SOS� Fourth Round of Book Shelf Bingo is about to begin!
Thank you to all our diehard BSB players for your patience! I hope everyone will be able to join us for Round FOUR! :)

As many of you already know, Book Shelf Bingo is harder to explain than it is to play. A shelf name is posted weekly and in order for your team to receive their stamp (on their bingo card) all members must read, rate and review their book. The shelves are randomly picked each week using Mr. Randomizer. The book you choose to read is your choice, the only requirement is the book must be listed on the chosen shelf in order to qualify.

Once the shelf name is announced, visit the link included in the announcement, choose your book, post your choice on your team's thread and get ta readin'. Once you're done, post your read date, 1-5� rating and review. Your review does not have to win any awards for it's grammar or prose, however all reviews must be longer than "I really dis/liked it." Include what you did/n't like about it, if you'll read anything else in the series or by the same author, and anything else that made it a stand-out or crapped-out read for you. When all members of your team have RR&R'd their book, your team will receive a stamp for that shelf on your team bingo card.

The first team to get BINGO (5 in a row - horizontally, diagonally or vertically) wins! It's that easy!

We look forward to returning players as well as newbies joining us for Round 4 (R4)! Please read through the following and sign up in this thread, if you are interested.


If you are a new player: Please take into consideration, before signing up for this team challenge, that your team members will count on you and your steady participation throughout the length of the game.

There is no way to know in advance how long the game will last. R1 lasted 4.5 months, R2 lasted 2.5 months, and R3 lasted 4 months. The shelves are chosen using random.org, so there was a chance the game could have gone on for a shorter/longer time period.

Teams have their own team thread where members frequently chat about what they’re reading, post reviews and comments. You are welcome to look through the past team threads (in our Archive: Past Team Challenges folder ) to get an idea of how the game flows.

It’s only fair that you consider all of this before making a decision to join us for R4. We want every member, new and returning, to be 110% sure they will be able to stick with their team throughout the length of the game. We are all aware that people will have real-life issues that cause conflict and other issues may cause you to be less active for a certain amount of time. We are all understanding and accommodate our team members during their breaks.

Please read over these threads for more information. Playing the game is easy and not as complex as the directions make it sound. Feel free to ask any questions!

How to: Simplified for the short & sweet version of how the game works
How to: Get Started, Get Playin' & Get Winnin' for detailed instructions on how to play the game

Once you’ve read through everything, if you are still interested in joining us for R4, please sign up below.

We will cut off sign-up on Tuesday, 31 January. Please feel free to sign-up after the cut-off, if you would like to be on our stand-by list. If someone drops out, I will contact those on the stand-by list to fill in.

MANDATORY: I will be sending a PM to everyone who signs up requesting that you confirm, one final time, if you are in 110% before I randomize players for teams. You will have TWO DAYS to respond to my PM. If you do not or decide to pass, I will PM the first member on the STAND-BY list and ask if they'd like to fill in. I will let you know prior to sending the PM, so you'll know when to check your in-boxes.

Myself, Sandra, Judithe & Laura Lulu are all looking forward to joining everyone for R4! Thank you to all the members who participated in the previous rounds!! We had a blast reading with you. We hope to see many new faces and returning faces in R4!

IN!!!!!!!

*If you are wondering why I am up at 3 am, it is because I am sick & miserable. I have decided not to go to class today because I feel like ass crack. So I'm going to sit here, dream about BSB R4....& feel sorry for myself. *Lethal blows nose*

:( Sorry you're sick, hun. Feel better soon!

Thanks, Steph. I don't where this came from. It's like the sick bug jumped me in the parking lot when I was looking for my keys. It jumped me & roughed me up, then gave me a box of Kleenex.

Lethal, that's terrible! Feeling for ya! Hope the Kleenex came with the Aloe Vera, so soft and smooth on your red nose :)

I'd love to participate.

LOL! Well, it didn't steal your wonderful sense of humor, so that's something. Rest and relax!

Got cha, Kate.

Thanks Sandra & Steph. Yes, I has the soft aloe vera Kleenex. My nose is having multiple orgasms. I'm also wearing my "I will NEVER let a non-dead person see me in these" Hello Kitty Footsie pajamas. They look like this only with more kitties:


I know you are jealous, you don't even have to say anything.

ROFLMAO Literally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so jealous but my hubby is probably pretty happy I haven't got a set of pjs like that :D

LOL! I totally understand, Sandra. That's why only dead people are allowed to see me wearing them. Every time I put them on, I feel like I've regressed to infancy...but they are SOOO comfortable.

LMAO!! How adorable! I used to have something like that w/a pee flap in the back. Hope Kitty takes good care of ya.

In!

I'd like to play again!

Hey Steph I would like to play again

I'm in*

I'm in, i'd like to be a player please. :-)
Yay, finally!

Most definitely!! So happy to have this to beat the winter blahssssssss!

Count me in as a player please!

all reviews must be longer than "I really dis/liked it." was aimed at me. Admit it.

I promise to do better...If you allow me to play! lolol

(Just to be clear, I would like to play, please.)

Lethal, I am so envious...of the pj's not the illness! Get well and then send the pj's to me, please?!?!? lol

Never played this game before. I would like to be on stand by for this one.

**Update** If there is some space left...I'll be a player.As Sandra said, it's only 1book/week.

Valerie, are you sure you only want to be on standby? You get to know your fellow team mates and have a lot of fun, and read good books if you play.

Go on, join up its only 1 book per week. *nudge, nudge* :)
