Hi Jackie - me too!!! This looks like a lot of fun -

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

We need to think of a really cool name for our group..anyone have any ideas?

[Jackie M]

I can't think of one right now. Hopefully some more of our team will show up and have a cool name.

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

BINGO has officially begun!

Just a heads up as the first shelf has been posted! The shelf is listed in the shelf announcements link and it's vampire-romance. Happy reading!

[Shelleyrae]

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

[Shelleyrae]

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

I love the badge - that is awesome looking

[Jackie M]

Love the badge. I'm off to look at the shelves be back soon.

[Jackie M]

I am going to go with High Stakes.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Furious Five - we need to choose a team captain....how do we want to do this?

[Shelleyrae]

Lol - I nominate you :)

[Jackie M]

I'll second that.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Great badge, Shelleyrae.

Just a note, in case you were unsure, you can pick any book off of any page on that shelf. :)

[Shelleyrae]

Thanks Steph :) I started Dark Lover last night :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Love the badge Shelleyrae!!!!

[AmandaG]

Holy crap thank goodness I checked in today. Things have been busy around here and I forgot this was starting today. I like the Furious Five and the badge is awesome!

[AmandaG]

I'll start with Once Bitten Twice Shy

[Shelleyrae]

Hi Amanda :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Welcome to the game, Amanda! :)

[Jackie M]

Hi Amanda.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Hi Amanda - welcome!!!

[AmandaG]

Hello fellow Furious 5'ers! I'm already changing my book. I will do Crave instead since I started it last night.

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

I just got my copy...looking forward to your review!

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Thanks for the noms ladies - has anyone heard from Mariana? She is the last of our group that hasnt checked in...

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

This is what I have for everyone so far unless you changed a book -

Jackie M: High Stakes
Shellyrae: Dark Lover
Amanda G: Crave
Sallie: Kiss of Midnight
Mariana: ?

I pm'ed Steph to let her know that Mariana had not checked in so I have asked her to send a message to her - hopefully she will stop in & say hello & let us know what she is reading.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi, Furious Five, I sent an email to Marianna yesterday late afternoon. Hopefully she'll pop in soon. :)

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Thanks Steph - we look forward to hearing from her soon

[Jackie M]

I am starting High Stakes now that I have finished the book I was reading.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

@Sallie, welcome. Me too. :)

@JackieM, hope you enjoy it. I liked that one a lot, but for some reason haven't gotten to the rest of the series yet. I remember it being a funny, quick read.

[Shelleyrae]

Finished mine - will post review now

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

gracious Shellyrae - cant wait to see what you thought...

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Seeing as how Shellyrae has completed her book - I am off to start mine....

[Shelleyrae]

Not sure where we post our review links but here is mine

Dark Lover - Read 12th Oct - 3 stars

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Ratings and reviews can be posted on your team thread. That'll make it easiest for me to track who has/hasn't finished reading for each shelf. Thanks. :)

[Shelleyrae]

Posted on my blog too :) http://bookdout.wordpress.com/2010/10...

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:) Thanks, Shelleyrae.

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!

[Shelleyrae]

Cool,

Furious Five - what are we going to choose for the Free Square? Any preferences?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Everyone in each team can choose differently. You don't all have to read the same book for free space credit. The book just has to come from one of the three options to qualify. But, you are certainly welcome to choose/read as a group, if you'd rather. Up to ya'll. :)

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Does everyone want to read the same book for the FREE SPACE or do you want to choose your book independently? Let me know - either would work for me....

[AmandaG]

I vote to choose independently, but if I'm willing to do a group read if everyone else wants to. What do you want to do Sallie?

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

I say we pick independently....any other thoughts on this?

[Jackie M]

I finished my book and here is my review.
Read October 13,2010 3 stars

I really liked this book because it was fast paced and made me laugh out loud.
Alexis is a feisty woman who gets and does what she wants.
Ethan is vampire who is almost a thousand years old and has never fallen in love or met the "one" for him.
This is a fast paced love story that has the couple in love and wed in a matter of weeks. Believable? No... but hey it's a vampire romance book for crying out loud.
I really liked the book and will continue on with the series.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Great review, JackieM! Don't forget to also include date read and a 1-5 star rating with your reviews. Thanks. :)
