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

I just made up a few more cocktails with books for part 2 of the mini. I'm not sure if they are any good, so if anyone can think of more creative cocktails or read a book that is a better fit, feel free to change them.

We have 9 cards left in the main challenge with more than enough books on the spreadsheet to cover them.

There is 1 unclaimed task in part one of the mini which is a book relating to Hannibal Lecter's Red Wine Spritzer.

And finally for part two we have space for 8 more books to be made into cocktails.

It is a different sort of cold, although I'm not sure how it compares to Australia. When I was there in February it was -11 degrees when my mum and I visited a nearby town, but it didn't feel as bad as it sounds. I'm not sure what it's like in the far north though.
The trick is clothes you can layer up.

I will be away for 2 weeks in April so will go a bit easy on the colour cards for now.

I just looked up the Hurtegruten route and that the one that stops where my boyfriend lives. He lives in Rørvik which looks like it's the next stop after Trondheim. There isn't a whole lot to see in the town, but if you visit the Rema 1000 store you just might see my boyfriend working :P

I hope you have a lovely time, Lisa! Definitely let us know how it goes. I'd love to do one of the coastal cruises at some point.

Actually, I have which is definitely pink. I'm not set on it though if anyone else has anything they want to read for the Overloads as we only have 3.

could we say this is orange? Or it can be used at a reverse.

I have not put The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo into part one because the title alone has such potential in a drink. So if someone has something they think could work with it, feel free to add it.

Just some of it has to be black.

I just finished Soul Music which means I have reached my "predicted amount" for the month. I've has a lot of chance to get reading done and the books haven't been particularly lengthy. My next couple planned (apart from that yellow book) are longer so that will slow me down.

It looks like we are actually ahead of schedule so no need to speed up.

I need to get ready for work so I don't have time to post actual numbers at the minute, but if you want to see for yourself, the official spreadsheet shows our percentages on the members tab.

I might not be able to finish The Sword in the Stone this month after all. My loan expired and it says it won't be available again until the 31st March.
I have plenty of other books I need to get through before they expire too but I've made good progress on a couple in the past couple of days.

Round 2 has officially begun!

Countdown to the beginning of March

A reminder that books can be started before March (but after 1st Feb when Uno began) but have to be finished after the countdown to count for March.

I'm way behind. I've only read the first book. It was the first time I'd seen my surname in a book. I still haven't found a book with someone named Keely in it (spelled any way)

Get started on next month's books! That's what I've been doing. I've started at least 2 books, might start another. The real challenge is to not finish them before March :p

Thanks Sammy. I've started it already but I'm not going to finish it until March has begun.

I also had every intention of finishing my last book for February tonight, but I've been struck with the beginnings of a cold that has made my head pound so listening to an audio book was out of the question. I'll still get it done, just not tonight.

I found
which is 3h 9m long on Audible so would be a quick read. Would work for Yellow 1, 4 or skip

which may be more orange than yellow. Would work for Yellow 5 or skip.

There are a couple others but they start with a V so I would want to save them incase we need a Yellow 7 down the line.

Go for it Sammy. I'm not in a particular rush to read the black cover book I have so if you are able to find one then go ahead.

We have 9 cards left and 9 claimed books on the spreadsheet so we are set to finish all our hands.

I am close to finishing both my remaining books so they will be finished before the end of the month.

Hopefully we will get March's cards soon so we can start planning.

It doesn't look like we are in desperate need for any in particular.

I have a potential for a black cover, but I want to finish at least one of my other books first.

I've got a book called Stars Above ready to read. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to read it before the end of the month.
