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

Wow. With the books already on the April color sheet we cover all of them.

I kind of figure out a way for all books to be read, each for one color card. I marked the X with the color. Four color cards are marked twice (two books) to cover the WD4's. Let me know what you think. If everything looks fine to you, we're ready to go.

Has anyone read this one?

OK, I added the sheet April color, let's see how that format works out. If you like just input the info as you've been doing it in the main sheet, and I'll be checking and I will input that in the table for color, or if you want to do it that's fine too. You can check that sheet to know which colors are still needed. If you have something that is already taken (just once), put it anyway because we also have four WD4.

We got 18 color cards yikes! So, it may be a good idea to tackle some of those first. Luckily we didn't get as much 7's , 9's and Reverse. The 5's are moderate.

Here's the list of cards for April:

Card Required
0 7
1 5
2 7
3 11
4 5
5 7
6 9
7 5
8 9
9 7
Reverse 5
Skip 10
Wild 3
Wild Draw 4 4

Color Cards:

1 Red
3 Red
7 Red

3 Yellow
5 Yellow
9 Yellow
8 Yellow

1 Blue
2 Blue
4 Blue
5 Blue
6 Blue
8 Blue

0 Green
2 Green
3 Green
4 Green
8 Green

I'm thinking on adding another tab on the SS to report all our findings on color cards and compare and decide who will read what, let me know if you think is a good idea or it might just complicate things.

So this is a challenge. As a motivational note, we were the last team, #29 on Feb, we are at this moment #14. This depends just as much on effort as on luck with the hands we get. It seems we got our big set of cards on the last month, when teams might start to loose momentum... damn randomizer. Let's do this.

We're getting closer.

The pending list for the mini is:

Alejandra Almost a Bride
Lynne Lost in a Good Book
Lynne Evans Above
Veronica The Gunslinger
Veronica Play it loud
Vivi The Air He Breathes

Plus Kaylee fixing a little hiccup with a color card.

So unless someone decides not to follow through a book for the mini, the rest of the team can start dig in April cards. Or just chill. ..with a book that works for April :P. Just remember to finish it on April, savor it.

Oh my, nice catch.

@Brittany, do you think you'll be finishing your rags to riches book? I didn't see it in the log. Let us know if you drop it.

@Lynne, I don't know if you already started your rags to riches book, if Brittany is reading one, maybe you can put that one to the end just in case Brittany can finish first so your load is not that heavy.

Here's the list again with an update:

Alejandra Almost a Bride
Felicity Sun Moon Earth The History of Solar Eclipses
Kaylee Wayward Son
Lynne Lost in a Good Book
Lynne Red Queen
Lynne Evans Above
Veronica The Gunslinger
Veronica Play it loud
Vivi The Air He Breathes

Vivi wrote: "I'll read The Air He Breathes for the "air" task in the March mini-challenge."

Ok Vivi, I didn't see the book on the log so I thought it was open. I'll start with my other book and leave the air one.

I think finishing the mini is totally possible. Kaylee and I moved some things around and used Pixie cards.

Here's the list of the ones pending:

Alejandra Almost a Bride
Felicity Sun Moon Earth The History of Solar Eclipses
Kaylee Wayward Son
Lynne Lost in a Good Book
Lynne Red Queen
Lynne Evans Above
Veronica The Gunslinger
Veronica Stealing Air
Veronica Play it loud

So if you are confident you'll finish those in the list, we'll get the bonus for completion. In case you think you might drop a book just let us know as soon as possible in case someone has found something for that too.

Ok I found a book on Pixie shelf with the Australia setting. I'll remove a pixie card off our hands that can be substituted by one of our extra books.

They're not in the catalog :(.

please give me the titles of the aussie books you have. I'll look for them on my audiobooks service.

@Kaylee i think we have a pixie card left, i saw a book with a white suit on their shelf.

We have finished all of our hands! Let's knock that mini down.

i think it does qualify. When i was looking for books with birds on the cover i found this one on a GR shelf with that category.

Brittany wrote: "I have have finished one and started another book that could work for the rags to riches story i think. The girl is starting as a governess and becomes a duchess."

I found something for that task but I haven't start it yet. If you are on it you can replace the book I input. I'll look for something else from the tasks left in case I'm able to squeeze another book after finishing the ones I'm reading.

We are 9 books away. I'm finishing two soon, one a 5 and a Skip.

We have left:
Two 3's
One 6
Two 8's
Two 9's

We are doing pretty good in the mini. I don't think we'll be able to complete it but easily get above 30, which is great considering how complicated it was.

you can see them in the Team Spreadsheet, the first link in this thread.

That's right people! We got all the points :D. Great job everyone!

I really don't want to be a party pooper but April cards are in and it's going to be a wild ride. But let's just enjoy what's left of a nice sailing through this month. I'm confident we'll still enjoy it because we've been a good team. My TBR list is insane and I'm always undecided on what to read and this game definitely has made it easier for me to pick and read... a lot. I hope your experience it's been as fun.

Let's keep going.
