Hiya, Team Caps! Thanks for volunteering to guide your team through a round of BookShelf Bingo!

Your job, should you choose to accept it, will require a few things:
1 ~ Be our go-to person should we have any questions about your team
2 ~ Organize your teammate's weekly reads for each shelf/category so that the BSB Ninjas can quickly and easily verify and approve your stamp request(s)
2a ~ Create a master list in a post (preferably on the first page of your team's thread) and update it weekly or as often as necessary
2b ~ Post your team's stats on the Captain's Log prior to requesting a stamp
3 ~ Encourage and motivate your team (you may also ask to borrow Judithe's whip whenever necessary)
4 ~ Post regularly to ensure your team is communicating and on track each week
4a ~ Send them a PM and friendly poke if they haven't posted at least once a week, noted their book choice, and/or appear to have dropped out of webspace
5 ~ Send us a PM (Steph, Sandra or Judithe) should you need us for any reason throughout the game

[Raquel (Rocki)]

Man there are so many to choose from i should have a decision made by tonight for shelf 1

The book I needed to read was listed as "book boyfriend/husband" I didn't think it would qualify. I can love on Reyes a bit. Don't tell Roarke!

I love Kate Daniels so much! I'm eager to read this.

[Moondance]

Just a FYI: I will try to make In Death books for as many shelf calls as possible. Lol! Sandra knows me far too well.

you say that like it's a bad thing...hell, I was hoping to find Witness in Death on one of the lists since I started rereading the series last year. I so don't blame you for wanting to jump on the Roarke train! ;)

I resisted for a very long time before starting the series. Sandra and Marisa convinced me that I would catch up. I'm up to 36, I believe. I love them!

[☘KathyD☘]

I'm caught up to #50...I figure I'll read whatever comes next when I get there again! I've had so much fun remeeting these characters and watching them grow.

Well that makes sense, though I jumped around a bit when I first started reading them as I was getting them from the library.

I've got at least 1 I'll be reading this Bingo, maybe more :)

[Sam]

I'm all caught up so I can't read In Death for bingo because I don't reread for bingo as there are too many books to read.

[Raquel (Rocki)]

I need to really continue the in death series :( I just started it I am on book 6

I can make them work for at least 4 shelves. 🤣

I recently bought the 4 latest ones before Faithless.

They get better and better with each book.

[Logan]

Oooh that’s a good idea! I am slowly making my way through the In Death series. I love it so much. I think the length of the series kept me from jumping in for a long time and now I’m kicking myself because it’s so good. Why did I wait?! :)

Exactly what I said!!

[Raquel (Rocki)]

For book boyfriend I will be reading

I will have to read some more of the in the dark series during this bingo round but right now gotta work on some of these books I have had on my list for a while/finish some other series.

Rating: 4.5 stars
Reveiw:

There was a dead tax attorney in my closet, sobbing uncontrollably into the hem of her blouse.

Nothing is ever simple for Charley. She and Reyes have moved to an abandoned convent to prevent the hellhounds from destroying them and their unborn child. Cookie is finally marrying Bob and all should be well with the world.

I always forget how much I love this series and wonder why I take so much time between books. The little quips that start each chapter make me smile. One of my favorites this time is: Irony: the opposite of wrinkly. Ha!

Charley is her usual hard-headed snarky self. Reyes is beyond a dream. Sigh... The two of them together are amazing! We learn so much more about Charley's true self and her origin. She still puts herself into more danger than necessary even though she is super protective of Beep.

We also learn more about some of the secondary characters. Mr. Wong took me totally by surprise!

This installment made me laugh and cry. The ending just about did me in and I was pretty much sobbing. Now I need to read the next book to see where the story goes. I have no excuse. I think I have the rest of the series either in print or on my Kindle.

I highly recommend this series!
