Your job, should you choose to accept it, will require a few things:

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

hey Team! I'm looking forward to another great round of bingo! I'm really bad at team names, but am happy to captain if no one else wants it.

[Eldarwen]

Hello hello!
Team names aren't really my forte either haha. Could captain too but happy to leave it to someone in a time zone who's awake when shelf calls happen :-)

[~JustMel~]

Hi everyone! Sorry I’m late! It’s been a while since I’ve played so I’m happy to not be captain this round lol
As for names… how about The One Hitter Quitters? Or The One-touchables?

I’ll be reading:


Third Grave Dead Ahead by Darynda Jones

Page Amount: 310

I didn't think I'd be this lucky with the first shelf call! I am going to read this for another challenge and it just happens to fit here, fab!


Book: Force of Nature by Jane Harper
Pages: 380
How it fits: the main character, Aaron Falk, is a federal police agent - and it's tagged detectives 63 times (not paranormal detectives, but this at least shows that he is really a detective :-))

The Unholy, Heather Graham – 4/29/23 – ✮✮✮✮✰
Review — I enjoyed spending time with the newest Krewe of Hunters! This was a fun mystery focusing around a film noir–type murder. Another solid book in this series and I’m looking forward to what’s to come.

Title: Third Grave Dead Ahead
Page #: 310
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Completed: 5.3.23

An amazing ride from start to finish. I could barely put this down. Don’t you just love it when you find a book that you’d willingly lose sleep for?? So good! I love how quirky Charley is and her million and one comebacks, and the banter between her and pretty much anyone else she speaks to. I don’t even know how many times she made me cackle and/or roll me eyes (lol). This story was so well written… it was a breeze to imagine myself in every scene. The plot was easy to follow and I found myself solving the case right alongside her.

I can’t wait to see what shenanigans she’s gets mixed up in next!

10/10 highly recommend

[~JustMel~]

For my Free Space book I’ll be reading:



Book: Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet by Darynda Jones
Option: #3 SOS Bookshelves
Pages: 308

[Eldarwen]

Review — A good start to a new series from a new-to-me author. I’m interested to see the development of Rachel and her crew.

And no, I refused. There wasn't enough in book one to even remotely make me want to continue unfortunately.

Detective


Book: Force of Nature by Jane Harper
Date Read: 1st May 2023
Pages: 380
Rating: 4 stars
How it fits: the main character, Aaron Falk, is a federal police agent - and it's tagged detectives 63 times (not paranormal detectives, but this at least shows that he is really a detective :-))
Review: Aaron Falk has grown on me in the first book and this book was no different. I enjoyed the setting, the atmosphere and the mystery - five women go out into the bushland for three days to hike as a team building event but only four of them return. The story was in alternating chapters between the current time line of Falk and his partner trying to solve the mystery of the disappearing woman and chapters describing what happened up to the moment where the woman disappeared. It kept me guessing, establishing theories and I enjoyed the ride a lot. Can't wait to get my hands on book #3!

I'll choose which book to read for the May shelf once I'm done with Kings of the Wyld. That should be some time over the course of the next couple of days. Before the next shelf call hopefully though :-)
