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

Sounds like a well-laid plan! I don't know if I need to finish up my books before Friday, and not sure where they would fit on the tasks needed at this point - but sounds like all is covered. :)

This has been a great team this year and we made it look easy. :)

4 stars - very good, and still timely today although we have come a little farther with race relations today.
Mini = B16 someone becomes a police officer

4 stars - not overwhelmed, but a good story history of what it's like to be raised by a good mother despite many, many other kids (10!) without great wealth.

I'm on TT Team Rob Anybody - I need to pick these books up - they sound very unique.

Great - sounds like everything is under control :) and I'll be sure to look up any mini tasks that fit the books I'm reading later tonight.

4 stars - not much to say...a quiet little novel.

4 stars - an old Oprah book club pick. I may have read this ~20 years ago?, but not sure, it was a little familiar, but ultimately I don't remember reading it in full or remember much of the plot. I wish I had recorded all the books I've read in my life! :)

You need to join the group to be able to join..."

5 stars - a little hard to get going/used to in the beginning, but after page 250 it gets better.

Mini task complete!

@Laura - I've had Something Borrowed on my physical shelf forever - I liked your take on it and may need to bump it up.

I'll be able to finish my Detective Fiction book by 3/31 (hopefully before) so no worries there.

LOL Lorna - but I've felt the same way at times.

Hopefully I'll finish Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine this weekend but everything it would match for the mini is already taken. :(

Hey all - just coming back from a road trip where I did not get much reading done. On a slow book and my audio isn't getting much attention lately either.

I see some great song guesses and cast my vote. The dark/boss/dance song - I put down Springsteen & Dancing in the Dark as I agree with Barbara!

4 stars - pretty easy to follow on audio, just a family dynamic type book, funny with some lines, it's been on my TBR forever so glad I finally got to it.

4 stars - SF/dystopian novel - good writing but a little different, lol

Yes, you can and count it towards the March plan.

@Melindam - at least you're on the mend and nothing to do but lay around and read (I hope you can). Get better soon!
