[Staci]

Me as well!!

[Sarah Grace]

MEE! I want to know now! ;)

[Andrea]

Glad I'm not the only one, gals. Looks like we're all in great company. :)

[Kimberly]

me too

[Bess]

me too! I just started a book today; here's hoping it fits the bill!!

[Andrea]

Right there with you on that one, Bess. I've gotten five different books going in the last two days, hoping that one of them will work for this week's category. :)

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

The Tenth category is...

24. Heart (Standalone)

Options for completing this category:
1: read a book with a Heart on the cover or in the title.
2: read a book that is NOT part of a series.
3: read a book that starts with the letter S (for Standalone)

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 17th at approximately 12:01 AM (ET)

----

With this call:

Team one is within one (needs River/Lake/Ocean)
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. :)

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

I don't think this call changed anything. I'm personally glad this isn't a winning category, as this week is super busy and I'm glad I don't have to do daily calls yet. :))

[Andrea]

Thanks, Melanie! I can't believe how long we've gone without a winning category.

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

I will update the cards when I have the time. It might not be until Sunday.

Same here. I thought it would be this week, but randomizer chose heart. Maybe next week! :D

[Andrea]

It's so fun waiting to see which one will be chosen. Such suspense! Have a blessed week, Mel.

2: read a book that is third in its series.
3: read a book that starts with the letter T (for three/3)

Still not a winning category... O.o

[Andrea]

Crazy! Surely it will be soon, right?!

Thanks, Mel!

[Hannah]

Wow. Thanks!

But I did just begin a road book half an hour ago. Perfect!

[Andrea]

Mel, I am looking ahead and have a question or two.

Would work for a 1 category, since it begins with 1?
Would work for a 4 category, since it begins with 4?

I hadn't considered if the title included actual numbers.

[Bess]

I'm glad. This really is the only way I could justify reading right now...a game!! Sounds crazy but with full-time work, the boys, trying to get my BA degree and learning to knit, I'm booked! HA!! So, the game is really the only way I can squish some books into my life!

[Andrea]

Busy girl! I am so proud of you for getting a degree. You can do it, Bess!!! What are you studying?

[Bess]

Thanks, Andrea! I'm working on Russian and French with a technology emphasis. whew...say that 3 times fast! lol
So, languages and computers!

[Andrea]

Wow, I'm so impressed! I hope your studies go well.

[Bess]

I'm praying they do too! Right now, I'm taking Religions 101...it is crazy what some people believe! I'm floored.

[Andrea]

Sounds like that class could be very eye-opening. Stick to your guns with your own faith, Bess! May God always prevail.

Yes! Thank you for that!!! G-d will prevail!!

I found that class to be very interesting and sad, at the same time. It was interesting learning about other cultures but sad to think of all the ways people are misled. Thankfully, I took it at a Christian college, so we also learned how to witness, lovingly, to people in other faiths.

That is so cool!!

[Bess]

you're right tiffany!! I'm hurting for the lost! there are so many who haven't experienced yeshua's love yet!!

[Kimberly]

I am reading for this latest category. It is the third in a series. I should have my review for heart up in a day or so.

[Andrea]

Glad to hear it, Kimberly!

[Tiffany]

I should finish my road book tonight.

It breaks my heart, especially those who have heard of Jesus and His love for them but still want to go their own way.

Sounds great, Tiffany!

[Tiffany]

The Lacemaker turned out to be incredible!!

[Andrea]

Oh good. I need to get to that one relatively soon, for NetGalley.

[Bess]

You're so right Tiffany!

[Andrea]

Time is going by much too slowly right now. :D #eagerbeaver

[Tiffany]

Andrea wrote: "Time is going by much too slowly right now. :D #eagerbeaver"

Way too slowly!!

[Staci]

One hour 15 minutes....

[Hannah]

Now if only my team's category gets called. ;)

[Andrea]

Haha! I'm guessing we're all thinking that, for our own teams. :D

[Kellyn]

Definitely has crossed my mind. ;P

[Hannah]

Ahh, the agony of the wait...which of my books will get read next? :)

[Andrea]

Right! I'm wondering which one of the six I've got going I should pull all my focus toward...

[Hannah]

Same! Though I'm down to five now.

[Kellyn]

I'm hoping one of my ARCs will fit.

[Andrea]

I was at seven earlier today, but the one I finished was only 64 pages, so wouldn't have counted for our game.

[Andrea]

Ooh! ARCs. I have a ton of those that shouldn't still be ARCs. Oops.

[Kellyn]

LOL, some of mine are no longer ARCs either ... xD
