Thanks Christina, I certainly remember our heated discussion on stealing his name tag. ROFLMAO
He looks so young & cute to have a kid graduate from infantry school.
I bet the sleeves down thing is in response to skin cancer. My hubby (works in the electrical transmission field) has to have long sleeves as well, and he's only out in the sun about half the time, the rest he is in his workshop/office.
Yeah, that is one of the reasons they gave, Sandra. We joke about other potential reasons though.
Cool share! Thanks, Christina!
Shelf day!!!! Let the chanting begin.... I know it's a little early but I'm between books...shelf! shelf! Shelf! Shelf! Shelf! SHelf! SHelf! SHElf! SHElf! SHElf! SHELf! SHELf! SHELF! SHELF!
I'm in between books too, Lis so I'll help with the chanting!SHELF! SHELF!!
Yay DG, I'm not alone!shelf! shelf! Shelf! Shelf! Shelf! SHelf! SHelf! SHElf! SHElf! SHElf! SHELf! SHELf! SHELF! SHELF!

Sure! You can change your mind about a book, or if you start a book and realize that it's not your cuppa -- realize pages are missing....

You're welcome. :)
Awwwww. I've been out selling Girl Scout Cookies all morning I was hoping the shelf would be up when I got home so I could grab a new book and just sit.
He did look too young to have a son that old. Thanks for sharing.Back to pacing.... And chanting...
shelf! shelf! Shelf! Shelf! Shelf! SHelf! SHelf! SHElf! SHElf! SHElf! SHELf! SHELf! SHELF! SHELF!
Shelf, shelf!Oh, I'm waiting with baited breath to know what book to start! I haven't read anything all day.
Well, that's no strictly true. I went to bed at 1am finishing my audiobook...but haven't read anything since. ;p
I know I've got an audio going too.. It's the only way the house gets cleaned. Just finished a re- listen of Pale Demon and started A Perfect Blood. But ready for my next book book...shelf! shelf! Shelf! Shelf! Shelf! SHelf! SHelf! SHElf! SHElf! SHElf! SHELf! SHELf! SHELF! SHELF!
LOL nice to know I am not the only one who has "house cleaning" books.
I feel pathetic sitting here at work working on paperwork and opening up/stalking this thread any time somebody makes a comment.
Oh drat! I'll have to leave in 5 mins or so. Hubby is looking daggers at me because I've been in the computer for a long time instead of cuddling with him!
LOL I know that feeling!
*Lethal snorts* Say what? Doesn't your dear hubby understand the importance of stalking GR? Doesn't he realize that the world is gonna freaking end if his wonderful wife does not refresh the main page repeatedly to see if the new shelf has been announced? UGH, MEN.
Exactly, LL! MEN!But I just sent him to cook something for me so I have a few more minutes. :p
My family is now officially fed... We still have snow and more coming, so no desire to leave the house all weekend... So I HAVE to stalk GRs.... I need my book fix!
I am sitting here hoping my husband doesn't tell me it's time to leave - I dont' want to miss the shelf posting! Truly pathetic. At least "Iron Man" is on TV for distraction.

Hehehe. You devious woman, you!
I am so happy I have no man. If I had a man right now, I'd also have a cell in the state penitentiary. Ain't no man gonna tell me I can't stalk GR everyday all day constantly without cease!
G'mornin'! Enjoyed sleeping in this morning and popped over to see if Steph was up yet or not...ROFL! Starts tossing chocolate to the pacers... I'm sure she'll get here soon, too!
Ya'll are a RIOT! I love our members and their shared love of BSB. Really makes me :DPS: Stamps to follow ...
Our next shelf announcement is up ~ 'demons'
Happy Reading, Everyone! :)

Since that was the movie my hubbie was watching was AVIATOR while I stalked GRs today. And I had to google him.
Drat I have to head back out. Is it better to know what I need to read and not be reading or to not to know at all?
Yay yay yay. Happy dance... Off to share with my DD peeps.
Happy Reading, Everyone!Hope everyone is enjoying the game!

Thanks to you for all your hard work Steph and mod-ladies!!!!! I was just looking today at all the Stamp Requests and thinking about how much time must be spent verifying.
Keep up the good work, we appreciate you :)
;) Thanks Leah
Thanks for the remind Steph. It seem like a very busy round :D
Good reading everyone!
Good reading everyone!
Steph, Sandra, Judithe:I have a book - Gardens of the Moon that is shelved 1 time under demon (Link Here). When I click on demon, it takes me to the demons shelf. I know we are supposed to read books only with the exact shelf name but could I use this book for the demons shelf?
I have a similar problem. I read
and the book is about a half demon woman. But no one's shelved it as a demon book, except me. Would it work for the demon shelf?
I think it has to be a separate shelf named demons. Right now, it's a mix in yours right? Anyway, I'm not sure if you shelving will count.. Have to await judgement on that.
Hi Vi & Midu, the ruling is it must be on the Demons shelf. Demon or any other variation isn't allowed under the rules of the game.
This is the #1 rule of the game and has never been broken in any round.
Sorry, please pick another book ;)
Ditto that. Sorry, ladies!
Thanks, Sandra and Judithe!! I knew it was a loooong shot.
Sorry, ladies. As the other mods have stated, the book must be on the shelf linked to each week in order to count for the shelf read. I know it's frustrating sometimes. Basically:
✔ If a book is on a shelf, but doesn't belong (ie: Shelf is 'vampires', but a book there doesn't have vampires in it) the book IS acceptable b/c it's on the shelf.
✘ Conversely, if a book does belong, but isn't there (ie: Shelf is 'ghosts', book is ALL about ghosts, but no one has tagged it as such) it ISN'T acceptable b/c it's not on the shelf.
Don't forget, there are 'personal shelves' this round, so maybe you can use that book for 'favorite supe' instead (assuming it's called)? Just a thought.
Thanks for understanding and sticking to this primary rule. :)
thank you for clearing that up, ladies!
Almost 2a and can't put my book down, so I thought I'd treat everyone to an early shelf announcement (in case I sleep late). Hope everyone has a great weekend! Our next shelf announcement is up ~ 'paranormal-romance'
Happy Reading, Everyone! :)
Happy reading, Steph! And THANKS!
Sweet Already a new one. No need to stalk to thread all day :)
Thanks, Steph and a good read! I'm off to bed happy :)

LOL! Yeah, sometimes (ha! Lotta times) the military makes decisions like that just don't make a lick'a sense. The USMC passed a rule last year that all Marines will wear sleeves down, no matter time of year or climate in their region, all year when in cammies. It makes no sense and doesn't look as good as sleeves up, IMO. Hubby & I wonder if this one passed b/c someone high up was tired of rolling their sleeves. LOL!
