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

Alyana wrote: "

Is this green or yellow?? 😂"

LOL! Oh these pesky on-the-cuff colors.
I'd say that this is yellow. (For once, TinEye agrees! :P)

EDIT: I take that back - the Mods/Caps don't agree. It is apparently Chartreuse and doesn't fall in either the yellow or green category, :(

Hey Jessica, the Mods have come to a resolution.
Here is their verdict, verbatim,

"Mod decision is that only books marked as "read" on GR can be used."

The Mods are still deciding on this. Will drop in a word as soon as I know.

Alyana wrote: "is this blue enough?



For green?

First is Blue,
Second is Green,
Third is Blue! :)

I hope you're all having a great day so far.

This works for green - confirmed in the captains group.

Ah, just realized I did not put the Leaderboard Spreadsheet in the first messages. Stupid Apoorv! *smacks head*

Thanks for sharing it, Alyana! :)

It should now be visible in Message 5.

That is an interesting question.
My first instinct would be to say no that you could need to add it to your GoodReads account, else how would one know that you read it. But, I can check in with the Mods if this is a special case. Not holding my breath on that though!

Amy wrote: "Did we get an answer on whether or not Wrath Goddess Sing is yellow enough to count as a yellow cover?"

Naw! The Mods did not like this as Yellow! :(

Alyana wrote: "Lazy Days wrote: "Wow this is amazing, we will finish everything!

Are we allowed to start our March books?"

Yes!"

Yes, Lacey! You just couldn't finish it before the start of the month, which now has already started - so off we go! :)

EXCELLENT work everybody in February!
YOU FOLKS ARE THE BEST!! :D

We finished everything we were asked off and amassed 2885 points!
Not too far from the top really.

And now we move on to the beautiful month of March!
As some of you already know, the March sheets are up so feel free to go ahead and start tracking your books.

THIS IS GETTING SOOOOO MUCH MORE FUN! :)

Updated the spreadsheet for you. No worries!
Also, The Jungle Book should work.

For children's book, we need it be more than 100 pages and more than 25,000 words according to arbookfind.com
It satisfies both those criteria (277 pages and 50593 words): https://www.arbookfind.com/bookdetail...

Awesome work everyone!
Last four books to go.

Any takers on the final "Tiger" task?
We would get an additional 50 points if we complete that one!

UPDATE

The MARCH cards are here!
As we are wrapping February up, take a look at the March Cards, in case you want to plan ahead. The tracking spreadsheet is updated and ready!

I will add more details about them, as we get closer to the beginning of the month!

Yaaay! I also found a Dragon book that is yellow - so that will work for one of the Yellow's - Uprooted

I may also have a Snake book, but not committing to that before I finish this bunch.

"Heretic Royal" will work as long as it has an E character in it, because we need an 8 Green! I will keep "Small Things Like These" as a backup incase it does not fit the requirement.

"Wrath Goddess Sing" is very on the cusp for yellow for me, but I will check in the Captains' group as to what the Mods/Caps have to say. Maybe it will work!

I have a "Day" in the title book and also potentially a "dragon" book - but I would like someone to take my colored cover books, since I won't be able to get through all of them in the next 5 days.

UPDATE

Here are the pending cards and the tasks left for February!
We are soooooooo close!

Yup - it is oranger than the orange itself! :P

Lazy Days wrote: "Oh didn't realise there was a thing that did that. Lol mine doesn't have a single pinch of it!"

Take TinEye with a pinch of salt. It is notorious to spit out random colors when it might obviously look a certain color.

This book obviously wouldn't work for Yellow (but what a BEAUTIFUL book this is!) Hope you enjoy reading it.
