Hellooooo :-)Absolutely looking forward to this again, I love this Bingo!
========
Also, if neither of you wants to be captain, I can do that.
In that case, just please bear in mind that I'm in Europe and generally already asleep by the time shelf call rolls around. :-)
As for team names.. ehm..
Hey team! Excited to get started. This will be my first time playing in over a year - had a hectic grad school life until this past May.
Thanks for volunteering Elderwen! I have no objections.
Hope y'all have a blast!
Hello everyone, sorry for the late reply! It's also my first time playing (or even being on goodreads) in a while.
For team names… Book Blazers

Six Degrees of Reading Celebration
I’m terrible at puns so this is all I can think of lol
Ooh I like 6 Degrees of Reading Celebration!
Lady Jaye wrote: "Ooh I like 6 Degrees of Reading Celebration!"Seconded! :-D
Thanks for coming up with the name!
Do you want the number 6 or the word?
Do you guys already have a bit of a plan for which books you'd like to read?Or do you know already what your Free Space book is going to be?
Sandra wrote: "Do you want the number 6 or the word?"Personally, I'd say the word rather than the number.
Free Space Selection
Archangel's Light by Nalini Singh
Pages: 391
The series is part of the best PNR series selected by members, and practically all her books are also on the group's bookshelf.

Done :)
Hi guys. I'm still looking through the options trying to choose a free space book. I'm not yet decided.
First shelf caaaaall!! :-)Shelf #1 ~ 2 Feb 2022: Sci-Fi Romance
DIRECT LINK - Sci-Fi Romance (+ SOS' sci-fi romance)
Lady Jaye, that edition only has 188 pages.
I just checked it out of the library and noticed that the number of pages is too small. So I will be reading instead POLARIS RISING by Jesse Mihalik.
When I get home, I will update with the number of pages and the link to the book.

Lady Jaye wrote: "When I get home, I will update with the number of pages and the link to the book."Sure thing, there's no rush :-)
Hi ladies. For the Sci-Fi Romance Shelf, I will be reading
Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik.
448 pages.
Shelved 69x.
Hi ladies!Are you all good? Did you have a nice weekend, with hopefully lots of reading time? :-)
Hiya. My reading time has been extremely limited this week. Both my elder sisters, who were pregnant, and had stressful pregnancies, delivered last week (different days), and were discharged,but have since had to be re admitted at the emergency room again. One is home now, and I am still at the hospital with the second. Whew. I'm hoping to get some reading in later this week. How your week is going better than mine
Congratulations Aunty Lady Jaye!!!
Sandra wrote: "Congratulations Aunty Lady Jaye!!!"Thank you, Sandra!
Congratulations on becoming an aunt! Twice in one week no less, wow! :-)Hope all is well with everyone, despite emergency room trips!
My reading for this week is going surprisingly well after I took aaaaaages to read a book half it's size the week before hehe. I'm really enjoying the Aurora Cycle books. Can't wait for the paperback of the last one to come out this autumn :-) (Hopefully with green sprayed edges hehe.)
Hey y’all! I am so sorry for not checking in until now! My son had a seizure and it completely threw my week off being in the hospital with him. I’m combing shelves now and will get the reading done ASAP! I have a reminder set so I won’t forget!
I’ll post my sci fi and free space books today!
So sorry to hear that Danielle, hope he's OK now!
Oh no, hope all's well again and that he's back home!
Yes we are back home and he bounced right back like it never happened. It was scary but he’s back to his wild self haha!
For scifi, I will read Penny's Protector by Ruby Dixon, 232 pages, shelved 9xFor free space, I'm going to read Munro by Kresley Cole, 432 pages, Feb BOM

Danielle Book Boss wrote: "I have three books picked out. Trying to narrow down to one still haha!"Fingers crossed haha.
It's so difficult sometimes!
Finished my free space book - will post review soon. My computer’s keyboard is acting up so I had to come on through my phone.
There's always something with technology, isn't there ;-)Hope you enjoyed the book!
