Looks like you guys are just waiting on me. I'm focusing on reading and should have my book finished tonight.

If anyone finishes a book with an orange item on the cover before me, the spot is yours.

I'll take one of the "orange item on the cover" tasks since I'm reading and it has a lovely orange leopard on the cover.

I agree. We can clean out our bank and then try to just read books that can fit for whatever the current book is, since any saved books won't be used for the next round in Bingo and will be "limited" for the last round.

This is a pretty nice spin! I'll take a look and see what I have

Finished my E book with grey text on the cover...

I would have finished earlier today but I agreed to go into work for a short shift. It's a quick read though so I should finished tonight.

It was not easy to find a book with grey text on the cover.

I'm going to read . According to a review there should be a character named Eddie in the book so I'll put it under E

And it works for our last "published in the past 6 months" book. Very nice!

LOL! Ok makes sense why you would be confused then.

Can we claim a Boast of Milian AND a color bonus? Or Are we limited to one bonus task per book? For example, can I claim:

Boast of Milian and a Blue time on the cover?"

Yes it can work for both. In fact ours HAVE to, since we have 11 colour bonuses, 4 Milon Bonuses and only 12 books to work with.

Are you sure the Weekenders doesn't work for N? I moved it there because a friend of mine wrote a review where she mentioned a character named Nate. I figured the character probably had an important role in the book to be mentioned like that. Here is the review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

If that is wrong, then yes it will need to be removed.

I moved it because Shannon said in post 3253 that she found a book with Silver text on the cover but it only worked for A or K

Sheesh. That's nuts! Hope everyone stays safe.

Oh wow. What's happened?

Becky ♡The Bookworm♡ wrote: "Sounds good, Joanne. Thanks! We might want to hold onto it. There are a couple of tough letters it it. Right now it works for all four open letters, but we can bank it and decide what to do later. : )"

Oh really? Hmmm, well I moved it to N for now. If you want to bank it, we can.

Shannon wrote: "I just found a "Silver Text on Cover" but need to look through to see if it will work with any of those letters. All I can see is an "A" or "K" right now."

I just read a friend's review of Becky's book The Weekenders and she mentioned a character named Nate. If it was mentioned in a review, he probably has a big enough role in the book to count. I will move that one over to N and you can have the A spot.

Becky ♡The Bookworm♡ wrote: "That works! It does have blue in the text. I've added it to this list! Thanks, Joanne! I'll watch to see what else gets updated and see if I need to add another book. I'm almost done with Cold Wind..."

It hasn't but I don't want to claim any of the letters in case someone who is taking one of the remaining bonuses needs it. Once the 3 colour ones are claimed, we can pick a book from the bank for the last one.

Ok, I believe we have our banked and claimed books sorted. Here is what is still needed:

We have 4 3 2 spots remaining that are unclaimed.

Colours
The word "grey/gray" is in title
Silver text on the cover
Grey text on the cover

They have to work for one of these letters
N
D
E
N

We need one of the above books to be published in the past 6 months

We already have a book for a blue item on cover, but it probably has "blue" in the text of the book somewhere, right?

With 3 Ns in the word, that will work perfectly

Did they remove the 60% colour option??? We're saving all these covers and never getting a single one! Grrr
