Yes to the Patterned Cover.

Yes to the cephalopods question.

My mistake, I got carried away on the update, Thanks for the heads up.
*** UPDATE ***We have knocked down half our reverses, we only need 5 more. I have two on my list, so three more and we make it.
I'm almost done with the Red 3, and started the Red 2. I also have a Green 5 that I will read, so the only colored cards pending are the yellows.
Skip Yellow
5 Yellow
6 Yellow
We also need 5(I) = 4 and 7(V) = 3.
I get that the mini tasks for characteristics are tricky, but I think they did it like that to be more open, thus the "be more creative". There's definitely a lot of questioning in the captains group. So if you think you have the weakest of connection just ask and I'll pass that to the group for approval.
Sometimes when I see that a member doesn't log the book in the mini I try to fit them using the overview or data I might find, but in this case it's kind of specific to the text as a whole. So only the reader can do it. A few books already finished only work for tasks already taken, at least as per the MINI column description indicates. If you don't have a book already finished assigned on the mini try to fit it in a characteristics task.
Thank you Sarah! I copied that list in another sheet (list), you don't have to fill that, it's for control purposes, but also an easier way to check out which tasks might be vacant, and also to check the list without having to look for the comment.

We are dealing..."Yeah a little bit tricky, but you can definitely stick to colors and locations for those possible extra reads.
Ops again, I'll start the Blue 1, I'm on Red 3 also.
Sorry I just realized Red 9 is not pending. I'll chose one of the yellows.
Hello everyone!I wish I could say my slow reading this month is a product of some fun travel but It's been chaotic for me lately, between home remodeling with a lot of issues, and a rescue of a pretty beat-up puppy, which is a handful. But hopefully next week I can pick up the pace.
The mini is here!

Please take a look so we can start preparing for it. Let me know if you have any questions.
*** UPDATE ***
We are at 30% in the main, kind of low for almost the middle of the month, but I'm sure we'll make up for it.
We only got two WD4 this month and they are covered, so we have to focus on the color cards without repeating, since reverses are getting behind.
COLOR CARDS pending:
2 Red
3 Red
5 Green
1 Blue
Skip Yellow
5 Yellow
6 Yellow
I'm on Red 3 right now.
We're doing pretty good on the 5's and 7's but reverses are still an issue, we need 8 more, just too many. I have three on my to-read list which are totally doable. Please check the compare books section with each of the team members, maybe you find something that strikes your fancy.
At the end I used Hannah's Circe for the gods task, because I almost messed up. In the second check I did I realized I had already used Circe for another task, the warrior one. But everything is correct now, ops! and phew! Double checking is really important 🫣🤭.

Yes I guess if you knew we could've used it for later, sorry 😬. For march lets have everything updated by the 31st and I'll post the countdown for the next month as a reference.
Hannah wrote: "I will always comment here if I will not be able to complete something that I committed to. I usually update the spreadsheet at work because I have a desk job, so I was planning to update it tomorr..."Yeah, they lock them so we can't edit when the time is up.
We made it!Fortunately my book worked for the 4 in the publication date, and that task had a pixie book, so I moved the pixie to the gods one which was also Circe. One of Mary's books helped with the card left by the moved pixie, Circe didn't work for a 9.
Hannah, no worries, we were just getting nervous, hehe. I need to check everything once more, but the official spreadsheet it's updated. It seems we might have ended up in third place this round.
So...March it's gonna be a hoot. Ten Reverses, eleven 5's. Let's do this!
I just checked my last extra book that wasn't for the mini and works for one of the pixies, so I'll move them and we'll complete it. Yes, we have 24 hours after to update the spreadsheets.
Mary C wrote: "I don't have a gods book partially read but I can finish the last little bit of a book that works for 2 if you want. I saved the last chapter for tomorrow morning."Or maybe for some other task with pixie book, Just in case, there is a pixie for gods.
The only one pending is the God task (Circe).
The same two books that are left of the mini (North and Gods) will complete the main, so once they're finished, we're done!Everything now besides those two is for march. Check the tab for the march log and the cards tab for the colors.
Well done everyone!
*** UPDATE ***I used the remaining pixie for the hunter task, I'm reading one for the main and the one I started for the mini will go to march. I'll start another short one, if someone else finishes something for the main, I'll hold my second book for march too.
Pending:
- 4 tasks of the mini.
- 2 more books for the main.
