Laura,
Exactly, so that button should always be "unchecked", so that TinEye covers the entire cover, without any exclusions. So, do keep an eye out on that check box, and uncheck it each time to get the best results. (Well, best is sometimes very weird when it comes to TinEye. :P)

Yeah, I got a 21.6%!

If we don't uncheck the "exclude background" button at the bottom, the result comes up to 54.3%, but we should probably uncheck that since we are looking at the entire cover without any exclusions.

Elisabeth, did you happen to read another version of this? The one that you have linked most likely won't qualify as a green cover, unfortunately. :=(

Who is leading in the head-to-head? :P

Phew! Elisabeth, YOU ARE A SAVIOUR!!
Not going to lie, I had completely forgotten about that rule.
THANK YOU for catching that.

Fixed it and we should be good (hopefully I haven't done any more boo-boos, ugh!)

THANK YOU SO MUCH! :D

Also, thank you to everyone of you who diligently put in all the relevant information for each book you read in the spreadsheet. This is literally why we need that. The rearranging becomes a much smoother task in situations like these. THANK YOU ALL!

Oh, thank you, for both catching that and pointing your message out. It did slip my eye because of the new page.

Great catch. I think it was the edition difference for the book because the other edition for The Name of the Wind works for Blue. Anyway, I did move stuff around to your own other book, Ballet Shoes. So, we should be good!

Thank you again, Laura! :)

See! My smartness! Told ya! :P
Thanks for catching that. Corrected.

WE ARE ALL DONE FOR MARCH
Excellent job, everybody!

All of you were simply staggering this month.
I am SO STOKED to be on this team.
107 books! 3140 points!!



Ready to rumble in April?
April Countdown

P.S. As always, do take a minute to verify that all your books are in your shelves and that I haven't made any boo-boo in filling the main spreadsheet (we know how smart I am! :P).

THAT'S IT!!
All our cards for March are completed!! :D

Even for the Mini, I am only one languishing in Wales currently, but I will cross the finish line today, so you guys wait for me! {pretty please} :P

BUT WHAT A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE BY ALL OF YOU!
KUDOS! KUDOS!!

Go for it, Elisabeth!
I'm good with the Wales book too!

We are going get past the finish line. :D

I have asked the question to the Mods, Laura.
For now, I would suggest continuing on till we get an answer, unless you have another book that can help for any task.

If its comes out that it would not work, then you can slow down and finish right when the clock ticks over into April.

That count down is for when our April reads start counting.

EDIT: We got an A-Okay from the Mod for the book. You are golden!

Elisabeth, if you have a Wales book that you want to trade with me, I can jump onto that anytime. :P

Elisabeth wrote: "I found a cosy mystery book called Permed To Death which starts out with a woman having a perm but dropping dead in the middle of it. Would that count?

It's first in a series about a woman who ow..."

That is literally the book I plan on reading if no one gets to it towards the end of the month. So, if you are reading it, go for it! Looks pretty interesting.

Update

We are done with all our number hands for this month, EXCEPT two colored cards i.e. 1 Yellow and 4 Red, which I understand we have books underway by Paris and Elisabeth, respectively.

If either of you have any issues getting those done, please let the team know so that we can backfill those and complete all our hands in time. :)

Better check the cover for me Apoorv, after those Mods decisions!

If that cover does not work for Red, then I'm going send dog poop in the mail to someone. LOL! :P

That is as red as it gets!

Hold on to that, Vanessa! The jury is split on the Yellow one. Maybe we may not need it, but it all hinges on the next vote. :P

Thanks for being flexible with your reads though!

EDIT: The Mods/other caps approved (yellowish-brown they say), but we are good for now. Phew!
Vanessa, if you want to read, that book can now be used for April. :D

Actually, I take that back.
The Mods don't like Elisabeth's book for Yellow! So we have one more cover color to search for. :='(

Paris wrote: "Completion Post

Book: Mrs. Everything
Author: Jennifer Weiner
Pages: 466
Date: 25-March-2021."

So, according to the Mods, this doesn't work for Red! :-(

Elisabeth wrote: "Paris wrote: "Started my book for 29. Read a book where the MC falls in love with their boss(es) last night

Pa..."

Paris you book would work perfectly. I have Elisabeth's book as 4 Yellow for now, because it is the only Yellow covered book that we have read this month that works for both 1 and 4.

If we can have your 4, then I can switch hers to 1!
Great collaboration! :)

Elisabeth, we have the Meg Ryan reference covered. If you have something for the permed hair, go for it. if not, either Paris or I have something in line. I just have a few books to get through first before I read that one.
