Yaay! I'm very eager for another Bingo round!!!
(Psst...Is it too early to go looking for free-space book???)
(Psst...Is it too early to go looking for free-space book???)
Yay! LOL Preethi, no never too early :)
Yeah! Got 6 weeks off from school. Bring it on! (yes I know it will go longer than 6 weeks)
It'll be my first time, but I'm down!!
I would love to do this one but it will be my first time playing.
Yay! Happy to see some newbies interested and always happy to see returning players!We're shooting for a start date of Wed 15/July. Sign-up thread will go up next week. Hope you'll all join us for R12!
I really need this to whittle the TBR pile and kill a reading slump. Count me in!
Yay! Glad to see so many people coming back to Bingo, and very pleased new people want to play as well.
Always ready and so excited to see new and "old" faces!
Am I the only that's already going through books for this? Just looking to see where I am in my paranormal series so I can put library books on hold if needed.
So excited!!!! Steph, Judithe, Preethi and Sandra - I've missed you guys. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help :)
I have never done this before but it combines many of my most favorite things...reading, bingo, and meeting new people/making new friends. Is it okay for me to join in? Would love to try it out!
Don't worry about being a newbie. It's easy to play ( easier than to explain) and you'll be on a team with people clearly invested in helping their teammates along if any questions come up plus a general discussion thread where moderators will also help with gameplay questions. :)
Of course, Joanne! An official sign up thread should be posted soon. Round 11 was my first Bookshelf Bingo and I had a blast! We get a little crazy a day or two before a new shelf is to be called...I think you will really enjoy it.
It's been forever since I played. May join in this round...as long as I don't manage to miss sign-ups
I love BSB but I might just sit this one out. I've found that I'm so busy with challenge books my review books are getting lost in the shuffle and I'm feeling as if reading is starting to be a chore. Meaning I'm feeling that I have to read a certain book instead of wanting to read it. I'll be ready to go again when R13 comes around though!
I was told how fun this was from people and other groups, so I'm in!

Is there a signup thread yet even if everything else (including exact start date) isn't ready?
Okay everyone, the sign-up thread is now open (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) and will remain so until Sun, 12 July. So, don't delay if you wanna play! :DHi Kim! Good to see ya :)
Joanne, we're happy you'll be joining us! It's very easy to play, promise!
Christina T, that's no fun! Hope it all balances out for ya soon and becomes less of a chore. Hopefully you can join us for lucky R13! ;)
✣ More details to follow soon ✣
It's looking like R12 will start mid-July. As soon as we've settled on an exact date I'll let everyone know. We hope you'll be able to join us!
