Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments I should finish my eyeglasses book tomorrow. I’m really enjoying Charlie Daniels’ memoir. He’s very inspirational and insightful.

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments I'm glad to hear it's such an inspirational book, Tiffany. That's wonderful!

Thank you! I’ve always been a huge Charlie Daniels fan so reading his stories is so much fun for me!

Kellyn Roth (kellynrothauthor) | 195 comments I'm thinking I'm going to finish Eyeglasses first and then work back to Book/Letter. I need to redownload my book for Letter, and I want to get the book for Eyeglasses read quickly.


message 160: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Sounds like a fabulous plan, Kell.


message 161: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Next category is...

Fence (3)

1: read a book that fits the category (Fence) ex. In Broken Places by Michèle Phoenix
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/3)


Who's reading what?

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
Finished my book for eyeglasses yesterday and just posted the review.

I decided to change my book for book/letter to Say You Love Me (Pine Valley, #3) by Heather B. Moore (has letters in the mailbox).

For the new category I'm not sure what I'll read yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I decide. :)


message 163: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Well done, Megan! Great find on the letters in that mailbox! I'm not sure I would have noticed that.


message 164: by Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘ (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
Thanks. :)


message 165: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments I'm not sure yet what I'm going to read. I still have two others to work on, so I'll think about the fence book and report back once I've decided.


message 166: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Found my book for fence/3:
The Journey West (California Pioneer #1) by Elaine L. Schulte
Begins with T.

This book was one of my favorites when I was a teen. I think I read it four times back then. I'm hoping I'll still love it now.


message 167: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly (ksnapier) | 705 comments O.K. Going with the whole Harry Potter theme I seemed to have started I will read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3) by J.K. Rowling
Third book in the series.


message 168: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments You'll end up getting through the entire series by the time we're done! :)


message 169: by Kellyn (new)

Kellyn Roth (kellynrothauthor) | 195 comments Not sure what I'll do for fence yet ... working on it. :)

Looks like I'll finish my eyeglass book in the next couple days! Already at about 50%. Not sure what I think of it, but at least it's an easy read! (I noticed I didn't say earlier ... it's called Somewhere Still.)


message 170: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Nice job, Kell! Easy reads are so nice, even when you don't exactly love the story. It's refreshing to have a breezy sort of book.


message 171: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments I finished my eyeglasses book last night. Am about to write my review


message 172: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Fantastic job, Tiffany! I love that we're working together to get all of our books in. We're doing great, gals!

I agree, we’re working well as a team. I’ve started my free space book and am hope to finish it in the next couple of days. I hope everyone is doing well.?💕💕💕💕


message 174: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Fabulous work, Tiffany!

I just finished my book/letter/2 book and am making notes for my review, which I'll write up sometime tomorrow. It's one of those stories that I want to contemplate a bit before I do up my review.

I'll be beginning my fence/3 book tomorrow, and I'm making good progress on my eyeglasses/1 book as well. I anticipate being caught up by the time we get our next category.


message 175: by Kellyn (new)

Kellyn Roth (kellynrothauthor) | 195 comments Okay, I've got my eyeglass book finished!

The Letter (book/letter)
The Saga of Pappy Gunn (starts with T, fence)


message 176: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Well done, Kellyn!

I just posted my book/letter review.

Working on:
The Journey West (fence)
Pulse (eyeglasses)


message 177: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments I finished my free space book last night and just need to review it. I’m almost halfway through with my fence book, too.


message 178: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Well done, Tiffany!


message 179: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments I just posted my eyeglasses book, which should give us a chip for that category. As for my fence book, I am already on chapter six out of nineteen. Hopefully I can get on a great reading roll tomorrow. :)

How are y'all doing? Getting ready for our next category to be revealed tomorrow night?

Latest update of what we need:

(view spoiler)


message 180: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments I’m at 80% on my fence book.


message 181: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Nice work, Tiffany!


message 182: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments The Seventh category is...

Mountain/Hill (1)

Options for completing this category:
1: read a book with a Mountain/Hill on the cover or in the title.
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 26th at approximately 12:01 AM (ET)


message 183: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Y'all, it's getting real now. Here's what Melanie said:

"This category makes Team Two ONE away from being able to call bingo (needs Hat called and then could get a four corners bingo).
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. :) "

So, here's what I'm thinking:
Let's focus on getting our book/letter and mountain/hill books done this week for sure. If we can also get our fence and free space books finished, that would be awesome, but we want to make sure we get those other two done, because if that one more category is called that will give us a bingo, the cats will be called daily until someone wins.

It might be a great idea to go ahead and choose our books for dog/cat(1), though we have to leave at least 100 pages to read once the category is called.

What do y'all think about all that???

We're sooooo close! We can do this!


message 184: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments For mountain/hill, I will be reading Snow Angel by Jamie Carie , because there's a mountain on the cover.

I'm still looking for a dog/cat book to be prepared with.


message 185: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments I’m going to post my free space book and my fence book today. I’m going to look for my mountain and dog/cat books


message 186: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Awesome, Tiffany, thanks! Remember not to finish the last 100 pages of the dog/cat book until it gets called, but I LOVE that you're getting prepared. Well done!


message 187: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments I’ll make sure to just get it started. I may use the book I’m reviewing for one of them as it’s first in a see and it’s oh so good(!!!) so far, lol.


message 188: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Sounds like a wonderful plan, Tiffany!


message 189: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments My mountain book will be The Accidental Guardian (High Sierra Sweethearts Book #1) by Mary Connealy and I’m unsure about my dog/cat book as of yet. I’m currently reviewing Stolen Enchantress Beauty and the Beast meets The Pied Piper (Forbidden Forest Book 1) by Amber Argyle , which is loosely fairytale based.


message 190: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Found my dog book: Trail of Evidence (Capitol K-9 Unit #3) by Lynette Eason . I can read it in a day, so I'll be waiting till that category is called to even begin it, as I won't want to put it down at all once I start.


message 191: by Kellyn (new)

Kellyn Roth (kellynrothauthor) | 195 comments Sounds good! I'll be on the lookout for mountain and dog.

So sorry about getting behind on reading ... I didn't do much over the weekend due to being sick, and since them I've been scrambling for a blog tour.


message 192: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Kell, I hope you're feeling better this week! I completely understand how life and work and illness jump in the way of reading sometimes. We know you'll get caught up when you can.


message 193: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Tiffany, thanks for getting your free space review posted. We've now earned our chip for that spot. Well done, team!

Megan and Kimberly, do y'all know which book you'll be reading for mountain/hill/1?


message 194: by Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘ (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
I started Bachelor Remedy (Seasons of Alaska #5) by Carol Ross today, and am almost finishes with it, so that's what I'll read for mountain. :)

I finished Tribal Affairs by Matt Dallmann , which works for Fence and I'll post my review soon.

I have a lot of options for dog/cat, so if/when it gets called I'm ready. I be might starting Cooper's Charm by Lori Foster next week, so if it gets called I'll be ahead of the game. :)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
Oh, and I'll be reading Say You Love Me (Pine Valley, #3) by Heather B. Moore this weekend. I'm hoping it'll be a fast read.


message 196: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Sounds great, Megan! Looks like you're really flying through the books right now.


message 197: by Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘ (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
Just realized the other book I finished today worked for book/letter, so I posted that one instead...though I still plan on reading Say You Love Me this weekend. :)

Yes, I am. I had a slight reading slump earlier this month, was reading though not too quickly, but thankfully that seems to be over. :)
