R2: Discussion & Questions

It doesn't look like a locket, so no. But you are absolutely right, if teacup is called it'll work for it :)

[Dawn]

Thanks Megan. And I kinda of figured it wouldn't work for locket, but I had to ask. :)

[Darlene]

I think it is, or is close enough, so yes!

[Dawn]

Does this one work for city skyline?

The copy I have is actually the purpleish cover with a town across the bottom, I think it's the first version published. The one I pasted was the closest to it.

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

I know exactly the cover you mean, and yes it works! :)

[Caitlyn]

Would this one work for City Skyline ?

If not that's fine, I was just trying to decide between this one and Insurgent!

[Brittany]

Curious if this would work for skyline?


If not, I will do Divergent. (which I know is ok)

It works, but I vote for Insurgent - really enjoyed it :)

Sorry, I don't think Secretly Smitten works.

[Brittany]

ok, no problem

Thanks Megan! So glad to hear that! I think I will read Insurgent, especially since I already own that one and I would have to buy a copy of If I Should Die! :D

Does Cooking the Books work for skyline? The skyline is in the background. Cooking the BooksThanks for all you do.

Yes :)

Just wanted to let everyone know that Let Them Eat Cake by Sandra Byrd is FREE on Kindle right now! The book has a city skyline on the cover.... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A...

[Holly]

So I feel really behind right now... but the original one I picked for fog just doesn't work for me... is that fog in the background of this Kathy Herman Book?



Thanks!

Looks like fog to me, so yes :)

Team 4: Bingo Readers, MD got a bingo!




Now I have a question for the rest of the participants. Would you like to keep going to see which team gets the second bingo or say this round is over?

[Caitlyn]

Personally, I would prefer to call this round done. Because I have a bit of a backlog of books to read right now anyway! But I'm open to whatever the majority vote is! :)

[Brittany]

I am open to whatever the majority wants. I also have a backlog of review books right now that I am working on, which is why I waited and did not start the "statue" book when I saw that it would probably not matter since Team 4 was so close.

Do you think there will be any more Book Cover bingos in the future? It has been fun.

Congrats Team 4!

[Dawn]

Thanks guys. It has been fun.

My thoughts on continuing...I enjoy trying to find the covers that fit the categories. But I also know that I've shuffled some of my reviewing books off to the side to read the ones for the covers. In fact, I had to do that with City Skyline and Statue. I think that I'd say that this round can be finished.

I'd love to take part of another round. But can we wait to start it til summer?

[Rita]

I, too, prefer to call this round over. It's been fun...but racing for second place...not so much :)

Perhaps the remaining categories will be used in a future round, if one is planned.

[Kimberly]

I also would be fine with ending this. I have so many books to review right now.

[Rina]

It has been a lot of fun and I discovered a book that I wouldn't have read otherwise and really enjoyed.

I think Rita's idea was a good one - saving the remaining categories for a future round. Personally late May or June would be a good time to start a new game. :-)

[Holly]

Congrats Team 4!! I got bogged down at Fog and just couldn't get going again. This was fun! But I'm in the same boat as many others, with just so many books to review and other commitments. The summer months may work better for me.

Blessings and thanks for doing this!

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

I'm so glad that everyone seems to have enjoyed this challenge! We're thinking about doing another round of Book Cover BINGO again in the summer, probably starting around July, but maybe with a twist. We're also contemplating doing a different type of team challenge, beginning sometime in May, but we're still working on the details for it. Hopefully we'll be able to let you know more about it soon :)

As for the categories for BINGO, we may just use most of the categories that weren't used in the previous rounds though I'm not sure about using Christmas tree for summer/fall but maybe it would be fun? If anyone has any suggestions about cover categories they'd like to see, just leave them in this thread or send Melanie or me a pm. We tried to pick ones that would cover a wide variety of books, but sometimes they were still really hard to find!

Also, did you like having 2 weeks between having a category called? At times I felt like it was too long, but when we did 1 week it sometimes felt so rushed. Maybe we should try something different and try 1 1/2 weeks (10.5 days)? Or just pick two days and alternate between them? (view spoiler)[

Example:

Let's say the two days were Monday and Thursday. Using today as the starting point, the categories would be called like so:

Monday - 4/21
Thursday - 5/1
Monday - 5/12
Thursday - 5/22
Monday - 6/2
Etc.

This would give 10 days one week and 11 the next. I would list after the category is called when the next one would be called. Do you think this would be nicer, or just more confusing?


(hide spoiler)]

I'm curious about the timing for both the BINGO challenge and the new one we're creating, so please let me know your preference - the time frame you need to be able to commit to reading one book. I'd really like everyone's input, since it does affect all who'd like to participate in the team challenges.

[Kimberly]

I would prefer the two weeks. I am usually reading other books for review and for a book club that I am in, but I would be happy with whatever is chosen.

I think the Monday/Thursday scenario you have listed might work. I know ever week would be too overwhelming for me to keep up. I got bogged down this time with the every 2 weeks.

I think something in May would be fun or during the summer. I had fun but got frustrated because I got behind... felt like I let me team down!

Instead of Christmas Tree do you have lake or ocean... maybe?!?!

[Darlene]

I enjoyed they way we did it this time. but am willing to try how ever y'all do it I really enjoyed it

[Kimberly]

How about a beach umbrella or sand?
