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

Thank you, Val

Thank you both for checking in, and no worries, Pilleriin, I am in the same situation this month as well.

Val, unless there is a typo on the spreadsheet (SS). You have The Final Revival of Opal & Nev marked as read on the SS but it does not have a read date on your shelf and it is not on your UNO shelf. Could you please fix that if you are done with the book, thank you

Thank you

Great job, we only have the following unclaimed:
8. Read a book with a black leather jacket on the cover
23. Read a book where a character has permed hair/gets their hair permed

Getting back to this, Charly I think you are good. I asked a few captains unofficially and shoulder length is apparently long hair on a man.

I have not started my LGBT book yet so I gave you that spot. Thanks

Does your first book have any shifter characters? If so, I can move mine around for that one.

All yours. I have too many to cover already. I hope you enjoy it and I can read it as a reverse next month.

Christina wrote: "just came across this book which quite a bunch of us have on our want-to-read lists which would work for the diamond jewelry task *hint hint* "

I have it out from the library but am worried I am volunteered for too many but it is first up after the ones I have claimed

Great job everyone, if you comment in the thread, I can PM you the full list if you are curious.

I put five books up for UNO Pixie on the SS that work for the mini. If you want to read a book that works for them, feel free to remove the book.

Otherwise, we still have unclaimed the following:
8. Read a book with a black leather jacket on the cover
12. Read a book where a male character is wearing his hair long/with a long-haired man on the cover (maybe, Charley's)
17. Read a book with a rags-to-riches plot
18. Read a book with diamond jewelry on the cover
21. Read a book where the MC is a doctor/nurse
23. Read a book where a character has permed hair/gets their hair permed
30. Read a book with the word "Dance" in the title/ top shelf "Dance"
36. Read a book with MPG Travel

Charly, I was not ignoring you. I just am not sure if it is long enough. It seems to stop before his shoulders which is my usual cutoff for long. It kind of looks like a mullet.

Congrats, Val, I will put you down for that task

M, take as many as you want. I have no doubt you will read what you will claim. I will easily claim 5, and you read much more than I do.

The one that was Detective-Fiction is now

The task will be modified. Mystery or Mystery-Detective MPG will both be accepted instead.

since the orginal is not a MPG.

#37 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3..."

37 has already been claimed on the SS. Does it work for any others?

Thank you Gem all were great

Reminder that any book used for the mini - cannot be finished for another 2.5 days (see countdown in message 363)

I made the spreadsheet and added Gem and JL's names for the tasks.

Everyone should feel free to claim tasks for the books you are currently reading or know you will get read this month.

Also, to keep things sneakier. I have a column indicating where we think we know the song and feel free to message me if you want the guess. If you want you can also message us your guesses instead of putting it in the SS. I will remove guesses as we go but will keep a record since sneaky is fun.

#1 is harder to cover, so I will put you down for that one. Thank you. Each book can only be used once.

Lexi will add a tab to our tracking sheet where you can please claim prompts (there are some really hard ones this time around!) and add guesses for the music videos/artists :)"

Sorry, everyone, yesterday was a rough day so I will get the SS up after my meeting this morning.

That is great, thank you
