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

Hello all! Can't wait to get started!

Hi Jennifer....have you played before this is my favorite team challenge...

This will be my fourth time to play. I love it too!

I don't know how many I have played...I should go check the archives....

Guess we need to work on a team name

I cant commit to being a captain this round....I have too many team challenges occurring right now....

Hello Team 11! I'm also not sure how many I've played. I think it's probably most of the rounds. I love it!!

I am captain of another team challenge and will be moving during this challenge, so I can't be Captain either. But I will help as much as possible.

I think I'm new to everyone on here, which is great! I live in New Orleans - Happy Mardi Gras everyone! I have 4 children - ages 26,24,22 and 20. 3 of them live here and one is in CA. I am married and work as an Allstate insurance agent. I will have no problem getting my 1 book a week done and my only challenge will be during the week at the end of March when I am moving. But I will give everyone a heads up on that as we go along.

Welcome Leslie

Great to meet you. New Orleans how exciting! I love to read books set in NO and good thing there are lots of series set there...

I live in Canada...near Calgary in the foothills of the Rockies....

I work from home and I am an accounting tech....

Hi Rosina! New Orleans is pretty exciting right now. But unfortunately the weather is not cooperating. I was going to my favorite parade tonight but it's supposed to rain. So sad!

How nice to work from home!

Hi everyone! Sorry I'm so late checking in, long day at work today. Hi Rosina, good to be on a team with you again!

I live near Seattle Washington, and we are having unseasonably warm weather this winter. Which is nice when you get to open the windows in February, not so great when your husband and kids have seasons passes at Stevens Pass :(

I think I have played most, but not all, rounds as well. I am okay about being captain, but if Jennifer would like to be it that works for me.

So glad to meet new people!

I live in Fort Worth, TX. I'm a stay-at-home-mom. I have one son who is 8 years old and ornery as heck.

Heather, you are more than welcome to be team captain. I'm glad you volunteered, because I didn't really want to do it. :)

Team name...any ideas?

Hi Heather great to be teammates again!

team names
all that keeps bouncing in my head is

double barrel. ...

eleven comes from German meaning one left

anyone know of anything significant pertaining to 11?

The band Finger Eleven

Good evening, Team! Seems like we have a nice team. Happy to meet all of you.

I'll vote for Heather as Captain!

As to names, I am terrible. It doesn't necessarily have to be a play on 11 however, if someone has something else they like.
All I come up with is Elevensies - which comes from LOTR.

I agree that it doesn't have to have 11 in the title, but I'm not too creative myself...

Apollo 11
An 11-sided polygon is called a hendecagon, though that is a bit long
Or, in the spirit of Vikings returning this week, Ragnar's Babes (or any other term with Ragnar... Just think of all the photo ops we could have on our board :D)

I'm happy to go with Ragnar's Babes!!

Happy Mardi Gras!! Here's a picture taken several years ago of my 3 daughters and 2 friends. This is after 1 parade. My daughters are the three on the left.

Great photo Leslie, happy Mardi Gras to you :))))

I like that idea Heather...perhaps I need to watch the Vikings....I have heard a couple others says its a hunk-fest...

Great photo Leslie....

Holding off reading a book hoping that it fits for first shelf called.....

My hubby quite enjoys the Vikings, though possibly not for the hunks. LOL.

And Rosina, read something short, cause it wouldn't qualify for Bingo anyway :)

Sandra I meant I am holding off starting this certain book...I have 4 books on the go right now...so no lack of something to read...

Really should watch Vikings ...since DH is Norwegian

Love the photo Leslie! I have no idea what Vikings is, but I'm for anything that has to do with hot, meaty men. ;)

No worries Rosina :)

Jennifer, Vikings qualifies for meaty men. LOL.

Well it looks like we are beginning to have consensus. We could be Eleven Ragnar Babes. And Vikings is a wonderful series on the History Channel. The second season is about to start. I've only seen a few episodes, but it was fun.

Has anyone read First Grave on the Right

I am hoping that to be my book for the first shelf...need to read it for another challenge...

It's a great series Rosina :) If it doesn't qualify for the 1st shelf, there is always free space.

I'm on #6 of that series and it's gets better and better.
Thanks for reminding me about Free Space, Sandra! I need to figure out my book.

Love the Charley Davidson series! One of my favorites!

I love Charley Davidson too, I listen to those books, I love the lady that reads them.

Okay so I like both versions, would you all like Eleven Ragnar Babes? Or Ragnar's Babes? I think I like it with Eleven better.

Oh and once I get home to my laptop I will try to get a photo posted or two :) internet was down all day at work today so things were a bit crazy.

Okay, so here is a quick photo for you all...

Let me know what you all think on the name and I will post it over to the board tomorrow. I believe we are supposed to get our first shelf tomorrow, so if anyone knows what they are reading for the free shelf, go ahead and post that too, and I will start the post for our first shelf and free read tomorrow. Excited to get the game started everyone!

Well hello Mr. Viking. Hubba, hubba.

Either name works for me.

I'm good with Eleven Ragnar Babes.

I will be reading



Favorite Being : Shapeshifter
Favorite Genre : Paranormal/Urban Fantasy

Thanks for posting the shelf Rosina, I am in a meeting most Wednesday's at 1. Did you have a vote on the team name?

I will post my book picks when I get home tonight.

I like the Ragnars Babes...

I work from home so I should be able to post the shelf if that helps you out....

Okay team, for our name we have votes that are pretty evenly tied up. What would you all like to do?

Rosina, if you can post that would be great! The meeting can be short some weeks, but lately it has been running pretty long.

I'll go with Ragnar's Babes and swing the vote.

And I will look for a book.
