Hi, Sixers! I'm off for the night. Gotta get these midterms done. I am looking forward to chatting with everyone soon though and looking forward the game.I'll try to think of some fun team names, ya'll be thinking on that and who is up for team captain. I'd prefer it be someone other than myself b/c Uni sucks time away from GR.
Yay! I'm excited to get this party started! Hope ya'll have a great weekend! I'll be posting the first shelf announcement on Sunday (JST - Japan Standard Time, which is 14hrs ahead of EST in the US, if that helps)
Yay! I'm so excited!!I've never played the game so I'm not sure I feel up to being captain. We can leave it to Josie, Dana or Juana! :)
Hi, DG! Yeah, hopefully Josie or Dana (hint, hint) will take the torch and lead us to victory! LOL! Nah, if only it were that easy. It's all up to the roll of the dice, or rather (what we lovingly call) Mr. Randomizer and which shelves pop up each week. I'm sure it'll be fun though, always is. :DSo, team names .... any thoughts? Here are some not-so-creative ones - my brain is fried at the moment. I'll try to think of more as soon as my midterms are done.
▪ The Sexy Sixers
▪ Six Pack
▪ Shameless Six (off DG's call sign)
▪ Double D's (trying to think of something with our initials and that's all I came up with - lame LOL!)
▪ Romance Ravens (not sure what everyone's favorite genre is...)
▪ Badass Book Babes
Yeah, so, like I said ... brain mush :D
PS: I'd love to know more about you lovelies. Here's a bit about me:
I'm a super proud USMC wife; unemployed/full-time Uni student; no kids, two fat & happy cats; live in Oki, Japan; love to read, watch movies, sight-see and travel; have a teeny tiny (haha) OCDemon; and I LOVE meetin' new people who share my love of books.
I'm gonna PM Dana, Josie & Juana with a link to our team thread. Hopefully they'll join us soon. :D
Some more team name ideas (although, I still cannot find my creativity cap... drat!)
SIX-related
Sixpence None the Richer (band)
Eve6 (band)
Six Degrees of Books (instead of K. Bacon)
The Sixers (Terra Nova TV show reference)
Grp Member Initials
Book DJs (our initials are DDJJS)
Book-related
Reading Between the Wines
Between (or Under) the Covers
Lit Chicks
Ravenous Readers
Ok, back to school for me. Chat more later ... when I'm not talking to myself. LOL! ;)
Hi guys! Looking forward to playing the game with you all :)Here's a bit about me. I live in Herts, England, I'm a full time student (that has realised half way through that I've chosen the wrong course lol) so I spend half the time at home and the other half in the Midlands. Eerrmm, I don't know what else to say really so onto team names!
Some really good ones, Steph!! I'll try to add some but mine will no doubt be rubbish :P
Sixth sense
VI
Hexa (is Greek for six) - I don't really know how that's relevant, maybe if it was like Hexabook
Six: how to read everything - lol, jk I had to add it in there, great program ;)
...
Okay that's all I've got for the moment.
I like the names specially from your first group, Steph!So...a little bit about me.
I'm Dominican by birth but live in NYC. I've been married for over 10 years (no kids either.) I work full time in Marketing and my hobbies are pretty much reading and spending time with Hubby (we're very close). I also looooove to travel and I really wish I could live in either London or Barcelona, even if it's for a few months!
I read pretty much every genre although my favorite is still romance. :)
hey guys. Sorry guys I don't want to be captain. This is the first time I've done BINGO so I'm not sure that would be a good idea.A little about myself hmmm. I love to read if I'm not working. I graduated in the year 2010 and want to go back to school. I love to watch movies; I'm looking forward to watching the Woman in Black with Daniel Raddcliff ( don't know if that is two D's or two F's). I live in Kansas in the United States; the town is small but it's ok. I love going to the library. I am 20 years old and am going to be 21 in April. I don't have any pets. Thats pretty much it, so nice to meet you all.
Steph I like the choices on the first list but I can't make up my mind on which one I'd Choose.
Welcome Juana!OK, of the group names I like these:
▪ The Sexy Sixers
▪ Shameless Six(ers)
▪ Badass Book Babes
▪ Ravenous Readers
Good morning, ladies! Just a heads up for ya, Steph has posted the first shelf on the shelf announcements thread~pop over to get the direct link to "supernatural"! Happy reading!
Here are all the books I'm considering for the shelf:A Discovery of Witches
The Graveyard Book
You Had Me At Halo
The Night Circus
Angelfall
Urban Shaman
Storm Front
They also fit a challenge I'm doing on another group. :)
Oh and here are some ideas for the group names:Twisted Sixes
The Sexed Generation
Hello-OOOOOO ladies!Hooray for another round of BSB! It felt like Christmas...like it would never come. :) I am psyched to be playing with you fab chicas and we are going to dominate this game!
What is that fuzzy feeling enveloping you right now? Why that is the sensation of approaching VICTORY!!! hehe
BTW, I love the creative name suggestions. Favorites so far are:
Reading Between the Wines (that is just funny)
Twisted Sixes (all nods to rock bands...ROCK!)
Book DJs (this one is super creative and I love it!)
Six Degrees of Books (or could this be Six Degrees of Goodreads since that is what brings us all together?) They are all fun regardless. ;)
I would be willing to pull a Captain Jack for the team if you guys would like. Josie, would you rather? Totally cool if so. If not, I'm game. :)
I've sent a friend invite to anyone who wasn't already stuck with me beforehand. hehe
I'm going to sleep on my book choice tonight. I'll post my supernatural read tomorrow. This is going to be so awesome. WHOOOT!
Later!
Ha. Don't get too excited too soon, Dana!! Love some of those names!!
LOL! Great name ideas, ladies! Love them all actually, so I'm cool w/whichever the team favors. Also, thanks to Josie or Dana for captain'in up for us! ;) Sorry, but I know I'd suck at it this round if I volunteered. Way too scatterbrained at the moment.For this shelf I'll probably read either: Silver-Tongued Devil or Fate's Edge; I'm leaning towards the first.
I'll probably pick my free space book here soon as well. I like to get that outta the way early, even though there is no rush for it.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! :D
LOL, Dana! Love the cheerleading.Its 4:30am now in NY. Don't know what I'm doing up! Well I do know. I've been trying to decide what to read for this. I really want to read Angelfall but now I realize is one the few (maybe the only one?) angels books I have so I may need to leave it for the angel shelf.
Sigh...
Well now that I checked, 2 books from my TBR are also on the angel shelf so I'm good to start Angelfall.
Wait, the game has started? Lol, I had no idea, for some reason I thought it was next week. Well this has made my morning :)Oh there's so many good names to choose from! I like The Sexy Sixers and Book DJs but I'm happy with anything.
Erm, so now the game has started, I'll pick some books (that will no doubt change):
Supernatural - Immortal Beloved/The Rest Falls Away
Free space - Blaze of Memory
Dana, I'm honestly fine either way. If you want to grab the captain chair, go get it! If not, then that's ok too :)
I sent friend requests to the rest of you. I'm glad I'm in a group with people I hadn't 'met' before...:)Anyhow, I started Angelfall so far so good but I have a bit of 'The Hunger Games' vibe.

Disney-levels of enthusiasm is part of my epic plan Judithe!
** Psssst, guys...(whispering REALLY loudly) I think Judithe is trying to harsh my groove and throw us off track. You gotta watch out for that Judithe...she's tricky! **
For 'supernatural' I think I am going to go with 
This series has been great and I have been hesitant to read this since I don't see that she is publishing another Mercy book this year. *sniff* I don't want it to end!
I'm going to wait on 'Free Space' read. I have tons of options and I'm going to make sure I can overlap my FS choice with another challenge.
Since Josie and I both seem fine with anything, I am going to step in and go for it. (Hope that is still OK.) I would love to play captain! I'll get the list together to get us started...yeah BSB. :)

*hugs* back atcha Oh Captain, my Captain!
I also liked Twisted Sixes. :)My favorite was probably Sexy Sixers until I started thinking that it's such a good name that it's probably been used in other BSBs.

Sexy SixersWell Ladies I've got a couple of choices: Dark Lover by J.R.Ward, Lover Eternal by J.R.Ward, and Lover Awakened by J.R.Ward, and No Rest for the Wicked by Kresley Cole.
OR
OR
OR
I Guess you guys know my favorite shelf: VAMPIRES.
I've made my decision; I will go with: No Rest for the wicked by Kresley Cole.
Hey, ladies! Sorry you didn't get the word, Josie. Glad ya made it. :)I'm reading:
; almost 40% done. Not sure what I'll read for my FS book, but I'll let ya know once I've started one.Thanks for steerin' us (to a hopeful win), Dana. Good team names, ladies. My faves are: Sexy Sixers and Twisted Sixes, I like them all actually. I'm cool with majority rulin', whatever ya'll decide.
Watching the Super Bowl, but we don't get the commercials. Amy, on another team, mentioned Audi's vamp commercial, so I had to find it online and check it out. Here's a YT link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw9ZeX... LOL!
Thanks Steph, that was terrific!!!!
Go G-Men! Go G-Men! Go G-Men!!!As you can imagine, I read nothing yesterday after 2pm. :)
They were tons of cute ads in the Super Bowl but I can't say I was crazy about any of them. And so many dogs!!!My favorite is probably the M&M one.
I also liked the nod to Ferris Bueller but I had seen that one (and the vampire one) the previous week because the companies released them earlier.
I loved the Ferris Bueller one, but I had not seen it yet.
He is wearing so much make-up in that commercial!
LOL, he is! Specially the part where he has the towel wrapped on his head.
Yuck. That is the scene I am thinking of.
Somebody in the production should have noticed that he looked like a plastic doll there (or an old lady). There are other close ups where he doesn't look that bad.
I loved the Ferris commercial! Although I do agree on the make-up thing. The guy is almost 50, he is supposed to have a few wrinkles, right?
My thought too, it is acceptable for a 50 year old man to have wrinkles!
OK, so the name sitch is this:Twisted Sixes
Book DJs
Sexy Sixers
These all received nods from more that one person. If you guys are good with it, lets take a 'vote' so we can make it final. Sound good?
