Have a nice vacation Andreea

So are we basically done? Should I be posting books read to the spreadsheet?

If you want to put that book on the duplicates, you can delete one of mine, I do..."

Nah, if what is there works - go for it!

If we need some more duplicates, my current book works for 5b - first word starts with T.

Ok, I think I found something that qualifies as street on cover

Would you consider this to show a street?

ok

Are books used in the April mini supposed to also go on the April sheet?

Personally I vote for B stream. Books are engrossing.

I know, it seems I’ve met all of my challenges this week😮
I don’t know what to read when I have total control 🤣😂🤣"

Sometimes I re-read an old favorite when I can't decide

@Trinia - the not knowing which book to start next is half the reason I do so many challenges as I hope it gives me focus in choosing something :)

It is wet here in Austin as well.

That one is strange as I would never have assumed any blue. But hey, if tin eye says so....

Yay team for pulling together and hopefully getting us our points back!

@Kaylee - I just looked at our March colors, and all the books but 1 would totally fit and that one doesn't even look to have the color it says, so I totally agree with disqualifying it.

If they disqualified more than one, we should challenge with Tin eye.

Seems like we got a lot more color cards this round...

Have fun in Disney Kaylee!

So, how are we doing for finishing up March?

Well, I pulled out my PB copy of Tell Me Lies and it has a different cover - no car. :(

Guess I'll use it for Nosy Neighbor instead.
