shelves - there are quite a lot of people after all.


As for the Orson... it looks like it should be green, but I'm honestly not sure on that middle part :-/ Does it actually have a green tinge or is that just the writing and surroundings picking up the colour reflection? (If that makes any sense.)

What do other people think?

[Eldarwen]

Jammin Jenny wrote: "Thanks E. It does not have guilty pleasures on the first page of tags so no go on the BINGO. I could still use it for a red cover, and something I lust after, but not a BINGO."

Definitely keep it at hand then for the cover colour, you never know! Bingo isn't always easy to find hehe.

[Stacie]

I know one of the other teams made a spreadsheet that has a ton of green books on it and who read it when I was looking at threads yesterday.

[Jammin Jenny]

Ooh. I'll try do some snooping later while I'm listening to a book.

[Snowtulip]

I'll be on vacation when the challenge starts, so I'm going to get my books loaded...but now I'm suffering from indecision from being a mood reader!

I might need someone to tell me what to read ;)

Something BIG! :-D

[Eldarwen]

Alright, so for the planners among you (or those going on holiday and needing to pack):

There are several prizes we can win: Look here for more info.

We could always try to go for one of those OR we can just read the way the mood strikes us and hope that it'll end up helping to get one of those.

However, in case you missed in when you read the rules, there are going to be mini challenges. So bear that in mind when you start planning ;-)

One way or another, to make the most out of the number of books you signed up with (since usually some of you read more for challenges than they originally sign up with) go for the books that will give us the most points: BOM books, big books, sin bingo books.

I just had a look and I see it as green also in the middle, even though it's light.

[Rachel]

Hello everybody! I'm Rachel-- I was on vacation to the UK and Ireland the past two weeks and just got back last night! I thought we checked in in October so I'm glad I got back when I did!

Very excited to read with you all!

[Rachel]

And here (https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...) is my bookshelf!

[Jammin Jenny]

Welcome Rachel.

[Rachel]

Book Ideas:

: Pride SinBingo, LGBT/purple cover/contemporary shelf)

: Envy SinBingo-- YA/green/On Somebody's Bookshelf (I will dig around for this if there's agreement that this counts as a green cover!

: Pride SinBingo -- Purple/LGBT/contemporary

: Pride SinBingo-- Purple/LGBT/Contemporary

: Greed SinBingo (maybe?): yellow?/Dystopia/Anything goes

Let me know if any of these work! I was working through what are on my shelves. :)

[Eldarwen]

Hello and welcome to the team, Rachel!

Hope you enjoyed your holiday :-)

I'm going to be picky again - sorry!
But I'm iffy on some of these covers as I'm not sure they're >50%.

The green one for instance jumps at you as green, but when you actually look at it, I'm not sure the green covers half the cover? Could be, but I'm letting myself be distracted by the fat flower in the middle haha.
Same issue with the purple one with the cards.

Your yellow option actually looks more brown to me.

Hello Rachel,

Welcome to the Team & thanks for checking the books.

[Snowtulip]

Welcome Rachel!

[Eldarwen]

Hello fellow Sloths!

Not long to go now until the challenge starts!! :-D

Are you ready to go? Chomping at the bits?? Oh wait... we're sloths.. so probably you're all just lazing around somewhere on a couch, taking things easy and hoping you'll have found the motivation to pick up your first book by the time the start rolls around ;-))

[Eldarwen]

The Mods have provided us with a little bit of entertainment before the challenge starts, so why don't you follow Melindam's example and head over to this fabulous thread and have a bit of fun? :-)

[Snowtulip]

[Eldarwen]

[Melindam]

[Stacie]

Here's another book for Red Bingo. I was looking at my physical shelves last night for inspiration.

[Eldarwen]

Alright fellow Sloths!!

The time is coming ever closer to start this challenge and some of you have grown suspiciously quiet. You aren't sleeping... are you? I mean, it's all nice and fellow to be a little slothful (yes, Melindam and I have been told this is an actual word and we were ecstatic about it haha) from time to time but now it's time to get our gears working!

Can we get a roll call please to make sure you're all still alive and kicking?? ;-)

In all seriousness, please do check in before Sunday (even if it's just by posting a gif etc) so we know everyone is still on board. If you still have questions about how the challenge works, don't hesitate to ask.

Also, who else is going to join a BOM to snag us some extra points? Jenny has already signed up for both books in the main group. Joy will be answering the DQ for Gideon. Nicole and I will be reading the Backroom. Did we miss someone? Do we have more volunteers? :-)

[Jammin Jenny]

I was actually randomly selected to start the BOM DQs for for Day 1 so I'll be reading that on Monday (or at least starting it).

I also plan on reading one of Stephen King's big books - . I think it's purple so that should give us some extra points too, right? Even if it isn't a bingo?

[Eldarwen]

Oh nice on the DQ!!
I'm curious to see what you think of Gideon. It sounds interesting and yet at the same time I'm not sure I want to read it? It's a very odd feeling.

Yes, cover colours give the most points if it isn't a complete bingo so that one should bring us a nice chunk :-)

[Jammin Jenny]

Do you think this is a blue cover?



It's been a series I've put on hold for a long time - unfortunately it's not dark fantasy on the first page of tags.

Do we get extra if we get two out of three?

[Eldarwen]

No, it's either all three or only one of the options.

I don't think that cover is blue enough though unfortunately. The blue stands out but there isn't enough of it.

[Melindam]

E., as the Backroom BOM was free on kindle, I downloaded it and I'm going t o read it this time even if it kills me!!!! :D (I updated the sheet)

LOL, I gave up on the backroom bom for wheel-o-brown. You know the one, Perfect Formation .

I had great fun reading the chat-thread, but I just couldn't bring myself to read the book beyond the 1st few chapters, it was so silly.

[Eldarwen]

Oh that was a terrible, terrible book!!

But this one is supposedly better and has some actual story to it as well. It isn't just badly-written wanna-be smut.

[Melindam]

Good. You set my mind at rest. LOL

So back to sloth-ING.

[Stacie]

I thought I joined the backroom but it's not showing in my groups and I can't find the link. Can someone send me an invite so I can make my way over there for the BOM?

I'm ready to start this challenge! Don't know what I'll read first but am looking forward to the madness!

Actually, yes, you did join - or rather you requested to join. I have now approved your request, so you're good to go :-)

Eta: Bom is here

[Stacie]

Thanks! I sent a new request this morning because I found the group and didn't see anything saying pending. I most likely thought I clicked and did not. Sigh.
