SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

Sorry ya missed it, JenniJenni. Would you like for me to add you as a standby player?

Oops missed the deadline :(

Can I please sign up to be a replacement?

Ack! Missed it, too. Please sign me up as a replacement. Thanks, Steph!

Definitely! I'm adding you both (Cathy M & Lisa Kay) to the standby list now. Thanks!

Thanks Steph!

You're welcome.

I'm very sorry, but I need to withdraw my name from the list. Please let an alternate take my place. :)

Okay, Alice. I'll try to find your team a replacement. Thanks for letting us know.

Sorry, quick question about being an alt - not sure when/if I will be joining a team but if I start a book that can be used for the Free Space (or even the 1st shelf called this afternoon), can I use it or will I need to read something "fresh" once picked?

I guess I can always just read along anyways for the fun of it :)

(Haven't started it yet but was thinking about starting something tonight)

Good question, Cathy M. Typically, if you started the (FS or shelf qualifying) book when game players started reading (i.e.: after shelf announcement), you'd be able to count it towards your team's stamp. If you started the book before the shelf announcement, you'd have to start over for it to count. Does that make sense?

You're more than welcome to read along and jump in to chat with anyone/any team you'd like and/or on the round's discussion thread. :)

In fact, its a brilliant idea to read along with Bingo, especially if you're an alternate/standby player. Makes it so much easier if you do need to jump in to help out a team :)

And we've already had to signup 2 alternate players even before the game has started, so you never know.

Very true! :D

Yep got it!

I think I will play along now just so I won't have to play catch-up later on.

Thanks Steph & Sandra!

Add my name to the alternate list please

Excellent Krissy, we've already 'used' 3 standby players, and this is still the 1st week.

Steph will add you when she's next on the computer :)

Adding you now, Krissy, thanks!

Add my name to the alternate list player, let's see if I can keep the pace.

:D I don't doubt it Marisa, its only 1 book a week. LOL

I can be standby but I don't completely understand the game

Danielle, its much easier to play than to explain. Basically, we give you a shelf to pick a book from - thousands of books to choose from OR we give you a task - this week was 2nd, 3rd or 4th book in a series. The books you pick are always your choice from the lists or tasks given :)

Sounds easy enough thanks
