Looks blue enough to me ! :D

Tineye says 52%, so absolutely yes. :-)

That's the version my library has as well, so I'm going with the same cover."

Nice! Thanks Pat :D

Ask here and post cover if you’re not sure a cover is entirely enough of a colour. We can decide ourselves if we think it’s good t..."

Sounds good ... sooooo, Blue enough?

Hey Y'all! Chiming in from Texas, I believe I know most of y'all from playing other challenges before. So it's nice to see familiar faces :D
I've got 3 grown boys and am an empty nester with my husband. I work 2 days a week as an Occupational Therapist in hand therapy. I love it but would rather read ;P

I found on my audio stuff. How are we deciding if a cover is blue enough? This one is also tagged Space Opera. So either way blue or not, I will be listening to it!

Home and starting to read about this challenge.

Here's the link to my shelf:

Thanks Tina! ... I think this is the first time I've finished this one. I'll stop here, I'm still reading but they aren't always older ones.
There will be plenty for next year ;D

I finished and met my 100%. YAY!

Can I ask how some people have over 100% ?

Great job team and Captains! It was a fun one 😁

Finished Book Lovers questions. Not sure if we can use it for the Mini as well....

Day 3 Questions Chapter 14-20

10. Charlie and Nora make a bet that Nora can finish everything on the list but Nora is a tad doubtful but she's determined to push through for her sister. Have you ever made a bet where you're bound and determined to win but knowing deep down inside that you may be doomed from the start? (For example: If I took a bet where I had to do a tower of doom thingy at an amusement park, I'm going to need a blindfold, some alcohol, and some prayers, and not necessarily in that order!)
~I can't say I have ever taken a daring bet. Maybe one time to go talk to a guy when out with the girls , way back when I was younger.


11. We are starting to learn more about Frigid but I still want to know what the book is really about. Why do you think the cat has to stay?
~Not really sure, just probably something Dusty feels strongly about.

12. Libby is a little bit of a hot/cold person. She can turn her emotions quickly and I'm not sure if all of that is due to the pregnancy. Any ideas on what has her so upset at times and why she needs to distant herself?
~I have a suspicion that something bigger is going on with Libby, I'm nervous about her marriage

13. Finally, we end this section with Nora and Charlie in Charlie's childhood bedroom. This is a two part question. One, do y'all still have bedrooms at your childhood home? Mine got repurposed after I graduated college but I always think it's interesting who still has one and who doesn't. Second, Charlie immediately sensed something had happened when he saw Nora in the room. What do you think of the progression of their friendship and do you think Nora will start to open up and lean on him more?
~Ha! I am too old to still have a bedroom, but when I left for college and returned it was still there. Currently I have 3 Young men and 2 of their bedrooms are intact. One is getting turned into a guest room because of mold in the bathroom we did a complete remodel.
Obviously I am guessing Charlie and Nora will turn into something more, they seem to really be more alike than they realize.

Day 2: chapters 6 - 13

6. So, "Frigid", the book within a book being written by Dusty and edited by Charlie. Fan fiction or a brutal hatchet piece?
~I think more of Fan Fiction, not sure if Dusty is aware of how she is describing Nora or if it's coincidence.

7. We get more of the backstory of Nora's life. Does this history give you hope for her future as well as explain her current attitude towards love?
~Absolutely! I think Nora is lonely and will eventually find Mr Right.

8. Libby is at too much of a loose end - setting up a fake dating profile for Nora & everything!? What do you think this says about the sisters and their relationship?
~I think they have a great relationship but definitely not a normal one. Libby seems to want to give Nora what she has, but Nora is very different and needs something different

9. So we've seen the failing business to be saved, been on a date to a karaoke night - are you enjoying seeing the Small-Town Romance cliches (and I loved that the song mutilated was the theme for that classic Small-Town, Second Chance Romance, Sweet Home Alabama!) being subverted?
~I always enjoy the small town romance stories and this one does not disappoint.

I've finished book lovers, just need to do my questions.

Will see if I can find a book for the mini as well!

Hey gang, sorry been quiet. Family trip to FL and not much reading time 🤪 I’ve been reading Book Lovers and will answer questions when I return. Will make sure to put read books on my shelf.

DAY 1 QUESTIONS!!! prologue – 5 21%

1. The book opens up with the quote: When books are your life-or in my case, your job- you get pretty good at guessing where a story is going." Where do you think this story is going? Is this your first Emily Henry Book? Do you think it will be like any of the others if you have read them before?
So, I am guessing this will be the stereotypical small town love story that Nora jokes about. I have not read one of her books but have been wanting to.

2. Nora feels like she is losing Libby. She begins to notice all that they no longer know about each other, from Libby getting her ex's name wrong to the moments she has missed in the children's lives. Have you ever felt this way with a family member or friend? Did you ever do anything crazy to try to force the relationship back to what it used to be? How far do you think she will go to get this back with Libby?
I had a cousin who growing up was like a sister to me, as an only child this was so nice. When we became teenagers she started running with the "bad crowd" and really drew apart. Obviously more extreme than Nora and Libby, but I get it. I've visited her recently and we fell into comfortable conversations but it still a bit fake, it will never be what we had as kids.

3. Have you ever visited a place after reading about it in a book? If so, was it as you expected it to be? If you could visit any real place from a book, where would you go?
I haven't! But would love to. I would like to travel to places in Europe.

4. I loved the list so much and the banter between the sister over it. What is your favorite item on the list? What would you do to fulfill it?
Ah! The list as I too am a big list maker. In a fantasy world I would say Dating 2 locals, and since I'm married this one wouldn't happen. But if I wasn't , that would be mine.

5. My favorite scene so far has been when Nora sends the message " What about Bigfoot erotica? .... As soon as I hit send, I snap to my senses. Why of all the words available to me is this what I said?” What’s your favorite scene so far?
I loved the scene when they pull up to the cottage and realize they have to hike to it. and when Nora first see's the small town.

Hey there all!
I've been working on some longer books finishing and at around 500 pgs each.
Finally have 2 of my boys home from college and we are off to Florida this week to vacation and visit family. Hoping to get some beach reading in.
I'll be joining in with the read and discussion when I can.

I'm a bit overwhelmed with the mini's so please use my books however will help the team the most.

Stay cool... still in the 100's here in Texas :(
