Ok, I put it in the birds task, so we have one pixie free.

I'm thinking of leaving my hunter task book for march because it's long and use the pixie, that way I might be able to read two more shorter ones.

Ashley wrote: "For March, would this count for blue cover? I thought it would definitely be at least 50% blue but TinEye is sort of confusing me."

Yes it works.

We are only 5 books away to finish the mini, and we need 2 more for the main challenge.

MINI pending:

- Read a book featuring a tiger (shapeshifter accepted) or with a tiger on the cover (MARY)
- Read a book with the word "HUNTER" or "PREY" in the title or series title (VERONICA).
- Read a book with the word "NORTH" or "NORTHERN" in the text (ASHLEY)
- Read a book featuring royalty (real or fictional) (SARAH D)
- Read a book shelved "Gods" (HANNAH)

Ashley, let me know if you finish the bird one, and I'll remove the pixie.

I just updated the spreadsheet, here's what we need:
1, 1, 4, 4, skip, and 2 wilds (3,5,7,6 or 0,2,4,9).

The book I have left for the mini is only a skip, so I got that one.

OK, when you finish a task let me know and I'll remove the pixie in case it has one already, so I don't lose track of what I moved. I think we can find a pixie for every task that is pending now, we can use them for last minute situations.

I haven't read "the night circus" but it seems to fit the Bird (or shapeshifter) task, can someone confirm?

*** update ***

I googled a little and I think it does fit. I put it there. So no bird task pending anymore.

Sorry, I haven't seen this. OK, we'll move Ace... to Fall and Lakewood to red letters, and move the pixie book to one of the pending ones from Ashley, I'll see if I can find one for the bird.

So Ashley your books listed are:

- Read a book featuring a bird (shapeshifter accepted) or with a bird on the cover
- Read a book with black letters on the cover
- Read a book with the word "NORTH" or "NORTHERN" in the text.

You say you might be able to get black letters and maybe north too, but we'll open north and also bird to the others just in case.

So, anyone has something for bird (shapeshifter accepted) and north? Or if you have something for one of the Pixie books you can take it and we'll move it.

Yes they are allowed, as long as they are listed on Goodreads. If not maybe some librarian can add it, but I'm not sure.

Oh poor guy! I'm sorry, when our kids get injured is an awful thing. I hope he gets better soon. Don't worry about challenge stuff, we'll manage and hopefully you'll be in a better mood next round.

We have 12 books pending on the mini, all committed to finish. We need 18 books to finish our hands, so that means we still need 6 books besides the mini for the main challenge. To all our teammates that don't have books for the mini, we need you 😁. All cards are easy ones.

Great! Done.

Well, check all the ones with pixie books, in case Ashely doesn't finish the North task we can move the pixie there.

*** MINI UPDATE ***

Books in progress:

- Read a book with a teal cover (VERONICA)
- Read a book featuring a bird (shapeshifter accepted) or with a bird on the cover (ASHLEY)
- Read a book with the word "WEST" or "WESTERN" in the text (VERONICA)
- Read a book with the word "HUNTER" or "PREY" in the title or series title (VERONICA)
- Read a book with black letters on the cover (ASHLEY)
- Read a book shelved "Gods" (HANNAH)

Books not logged:

- Read a book featuring a tiger (shapeshifter accepted) or with a tiger on the cover (MARY)
- Read a book with the word "SUNSET" or "TWILIGHT" in the text (ASHLEY)
- Read a book with the word "NORTH" or "NORTHERN" in the text (ASHLEY)
- Read a book that is 4th in a series (MARY)
- Read a book featuring an/some alien species (SARAH D).
- Read a book with the name of any officially recognized animal constellations in the title (VERONICA).

So I understood that Ashley thinks she can do the North one but maybe not the Sunset/Twilight one.

I'll be finishing my books in progress on time, but I'm not sure about the other one, the constellation.

So, Sarah, I found a constellation one for mine, and one for the sunset. Which pixie books do I remove for two of yours? You can pick from Enemies, royalty and/or warrior.

The thing is that the pixie shelf doesn't have books for every task, the ones I used are the ones I found. But let me take another look to see which others tasks can we fill with those.

Sorry, I'm just trying to move things around so we can use all of our resources and finish the thing, hehe. I did an update above.

All teammates that don't have anything pending on the mini can continue logging for the regular cards, we still need 20 more books to finish. I used all our pixie books, but everything seems to be falling in place, just keep going 💪.

Sarah wrote: "I just found and says it is #4 in Wedding Date series. So I can read that"

Great! Mary, Sarah has one for 4th.

*** LIST UPDATE ***

- Read a book with the word "WEST" or "WESTERN" in the text. (VERONICA)
- Read a book featuring a tiger (shapeshifter accepted) or with a tiger on the cover. (MARY)
- Read a book with the word "SUNSET" or "TWILIGHT" in the text (ASHLEY).
- Read a book with a character who fights demons or other otherworldly creatures or a book shelved as "Demons" (SARAH D or MARY).
- Read a book with the word "NORTH" or "NORTHERN" in the text (ASHLEY)
- Read a book that is 4th in a series (SARAH S)
- Read a book featuring an/some alien species (SARAH D or MARY).
- Read a book with the name of any officially recognized animal constellations in the title (VERONICA).

Ashley & Sarah D, can you confirm if you'll continue with the plan of reading for those tasks? Maybe Mary or someone else has something for those and take that off your backs if needed.

Mary C wrote: "I'll skip the east/west book and prioritize the tiger book. I checked out 2 more of the dragon alien books. I see alien might be covered but one works for 4th in series.

Jacob works for the demon..."

If you've found a 4th in series we really need it, nothing on pixie and nobody else seems to have one. I'll take the west, use pixie for east, and you get the tiger and 4th covered, what do you think?

I found an autumn book in pixie, so which one would you sacrifice, east or west?
