:D Sooo excited to play! Last round was my first time playing and I've been eagerly awaiting another round :) I was actually on team #2 last round as well!Some of you look EXTRMELY familiar but I don't think we've ever been on a team in another group together before... Sorry if I've forgotten you!
I live in Maine (eastern time zone). I'm mom to two furbabies, Padfoot (yorkiepoo) and Harley (wheaten).
I read almost every romance sub-genre, but UF/PNR is my favorite. Kate Daniels (Ilona Andrews) and The Others (Anne Bishop) are currently my favorite series.
I'm pretty chatty, I hope you all don't mind!
Does anyone want to be captain? I'm up for it if no one wants to do it.
Hi Kait,I am vacationing in Maine right now! I'm in Bar Harbor until Monday and then a week in Belfast. Due to being on vacation and not at my home computer I would prefer not to be captain.
For the time being I will be working off titles on my kindle, but I have quite a few and shouldn't have a problem.
Back home in upstate NY on the 15th, so can pick from print and kindle for the 16th announcement
About me: married and retired librarian; one married daughter and one grandson; no pets
Linda - Hope you're having a nice time here! It's been a while since I've been to either town, but I remember a really great whale watching tour in Bar Harbor and some fun kayak tours.I just took a 'vacation' and am back to work tomorrow :( I've had an awful cold for two weeks now and spent my entire vacation trying to sleep. I didn't even get any reading done!
(Yay for kindles! Such a life saver.)
Kait, - what part of Maine do you call home? We did some hiking in Acadia, took a nature boat tour, saw a repertory production of Bus Stop, ate lots of lobster and seafood, and went to the Southwest Harbor library book sale. What can I say, a perfect vacation!

I live in Portland :)
Fun! I'm not a 'hiker' but I enjoy Acadia. Most memorable for me is the ice cream at the top of one of the mountains, I definitely earned that cone!
I hope the porpoises were out for your nature tour!
Sounds like a great vacation :) It's hard to go wrong with books and lobster.
I sent ✼Danielle✼ and AmandaA PMs with a link to this thread :)
Thanks for the PM Kait. I was meant to check earlier if teams were up, but I forgot.
Hi team! I'm from Wales. Romance (in many a sub genre) is my main genre to read. I also like fantasy. Love Anne Bishop, Faith Hunter, Ilona Andrews are some of my favourite UF/PNR authors.
Looking forward to this round starting, I think this may be my 4th of 5th round, I'm not sure.

Enjoy your holidays.
Any team name ideas? I'm not good at coming up with any.
Thanks for the message, Kait! I checked early yesterday and then forgot to check again.
Hi ladies! I live in South Carolina and I have a Yorkie furbaby. I read mostly romance and mysteries. This is my 11th round of BSB in this group and it is so much fun! Thanks for your willingness to be captain, Kait!
Here area few randomly generated names (some that I just added bingo to) since my brain is fried for ideas :PThe Nimble Bingo Mystics

Nice favorites!! I'm 'new' to Faith Hunter (only on book #3 of her Jane Yellowrock series) but I'm enjoying her as well.
Amanda A wrote: "Thanks for the message, Kait! I checked early yesterday and then forgot to check again.":P You're welcome! I've probably already said it since I think I've 'run' into you in a few groups, but I love your avatar!
Alright! Looks like I'm be captain-ing. I've edited my first post in this thread to be tracking.Any other name suggestions?
Hi Amanda and Danielle!I like paranormal except for vampires. Although I have read books with good vampire characters in them, they have generally been a side character and not the reason I picked up the book. Looking forward to finding new authors and series. Love Ilona Andrews.
For team name:
I like the ghost buster spin off
Who You Gonna Call?-Bingo Busters
Me too. I am in another team challenge where our team name is Book Busters.
I checked our card against the spread sheet and it matched. I noted that in the main discussion thread. So we're all set.
:D Woohoo! We're all set to start on Wednesday, it looks like! I started looking at books for Free Space. I'm going to wait to see what the first shelf call is though before really making a decision.Right now my top contender is
I meant to pick it up ages ago but just haven't made time.

I plan to read
for the Free Space. It is on the group bookshelf.I have had that series by Amanda Stevens on my TBR for ages too, Kait.

I have a terrible memory but I think it's been a while since I've really enjoyed a vampire MC. The two that stand out in my memory are

Great choice! I'm on #5 of that series and really enjoying it.
Amanda A wrote: "I plan to read for the Free Space. It is on the group bookshelf."Love this series!
I haven't looked at Free Space yet, I will do later.
I think I will read
for my Free Space. It is on the group shelf
Linda C wrote: "I think I will read for my Free Space. It is on the group shelf"I'm so impressed with this series! I'm not a fan of serials but this feels so... cohesive and like a regular novel. I should know better than to doubt the Ilona Andrews team!
I haven't managed to look for Free Space yet, so I'll look for both tomorrow as it's late now.
I will be reading:
by Amanda Stevens for Free Space, it is on the group bookshelf.
by Kristen Painter for Kindle Freebie (shelved 17 times)

KINDLE FREEBIE
Tall, Tatted and Tempting by Tammy Falkner10 August
★★★
I've had this book for years and never picked it up until today. For the most part I enjoyed the book. I liked Logan and his brothers, so I'll read on in the series to see more of them and get their stories. Emily had a secret that she kept for most of the book and that just annoyed me, especially with what the secret was. Overall I liked, but with the ending it a 3 star book.
Free Space
Date Read: 8/10/17
Rating: ★★★★
I love this series. Gin is awesome and I admire her loyalty to her friends and family no matter what. I love Owen but I was disappointed with how oblivious he was to Salina's evil ways. The secondary characters are entertaining, with Finn being one of my favorites. I like how all of the characters continue to evolve in each book. The ending was not what I was expecting but I hope they will work through it.
