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

WOW - and we won!

And I must say this was one of the best groups I’ve been on. :)

Am I the only one sad that it’s over and wishing we could go for four months? Seemed quick this year. Great job everyone!

I'm not sure I can finish any more books. Possibly one but don't want to overpromise! Sounds like we'll make it anyhow.

Honestly I'm open to whatever the team chooses for the recipe and tea party theme. I'll be sure not to finish anymore books until tomorrow. :)

My library just opened for pick-ups only - we call in to schedule in advance for our curbside delivery. So happy. :)

Right above you, post 304"

Thanks!! I'll look through my lists and see what I have.

OK - I'll take Red 2 for - hoping this works.

Love it - so creative!

Can we get a list of the open color cards yet to read for April? Then I can get organized and pick my next audio book based on what's still needed. Thanks!

I'll be finishing Every Last Lie for Yellow 8 by Sunday or Monday at the latest. Will probably be my last book of the month, or maybe hopefully I can breeze through a NF read that I have had out for a while. I haven't checked the SS/MC lately, but am assuming we are sitting good.

Be well, be safe, be kind!

A couple other books about sports which I loved (but aren't short):

Beartown (hockey)
The Art of Fielding (baseball)
Seabiscuit: An American Legend (horse racing)

I'm still working on my Yellow 8. Now that I'm working from home I need to find another way to get my audio book time in. This absolutely seems surreal and heartbreaking.

Like Denise, we are wondering about school, prom, if they'll be back in school by June (which I doubt and can only hope for September), etc.

And I'm trying hard not to worry about the economy and the loss in our investments. I'm hoping we don't have a huge death rate in my state either, but the ramifications are spilling over into all parts of the world. I sure feel bad for Italy.

OK - assume the books we use can fit the hands, just not the categories for the mini challenge? Sounds like a good strategy to me.

Hi Susan! You’re on a great team. :)

For the mini so far can cover #3, #9, #14, #17, #20 & #21.

And I think #4?

would be #8 & #15 so far.

The House Girl is unavailable from my library now which means I can't read for Green 6. I can take Yellow 8 instead with Every Last Lie. Sorry about that but the virus is messing everything up!

OK - for sure I’ll do The House Girl. And maybe Every Last Lie if needed. Thanks for looking into it for me.

Can I take 6 Green for ? Does the color work/is enough - character Lina Sparrow.

- does this work for 3 Green? Author.

#3 option for 8 yellow is with character. My audio version has an additional stripe of yellowish/orange at the top but is not in GR so not sure if it would count.

#4 option is for 8 yellow - title

#5 option is for 9 red - title but audio version doesn't have as big of a red square.

Last choice would be if it works for 6 Green - author.

Let me know what you think would work best!

I’ll look at what I have and see about any colors to fit.
