[Heather ~ Marceline]

Hi everybody! I'm so excited to play with you all! Where does everybody live? I' m outside Seattle, in Washington state.

[Kate]

Hi guys :-)

I'm from Queensland, Australia.
And this is my first bookshelf bingo.
I'm excited and a little nervous.

How are you Heather? :-)

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Hey, Heather! Ready to win another round? ;-)
I'm in Kentucky, south of Louisville.

[Heather ~ Marceline]

I'm great thanks! That's exciting that it's your first time playing . This is my third time to play and I can' t wait to start!

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

How are you, Heathet?"

Welcome, Kate! Don't be nervous! ;-) Game's pretty easy: Shelf announcement --> pick book --> read --> review. ;-)

We're here to help. :D

[Heather ~ Marceline]

Hey Christina! I sure am, go team 4! Hopefully, the four of you are whizzes at being creative with names. That is not my strongpoint :)

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

My first thoughts: 4X4 or R4-T4. Or May the FOUR Be With You.

[Heather ~ Marceline]

@Christina... I'm hoping this brings us luck being on the same team again. Judithe and I were in the same winning team rounds 2 and 3 so I will keep my fingers crossed.

So, you're a lucky charm! Oh, I just thought of another name...Four Leaf Clover.

[Heather ~ Marceline]

I love all the ideas Christina, esp four leaf clover and may the fourth be with you. My husband and son love Star Wars!

Thanks! :D Fan of Star Wars myself.

You know, it is weird to be on a team without one of the Mods. I was on with LL for R2.

With that in mind, I'm volunteering for team captain. Unless, you really, REALLY want it. ;-)

Of course, if any of the new gals want the job...no problem. :D

[Heather ~ Marceline]

I'm good with that, with little kids and sports starting up soon I never know what my free time will be like and I hate posting, especially bookcovers, from my droid. You might claim a couple place makers on this first page for updates.

Yes, I should have said that as well, sorry! I just get lazy posting from my phone, much prefer typing on the keyboard at home on :D I Thank goodness its Friday!

[Leah]

Hey everyone!!
I'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and this is my first time playing bingo (don't worry Kate, you're not alone!!).

Love the teams names suggested so far, I'm good with either Four Leaf Clover or May the Fourth be with You. Christina as Captain sounds great.

TGIF!! I'm at work right now (and posting, bad me!) but only a few hours until I get to go home, thank goodness. This week has seemed so long, and I think a large part of that is due to waiting for teams to be announced and waiting for Sunday's book announcement!!

[Heather ~ Marceline]

Hi Leah, I'm with you I can't wait for the shelf to be called. For those of us in the US time zones it usually ends up being sometime Saturday that the shelf is called. I'm going to the movies tomorrow night so I hope it gets called before then.

[Kate]

I'm good with Christina for team captain too.


I love the team names. Either one is fine with me. I'm also a Star Wars fan!

=====================================
I'm leaning toward the Four Leaf Clover (or Clovers) myself -- it brings to mind St Patrick's day, spring, and good luck. :)

I wanted to share with my personal bingo card. ;-)

Then I'm going to find our last team mate.

[Leah]

Love the personal bingo card!!!!!

I notice that you (like me) are also having not too many ideas for the 'angels' square. I've already read and I'm a little scared nothing will live up to N. Singh's angel-filled world...

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Blueyes -- Leah -- wrote: "Love the personal bingo card!!!!!

Thanks! Oh, I have other books that are probably tagged "angels", but I only listed AB because it's the only book I'll read if that shelf is called.

The good news is, if the 2nd book (or later) in the series was also tagged, you can read that one. It's not necessary (unless otherwise noted) for it to be the 1st in the series. If you're all caught up and don't have any other obvious angel books in your TBR ...some demon books are also tagged "angels" because the world building has them being fallen angels -- vampires too for that matter, could be fallen angels.

[AmandaG]

So, so sorry guys about not posting sooner! I had a half day at work today and have been running around like crazy getting ready for super bowl so I didn't have a chance to check GR today. Thanks Christina for sending me a PM. Just checked here yesterday as I am eagerly awaiting for the first shelf to be announced so I feel bad about missing the post today. I even went to library today and picked up three books that could cover a variety of options to start right away. Christina you are more than welcome to the captaincy (is that a word?) I like the names that have come up so far too.

[Leah]

Christina -- Good point about the demon books, I'll have to keep an eye out. I have read the whole Guild Hunter series so no luck there. No reason to worry I suppose though being that it could be weeks before the angels shelf is picked!

Good to see you here Amanda! Where are you from?

[AmandaG]

I live in central TX! This is my second bingo round although I haven't played since the first round.

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Welcome, Amanda! :D

Leah -- Oh, now you've gone and done it! ;-) Cross your fingers and hope Mr. Randomizer doesn't spit out "angels" first. :D

=========================

Captain - Now that it's official, I'll convert msg #18 into the master tracking post for our progress.

Free Space -- There's no rush, but if you know what you're planning to read for the Free Space, let me know. Everyone clear on where to go to find the eligible books?

Team Name -- it sounds like we're The Four Leaf Clovers. I just remembered -- and confirmed -- that the "May the 4th..." name was used during Round 2. We should be unique... and four-leaf clovers are unique. :D Any objections to making it official?? Or something more brilliant?? :-)

I'm off to bed, now.

[AmandaG]

I wouldnt want an already used name. Way to check!

[Leah]

I love the Four Leaf Clovers! Maybe we will be a lucky and not have the angels shelf first?? ;-)

I've already picked my Free Space book! No pressure for anyone else though. I'm going to read , which is SOS' February BOM. I've been wanting to read it for a while now, so this worked out nicely for me. Probably will start it sometime next week depending on what book I read for this week's shelf.

Are we allowed to read the same books? If someone else wants to read Blood Rights, would they be able to? Just curious.

[Heather ~ Marceline]

Blueyes -- Leah -- wrote: "Are we allowed to read the same books? If someone else wants to read Blood Rights, would they be able to? Just curious. ..."

Leah, yes, multiple players can read the same book if we want :)

[Kate]

I love your personal bingo card!

Ive been wanting to read for a while but have been putting it off. I have a copy sitting on my desk all ready and waiting.

Four leaf clovers is a great name :-)
We'll have the luck of the Irish on our side.

Four ..."

Just a warning: if you are anything like me, after you read Angels Blood you will find yourself wondering "If I were an angel, what color would my wings be?" and other ridiculous daydream topics.

[Kate]

I'll keep that in mind, Leah :-P

And I apologise for my excessive smileys. I'm just a fairly smiley kind of person.

[AmandaG]

For my Free Space read I'm going with option #3:
(3) A book off of the group's bookshelf: Any shelf or tag; No date restriction - books added at anytime may be chosen

My book will be Lothaire! Love the IAD series.

(currently on pg. 3 of shelf)

Off to make an Excel sheet of my potential bingo reading options...

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Team Name -- Wow! :D I was so surprised to see that someone (Steph?) had already updated our thread name. Thank you!

I've updated msg 18 for quick reference. Let me know if I missed anything: Team's Progress Update

Kate wrote: "I love your personal bingo card!"

Thanks! :) It's now the team's card as well. I won't "stamp" the square until all of us have completed our books.

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Yay! Steph posted the first Shelf -- it's in the Shelf Announcement thread - she's not posting them in the team threads this round.

Okay, I'm back from the movies and we have a shelf!! Yeah! I am going to read .

[Kate]

For supernatural I'm going to read


And for my free space I'm going with option(3) A book off of the group's bookshelf: Any shelf or tag; No date restriction - books added at anytime may be chosen

My book will be from the group's fae shelf.

[Leah]

Kate wrote: "My book will be from the group's fae shelf."

I just read that last week, I liked it a lot so hopefully you do too!! Nothing like a some hot dragon lovin'.

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

Ditto that!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

One of my favs, too!

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Heather wrote: "Okay, I'm back from the movies and we have a shelf!! Yeah! I am going to read ."

What did you see?

"Kate wrote: "My book will be from the group's fae shelf."..."

Also a favorite. :) I hope you enjoy it!

The community playhouse by me is presenting "Greater Tuna". I have season tickets, so that's where I'll be this afternoon. Not really a sports fan, so I'm not watching the game, but I'll probably look at the commercials online.

Enjoy your books, ladies!

[Heather ~ Marceline]

Babbling AKA Christina wrote: "What did you see?..."

We saw The Descendants, it was good, just really sad. I actually got to see two movies this week, which usually never happens. I saw One for the Money earlier this week which was okay, you just can't be a picky moviegoer to enjoy that one :)
