Jacqueline wrote: "Question: How come Untethered Sky in the reserves be used for "U" in Turkey? It was finished on 6/22?"Found it! I'd assume Tricia put it in reserves since it's lower in page count? We can leave it there for now, and see if anyone else is able to read a book for U.
Jacqueline wrote: "Well my main character ate am empanada ....could that count as Mexican Food?"Oh yes, I think that would work! I googled it to verify, and says empanadas are very popular in Mexico even though they're of Spanish origin.
Empanadas in Mexico:
Mexican empanadas are a distinct regional variation, with their own unique preparation and flavor profiles.
Priya wrote: "Gracie under the waves by Linda Sue Park is a very cute MG book featuring coral reefs. It is short though (176 pages)"I think the page count would be okay since this is a hard task and we should just read what we find :)
Welcome back :) hope you had a good vacation!
The reef task is tricky too! I can poke around the other team's SS later to see what books work.
I'm also going to move shopgirls to red, green white on cover, sword of kaigen to Y and quicksilver to I.
I think the cover task will be easier to fill than the market task. We are okay to move Greenwich park to the market task. I can do it in a few hours :) Thank you both!

Priya wrote: "It got resolved automatically as it sometimes does!"Okay great!
I gave up after reading the first chapter. The writing was so dull!

Also Tricia, I swapped your art thief book for the green, blue, yellow book you had listed for Brazil.
Also, we really need to get the books for wheel read. We have just 3 more uncovered tasks for mini 2 (banked books okay). We can't used banked books for the other minis, so we need to move quickly on those :) Otherwise, we are going to be left with several banked books that can't be assigned to any tasks.
Thank you! New tasks:Read a book which has the main location (setting) as a bus, train, or other road based vehicle
Read a book published in 2024
Read a book first published in February of any year
