Lexi’s Comments (group member since Dec 08, 2018)

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

Elisabeth also makes a very good point. We need 8 reverses and that is more than any one color.

I added it. Thank you, we are getting close to the end for the month.

Great job, everyone

Everyone claims cards, and I make sure everyone gets at least one if they want. It's very fair. You have other colored cards (brown and maybe orange), and we have four more cards that still need books. Also, you have read 3 books, so far, this entire challenge, which is fine as you have been busy, but we have four readers who read over 15 a month. Not everything will be even with that kind of reading range.

We have only 4 books to cover left this month and they are the books for the mini and the 2 color cards (so 1 each for a Contradiction, Alina, Elisabeth, and me (Lexi).

If you really want to read it, it works for a reverse so whatever makes you happy

All three votes were no on red, so we are still looking for a Red 9.

Great, thank you for doing that. Darker Shade is only 25% black since the background is all grey but still works on a reverse. I'll run Daisy Jones by the captain’s group since I am really bad at pink v red.

Place names count so that could work for a Green 4.

That is great, but you need to put the correct cover on the spreadsheet. So whichever version with the red cover you are reading, needs to be on the SS. Also, then we can use it for a Red 9 since it has a Nick character. (Same for the black cover, though less critical as we will likely use that as a reverse since I have read it and we need more reverses than black covers).

Updated with unclaimed. I have been doing this around work so I may have missed someone.

Thank you, it is an ARC with a nameless narrator so I'm not sure where else it could go, but I need to read it next month.

I already have a skip yellow but you can read it and I can put mine elsewhere

I like the spontaneity of the mini and other weekly challenges.

Yellows are hard to cover so that would be good. I think a bit of the books on the planning sheet are moving to April. However, I know I have 2-3 more personally that I need to finish this month for other challenges or for the mini.

Mary and I have both read it and we needs lots of reverses so that works great.

Edited: What version of Daisy Jones & The Six are you reading? The version you have linked is a white cover and not red.

I found this version or or . You have to shelf the version you are reading. I'd consider only the middle one red, which seems to be the French version.

Jax,

I put you down for the Blue 7 (which is harder than a 6), Red 2 and a pink and black cover (either of the first two you list work for black but the third is too many colors).

We also have 6 Overload cards and no Wild Draw 4s.

◈ What are Overload cards?

Overload cards are also cover colour cards, BUT they require different colours.
The colours you can use for Overload cards are the following:

- purple
- pink - Jax
- orange - Ella
- brown - Ella
- grey -
- white - Elisabeth
- black - Jax

You can only use each cover colour once.

You can claim these cards as we do the main color cards. This is going to take a lot of planning to cover, but I have faith in us.

There are only 2 color covers not read for yet: One is the Blue 6 and I am working on it now.

The second is a Green 5 and I will check with a Contradiction on how that is going.

Please read your Q books still. We really need it. After the Q book, you can read whatever you like. I am about to post the April color cards. There are some fun changes.

We need 14 more cards total and 1 more color cover is not yet claimed on the planning SS.

We don't need any more Skips, 2's, 8s, 7s, or 4s.
