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

That is weird because I found that book by looking at that shelf. But I don't see it either.

Hmm I found it by following the link on the mini challenge.

I'll have mine finished in time.

We get credit for mini-challenge books if they aren't in a card slot?

I filled in the open 8 spot we had with a book from the Hollywood shelf. I can get another book in but I only see Draw 2 as open slots.

I'm about to do some updating. I'll see what I can fill in for the mini. I have a couple of solo road trips coming up this weekend so lots of audio book listening.

I'm good with wherever you put the book. I asked about Tineye because that has usually been the guideline. I frequently disagree with it.

So tineye is not an acceptable source anymore?

I saw we had Blue 8 open and found a book on the Revenge book list that works. So I added it to the spreadsheet. Cover looks green to me but tineye says it's blue

Sorry, I didn't see the messages when I logged in from my phone. But I added those 2 books to my Uno shelf. Hopefully that didn't mess us up. But I would hope that they give captains through at least today to get any last minute updates done.

I'll look at the April cards and pick some books out.

I'll finish both of mine in time for March.

Just an FYI that I will be able to finish the 2 I have on the sheet: Wine and Punishment and Acts of Violet.

I can also bump them to April if we have surplus books for March.

I already finished A lot like love.

Would A lot like love work for the make your own cocktail: Jacks Five-Gun: MC falls in love with FBI agent going undercover as her new boyfriend on a mission to catch a friend of hers who is money laundering for a drug cartel.

I think I need to start reducing my book average for these challenges. Since hubby went on permanent disability, it's cut into my audio book time at home.

Added this under the margarita drink: author name



Added this under the red wine spritzer task because there's wine in the title and red wine on the cover. But it could also work for Prince Septimus' Last Word: a murder centered around a literary themed bar.



The 4 open books I have on the sheets are probably the last I can do for March. But I'll do my best to squeeze another short one or 2 in if I can.

I filled in another reverse spot. I confess that I haven't given much thought to the mini. If there's anything I should look for let me know.

Could my Thin Ice book and a book with Frost in the title be used together for a drink of some kind?

Yes. 90 is the total for this round, 30 pts each.
Anyway, I moved the reverse book I had in the wild slot to an open Reverse.

I am on the hunt for books so it's not an issue picking things for specific cards.

When I asked about the wild card before I think I was confusing myself about the wild points. That duplicating a higher point card was the way to go-but it's still just 90 points isn't it? We don't get the reverse points and then the wild points for that same slot.

For the wild card in hand 3, can we repeat the reverse card? I'm going to look for one anyway because I see a Reverse open in a later hand.

also for row 51: 2 Yellow card, there's something wrong with the points box formula. Not sure if it matters on the working sheet.
