Heidi Ho, Team Caps! Thanks for volunteering to guide your team through a round of BookShelf Bingo!

Your job, should you choose to accept it, will require a few things:
1 ~ Be our go-to person should we have any questions about your team
2 ~ Organize your teammate's weekly reads for each shelf/category so that the BSB Ninjas can quickly and easily verify and approve your stamp request(s)
3 ~ Encourage and motivate your team (you may also ask to borrow Judithe's whip whenever necessary)
4 ~ Post regularly to ensure your team is communicating and on track each week (Send PM and friendly poke if they haven't posted at least once a week, noted their book choice, and/or appear to have dropped out of webspace)
5 ~ Send us a PM (Steph, Sandra or Judithe) should you need us for any reason throughout the game

Hi Team!!!
I can't wait to start and get to know all of you even though I think I already know all of you!

Go Team Seven!!

Hi, Kim! Hope ya enjoy the game!

Hi Kimberly *waves*

Hi Steph :)

Steph, love the easy-peasy links, great idea :D

:D Thanks, ma'am!

*waves frantically* Miss chatting with you! Time zone differences SUCK A$$!

Yep, totally agree on the suckiness!!!

:D

Popping in to say hi to Sandra! HEY GURL! I missed you like....A LOT. GR is so dead lately. SO YAY for you being in BSB R9 and me being in BSB R9 even if we aren't on the same team, which means I will have to crush you. Nicely. The nicest beatdown in the history of beatdowns. I know you will return the favor. You might even beat me down so kindly and nicely, candy will fall out.

But I digress. GOOD LUCK!

LOL I could always borrow Judithe's whip, so watch it!!!

Good luck right back atcha

I agree! Steph, you always make things so easy for everyone!

Hi Everyone! I think I've been on a team with all (or at least most) of everyone before. Excited for a new round of bingo!

Love the links and the shelves/themes/thingies!

*waves frantically* Miss chatting with you! Time zone differences SUCK A$$!"

Ditto on both of those!!!!!

Howdy, teamies! Breezing in between classes to say hi! Looking forward to Sunday!

Be back as soon as I found out where I stuffed the whip after moving last month! And...payday! BINGO is a very good excuse to run to the bookstore and stock up! (Hmmm....as if I needed an excuse!) :)

LOL Definitely no excuse needed :)

*grin*

7 like the continents...not to names yet, but just wondering how many continents/countries our team hits. Three? Or Four?

Japan (Asia) Me


36 hours or so till Bingo starts!

Oceania - Aus, of course for me :)

Names, hmmm

How about the Sinister 7 ????

or one of those weird juxtaposition names like Toxic Squirrels or Ice Spiders ????

Name Generator visit came up with...


Spirit Slammers
Silver Tornadoes
Raging Lunatics
Ice Mafia
Retro Ninjas

Hmmm....maybe will visit the name generator again later (started getting duplicates...)

LOL

Hi all! Just stopping in to say HI! I've also been on teams with most everyone. :-) Happy to have Bingo back. Off to finish a challenge book and look busy at work.

I'm in Arizona, North America.

I like Raging Lunatics, Ice Mafia, Retro Ninjas and Toxic Squirrels.

Team names to contribute:
Feisty Firebirds
Book Destroying Unicorns
The Other Smurfs
Ambush Anacondas
Atomic Affliction
Doberman Eagle Bruisers

I'm kind of at the opposite end of North America in Massachusetts.

Hmmm, I'm bad at names. I always appreciate silliness like Toxic Squirrels or Retro Ninjas. Best one I got from the random generator was Pink Panthers of Death. Like I said, I'm bad at naming things. :)

I'm very happy to have a random name this time. Gotta keep things fresh.

Does anyone want to be captain?

And any more names?

We've got just over 10 hours till shelf call .....

Whoo! Can't wait! (Shelf, shelf, shelf!)

For captain, I'd say it would be better for me NOT to be it. Some crazy RL stuff going on.

Let's all select some fave names...and then see if there's a winner that way?

Sinister7s
Samurai7s (hey...half my life here, feeling the vibe, and the samurai are much cooler than ninja...here they're more of the slimy foxy guys! LOL!)
Ice Mafia (gonna cooly slide into the winners seat...already thinking of ways to bribe our cyber dude, Mr. R....not successfully, but thinking!)
Toxic Squirrels
Retro Ninja Lunies(hey, that it's only bee 1/2 my life...the first half thought ninja were wayyyyyy cool!)

Well...the wine is talking! Gotta check if there's a discussion thread candlelight party while shelf-waiting...might (or NOT!) be safer!

I don't mind being captain but I also don't mind not being captain if someone else wants to do it.

My only issue is that it's sometimes difficult for me to get on goodreads at work, so if someone else has more access and wants to do it that's cool. It really only matters if we're in the hunt when a winning shelf is called. Otherwise, it's been a while since I've captained so I'll take a turn if other people would rather not.

Looks like you're it for Captain, Karen :) Don't worry, with 2 Mods on the team, we're sure to post if its important :)

Just doing a bit of tidy up before posting the first shelf. Yay!!!

Shelf #1 ~ 18/5/14: 'Demons'
DIRECT LINK: Demons

Thanks Karen! And don't worry cause you've got lots of back up!

OK I'll be reading for Demons. Not sure on Free Space yet.

Cool. Any consensus on names? That's one piece of captaincy I'm not qualified for. It took me about a month to name my pets. :)

Mr. R. is starting out well for me. The book I wanted to get to next is on the first page of the demon shelf. Yay!

Now off to go read the new Free Space rules and figure that out.

I vote for Ice Mafia for our name.

For Demons, I'll read The Darkest Craving

Just finished my Dark Huntress Reread...love that series! And now time to get started on IAD (still need to go book shopping!)

For Demons: A Hunger Like No Other
For Free Space (off SOS Bookshelves) Oracle's Moon

Both goodies Judithe, enjoy!

:)

Hmmm...A little quiet! How's everyone doing? Just finished A Hunger Like No Other (review tomorrow! Ready to crash, but have some lesson prep & dishes that are the final hurdle to sleep!) and loved it (again!).

Hope everyone has their noses happily buried in their books!

Hey Judithe! Hey Team!

Yes, my nose has been in a few books this weekend trying to distract myself from the heat. It's been a while since I read anything from the Love At Stakes series, so it's been a bit slow getting up to speed with it.

Judithe, are you participating in the IAD re-read?

We're the last team to pick a name.

Sandra wrote: "We're the last team to pick a name."

Here are the top 3 names based on our comments:
Toxic Squirrels
Ice Mafia
Retro Ninjas

Cast your vote!

Sandra: Ice Squirrels
Sherri
Kimberly: Ice Squirrels
Judithe
KarenF: Ice Squirrels

Well as one of the other teams is called Toxic Mafia, I vote for Ice Squirrels.

I could go with Ice Squirrels. It's what I saw all winter around here.:)

I finished my first book and I'll have the review up tomorrow.

Sandra wrote: "Well as one of the other teams is called Toxic Mafia, I vote for Ice Squirrels."
Yeah, I saw that too. I vote for Ice Squirrels.

I'm good with Ice Squirrels.

I think Ice Squirrels wins!
