Welcome to Bingo, ladies!!!!As always we need a name & a Captain :)
And we start very soon, tomorrow my time.
And just checking the time zone, Friday 6pm = Saturday 8am for me.
Hi there! Thanks for the message, Sandra!I can volunteer to be captain (I think...). Unless you or Tori have a burning desire to do it.
Tori, I don't think I know you, so it's nice to meet you virtually! I'm a bingo lover and this is one of my favorites, so can't wait to get going!
Name ideas...

Rockin' Round the Bingo Tree
I'm happy for you to be Captain, LaurLa unless Tori wants to do it, then shoot-out :D
And just in case you haven't already, please tick the Notify me box on our thread or you might get lost again.
Shelf #1 ~ 1 Nov: D - "Drizzle" or dragon(s)Requirement: Choose a book using one of the following options ...
* For "drizzle", read a book with rain on the cover, 'rain' or 'mist' in the title, series or author's name or a wet character on the cover
* For dragon(s), read a book found on one of these shelves: GR dragon, GR dragons or SOS Dragon
I'm a sucker for Dragons, so my pick is
I haven't picked a Free Space book yet.
LaurLa I quite like Rockin' Round the Bingo Tree for a name.
For Free Space I'm thinking
Its on the Group Bookshelf.
I am here but I feel like Tori is roaming around GR lost....
I want to use The Girl in the Woods with series "Misted Pines" - not sure past tense is allowed. I've asked in the discussion thread.
LaurLa wrote: "I am here but I feel like Tori is roaming around GR lost...."I PMd her the same time I PMd you. I'm sure she'll turn up soonish.
Perhaps you should be Captain, and set up the Master thread.
And yes past tense is allowed for Misted :)
I shall be captain... do we want to go with the name we like or wait for Tori?

First book in what looks to be a fabulous series.
Vesper Quill, lab rat in the R&D lab Kent Corp, thinks she can only fix broken things, and figure out how things work. A limited seer. Angry.
Kyrion Caldaren, Lead Arrow of the Imperium, warrior, arrogant, Angry.
Holloway, the Ruler of the Imperium, just like in Star Wars, a real baddie. Greedy.
This first book sets up a wonderful sci-fi rom fest. Lots of planets, ways of living, desperate people, greedy people, rich & greedy people, magic people, magic & desperate not to lose their magic people.
And smart, sciencey people who get very angry at people who take advantage. And warriors who use swords as well as blasters!
Love your team name! 😊
Shelf 1: Drizzle or Dragon(s)
by T.R. CameronDate: 6/11/24
Rating: ★★★★★
Once again Cait, US Marshall & Aza, dragon are in the thick of several stormfronts, shifters on the home mountain wanting to kick all the witches out of their ancestral lands, both the Rose & Dragon crime gang wars and Carl Winston, the assassin from The Syndicate, who escaped prison and has a grudge against Cait.
This is an action-packed series that doesn't let up for a moment.
One very good thing is that Cait is now able to communicate with Aza telepathically, due to Aza bonding with her, according to the Dragons.
Looking forward to the next instalment.
Hi ladies. I will be messaging our standby players for one of them to jump into the spot left vacant by Tori. If she should find her way back to your team after a standby player has been added, she will be offered the option of becoming a standby player or put into an existing vacancy instead.
Thanks Steph :)
Thank-you!I'm not having much luck progressing on my books. I'll try to catch up this weekend!

No worries LaurLa, its really early in the game. Hope you're enjoying them, regardless.
LaurLa, I can't post the new shelf as my internet has gone down and I'm on my phone. But I did pick out a book for this shelf: Beneath a Blood Moon by R.J. Blain its on the SOS shelf.
Shelf #2 ~ 8 Nov: S- "September" or shifter(s)Requirement: Choose a book using one of the following options ...
* For "September", read a book published in the month of September within the last 4 years (2021-24); a book with an academia trope; or 'harvest' in the title or series name
* For dragon(s), read a book found on one of these shelves: GR shifter, GR shifters, SOS shifter, SOS were-shifter
Made it to the library to download my book. I think the router has gone to the techno graveyard but the hubby thinks it'll magically repair itself. I've already tried everything I know 🙃
We shall 😌 see
Losing your internet access is worse than losing your phone... maybe...
Well I use my computer about 4x as much as the phone so its really annoying for me:🥴
WiFi issues are the worst. Hope it’s back soon!Tatenisha, from the standby list, will be joining your team. 😊 She should be checking in soon.
Thanks Steph. Hubby has now conceded the router has died, so its off to the shops tomorrow morning Woo Hoo!!!
Welcome Tatenisha
Hey everyone. What shelves do I need to update a review on?
Welcome, Tatenisha! Hoping Steph of Sandra can verify but I think since we are still early in the game, you should go ahead and read for all the called shelve (#1 & #2) and the free space. Both shelf calls are posted in this thread but are also in the announcement thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...Let me know if you have any questions!
Ok, just letting you know that I am on a cruise and will be posting both shelves when I get back. Didn't want you to think I was MIA
That sounds wonderful Tatenisha, lucky you!When do you get back?

My internet problem has escalated, so happy you're the captain LaurLa. I'm hoping it'll be fixed next week but it could be longer. Going to the library to log in sucks as much as the phone.

I get back Sunday

Review🚦
Pretty typical KA which is like crack for me, so I have no problem with that. This one was almost 100% from the male MC's POV, which is a little bit of a change for the author, she usually does female MC, sometimes a little dual. And the male MC was not over the top alpha. He was no pushover, but he was not afraid to be in a relationship with a strong women and to let her lead if/when she needed or wanted. I like this series and am looking forward to the next one.
