No problem. As long as we switch in during the round itself, we are good. I'll do that right now.

One more mini thing - we can't use non-fiction books for clues for characters in finance - as technically, there are no characters in non-fiction.

But non-fiction works well for the country tasks :)

I've been working on ones that haven't been labeled to squeeze them in here and there.

Awesome job on the mini, folks!!
We can't go back before the 7th though to put them in ones we find.

If we missed some before we put in our final counts for last round, that's on us!

No worries, we'll find more for the minis from the 9th onward :)

This one works!
I probably sent to pie in the sky spreadsheet :)
Which one was it?

Interesting!

Hey Brittany!
Each book can only count for one mini. We've used The Last Widow already for a "Feed the Family" mini. I'm going to take it off the gardening mini and open up that slot.

I'm so sorry Brittany!!!!!
We are on round 3.
Take your time. I am thinking of you!

Sweet.
I'll get on that spreadsheet soon.

No worries!
It is better to ask.
I'll ask the captain group. I have a feeling it's a no, but I'll ask.

Kelly (Maybedog) wrote: "Excellent! He has lots of dialog. And that picture is apropos: The dog is a Corgi!"

Sweet!

Yes! As long as the dog has some dialogue and is a primary character, you're good.

I just started a book by Uzma Jalaluddin - it's very nice. It's like a light romance based on a Jane Austin novel.

I would think the dog would be a character, but I just asked in the captain group for a second opinion.

That H2O was a tough one!

Sweet :)

Kelly (Maybedog) wrote: "Does it matter if there's a duplicate of colors in the flowers the minigames? If so, do they have to be basic colors like blue and green or could I use "periwinkle"?"

You can use periwinkle :) and they can be doubled. As long as there are more than 50% of the color.

Yes! Take it over. I'm not sure why my name was there.

Totally.

I wish I liked Ursula LeGuinn better...

I'll snoop around other people's sheets and see what they came up with.
