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

Thank you, Alina,

If everyone else can remove books, they likely won't get to this month, that would be great. I have 4 more planned, and we need another 20 for this month. I added a sheet for April if you just want to move them over to next month.

Thanks

Sounds good and thanks for checking in

Thanks for checking in and sorry, it is boring

Thank you

We have one hand with a Draw 2, a 2 and a Reverse so it can cover the W and the reverse so we are good on reverses now.

I'm not sure about grey, but we can use it for The title or standalone if you would like to add it to the SS.

I added it because I already have it checked out from the library."
The 6 month rule is only for rereads so you can read for a reverse the same day after someone if you want

Mary C wrote: "When you say "need" are you including books on the tracking sheet but not finished? "

Yes, if it on the SS than I assume it will be read. So by need, I mean the empty spaces.

Last update, we have read 76 books so far this month and still need 26 more

Good job, everyone

I used Shannon's book for the color card, so we can use All the Light We Cannot See for a reverse so that only leaves 1 reverse

Great, thank you

Jax, both are over 50,000 words so that works great


We only need 1 W/X and 2 color covers (can't be one of the normal colors: red, blue, green, yellow) for the mini

Also, we need 2 Reverse books; as of right now, the ones others have read work for Color cards. (This can be the same as the color cover for the mini but not the W card).

Shelves look great, thank you

I read it a bit ago, and I don't think any of it occurs in England but all in mainland Europe. Is that correct?

TinEye says its 60% yellow so I can save it for April just in case or read it for another W if needed."

Missed this earlier, sorry. Yes, looks like a wood print. Works great for classical.

Found a blue 1 that also takes place in Scotland so it works for both mini and main hand

No worries, Blue 1 is easy to cover. I will move books around and not expect you to finish that one.

It goes in both places, which is great. It means we can use Draw 2's to cover minis and main hands.

From FAQ:

With task 4. We have to read for the cards just the same, but the 2 we read ALSO needs to have a W aspect (in addition to the T)... yes? Or are we reading it INSTEAD of the T?
You are reading W instead of T

I read Wrongful Deaths: Selected Inquest Records from Nineteenth-Century Korea, which is unlikely to be for everyone but a unique and well-done history book of transcripts of crime cases from the late Chosŏn dynasty in modern day Korea.

Fixed, thank you, good catch

March Mini Update – though books can always move
What we need:
3 color covers
6 paintings
Classic paintings can include portriats, such as
3 countries (or more as 2 of them can move into paintings)
4 W’s or X’s – Not too worried on these as more likely to find in random books
