So, out of curiosity, I looked up the definition of "stooked"
teehee
stook (stuːk)
n
(Agriculture) a number of sheaves set upright in a field to dry with their heads together
vb
(Agriculture) (tr) to set up (sheaves) in stooks
Stook a heap or bundle; a truss of flax or of sheaves of grain, 1530. See also cock.
I stopped reading at "See also cock."

I'll behave.
And I blame Sammy. All I did was provide a definition of a word that few of us knew. Education is so important after all.

Oh, there is no devolving of any kind. It's our natural state. 😆

From further on in the paragraph: Participation points from previous BOM that are already on the spreadsheet can be used.
I.e. if you've claimed them from last year then they are good to use, but we aren't accepting people going back to claim a lot now.

I don't honestly remember what I said I was going to name my shelf, as it has been a few days, and my brain has moved on. "book-games" or something, maybe?

I was wondering that myself. It sounds a lot like TT, but not called TT. My previous shelves were all "nbrc-tt-" and then the number. For this one, I just did "nbrc-book-games."

We've gone for something different this year, so this isn't a TT, which will come back. A lot of the shelves are variations on book games.

This ARC approval came too late for UNO. Although it sounds more like Thirst Games than Hunger Games, it still seems a nice fit. 😊
