Verónica’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

Great for the 14 or 15. If you want to continue with the galaxy book I think we can take one off from someone's back. I'm almost finished with Neverwhere, so maybe Jojo or Corina want to drop one of these:

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (Jojo)
Howl's Moving Castle (Jojo)
A Study in Scarlet (Corina)

+++ UPDATE +++

Only 17 books left to finish the main challenge, all easy peasy.

For the mini we have 18 pending:

Corina 10 minutes 38 seconds in this strange world
Corina A Study in Scarlet
Corina You had me at hola
Corina Sanfoka

Jojo The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
Jojo Howl's Moving Castle
Jojo Crazy Brave

Vanessa Arsenic and Adobo
Vanessa The Chalet
Vanessa The Party Crasher

Veronica A Clockwork Orange
Veronica Horns
Veronica The Undocumented Americans
Veronica The Scarlet Letter
Veronica Neverwhere
Veronica This Is Gonna Hurt
Veronica The Listening Book: Discovering Your Own Music
Veronica The Simple Faith of Mister Rogers

As you can see I went overboard with my load (my bad) I will be finishing three of them by the end of this week and I chose two very short audios (tasks 36 & 38). But if a team member with no pending books finds something for tasks 14 & 15 be my guest.

Yes I think it'll do for shy. About the one you replaced, I'm about to finish Of Mice and Men and it has food mentioned in it, I don't think it qualifies for other task, do you mind if I use it in the task you moved?

For the mini we just need one more for "going to a party" and the "shy person" one.

Corina wrote: "Also, the current kindle book I'm reading (Undercover Bromance), for some reason doesn't give me page number just location, so I put down chapter and loc instead of page number for the words."

Yes position is ok.

I was thinking in using my reading Of Mice for other task, since you've already read it maybe you know in which other tasks could fit, to see if it's worth the read for the mini or go to something else and leave that book for other time.

Corina wrote: "Feel free to move My Cousin Rachel to the task with 2 people meeting if we need to. I can always find another book with food, drink or cutlery/utensils in it."

No need. Seems we've complete that section.

Thanks.

Heli, do you think you could put the page number where you find the words in text for the mini? Were they ebooks? maybe we can find them through google books.

Does it work for any of the other task? We could use both. Does it has a shy person in it? Or maybe two people meet? Going to some kind of party? Any of the words in text? I will use yours for the cover task. I haven't progressed much with it, maybe I could put it aside and read something else.

Kira, do you think your book "Only When It's Us" fits in the task "Read a book where someone meets a certain someone"?

Ok, I used 26 & 27, 25 still has Jojo's book and 31 has Corina's.

Hello everyone.

I finished a book that qualifies for the mini for 25, 26 & 27. Those have the books

25.- Crazy Brave (Jojo)
26.- The Heart Principle (Corina)
27.- Seven Days in June (Corina)

Which one do you think could be dropped?

Also Kira finished one that works for 27 & 31. Same question.

Corina wrote: "Me again with another question that popped in my mind: for the team names task, can we do a retelling? like a Beauty and the Beast retelling for example?"

Yes for Beauty and The Beast is allowed. There's a spreadsheet in the mini tab with some specifics for those tasks.

Well, turns out we do need to be specific with the reason for words in text on the April mini. We need to add word, page number or chapter in case of audiobooks. Sorry 😬.

Corina wrote: "Hi, do we need to write down the pages and the exact food, drink, utensils mentioned?"

There's no need to be too specific.

Corina wrote: "Sounds good to me.
Another question that popped up: would a festival be considered a party?or would a highschool prom be a party as well?"

It says "some kind of party" so I think yes.

For all the books that fit in the mini please add the reason in the last column on the main April log (next to the color one). This way the books that qualify but were not logged in the mini (because the category was full with planned books) can be added later. We'll do it like the last time, the books finished first will be given priority unless the book planned is in progress.

Corina wrote: "Regarding the people on the cover tasks:
I assume that drawn people count?
How about the outlines of a man and a woman? I'm thinking like this one: "

Yes, counts as people, one women or one men.

Yes it does.
