Vision in Silver is my guess for one of the top reads too!

I need a shelf because I really really want to start .

[D.G.]

Shelf!!!

I've been so out of sorts. Can't seem to settle on anything!

I want to read it too!

[Raquel (Rocki)]

Shelf!

[D.G.]

Is it time?

SHELFFFFF!!!

[Kim]

I know, right...lol. Just finished my Reader's Choice so I'm ready to start a new one :) Come on, Randomizer - give us a good shelf.

[Daffodil]

Some more shelves added to the potential winner pool.

Team 1: blue/purple
Team 2: yellow/orange
Team 4: witches
Team 7: leather or lace
Team 9: Sci-Fi genre
Team 11: yellow/orange
Team 12: UF
Team 13: armed & ready

[Jenne]

Wow lots more! So that's like half of the uncalled shelves (I think).

[D.G.]

Thanks for posting that, Daffodil! Now I know which shelves not to prepare for (we're not one of the winning teams so if one of the winning shelves is called, is over for me.)

[Jenne]

Omg I'm dying!!!! I need a book to read!!!!

[Nichole]

Shelf! Shelf! Shelf!

[Daffodil]

It's 2:59 Central, do you know where your SHELF is?

[Ezi]

It's not a winner for anyone, yes!

LOL!

It's up. Not a winning shelf, but does give some add'l teams 4-in-a-row.

[Ezi]

Do Witches and gods/goddesses count as "paranomrmal" creatures...
Specifically I am inquiring about ?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yes, Ezi. Enjoy.

[D.G.]

Hey Mods...question...how do we prove the different creatures in our book? Are we going with the honor system? Or does it have to be in the descriptions, shelves, etc?

Also, do different types of shifters count as different creatures? Meaning, wolf shifters vs. cat shifters, etc.?

[Ezi]

great question.

@Sandra: Thanks

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Of course it is the honor system. This is a fun game with no prize but glory for the winners, what would be the point of cheating? Especially as someone is bound to have read the book already and would know.

As to different shifter types, I would say they are different supes. I wouldn't be confusing dogs & cats, they are so different. LOL

[Nichole]

Can someone tell me if there are different supes/creatures in ? Or is it just aliens?

[Rosina]

I'm on my phone and can't see what creatures is in the Skin walker series by faith hunter going to start with#1
the blurb mentions vampires is the main character a super?

[Nichole]

That one has witches and skinwalkers too. Probably others as well.

hope you enjoy I read it last week and loved it

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Sorry Nichole I haven't read so I don't know.

[Nichole]

Thanks anyway, Sandra. I decided on Nice Girls Don't Live Forever.

[Jenne]

Oooh good one Nicole! <3 Dick Cheney :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

That stats are coming along nicely. The first 5 shelves + Free Space are completely done, and the next 2 shelves are partly done - just waiting on reviews.

So 432 books analysed so far :)

Still got one clear favourite, but 2 books now are chasing hard.

[Nichole]

Shelf! :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Just a FYI major storm system has moved in and 200,000 are without power at the moment. 4 houses have floated away and 3 people have died.

Just letting you know as I'm doing this week's Bingo shelf, hopefully it'll be alright. Still a day and a half away, fingers crossed.

[AH]

Keep safe Sandra.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Thanks AH, I'm safe where I am, but if a tree falls & cuts the power, I doubt it'll be fixed before the bingo deadline. Hopefully we'll be OK.

I think we'll understand if the shelf is late.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Hopefully if I can't post it Judithe will sign in and post it. But if so it will be late as Judithe is behind time wise & could possibly be asleep at shelf call time.

Stay safe!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Thanks Melissa :)

[D.G.]

Stay safe, Sandra! And thanks for letting us know.

[Jenne]

Stay safe Sandra!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Thanks ladies :)

[Moondance]

Safety first, Sandra! We will be OK with a late shelf call if it comes to that.

[Daffodil]

I'm hoping you and yours remain safe throughout the storms, Sandra.

I took a look at the bingo stats and we added 2 more teams to the potential winner list. Unfortunately, my team did not make the cut. :(

Team 1: blue/purple
Team 2: yellow/orange, UF
Team 4: witches, vampires
Team 5: vampires
Team 7: leather or lace
Team 9: Sci-Fi genre
Team 11: yellow/orange
Team 12: UF
Team 13: armed & ready
Team 14: Sci-Fi genre

Of the shelves left to call
7 are not winners and will continue the game for another week
man's world
New2You Author
New2You Series
1st, 2nd, 3rd in series
white/beige/pink
black/gray
red

4 shelves assure a shut-out victory with only 1 team as a potential winner
blue/purple: Team 1
witches: Team 4
leather or lace: Team 7
armed & ready: Team 13

4 shelves will mean a race to the finish with more than 1 team in the running
yellow/orange: Team 2 & Team 11
UF: Team 2 & Team 12
vampires: Team 4 & Team 5
Sci-Fi genre: Team 9 & Team 14

So at this point, anything can happen. It's a little less than 50-50 that the shelf called will be a non-winning one. Good luck everyone. But just so you know, I'm rooting for one of those 7 shelves that will keep the game going another round.

[Nichole]

Keep safe, Sandra!

[Michelle]

Stay safe, Sandra!

[Lis]

Scary Sandra, please stay safe... and dry...

And Mr R, "leather or lace" please...

[D.G.]

I would ask for vampires but I have a feeling that Mr. R. will favor one of the "non winning" shelves.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Thank you ladies, I'm home safe & dry.

We live on the top of a ridge so no flooding can happen here. And as far as I know all my friends & family are OK as well.

Sydney Harbour is still closed but the trains are back working, but lots of low lying roads are flooded. Took the hubby 2 hrs to get home yesterday, twice as long as usual and that was using the main roads. He wasn't happy :(

As to Mr R, who can tell???

[Nichole]

Glad to hear you and yours are safe!

Oh, and I'd like black/gray please. K thanks :)

[~Melissa~]

Glad to hear you and your family/friends are safe :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

The weather has backed off and moved both up the coast and down the coast - weird. Still raining, but it means we shouldn't have any problems with the bingo shelf. Fingers crossed.

[[deleted user]]

Glad things have become better there, Sandra! Still, stay safe.
