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

Wonderful, thank you

Since part two is less clear, I am adding some notes:
1. Each animal needs two tasks and they can’t be the same.
2. One can be color cover, and I marked color options by each animal name to make it easier for everyone. (Lots of brown).
3. The full animal’s name in text or title works or part of the animal’s name in title works. Any part the is a word when you say the animal’s name, so Boatbill means Boat or Bill works in title. For Leafy Seadragon, leaf, sea, or dragon all work.
4. Finally, be creative – I will be back with more details on where we are supposed to get the information from which we base the creativity off.

One per book. There is one book on there twice because two people are reading it.

Denise, I am moving next month for work and visited Atlanta to start looking for somewhere to live. It has been quite a day.

I have a planning sheet up since the mini starts in a few hours here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

I'll add some more info tomorrow including the main color for each animal. In general, look at the picture on the top of each team to figure out what color to make the book cover. For instance, for our team, we need purple.

Countdown for April mini: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

The mini challenge for April is up and starts tomorrow on April 12th. It is by far the biggest one yet, so we need all the help from everyone.

I am using really bad hotel WIFI, so I will be back with more details later but here is the link to the rules: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I am now going to try to set up a spreadsheet but no promises.

I drove down to see family for Easter here and listened to a great book. It made a very good audio book for the drive: Kibogo. I am trying to read one book by an author from every country in Africa.

I have a book that works for both a 8 or 4 Green so if someone has one that works for the other one, we will have both 8 and 4 Greens covered.

We still need 5 Yellow (letter I) as the rest have been claimed. I've moved books around to maximize the yellows being covered so I know none so far have an I character.

Great job, everyone. We finished all cards and mini tasks for March.

Here is the countdown for April:https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

You can start books before then but to use them for April, they need to be finished after the countdown ends on April 1.

Beginning of April is busy for me. I will keep any eye on the color cards and fill in if needed."

Leslie Ann, you put yourself down for 2 yellow cards, which is great. Are you still good for those sometime in April?

I can read these: "

I have you down for a WD4 and a Red 3, when you have time to add them to the planning sheet. Thank you

If people are looking for tasks to claim for the mini, here are the harder ones that are still left:

We also still need a Yellow 1.

I hope you are feeling better. As a team, we are doing good on book numbers but feel free to look at the mini and claim some books.

Edited: I see that you have

Yes, this is a very creative one as versus the Feb mini which was more specific.

That mods said black/yellow works fine.

Also, the connection can be small. This is an approved example from the Captains' groups.

Carter arrives back at the retreat, he removes his winter snow suit, boots, socks, and warms himself by the fire. Page 44. Fits for Alaskan Hare - shedding layers of clothing and fur coat.

Or this one for black, yellow?


I think they may both be ____&_____ instea..."

What are your thoughts on using the second one for "mottled yellow and black" for the Tree frog? I think it should work.

Is it brown enough? Or does it not qualify for a color for the march mini?"

That is a nice brown cover. When you say you read it, have you already read it, or will you finish it after March 15th at 9 AM London time? (If the second, then yes, we can use it).
