You can use it if it is not a winning category for your team. :)

[Sarita]

Thanks Mel! Go sleep now :-) In South Africa we are well in Thursday already.

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

You're welcome! I am off to sleep. 😴

[Staci]

Thanks Melanie!!

I called it a night just 30 minutes before midnight EST. I'm no night owl. :-)

Look forward to what will be called tonight if there is no winner. And of course, hoping no winner yet.

[Sarita]

I don’t think river/lake/ocean was called yet

[Kellyn]

Got it!

[Staci]

And road was right?

[Hannah]

Yeah....hm. I thought I counted off the checks. Let me double check the other checks. :)

Edit: yeah, that was supposed to be in front of the one below heart, free space!

[Hannah]

Ready and hoping for a winning category!

[Andrea]

Should I call the next category? I don't mind helping out.

[Hannah]

I guess Melanie is out late again?

[Andrea]

Perhaps. I'll run the program and get our random selection.

[Hannah]

Thanks! Not as much of a crowd here as last night. :)

[Andrea]

The Thirteenth category is...

14. Train/Railroad Tracks (2)

Options for completing this category:
1: read a book with a train or railroad tracks on the cover or in the title.
2: read a book that is second in its series.
3: read a book that starts with the letter T (for two/2)

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!

----

Another category will get called tomorrow at 12:01 AM (ET) if a team hasn't called a valid BINGO by then.

[Hannah]

Thanks!

[Andrea]

Glad to help!

[Kellyn]

Okay, so, I have no idea how to do this because I am not a details person but I read as many rules as I can find and ...

TEAM 3 HAS A BINGO! (or should I just yell BINGO! really loudly? I DON'T KNOW BUT I'M EXCITED!)

We have a postage stamp in the bottom lefthand corner: Mountain/Hill, Key, Dog/Cat, and Book/Letter.

Off to go verify, but I am sure it is correct. :)

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

You guys, I am sorry that I went silent so suddenly. The reason is that I unexpectedly went out of town for several days and couldn't get on a computer. Ugh! Thanks for taking care of calling the categories -- the daily calls couldn't have come at a worse time. *sighs*

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

Congrats Team Three! You got a valid BINGO!

[Andrea]

Mel, it's no problem. We were just sad that you had to miss the end of the game!

And thank you!

And thank you!"

I am kind of bummed about that, but I'm glad that you guys took care of it so beautifully. I wish I could have given some type of heads up.

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

The new challenge will go up either tonight or tomorrow. It is more easy and not time sensitive. I hope it is a hit. :)

[Andrea]

Aw, don't sweat it. We knew something must have come up. Hopefully you'll be around for the entire game next time. :)

[Andrea]

I hope so too, Mel, but then, I love all your games. I'm sure it will be fabulous!
