Not like I'm through reading the last category or anything. ;) I should be reading instead of watching here!

Not a problem at all, Melanie. A little anxious anticipation is good for us, I think. ;)
That whole reading rather than watching thing... same problem here, Hannah. :)
I was a lightweight/exhausted and only made it to five after waiting for the category to be called. Excited to see what it was when I got up this morning. :-)
Staci, if I hadn't been up watching the Dallas Mavericks game that began at 9:30 Central, I probably would have been asleep and forgotten the entire thing until this morning. Yesterday was one of those I'm-tired-and-need-a-restart-button sort of days for me.
Being ahead from America, I can sleep peacefully and see the new category when I wake up :-)

Eyeglasses (1)
Options for completing this category:
1: read a book with eyeglasses on the cover or in the title (e.g.
). I will accept sunglasses as well. 2: read a book that is the 1st book in its series
3: read a book that starts with the letter O (for One/1)
Be sure to check into your team's chat thread before the next category gets called and let them know your reading plans. If it has been two weeks since you last checked into the team's thread (and it isn't a planned absence), you will be removed from the team. Have fun guys!
Next category will be called: April 12th at approximately 12:01 AM (ET)
Bless you for calling it five minutes early! :-)
Mod
I figured a few minutes early wouldn't hurt. ;)
I couldn't stay up that late at all. Glad to see the category. ;)
Mod
the next category is Fence (3).
if someone will post the full post for the category (like I did for the previous categories), I'd really appreciate it!
Sixth Category: Fence (3)1: read a book that fits the category (Fence) ex.
2: the third book in a series
3: this last option is to read a book whose title begins with the first letter of the number. The letter "T" (for "three/2)
Thanks for tag-teaming it, Melanie and Staci!

No worries at all, Melanie. We know you're busy. Besides, no one can win yet, so there isn't a huge urgency to the updates at the moment. ;)
Melanie, Don't worry. you help each of us out.
HUGS
Mod
Yes, thank you so much for all that you do for us.

It also makes Team Three ONE away. They just need Dog/Cat and then they could have a stamp bingo.
When a team gets to where it is possible to have a bingo, then categories will get called DAILY just so others have a chance. You won't need to finish all of those categories, just the ones that help your team out. Hope that makes sense, if not I'll explain more. :)

Hi Melanie - so only if either Hat or Dog/Cat is called, then the categories will be called daily? Until then it is still weekly?
Mod
I'm hoping we can make it through the next call without a winning one. I'll have a lot more time to read next month.

Bird (3)
Options for completing this category:
1: read a book with a Bird (3) on the cover or in the title.
2: read a book that is the third book in its series
3: read a book that starts with the letter T (for Three/3)
Be sure to check into your team's chat thread before the next category gets called and let them know your reading plans. If it has been two weeks since you last checked into the team's thread (and it isn't a planned absence), you will be removed from the team. Have fun guys!
Next category will be called: May 3rd at approximately 12:01 AM (ET)

With this call:
Team one is at least two away
Team two is within one two different ways (needs either flower or hat called)
Team three is within one (needs dog/cat called)
So, basically, this is not a winning category and the next one will be called next week. :)
We get at least an extra week! Awesome.
Agree! Whew! What a tough category!! Glad with have the third in series and "T" option.
Well, a good new release that I'm just past halfway through is Pelican Point. Two birds on the cover and one in the title! I can definitely recommend it, and I'm having no problems with the story despite having skipped over books two and three of the series.
Quick question: if the word (in this case, "Bird") is in the text, but not on the cover or in the title, that doesn't count, right?
Correct. It has to be on the cover or the first word of the title (articles optional).
Andrea wrote: "Correct. It has to be on the cover or the first word of the title (articles optional)."Okay. I was just curious cause I know it's been that way in previous challenges. :)
I'm so excited to see what the new category is in less than an hour. :D
Mod
Me too Andrea! Just not sure I can make it another 30 minutes...I'm most curious to know if it will be a winning category for any team. The anticipation!
You're welcome, Melanie. I just had a feeling I was supposed to come and say something. Didn't know why until now. :) Glad to help!Staci, I'm wondering that too. Oh, the agony!

Thanks, Melanie! Ah, I was just reviewing a lighthouse book—the irony!!
Oh wow! Not every day you read a lighthouse book.
Only eight more hours, girls. Who's excited?!
