Sarah D I found other two, The Guest With Claws and Bully.

I'll keep knocking out some cozies, easy romances. I might try to finish Flashfire because I am enjoying the book. But I only have that in Ebook so ..."

Well, anyone struggling with a mini book please raise your hand. Maybe someone can come up with a backup just in case.

Sarah D, one of your books on the UNO shelf is not logged, Stupid Cupid, read March 6th. Is it because doesn't qualify (graphic novel) or it was a mistake? Same with Happenstance.

*** UPDATE ***

14 more books to finish the main, and we have 15 logged. Of those, 6 are for the mini and we're done. So as long as we finish everything we have on the list we'll be ok.

Here's the countdown:

It might feel too tight, so if you are about to finish a book that is not for the mini and not logged go ahead and add it for this month, don't hold it. In case we see we have a little more room then we will hold other already logged books for next month, except the mini ones of course. I'll try to update daily until April starts.

Sarah wrote: "okay! are the books needed over and above what people have claimed? is there anything specific we need?"

Nothing specific, the cards pending are 0,2,3,4,6 and a wild, all very common ones. but we have 16 books listed on the log, so we still need five more on top of that.

Ashley wrote: "I can't seem to find this anywhere, but how does it work if an author has 3 names? I'm looking at starting a book by Jennifer Finney Boylan. Does that count for author name F?"

Yes it counts.

*** UPDATE ***

We are in pretty good shape, 22 more books to finish the main and 10 the mini. So if all books for the mini are finished on time we'll need 12 more for the main. All are easy cards. So maybe for now don't hold books for next month until we are sure we've covered this month.

April doesn't seem so bad, not to many 5's, 7's or reverse. Maybe too many greens but still manageable.

Mary, if you have a cover for Peron's Tree Frog (Emerald Green, Grey, Brown, White, Yellow, Black) you can take that task. I have it and can do it but if you (or any other teammate) are available go ahead.

We've covered all our tasks for the mini. We just have to finish them 😁💪.

*** UPDATE ***

I moved a couple of books. We are done with the 7's.

I've used all of our pixie books. We only need four more books for the mini:

🐇Alaskan Hare
Cover Colours: Brown, White, Black, Grey-Brown

🐰Arctic Hare
Location: Canada
Char 3

🕷️Chrysso Spiders
Char 2

Getting closer!

No, I mean take it from me 😅. But yes it would be great for you to have those two done, I need to speed up and focus to finish the color ones.

*** UPDATE ***

So I used 4 Pixie books, I knocked down two reverses, I have two on my list but if someone is working on one please go ahead and take one slot, or check again the UNO Pixie books for march. And that will be it for those pesky cards.

I read again the mini post and we can duplicate color cover and location as one characteristic, but just one of them. So please check if you have any candidates for that.

We're done with the 5's, we need one more 7 (besides the one I'm reading) and we're done with those too.

Here's the list for the mini still pending:

🐇Alaskan Hare
Cover Colours: Brown, White, Black, Grey-Brown

🐰Arctic Hare
Cover Colours: Brown, Grey, White
Location: Canada
Char 3

🐸Peron's Tree Frog
Location: Australia

🐢Golden Tortoise Beetle
Cover Colours: Gold, Reddish-Brown
Location: the Americas (North, South or Central America)

🕷️Chrysso Spiders
Char 2

I might be able to use our 4 reminding pixies for these, but we have 8 vacant.

Not bad! we can do this.

Great job with the pixie books! I'll take at least three suggestions right away, I'll wait a little bit more for the rest. And since a few of the pixie books work for reverse I'll try to use the ones that work for both the mini and reverse.

All ideas are good, but in some cases we can't use the books mentioned for the mini, since they need to have a march 15-31 finished date.

*** UPDATE ***

We have covered all our color cards. Seems I just need to speed up a bit.

I am onto two of the four reverses we need, I see a few on the list, so hopefully we'll end those too pretty soon.

5's and 7's two more of each, and we're done. I have one that works for either one of them almost done.

We are at 50%, with two more weeks to go. I'll finish at least two maybe tomorrow.

The mini is getting there but we're struggling. We need books for:

🐇Alaskan Hare
Cover Colours: Brown, White, Black, Grey-Brown

🐰Arctic Hare
Location: Canada

🐸Peron's Tree Frog
Location: Australia
Char 1
Char 2
Char 3

🏵️Flower Spiders
Location: Australia, New Zealand
Char 2
Char 3

🐢Golden Tortoise Beetle
Cover Colours: Gold, Reddish-Brown
Location: the Americas (North, South or Central America)
Char 1
Char 2
Char 3

🕷️Chrysso Spiders
Location: Europe, North America, Asia, Brazil, Peru
Char 1
Char 2
Char 3

I'll try to use our pixie books for characteristics, but it might be a little harder for those, because I haven't read most books in there. Maybe you could check that out to see if you have read something and fit it in a task. Here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list.... Maybe I'll also look around the other group chats for pixie books used on the mini.

I like your idea, I'll move Ove, locations are easier to find.

My condolences Mary.

Yes, we still have the pixie books this month.

I found a yellow 5, but I think I’ll have to remove one of my list, from the not colored ones. But I’ll try to fit all of them.

Hannah, Sarah finished a book that works for a characteristic of the Arctic Hare, you have claimed two and already reading one. Would you mind to cede one to Sarah's book? the one you have not started yet.

Sarah wrote: "wait I am so sorry I am so confused. I thought there were SET characteristics we were supposed to match up. is that not the case?

so for example, yesterday I finished a werewolf book. Since werew..."

3-5. Characteristic - get creative! Find a book with ermine in the text, where someone changes their appearance, buys a coat in a new colour, where an environment changes (e.g. flood/fire/war), where the book moves through the seasons of summer to winter etc.
Note: You can use the colour cover or location a second time as a characteristic, but only one of these not both.

**The remaining three books must relate to a characteristic of the animal in some way as per the description given - get creative!

"In the winter, Arctic hares mostly live in groups, and in the worst cold temperatures, living in groups allows Arctic hares to huddle for warmth."

So yes, it also applies for the hares.
