It is a combination. I am doing a lot of freelance writing and we are renovating our house.

Happy writing and renovating, Kimberly! Hopefully both endeavors will be wonderful challenges for you and your family.

[Andrea]

Finished my book finally. Really good, sweet read. Can't wait to get my hands on the next in the series.

[Rita]

I'm fine with continuing. I hope to finish my book soon.

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

So glad that you loved your book Andrea! I love Sarah Sundin's books! I've read all of them and can hardly wait until her newest one, Through Waters Deep, is released. :)

[Andrea]

So glad to know they're all wonderful. I'm looking for a couple more this weekend at Half-Price. If I can't find them there, I'll get them on Kindle so I can read them immediately. I have to know what happens next in this series! Why, oh why, did I start a series when I only had book one???

Did you read Where Treetops Glisten? That's the one I read first of hers, and I was hooked from there. :)

[Andrea]

Is everyone wanting to do another round or just wait for the next game? Just checking if I need to search for a certain book or not. Thanks!

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Except for Kimberly, whose book is all ready covered, I believe we all are continuing. All we need is Rita's book and then I can post our completed round. :)

[Andrea]

Thanks for the update, Megan.

[Rita]

I'm sorry it's taking me so long to finish my book, but things came up that prevented me from reading. I hope to finish soon.

[Andrea]

No worries, Rita. Life happens. And as much as I hate to say it (because I love reading so much!), it is more important than books. Hope everything's all right!

[Rita]

Finished my book for the seventh guess:

Read ★★★★★
Cover: Brown
Date Finished: 5/5/15

[Andrea]

Glad you enjoyed it, Rita! I've heard that one's wonderful.

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Happy to hear that you enjoyed your book Rita!

I just posted our completed guess :)

[Caitlyn]

Our guess has been answered! We have two black pegs and two white pegs, so am I correct in assuming that means that Black is NOT the color that is duplicated? :)

Yep :(

So it's either orange or yellow that's the duplicate. Anyone have a preference as to which one we try next? I think we should try one of the following codes:

Orange, Brown, Orange, Yellow, Black
Yellow, Brown, Orange, Black, Orange
Yellow, Brown, Orange, Yellow, Black

[Caitlyn]

I don't have any preference, whichever one you all want to do is fine by me! But I would like to reserve the color Black for myself for this guess if that's alright with you! :)

[Rita]

I have no preference. I would, however, like to take the color Brown.

[Caitlyn]

This is the one I had in mind to use but I'm not sure if there is enough Black on the cover There are also a couple of main characters whose names begin with B but I'm not sure if they are point of view characters (meaning parts of the story are told from their perspective) or not, I wasn't sure if that would work? If not that's totally fine, I have another book I can use instead. Hope what I wrote makes sense! :)

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

That book works for Black, Caitlyn :)

Okay, how about we do one of the ones with orange as the duplicate. That way, either if the duplicate color is orange or yellow, we should know the answer next guess - if this guess isn't correct. :)

Orange, Brown, Orange, Yellow, Black

I'll take one of the oranges and then, after Andrea let's us know which one works for her, I'll take the remaining color. :)

Awesome! Thanks, Megan! :)

[Andrea]

Is there enough of an orange hue (sunset glare) on the cover of by Hillary Manton Lodge to work for orange? If not, I can look for another book to read. Let me know.

[Rita]

I'm reading (Cover works for Brown)

Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Andrea]

Megan and team, I'm sorry to have to pull out when we're so close to figuring out our code, but my back locked up on my this weekend, so I'm having to cut out everything that isn't absolutely necessary in order to get well. Sorry if this leaves you in a bind! I've had a blast and look forward to participating in this game another time. Thanks so much!

~Andrea

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Oh Andrea, I hope you get better soon. No worries about the challenge, I can read another one if necessary, so please don't worry about it.

[Andrea]

Thanks, Megan!

[Rita]

Andrea - so sorry to hear about your back. Hope you're feeling better soon.

[Rita]

Megan - Since I finished my book, I thought I'd try to read a book for orange.

Thanks! :)

[Andrea]

Thanks, Rita! I'm seeing progress every day and praying for God's healing to continue doing its thing. God is good to me and I'm thankful for this refining test of my faith. I'm coming through it with His help, for which I'm ever so grateful.

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Posted our completed guess, so we should see soon how we did :)

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Our guess was answered...and it was the correct code! :D It was so fun playing this game with you ladies!

[Andrea]

Yay! Congrats, team! This game was so much fun. Hopefully we'll get to play again soon.

[Rita]

Great job, ladies! I really enjoyed this game and look forward to playing it again. :)

[Caitlyn]

Wow, awesome job everybody! I had a blast playing this game with you! You were the best team ever!!! :)
