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

finished The Victorian Chaise-Longue for T - The title

I'll find a T, so that, when Emma's A is done, we have completed BASKET

Finished The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction for onion - p200 "something he thought to be an onion"

Also finished Blood Relatives which could be Kling char or Steve char

rather than Onion??

which is to say - I've been reading it for onion.

I will absolutely finish it before Sunday (actually, 10am Monday, UK time) - 2hrs left

I'll do some other books too. I've a couple of hard copy books, which I might be able to finish - one would work for A or P (Augustus Pugin char) and the other for a lot of things.
I am sure I can get another short book done too.

Melissa, are you still reading a book for President? 'cos if you aren't, we might be able use Bread for that. Depending how strict they are about "president" - one of the characters is the president of a "club" (gang) and is referred to as such several time.
Dunno if that'll work though?

finished Bread

fits:
B - title
E - Ed author
S - Steve character

I'm reading a B (or it'll work for S)

Finished Hail To The Chief

Char Kling

It's got a load of options, but char Kling will cover off KITE :)

I'll read more of Neil but I am pacing it out. Will probably pick up an Ed McBain, for spell out

And I've finished The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making
Use for #1 in series, as I don't have a tree reference to hand, unlike Camilla's, and Andrea & Shaw are covering the others :)

cool! We can use mine as #1 in series then :)

awesome! Thanks Shaw!

Shaw, Andrea, Sarah, are you guys reading for any task in particular? Will your current books cover off any of:
- first pub 2011
- #1 in series
- 2 & 7 in page count

Andrea, you're reading the HAUX letters in title, right? Anything else?

Just trying to work out where to put my current book & what to tackle next :)

I'd worked out what our max points would be for the April hands back at the start of the month, and just noticed that the ranking sheet had a different figure. Lucky, really :)

and March hands has one error - Reverse in Hand 7 is scored 20

Emma, for the April hands, do you have to fill in the card scores yourself, or is it automatic? 'cos I think we might be missing some points - Wild score 30 points, but are only down for 25 points in hands 8, 10, 11, 12, 13

Oh, and Reverse in hand 11 is down as 20 points not 25

oh, Emma, just spotted that Graceling has a typo in the date - entered as March not April!

and we can claim the additional finished egg bonuses - I think we've got 15 finished, for 75 bonus points

I'll start The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making later. It'll cover 2011, #1 or 2 & 7 in page count (I'm reading a different ed to the default link, but it's to irksome to find the right one right now)

I'll probably get a couple of others done too (plus Neil Gaiman), the others most likely just to cover letters.

The Blue Room
Finished 25 April

Mini : set in France
