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

I’m impressed by your pre planning.

I won’t be choosing a book until closer to Jan 1 as I’m still trying to finish out this year. However I know some people like to plan so I wanted to see if we agreed on a method.

Maybe we all pick one task from the sheet to start and then pick a new one when our first book ..."

Maybe let everyone pick two each but then fill in as reading speed and life happens. I think two each would be nice so everyone even slower reader gets some time to read multiple tasks.

That is a lovely mug. Hi all

I like One Team to Read Them All or there should be something we can do with "One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor" meme

Would you take MPG British Literature for MPG English Literature? It is a lot more common as a MPG.

Great job, everyone

That was the last book we needed for the mini. We are entirely done for April a bit early. You all were a great team.

For the main hand, all we have left is Lauri's 9 Red, please say if you are unable to finish this in time and the same for anyone who has claimed a mini task.

Updated Unclaimed
33. Read a book with a Good vs Evil trope
35. Read a book where a character's intentions are misunderstood
41. Read a book with antagonistic Aliens or AI

"

I can go ask but it is title or text so I would assume the word "villain" would be in the text somewhere first.

The April Mini planning sheet has been added to the spreadsheet. It is fairly clear on the tasks but please feel free to ask any questions.

The rules and tasks are also here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


◈ Every book read, i.e. every task completed, is worth 10 points. Each book can be used for one task only.
◈ Books can be started at any point since the start of the UNO challenge (Feb 1)
◈ Books need to be finished after the start of this mini challenge on 15 April, 9am UTC
Countdown: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

I think we may have all red covers colored if you were only reading it for a red cover. I added your other books to the list.

4 red

Whichever one doesn’t get claimed. I won’t be done my current book for a few days, ..."

Donna, I added you to the Red 4

Jill, I am sorry but we cannot use your play. It is too short.

Reminder on Word Count:

Books must be more than 100 pages in length and Children's books, Graphic Novels, Manga, Cook Books, Plays and Poetry books can not be used unless by word count they can be verified as more than 25,000 words using arbookfind.com or more than 3 hours of audio using a reputable website (e.g. audible, overdrive)

Books cannot be saved for April but basically anything fits in the second part
