Welcome to SOS' 11th Round of BookShelf Bingo!

Please sign up on this thread, not here. This thread is for random BSB chatter only. Many Thanks!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Just wanna say an early hi & welcome to the Bingo horde! Looking forward to round 11! (Wow...double ones! Thank you all for making this game fun, popular and long-lasting!!)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:D It's awesome that everyone continues to enjoy it. Who would'a thought? Not me my hubby. LOL! I can still remember him helping me work it out into a method that would work for an online team challenge. Couldn't have done it without him, but he didn't think it'd work - at least not this well. Silly boy. >;)

My hubby still doesn't understand the appeal of it either. I only have to mention Bingo and he gets a strange look on his face, like, oh no not again. It'll be better now that its mid week.

[D.G.]

So I've been looking at the shelves and I think the one that will give more trouble is Leather & Lace. I couldn't find ONE cover with either among my books!

LOL! Well, my DH likes it, he just didn't see how it could work in an online format. He's always rooting on me and my teammies for the win. :p But, come to think of it, only 1 win in 10 rounds, he's gotta step up his cheering. :D

Hmm. I'll have to poke around mine to see what I have that would fit it. I know Neill's Chicagoland Vampires always seem to have a leathered up Merit on the cover.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I think I've got a lot of leather but not much lace. Don't a lot of those ab guys wear leather pants?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I thought so too. And, I know some of my naughty tales must have some lace. Just might be non-PNR/UF.

Yeah, I've got no shortage of leather, but only spotted one PNR with lace so far (Two's A Couple, Three's The Law). But, I think I could find more if I ventured out of the PNR/UF series.

Should I create a shelf on the group's bookshelf for those with L&L, ya think?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

That's not a bad idea. I'll add mine to it as well, tonight.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Sounds like a plan. I'm logging off - gotta watch Scandal (love that show!) and get some sleep. I'll work on adding some tomorrow. Only problem with the group shelf is that you can't sort as well as you can with personal shelves. But, at least it'll be there for those who need some suggestions.

ETA : I created a shelf to use : cover leather&lace

[Mary X]

Where am I missing the list of shelves?

[Mary X]

Never mind, I see.

For stuff like Leather or Lace it doesn't actually have to be on a shelf right, just needs it on the cover?

[D.G.]

The thing with leather is that in a lot of cases, it just looks like black pants/shirts/etc. I've been having to look at large pictures of the covers to find some shine that would yell 'leather!' hahahaha!

[D.G.]

Shelf!

Yep, just needs to be on the cover.

Are you getting warmed up for Wed.? This cracked me up :P

Hahahaha, Nichole, that was the point!

[Jenne]

Leather and lace isn't too bad. Lots of assassin-ish books have leather on the cover.

[Mary X]

I was thinking the same: UF books. Vampires and shifters seem to have a fondness for leather.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yeah, I've been enlarging lots of covers too, DG. :D But, definitely common on the hunter/vamp books.

I'll be closing the sign-up thread tomorrow, then shuffling for teams Mon, so everyone will be able to chat and mingle before we start Wed. :D

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

*BIG GRIN*

[AH]

Yah! Now I'll be forced to read....

[Jenne]

Is it too early to start chanting teams teams teams? :D

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

As long as you have a suitable lubricant handy, so you don't get hoarse. We don't want any injuries before we start. LOL

[Jenne]

LMAO!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! :D

Team threads are up, ladies! No bingo cards yet, but I'll have 'um up tomorrow.

[Danielle Book Boss]

There are three teams with a Danielle on it... Should I just join one and let the others manage on their own? lol

[Mary X]

Now that we have teams can we start the free space book?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Sorry about that! Danielle (book mafia enforcer), you're on team #12.

Danielle, number 12 on the signup thread, you're on team #7. And, Danielle, number 47 on the signup thread, you're on team #10.

I think that's all for our unexplained dupes. We do have a couple others, but they've either got different spellings or are using an initial.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

No, Mary, free space reads can't be read until the game starts. So, after the first shelf is announced, you can start your free space read.

[Danielle Book Boss]

Thanks Steph :)

[Mary X]

Okie dokie

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Don't forget that the minimum page count is 200 for normal bingo rounds :)

[Moondance]

Ahhh...I see lurking abounds and PMs are not always necessary. 8)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Oh yes, Cheryl, the BSB Ninjas see all. :)

[Ezi]

Team 12 will be Twisted Twelfth with me as la Capitan.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Thanks, Ezi. I'll update your thread now.

FYI: Bingo cards have been posted to each team thread. Sorry they're a bit fuzzy. You can print/save a clearer copy for yourself by clicking on the link above the card.

Happy Reading, everyone! First shelf will be announced around 1pm PST tomorrow! :D

Just so we are clear, this isn't just Freebies, right?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Nope, not Freebies :) Just ordinary with different shelves.

I'm serving as Captain for the Doomsday Bingo Bunnies. :)

Hello! The handy, dandy spreadsheet is up. Please check that it matches your team card. If there's an error, please let me know here. If there is a problem with the link, ditto! We'll be adding team names as you decide them, and updating progress a minimum of once a week...

Almost Bingo time...hooray!
