Title: The Kaiju Preservation Society
Date: April 13th
Shelf and Sheet Updated: Yes
I am currently reading Vladimir and just started listening to Chosen, which could fit the cover options. I could also listen to a Sherlock Holmes title if that one has not already been taken (since it's free on Audible).
Excited for the last mini challenge! Though sad the challenge is now almost complete.

Title: The Dating Plan
Date: April 8th
Shelf and Sheet Updated: Yes
I had a hard time finishing this one. Some of the details of the characters felt very forced. Had I not already committed to reading this for an overload card, I probably wouldn't have finished it lol.

I was surprised by how quickly I went through this one. It was cute and very light, but not at the top of my list of recommendations.

Title: The Lion and the Rose
Date: March 31st
Goodreads/Sheet Updated: Yes
It had been so long since I'd read a historical fiction book like this that I didn't realize how much I missed these types of books. Will be seeking these out more than I had been.
Excited we wrapped up March and looking forward to kicking off the last month of the challenge!

Got it - thanks for confirming! I'll keep this on my list for April to get a Reverse card.

There were some mentions online about In a Holidaze taking place in Salt Lake City. But after doing further digging and leafing through the first few pages, I'm not sure if it takes place in Salt Lake City or Park City (too bad I have the hard cover and not the Kindle edition!).
If anyone else has read it and knows where exactly this takes place, let me know! Otherwise, I can shelve it and we can keep the 6 Green card open for another title.
How about this one for 6 Green?
Have the overload cards already been assigned? If not, I also have The Dating Plan (below).

Title: Weather Girl
Date: March 22nd
Sheet and Shelf Updated: Yes
This book was cute, but not as good as I had initially hoped.
I've started reading my other mini book, The Lion and the Rose, and I should have it completed by the end of the month.
Title: The Scholar
Date: March 18th
Sheet and Shelf Updated: Yes
Note, like most of the GR audiobook editions, GR notes that this is only 10 pages long, but the audiobook is 10 hours 19 minutes.

Note the audiobook GR edition says it's only 10 pages, but it's 10 hours 25 minutes and the Kindle version is 400 pages.

For Real Easy, I meant it could be marked as pink for the color of the text on the cover. However, I think this can be backup in case we're able to get more cover colors.

Title: The Paris Apartment
Date: March 11th
Tracking and Uno Shelf: Yes
I guess I should've held on completing this till next week! I have a few options for the mini challenge below, the first two of which I'll be completing within the next week or so.
Currently reading this one from the library. Not sure if we can use this for having pink text on the cover (though I'd prioritize cover colors given the points).
This one takes place in Ireland. I have this in my audiobook library, so I'll start it up this weekend.
This is next up in my library queue, which could be used for a W.
Lastly, these take place in India, Egypt/Italy, and Italy, respectively. And, in my opinion,all three of them could count as paintings, too (and the Kate Quinn one could work for Task 4). I will likely only be able to finish one of these by the end of the month, so let me know which you think will work best given the other books being planned for.

Ah, got it. Thanks for confirming, Ashlee!

Book: The Mistake
Date Read: Feb 27th
Uno Shelf and Tracking Sheet: Done
Separately, in looking at our scorecard Google Sheet, I noticed that all of the Draw 2 cards we've completed have 0 points allocated to them. For those with write access to the sheet, may be worth confirming that the formulas are correct for the point calculations of those cards.

Title: The Widow
Date completed: Feb 23rd
Added to sheet and Uno shelf: Yes
This book takes place in a small town, where a person goes missing. The characters go to a local cafe/tea shop, go to school, and go to a Christmas tree lighting event. Hopefully one of those can work for the mini challenge!
