[★Meghan★]

I am only getting ready to start my Demon book so I am ready for a shelf. Oh yes that is me! Always a shelf behind. Dollar short kinda gal :)

[AH]

My current book just isn't doing it for me. Shelf!

[Valerie]

Sheeeeeelf?

[Juana "Darkness"]

Uhhh I have to go to work today so I will probably see the new shelf at 11:00pm tonight. :) so exited though can't wait though.

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

[Jodie]

Checking in for our new shelf...desperate for some inspiration!

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

Shelf...AAAAAaaaaaarrrrggghhhhHHHHHH!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Did someone say, Shelf?


It's Here ~ 'urban-fantasy'
Happy Reading, Everyone! :)

[Leah]

Woooooo hooooo!! Thanks Steph!

I only needed to look at the first page to find a book that's on my TBR, too!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Same here, Deborah. The first couple of pages are full of either my ratings or books I don't want to read (yet or ever). So, I'm still deciding.

Hope everyone finds a great UF to read. Are you guys choosing to start a new series or catch-up on one you're already reading? If I could decide which I'd rather do, I think my choice would be a lot easier. :)

[Leah]

I'm catching up! for me :-)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I've got several catch-ups TBR:
among many, (too) many others

But, some cool-sounding newbies TBR also:
among many, (too) many others

I'm leaning towards Kindling the Moon, which I see is your choice also (well, same series). It's one that others have raved about and I've continued to bump up on my TBR list. So many books ...... *sigh* <--- good (love books) and bad (never enough time) sigh ;)

[Susan (susayq ~)]

I'm reading for this shelf. I started this series 2 shelves ago and am loving it!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yay! Enjoy, Susan. That's such a fun series, especially in the beginning.

[Regina]

That is quite a selectin there Steph!!

I chose

[D.G.]

My pick wasn't very good: But to be fair, it was probably more PNR than UF but still some people had it as UF.

[Josie]

I loved that one Regina! The next one, I think, is out tomorrow but no sign of it on Amazon yet :'(

I've been stalking this release as well :(

[Josie]

Glad I'm not the only one :P
It says on her blog, you can get it at All Romance Ebooks and Mundania Press but it looks like it's just for the US :'(
Hopefully Amazon won't be "pending" for long.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Are you sure Josie?, it looks OK to buy for me in Aus.

[Josie]

It's there now! :D

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

;)

[D.G.]

Shelf! Shelf!

ETA: Hmmm...I think it's a bit early for that, LOL!

[Leah]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllff!!

[Mary X]

I'm guessing since there's potential bingos with the next shelf call she'll make us wait.

[Regina]

Shelf shelf shelf shelf shelf shelf!! :D

Oh no, there are potential bingos?!! :(

[Emily]

Shelf pls... need to go to library.

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

*whoooooooosh* (holds breath) shelf? (holding breath now that the next stamp could mean bingo for several teams)

[AH]

Shelf!

[Jackie M]

Shelf!!!..please

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Not just shelf.

Male Lead Shelf... Male Lead Shelf.... Male Lead Shelf...

[★Meghan★]

All right I am wishing for the following shelves to NOT be called:
Kick-ass-heroine
Male-lead
Reader's choice
Dragons
New-series

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

Dawn (Kat N Hat) wrote: "Not just shelf.

Lol, for all of us on team 16. We are also pulling for it not to be kickass heroine or dragons. (if male lead in a dead heat with team 17—I stocked up on caffeine and chocolate and will be looking at page numbers when picking!).

MALE LEAD SHELF! MALE LEAD SHELF! MALE LEAD SHELF!

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

If I remember correctly we had the worst card for getting stamps to line up until last couple shelves called(team 11 nearly as bad and team 17 almost immediately had two 3-in-a-rows with every call there for a while giving most teams three in a row while we still had yet to get two bloody stamps lining up in any direction. Whine, whine, moan, whine…if it were not for discovering some really good reads I would have stressed myself "halfway to the grave")

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

..."

I had a small panic attack I pulled down the book I planned to read if it is male lead, it was 700 pages! Had to find a back up quick.

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

Yeah, do not want anything also on any shelf with a name starting with "epic"—once upon a time books over 600 pages were published in smaller installments but lately have gotten some 1,000 page monstrosities.

[D.G.]

I've read too many of the books in the male lead shelf...and some of the ones I haven't read from my TBR are really long!

Anyways, I don't know why I get the impression we won't get the winning shelf this week. I'm thinking that next week will be the one, when I'm on vacation and don't know how I'll get to read the book (going to Portugal and then Ireland.)

I'm pretty sure if you download books to ereader you can read even in non-compatible countries (just may hit trouble with wifi or wireless services for new books). I get a lot of reading done in airport security lines, gates and on plane. And my lovely kindle has done well North America and most European cities (have not been everywhere but there's a coverage map at amazon site).

I'm on vacation, too.

[Lis]

I vote for "paranormal romance" shelf... No one bingos and my team can get our first 4 in a row.

Shelf! Shelf! Paranormal romance shelf!!

[Paris]

I'm crossing my fingers for Vampires. That shelf would be a good one for team 2. But as long as it's none of the shelf that were listed earlier, then I'm good with that. lol

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

Ack! I'm going to stop checking for 15 minutes and visIt some of those sites showing the funky text messages autocorrects do, cracked or play with pinterest craft pins—those suck up time.

[D.G.]

I'm taking my Kindle, my iPad AND my iPod. But vacations with my husband tend to be pretty intense - walking everywhere during the day and then going out at night. I highly doubt I'll have time to read. But I'll try!

Then I hope you do not find time to read! (I once spent 48 hours trapped in an airport and was so glad, pre-ereader days and pre- airport-newsstands-all over-with-good-hours, I did decide to weigh down the carryons with library binding books and smaller harlequins)

Nowadays it takes longer to charge all devices and make sure relevant cords and adaptors get packed than any other packing tasks....I make sure to line checked luggage with bubble wrap and add scissors (for price tags and blister packs of what I buy on vacation), packing tape, extra gallon sized baggies, twist ties, rubber bands,...in case I want to ship stuff back. Now it is best with tsa to Baggie individually any cords, belts, headbands or anything that could make a snarled mess on their scanners (rubber banded or twist tied for good measure). And beware of bath salts or salt products even in checked bags. Trips some stuff n some countriies' checkpoints. photo luggage tags even if you just laminate a homemade one or plink on some photo stickers help with luggage. And good, electronic microfiber cloths for cleaning device screen and every imaginable non-Epsom salt firstaid for feet products.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:( DG & AH are going on holiday and didn't invite me. Where are you off to, AH? I'd love to go to Ireland, DG. That's one country where I'd blend right in, for once, instead of sticking out like a sore (redhead) thumb. And the accents ... swoon.

For those of you who predicted NO WINNER this week, you were correct. But, no one guessed the shelf ...

Our next shelf announcement is up ~ 'Series Catch-up' (personal shelf)

NOTE:
❀ Members are allowed to choose a book from any series that they have already started - no genre restrictions
❀ Book must be 200+ pages, part of a series, but not the first in a series
❀ Re-reads are not allowed - must be a book in a series you need to catch-up

Happy Reading, Everyone! :)

Right?! My carry-on sometimes weighs more now with my iGadgets and all of their adapters than my bag'o DTB ever did. And, excuse me in advance if we happen to be on a plane when my device battery dies b/c I'll sit in the bathroom with it plugged into the shaver outlet waiting for a full charge while I continue to read. LMAO!! >:) That's what they get for not putting outlets at every seat v. only busy or 1st.

[Susan (susayq ~)]

woohoo!
