Team Two (Chat)
I'm on page 223 of A Necessary Deception of 344 pages. So I'll finish this one and start on category 7!
I'm going to be reading
for this one. Lots of mountains on the cover and in the book. :D

I'm in the mood to reread A Wrinkle in Time.
Since it's the first book in the Time Quintet series, it'll be my choice.

Perfect!!!
No, but it's the first in the series, so it would work....I really enjoyed that book!
Hannah wrote: "No, but it's the first in the series, so it would work....I really enjoyed that book!"Okay, thanks! I've been promising Ms. Turansky to read it and haven't gotten to it...now is the perfect time!!
I just posted my review for category 5. For Mountain/Hill, I have my book read, but I just need to write my review. It's
which sounds really mushy, but actually was really well written. I haven't decided on a book for Fence yet.
But did you see what Melanie pointed out? Both we and team 1 only need one particular category called in order for it to be possible to get bingo. Once one of those categories get called either Hat (which is what we need) or Dog/Cat for team 1, she will start calling categories daily.
So we should try to get all caught up prior then.
I think I'm all caught up, except for the most recent category.
Yes, I think so, Dawn. It's a four corner bingo that we're almost at. Mountain/Hill and Eyeglasses are both corners we need. ;)
I think we're doing great!! Great job to everyone!!
I finished my mountain/hill book. I'll post the review once I get to a computer.
Ok, sonI'm reading my Fence category book, Mallory Towers, and my Mountain/ Hill category book, Of Mice and Men( it's a school assignment that needed to gotten rid of). Let's see how this goes 😂
The Eighth category is...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)
I'm going to read:
It's been in my library for quite some time. Fits due to "The" in the title! :D
I'm going to read: Notes from a Spinning Planet: Mexico by Melody Carlson.
I believe I'm all caught up and my reviews posted besides the most recent category. I read The One True Love of Alice-Ann for Fence, and I used my freebie for Mountain/Hill. I was a bit bummed when they called the category because the day before I had just finished reading a book that had all kinds of mountains on the cover and would have fit perfectly. :(I also posted a review for the Free Space. ;) (And thanks again, Melanie, for explaining how that worked. )
I'll check back when I decided on a book for Bird.
For this one I'll be reading
. It's book three in the series. :)
I haven't decided yet what to read for this category. I've got about 60 pages left in The Golden Vial, the one I'm reading for the One I don't remember the category.
Mod
Just mentioning this in case you didn't realize there was a free space. :D
The Ninth category is...13. Lighthouse (1)
Options for completing this category:
1: read a book with a Lighthouse (1) on the cover or in the title.
2: read a book that is the first book in its series
3: read a book that starts with the letter O (for One/1)

Melanie, Thank you for reminding me of the freespace. I forgot about it.
I'm going to probably use my current read, The Lost Castle, for the Lighthouse category. It's the first book in the Lost Castle series.
IF I want to use my PASS on a specific category, do I just say that in the review thread?
Mod
Yes, just say so in the review thread. It can't be used on a category that will give the win, if that makes sense.
*FLAILS* What! How did I totally miss this category being called? Yikes! I just have not be reading much. (Like since 8 was called I've read only one book, which doesn't work for the challenge.) I'm going to go through my books tomorrow and see if I can find a good book with a title beginning with "the" to read quickly for category eight, and I am tentatively planning on reading one of the many non-fiction lighthouse books I have lying around for the 9th. I'll check back in with titles tomorrow hopefully. :)
Karis, breathe! It's just a game for fun. No stress allowed. :DI'm listening to an audiobook for this category.
It's an adventure and fun read. By no means quick though.
For the Lighthouse category, I’m reading The Coronation by Olivia Lynn Jarmusch.
Hannah wrote: "Karis, have you read Three Little Words? It's short, free, and a fun read. :)"No, I haven't I'll have to check that one out. Thanks, Hannah. And, Bess, thanks too. *laughs* I needed that reminder. :P
Medomfo! You're going to love it! I so enjoyed the book when I read it a month or so ago. :) I'm actually going to MEET Olivia in exactly 13 days! (Going on a writing retreat!!!!! YAY!)
About to post my review for Lighthouse. Then other than my free space, I'm caught up.
I just posted my review for Lighthouse and am all caught up too. :) Nice work, y'all! We're doing awesome!
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)

I'm so glad this one works for the book I'm currently reading, which is
. :D
I'm going to read Witch of Blackbird Pond for heart. it is a stand alone book.
Dawn wrote: "I'm going to read Witch of Blackbird Pond for heart. it is a stand alone book."Awesome!! I'm finishing up my book 3 of the Tales of Goldstone Wood. I think I'm going to read
For the heart category, I am going to read Dear Nancy by Nancy Rue.
I'm marking my book DNF. It's just too slow after the riveting fantasy books I've buried myself in with this challenge! Off to find another book for this category...
(Bess, I stopped partway in that one also and had to come back to it a few months later.)
Oh, thank you!! That makes me feel so much better!! :) (hugs!)
Tomorrow a new category is called! How are everyone's books coming along? I'm about 50% done of my new book.
