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

Bonjour!
Can't wait to start.

Hi Teamies!!!

Any volunteers for captain? I can if no one else wants to.

That's ok with me...

Tomorrow is our first shelf woot woot!

Let's try to get a name figured out if we can. I'm having a hard time coming up with 9 related words.

These are the cheesy ones I could think of lol

Cloud 9 Readers
99.9% Gonna Win This

Nothing with "nine" is coming to mind but I like "Midnight Readers"

so I used the name randomizer site and...

No Return Tigresses
Blue Nigh Blitz
The Chemical Landslide
The Vanguard
The Muffin Stuffers
Fire Breathing Cobras

And my fav Donkey Punchin Kangaroos

Konban-wa!

Nice to meet you, Teamies! Very excited to play with you all, and quite happy for Jenne to be our fearless captain!

Muffin stuffers? Or the DPKs....rolling over here! Fun ideas!!

I like the DPK one too :)

I picked out my free space book last week lol. Do we have any newbies?

I've been playing since round 3... Need to find my free space book. Hmmmm... Too many choices...

I'm ok with Jenne being captain...and I think we are all experienced BSB Bingo players, been playing since round 7.

DPK is funny, with a name like that....it's unlikely that it's ever been used before.

Awesome I'll post it in the discussion thread for our fearless leaders :)

Been around since the beginning!

How do we want it posted?

DPK ~ Donkey Punchin Kangaroos

Donkey Punchin Kangaroos ~ DPK

or something else??

Too late, I've already added it from Jenne's post. LOL.

Lol

We have a name! Woot woot!!

What time zones is everyone reporting from? I'm in the U.S. Eastern time zone??

Awesome name....quite the visual....good luck ladies

Eastern time zone, I'm in Canada. I never figure out when is the shelf announcement with the time zone correction.

I'm in Central it's usually around 3:00 pm for me when it's shelf call.

Val it should be 4:00 pm for you then.

Pretty close to the same...

Val, how's your soap venture going? They always look more edible than usable... Very creative!

Ok ladies I made us a mascot :P
Clearly I have too much time on my hands today…..

lol, I'm currently attending a class on how to launch a business. It's a 200 hours course that should finish mid September. I'm taking the long way around because I don't want it to fail. Funny how so small a hobby can be so much work to set up right! It's considered a cosmetic so there is a shit ton of rules and regulations to follow on top of the business segment.

If you want I can post pictures of my latest attempts from time to time.

I connected to your FB page, so I've seen a few there. Very cool!

As for time zones, I'm in Japan...Wednesday shelf is the middle of my night, so I get it on my Thursday morning...always check but may not have time to post. So, try not to worry if you don't hear from me super quick.

Also anticipating the first really BIG typhoon of the season...coming almost straight on...but should be able to at least check in via phone.

Today, work and battening down the hatches are the priority. See ya this evening! (Hopefully!)

Stay safe Judithe!

Yes, stay safe! And dry!!

Stay safe Judithe!

First shelf!!!
strong heroine

So many many choices... For free space I'll go with and

For the Strong Heroine shelf I'm deciding between and . Will take 'em for a short reading spin and see which one grabs me...

BFM!!!!!!!!
Such a good book :)

......mmmmmm, not sure what I'll choose. I don't feel like reading YA but I might have to. My main issue is starting yet another series that I won't be able to keep up with.

Can't decide between , , (new to me)

or go with already started series , ,

The fae chronicles are awesome =)
I'm about to go mow and I'll decide tonight.

Jenne wrote: "The fae chronicles are awesome =)" Ditto...

Just peaking in from team 7 to say ya'll's team name give me a giggle and I love it :)

I'm going with for our first shelf =]

it is for my strong heroine shelf pick....

I'm going to read (and must say I had a real laugh when I looked at the books that came up with that search!)

Work finished early...jammed all my lessons in so the kids can be safe at home...now spouse has a shoot-em-up modern "real-life" war movie on (not, not, not into that)...and I'm watching sheets of water come down...and the pretty patterns as the gusts hit them. If you want to see a cool graphic...go here. Home is just above the blue eye. It updates, so will see if I can add a screen shot...

Typhoon #11/Nangka

Now gonna search for my free space book...and grade a few papers.

OK...fingers crossed that this will actually show up. If not, back later to delete or try again!

[image error]

So I finally started and see where it leads. I'm not a fast reader but I normally manage a book per week. Don't know yet what my Free Space book is.

I started mine tonight...it's kind of sucked me in, very dark.
Judithe hope all is ok and you weathered the storm.

Made it through fine, thanks Jenne!

Also finished (devoured!) my book! 5 stars...review will be up after work today....

And decided my free space book...from SOS bookshelf,
