Original Post
Hi Team!! Looking forward to Bingo reading with you all!

Any ideas for names? We could do something with our initials "MS Double J" or team #~ Onederful??? I know...too corny, but in my defense, it's rather late in my time zone! Or a paranormal theme...maybe inspiration will strike in the morning!

[Miss]

Bingolicious....lol
Actually I like MS Double J
:-)

[Diane ~Firefly~]

So, the first person who posted gets to be the team leader, right Judithe? :)

Looking forward to playing. Pretty late here, so not much help on the brainstorming right now.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! I love the way you think, Diane. I just might use that on Sandra in my group! hehe >:)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Oh no you don't Mega Mind, you're the Bingo genius!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LMAO!! Oh, yes I did. hehe >:) Tag! You're it!

Hey....what?????!!!!!

I can deal with that, but only if this is a mega-democratic group...hate making uni-lateral decisions! But first, anyone else interested?

[Miss]

Nope :-). Judithe, you're it. Hail to our leader! Lol
Can't wait for the challenge to start!

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Yay Judithe!

So, I've been trying to come up with names and I'm not very good at it. The only one I can think of is 5 by 5 (5 members and need 5 spaces to win).

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

I'm having a crazy week/weekend work-wise so far so a little slow on stuff, but for name ideas, so far we've got:

Bingolicious MS Double J (combining with Miss' word--love that!)
5 by 5

Any number/pnr ideas? Or other movie, group, book names we could rearrange to fit?
First Ladies of Bingo

still waiting for creative inspiration....:D

[Miss]

The Fantastic 5

[Miss]

I really am not good at naming :(.

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

All ideas are great and welcome!

[Diane ~Firefly~]

BRBBSOS - Book Reading Bingo Babes of Serious Overload of Series. And that should tell you it is my bedtime. :)

[Jen (jlkish)]

Hi guys! Looking forward to starting... I'm happy with any team name :)

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

Link 1 is up! Reading starts Monday where-ever you are (in 5 minutes for me!)

The shelf is listed in the shelf announcements link and it's vampire-romance Our space is G4.

So, pick your book, read, rate, and review it on this thread (If you're worried about review writing, Steph gave so pointers...no big prize winning review necessary~tips here in post 8)

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

My choice... on page 2 :D

(You don't have to post what you're going to read here, but feel free to if you want!)

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

Hi Jen!!

[Diane ~Firefly~]

I'm probably going to read one of these:



Of course, I can be fickle about what I feel like reading, so it could be something completely different.

[Jen (jlkish)]

man... I just finished Twice Bitten... I'll see what I can get a hold of quickly... anyone know if anthology books count?

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Jen (jlkish) wrote: "man... I just finished Twice Bitten... I'll see what I can get a hold of quickly... anyone know if anthology books count?"

I would think any book on the shelf counts...

[Miss]

Oh Diane, I so envy you being new to Angel's Blood. I loved it! Totally recommend it for you.

Diane ~Firefly~ wrote: "I'm probably going to read one of these:

[bookcover:Midnight Brunch|36..."

[Miss]

I might be reading Dark Gold cause i've had it forever on my TBR, but not sure yet...
What is our time-limit?

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

There's no real time limit. However, the next shelf will be announced in two weeks. Also, the team only gets a BINGO "Stamp" after all team members have read, rated, and reviewed (post it on this thread) their book.


Also, we have the free space to read...I'm not sure, but I think we can read that at a time during the game.

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

I loved Angels' Blood-Nalini Singh is definitely in my top 5 fave authors! I hope you really like that, too!

Dark Goldwas the first Christine Feehan, first Carpathian series novel I read. I quite enjoyed that which just hooked me in deeper into reading more and more PNR/UF....

Fun reads for both of you!

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

Oh, Jen & Diane~ That's right, any book on the shelf counts. Did you find it?

[Jen (jlkish)]

It took a while, but yes, the one I was thinking of is there...

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Jen (jlkish) wrote: "It took a while, but yes, the one I was thinking of is there...

"

Yeah, I wish you could search the shelves, but if there is a way to do it, I'm missing it.

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

I had a book I wanted to read...and searched for what shelves it was listed on! So, an October read, plus BINGO...hmmm....it fits 6 challenges and this! YEAH!!!!!

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

OK...today was a national holiday...and son's baseball practice ran ONE HOUR over...while I was waiting in the car...and I'm justifying my reading one full book today to people who will probably understand my addiction!

10/11/10 *****
I started reading Jeaniene Frost this year, after hearing so much about Cat and Bones (especially Bones!), and just had to give it a try. Good choice! I love this series, and the spin-offs are just great too. I like this one better than because of Kira just handled everything! No whinging, whining whatever, just rolling with the punches, and looking at things clearly. I did skip the preview of the next book tucked in at the end...I already ordered it, and the preview is like looking at your a mouth-watering luscious treat locked into an unbreakable steel box!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! Love the review! :) And Kira is one of my favorite heroines.

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

Nothing brilliant, but I really loved the book!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:)

[Shannon]

Hi Guys - Sorry I'm late!

I'll be reading Eternal Kiss of Darkness as well....I love Bones and Kat and the Gang!

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

Hi Shannon! Glad to see you here! Nice choice!!!

And hey, nudge, nudge... we're still looking for a team name...HELP!!!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Welcome to the challenge, Shannon! Great book choice!

[Miss]

Great review Judithe! I am almost finished with my book too, Dark Gold, so i will post my review tomorrow. What happens if we all finish early?
Also, great to have you here Shannon!

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

I think we'll just have to find something else to read (Knock down some challenges!) while we wait for Shelf #2...:D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

FYI TO ALL PLAYERS:
I created a spreadsheet to help me keep track of player & team stats throughout the challenge. You are welcome to view it HERE . Edits are not allowed, please do not make any changes to the spreadsheet. If any information is incorrect, please let me know. Thanks!

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

I took a peek at the spreadsheet, Steph, quite nice!

My beloved team members...while peeking at that, I also realized that, although we are the 1st team, we are the ONLY team that hasn't yet decided a name!

*Bingolicious Bookworm Babes (of Bcubed --how do we make the cube mark again?)
*Onederful (Onederous?) Women of Bingo-world
*MSDoubleJ
*Fangtastic Readers
*write in another idea

Nixed ones with 5 as T5 is the Furious Five
T4 is Bingo Bookworms, T3 is One Fang Too Many, and T2 is The G.L.O.B.s (check it out on their thread...LOL!)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Thanks :)
Good luck with the name game.

[Shannon]

Hi :)

My Review for space G4 Eternal Kiss of Darkness

I have become a huge fan of the Night Huntress Series following Cat & Bones, however am equally entranced by the spin off series that this book has come from.

This 'episode' follows Mencheres & Kira; their fortuitous meeting culminating in his battle with his lifelong adversary all while falling head over heels in love.

I never really considered Mencheres to have anything compelling as a lead character - however this book was another testament to Jeaniene Frost's skill!
Can't wait for more - maybe Vlad or Tate next....



For my Free Space book - I'll start reading Clockwork Angel tomorrow.

And as for the name....I think all the suggestions are pretty cool - but am a little partial to Bcubed.

Have fun!

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

I definitely agree with you...I'm hoping for Vlad's story next though...

I've been wanting to read that too, but haven't ordered it yet...Look forward to hearing what you have to say about it! I need to poke around and see if something on my "Read-this-month" list will fit there....

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

Bookworms...or "book-a-holics" =

One that experiences a feeling of panic when one book is finished, and there are several just waiting to be opened and you frantically shift through them telling yourself that you'll read them ALL soon, so just go ahead and pick ONE NOW! The book that is finally chosen then does not leave your side...as you do household chores, potty breaks, errands to the store (really, are you going to be reading it in the supermarket check-out line? Please, just leave it in the car...hahahaha...not happening!) and work...umm...no, this is just some side research for a little project of mine...

Maybe I got a little carried away there...maybe!

Looking forward to more name preferences!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Great review, Shannon. Don't forget to include date read and a 1-5 star rating for all books as well.

PS: check out the R&R thread for Night Huntress for news on both series. :D
