Hiya, 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 them a 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 teamies!!!! Can't wait to get started :)

I'll see if I can come up with any name ideas.

Hello. I think I'm on the right team. Unless there is another Mary signed up.

Hopefully school won't keep me from getting the books done. I've been managing at least one audiobook a week so I've already started going through the shelves to line one up for each.

Hi team! Nice to meet you/see you again.

Who wants to be captain? I've been one many times before so I could do it again if nobody else wants to and of course, could always help out if needed.

As for names, according to wikipedia, 13 is also known as "devil's dozen" or "baker's dozen", so we could use something similar, e.g. "Reader's dozen".

I look forward to playing with you all!

Ooh I like Devil's Dozen.

Devil's Dozen is a great one

I don't want to be captain.

I don't either but can help if needed =]

hey team i like devils dozen! this is my first time doing this but i am super excited for it!

I've already picked my Free Space book:

I've checked out in ebook from the library like 5 times now. I keep getting back in line and then somehow never get around to it when I get it.

I think I might read the first one of that series I have been meaning to start that series for quite a while now

Glad you all liked the name - I was partial to that one myself!

Also, my awesome deduction skills led me to the conclusion that you'd rather I be captain of the team, correct?

Lol sounds like you're our fearless leader :)

I'm ok with Thenia as captain.

me too

Okay then Devils, I'll get started on organizing our free space shelf. If you have picked out a book let me know and I'll update the list.

Done: 4/4 ~ stamp received (3/26/2015)

I'm gonna read Under the Gun for my FS
It's on pg 12 of the groups shelf.

for my free read I will read

So, thanks to years of hoarding audiobooks I got from the library, I have at least 1 to cover every possible shelf except the Leather & Lace one. I have one that looks like the guy is wearing leather pants and another one where it looks like the woman has lace trim on her dress. Would have to see if the mods approved.

Of course that's also just going by my current next in a series books which might change by the time it gets called.

They both sound fine Mary :)

Just an FYI for anyone, like me, who likes to print the bingo card out: Even though the ad was way over the side, it printed out over the bingo card so make sure you close that ad out first. Also it printed 3 copies for some reason, of course with the ad over each one. So also select it to just print page 1.

That's what I had to do anyway.

Ooh. I have this checked out in ebook from the library but I just found out the audible upgrade is only $3.49. And you get to keep the upgrade after the ebook expires. So basically cheap audiobook. I've gotten several cheap audiobooks that way. Plus it works for a few different shelves.

1st shelf!

So sad it's all over :(
Everything ties up nicely, I am heartbroken over (view spoiler)[Keaty & Lucas' deaths. I'm also heartbroken that things didn't turn out differently with Holden. Dammit he needs a HEA! (hide spoiler)] The buildup to the end was very obvious in the previous book so I'm not surprised that a lot of things went down like they did. It's just about impossible to review this without spoilers. So much happened and when I think back to book 1 when Secret was a hired assassin for the council things have done a total 180 and some.
I'm always sad to finish a series but I do respect an author for not dragging it out till the bitter end. Secret has been my go to when I'm in the mood for a kick a$$ heroine and now I'm gonna have to find me a new go to series.

Wow this team is quiet.

I'm about half-way through mine already.

Lol I'm usually Chatty Cathy. I'm fighting a nasty cold ATM :(

I'm 1/4 into my free space book now. Fixing to go drown in congestion and read....

I'm going back to school have a bunch of homework. If it wasn't for audiobooks I wouldn't be getting any non-school reading done.

I've been forcing myself to listen to my audios lately. I've just not been in the mood. Not sure why?

I am almost half way through my book as well.

I hope you get better Jenne being sick is the worst.

I sadly can't listen to audio books, every time I try I get sleepy and bored with something reading to me and fall asleep. I think it goes with I don't like being read to.

I'm also fighting a cold and that, combined with work, has affected my reading time considerably. I'm sure I'll catch up with you guys during the weekend.

Enjoying your books so far?

I listen while I do housework. I can't just sit and listen. Sometimes I can for a little bit when I first go to bed but not for more than 5 minutes.

I listen when I am doing mindless stuff like dishes, laundry, walking the dog, doing my hair. Basically things that don't require a lot of concentration.

Not much progress today I'm afraid. Too many chapters of my very exciting business management text book to read for tomorrow morning's class.

LOL Mary

Fun times Mary....

This was my least favorite in the series. It was missing all of the awesome goodness of Nina. She was in it some but not as much as usual. I did laugh some at the interactions between Alex and Sophie but no where near as much as Nina makes me laugh. It does set the stage for the next book nicely and I will be reading it in the near future for sure. This was just one of those in between books lol.
