I was wondering when Lis was going to pop in :)

[Lis]

He he hee hee

[Leah]

Maybe I'll add in a long shelf chant...
Shhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeellllllllllfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!

[★Meghan★]

All right all right! I will admit it! I am a shelf stalker! I can't help it... :)

[Lis]

Me too Meghan... I'm trying to keep my competitiveness on the down low from my new team mates.

[Leah]

It sounds like we need to start Shelf Stalkers Anonymous...

[Lis]

1- I admit I'm powerless from the urge to "refresh" at least every 15 minutes.

[Jackie M]

In am pacing for the shelf.
I am home alone and now would be a perfect time to dive into a book.

Thank god i'm not the only one :0) i've spend more time on here today and have hardly done any reading. I'm going to wait to see what shelf is called first before i start my Free Read because I have acouple of choices picked out.

[Emily]

Bring on the shelf!!!

Same on both counts - I made a list of books I want to read and what shelves they qualify for, and I want to see what shelf is announced first before I relegate another to my free read...

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Good Morning, my little shelf stalkers!
My, but you do start early ...

Let's get this game started, shall we?!
Our first shelf announcement has been posted!

Happy Reading!

Oh Lis, its all too late now!!!!!!

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

Good morning all! Happy reading!!!

The "official" SOS Book Shelf Bingo ROUND FIVE Stats Google Doc is up. Tab 1 shows which teams have received which stamps. Tab 2 has ALL teams Bingo cards...for an easy overview of who has what.

Team captains (or fantastically eager teammates!), I'd really appreciate it if you would please check Tab 2 and YOUR team's card to verify that the labels match your official card at the top of your team thread! After you've checked, make a post here to let me know if it's OK, or there's an error. Thanks a lot!

**Also let us know if you have a problem viewing it!


ETA: Updated the link...so this is working now!!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Judithe, its not letting me view it.

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

Team 12: Card is OK!

[Alyssa]

Apparently the fancy Google Doc doesn't like anyone but Judithe. :-(

[AH]

Can't view it either.

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

Grrr....It hates me!

OK...here's the link from the top of the google doc:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/c...

And here's the one it gives me to "share":
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/c...

Does one of those work??
Let me know, and I'll update the link above!!

[Valerie]

The links in your latest post work for me, Judithe! Thanks! :)

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

Hooray! Thanks for letting me know!

[Alyssa]

Well.... I found a problem with Team #7's Bingo Card.

We have Dark Fantasy on there twice. I think one of them is supposed to be Urban Fantasy.

Or..... You could just forget that I said anything and leave it the way it is. So, when Dark Fantasy is called, we could earn 2 stamps.... *sneaky sneaky*

[Lis]

271 posted link works for me... FYI

*Tsk, tsk, tsk!* I'll get that fixed RIGHT NOW!

ETA: That's a Game-Master Steph "fix", but no worries, we won't want you to suffer with two of the same shelf!

[Alyssa]

Haha! Thanks, Judithe! :-)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Team #9 is fine. LOL.

Just so you know, Team #1 has a problem between their list and their card, I've already let Steph know, so they won't be able to verify yet.

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

OK! Thanks, Sandra!

[Rachel-RN]

Team #18 is correct

[Paris]

Team 2 is correct as well. Happy reading everyone!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Thanks for the catches, ladies! I've fixed team #7's card/list. And, I'm about to fix #1's card to match their list. Their current card is team #1's card from R4. Oops! LOL!

Thanks for suggesting the review and creating/posting the card spreadsheet, Judithe!

ETA: Team #1's card is good-to-go now. Lemme know if any other errors are found and I'll fix them lickety split. :)

[Lisa Kay]

Team #15's card & list are correct when compared to the Google Spreadsheet, Judithe & Steph!!

[Vivian]

Team #6's card is good to go!

[Susan (susayq ~)]

All I have to say is you ladies are amazing! Thank you for all your hard work :)

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

Thank you all! Marked your names in BOLD as OK...

Still waiting (impatiently, LOL) to update team names...have you decided yet? I'm partial to my own team's name, (well, that goes without saying, doesn't it!) but love seeing what's coming up.

(Though having difficulty explaining the reasons WHY I burst out laughing unexpectedly to the family members popping in and out...very creative ladies!)

[Crystal S]

Team 16's card is good. :-)

[Lauren]

Team 17's card is also correct.

[Lauren]

I've been going through some of the bookshelves and noticed that one or two have really slim pickings - male lead and psychic, for example. I was wondering if it would be OK to ask players to go through their read shelf and shelve some of the books they think would fit in the categories so that we can fatten them up a bit.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Those are among some of our slimmest lists, but Male Lead has 1,000+ and Psychic has 2,000+ choices, so not too bad. But, if anyone's willing/able to add to them, that is allowed.

For Psychic: you can look for Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye (by Victoria Laurie), Psy-Changelings, etc.

For Male Lead: you can look for Dresden, Harry Potter, Felix Castor, Caster Chronicles, Iron Druid, etc.

[Kate]

Team 13's card is correct :)

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

Thanks, Kate!

[Julianne]

team 5 card is correct too.

[Kerstin]

Team 10 card is correct as well.

[Heather]

Team 3 card is correct.

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

Thank you all!

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

Very cool. I'm terrible when it comes to remember team names, whose played in the past, etc. This is great, Judithe!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Excellent Judithe, we'll have to hang onto that one - living history :D
