Andrea, I am about to read The Element of Love book and looking at the cover, I am going to change my color that is represented to Delanes Dark Flesh. It seems to match the upper corner color of the book very well and it will be 2 pts instead of 1 pt. Can you update that on our planning to read list? Thanks.
Will do when I get home from work. Great eye!
I think I am going to read
. The font color for the author’s name looks like Deep Deco to me. Hoping that will work.
Awesome! Great find, Mindy! I’ll get that added to the tracker when I get home.
Got those books updated, Brittany and Mindy.Any thoughts on books to read, Hannah, Vinnie, and Mary?
I am torn between
and
- which color qualifies more as dark dandelion yellow?
I think the knot book, but I’m not 100% sure.
Ooh, y'all, I am already enjoying Where the Last Rose Blooms. It's shaping up to be a fantastic finale to the Heirloom Secrets trilogy. Not generally the genre I like (Civil War that features racism {it is also time-slip, so that helps}), but this series has been written so well that I have been able to tolerate the racism threads long enough to make it through the exquisite stories.
I finished and posted my book. I'll start a back-up book today too.
Posted a second 2-point back-up book.I'm still looking for a 3-pointer to swap out for my main book. We'll see...
How's the reading going for y'all?I've gotten on a bit of a roll this weekend and to kick off this week. :) I had a few audios from the library that were due asap, so I had no choice but to squeeze them in during the evenings and/or in my spare minutes throughout the day (while doing household work, mostly). It's been fun but rushed. :D
I just posted my main book. Do I need to post a back up? Andrea you are rockin' the colors!
Great job, Brittany! If you have a back-up ready, go for it.
Andrea wrote: "Great job, Brittany! If you have a back-up ready, go for it."Ok, I added a backup book that I finished, as well, and named it backup #3 to go behind your first two.
I cruised through another audio today. We only need one more back-up to have everybody covered, just in case.
Great job!No more back-ups are needed.
How are books coming along this round?I'm finishing a 3-pointer today, which I'll swap out for my other one as soon as I get it done.
Great job, Mary!Any word on the progress, Hannah, Kellyn, and Vinnie? Books are due on Wednesday (tomorrow). No worries if life happened this fortnight. We've got you covered. :)
Andrea, I put in a request on the round to replace my main book just as you did so that it could be a 3 pointer instead of a 2 pointer. I just finished the book today and realized once I saw your request that I still had time to get it in as a main book, too!
Great job! So happy we both had that one to sneak in there. :)
Hello Team Series! Where did you find the three point color? I couldn't find with an internet search.
I haven’t been using a color chart. I know a lot of color names from having seen makeup names, paint colors, crayon names, etc. through the years, plus my studies for an interior decorating certificate years ago provided a lot more color options for the range of shades in my mind. Dark Diamond Dust is a darker shade of a powdery white, just like the sparkly fog on the cover of Counterfeit Love. My understanding was that color charts were helpful tools but not required.
Thanks Andrea. I agree you don't have to use an official color chart. I was wanting to see it before using. No worries.
That makes sense, Staci. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
I should be able to finish my book today!
Thanks for the update, Vinnie! You can do it!
The final round has been posted!From Melanie...

I am looking at shelves from my friends' lists as well as people who have a shelf for the Love is in the Air challenge (besides myself). Here are some I found that seem to be 2 points. Let me know if I am doing this right or not. I also tried to make sure it wasn't a list from someone on our team. Hopefully these are good.Love is in the Air Challenge:

Beware on this one! It seems to be my 2022 Love is in the Air Challenge list. These are only books from my challenge shelf. But, I don't see anyone else's books on this list but what I have read for the challenge (or am currently reading).
I went to the challenge and grabbed the lists from the other members (not including me) so that we can choose from their lists if we want to (see my post above and choose from their lists).
Thanks, Brittany! I deleted that comment of mine to remove it from the possibilities, but let’s keep your comment up so our teammates know not to go with that list.
I will probably read
from the "Books I Read In 2020" shelf.
I decided I wanted to re-read a book I really enjoyed from a few years ago. So I went to that book and then looked through the shelves it was on and found quite a few that were 2 point "I" shelves. These lists seem to have a good bit of Christian fiction in them, so I am going to put all of the lists I found in this post. The book I will be reading is

Most of these have a good bit of Christian fiction in them, especially the first list that I posted.
Brittany wrote: "I decided I wanted to re-read a book I really enjoyed from a few years ago. So I went to that book and then looked through the shelves it was on and found quite a few that were 2 point "I" shelves...."Thanks for sharing, Brittany! I'm browsing those lists now.
Just posted my "I" shelf book for 2 pts. I just finished a couple of other books and am going to check their lists and see if either could work as a backup book for 2 or more pts.
Brittany wrote: "Just posted my "I" shelf book for 2 pts. I just finished a couple of other books and am going to check their lists and see if either could work as a backup book for 2 or more pts."Well, the books I just finished do not appear on any 2+ pts shelves. One of them is on a 1 pt shelf, so I could use that as a backup (Forget Me Not by Sarah M. Ededn) if needed.
I am currently listening to
and have found it on this 2 pt list, so I can use it as a backup book when I finish it.https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...
Sounds great, Brittany!I've barely started my book due to work and a writing camp. Busy! But I'm hoping to spend most of Sunday and Monday working on it.
How's everyone else doing this round?
