Zombies!How about words in the book title or series name? Some popular ones are Shadow, Night, Blood, Magic, Fire, Light, etc.
Good ones! :D Zombies are gettin' a lotta love this month. (May is Zombie Awareness Month) hehe Shameless plug for Ames & II'll add them now! Thanks :D
I'd add Dragons & Blue covers. LOL
The characters of the zodiac.This could either be a cover hunt or a character hunt or even a trait hunt.

Character - a story with twins
Traits - a character that has the gift of gab
more character types: angel, deity, faemore title/series words: curse, dark, dead, fury, grave, hunt, wicked

another idea is a color hunt based on the color the title is written in.
Cool idea Diane, I like the star signs ones - it could be a challenge all on its own lol :)
Umm...*Lethal sits in thinking chair* I got nothing. Succubi/incubi maybe for types?
What about a person with tattoos on the cover.I really like the zodiac idea! I just don't want to have to be the one to figure out the cover, character, and traits for each sign.....

Book with mostly writing on the cover instead of a picture of some kind. This also brought the I Spy challenge to my mind. Which I never did finish.
The I Spy Challenge is a yearly and hasn't finished yet Mary. You could probably use books you've already read to fill in the gaps.

Thanks, guys! Lots of fantastic categories. I think that'll do us. If any add'l ones are needed, I'll grab from Laura Lulu's iSpy challenge. More info on the challenge coming very soon! Thanks for all your input! :D
I know which categories I'm missing and I just haven't gotten them in yet. I have that it ends in July. No worries. Not like I'll get kicked out of hte group if I don't finish right?
How about one of the categories to read a trilogy start to finish. Not necessarily one after the other but all 3 during the challenge. And then various series #'s. Like read a 1st, 2nd, 3 etc.., And a read the Last book of a series (like a dead series where the last book is already out).
(books not all having to be from the same series.)
Mary, if you find the I spy challenge fun, just keep reading. You don't lose marks if you're late to the finish. It's just for fun and a way to trim down Mount TBR. You can do it!
What ^she^ said! :D No, definitely no boot if ya don't finish. It's all in fun.

Tattoo, don't forget a nice tattoo. No silly, not Mr. Roarke's friend. Tatoos seem to be all over cover UF cover art.
Got 'um! Thanks, Ladies! :D
Any & all suggestions welcome!
Our next team challenge will use categories instead of shelves. If you're thinking of joining us, I thought it'd be a great way to include you in the creation of the game. Plus, it'd really help me out. :)
You are not required to sign-up just because you suggest a category. All suggestions are welcome, from players or cheerleaders alike!
Suggestions should be like regular reading challenge categories (eg: a book with a red cover; a sword on the cover; a character who's a shifter; etc). They should also be categories that will be common enough for (hopefully) all members to quickly and easily find a book that fits it.
