📚 only books started after the challenge begins count.
The challenge starts on Monday February 1, 2021 at 9am UTC time. To see when this starts, use this countdown
📚Books must be more than 100 pages in length and Children's books, Graphic Novels, Manga, Cook Books, Plays and Poetry books can not be used unless by word count they can be verified as more than 25,000 words using arbookfind.com or more than 3 hours of audio using a reputable website (e.g. audible, overdrive).
📚the cover of a coloured book needs to be over 50% of that particular colour!

We are short of 23 books to finish the challenge but this is totally fine as we all stayed within our reading goal. So congratulations to everyone for that :D

Sadly we are 3 books short of finishing the mini challenge. But still, well done. We did very well considering everything that was going on!

I hope everyone had a good time, maybe we'll see each other in another challenge soon :)
Is anyone doing a challenge in the upcoming months?

I'm 100 pages away from finishing the 4th HP book. But I sadly won't manage that in the 30 minutes we still have left xD

awesome!

I actually just finished my last book, it was actually only 40 more pages as the rest was an excerpt from another book

We can use all three of them :D

I just finished the third Harry Potter book. Ill see if I manage to finish my Stephen King book before the challenge is over.

We don't need any more books for part 2 of the mini challenge :) so no need to look for anymore words :D

That's great!

How is everyone doing? We got exactly a week left before the challenge ends :) I'll probably finish 2 more books, one being a green cover book. How about everyone else? :)

I don't know how far we'll get with our April hand, but we still need 5 V cards, so please have a lookout just in case

Only 7 more spots to go for part 2 of the mini challenge :D

Just a reminder for part 2 of the mini challenge: the words don't necessary have to be in the text, we can also use items on the cover or colours if it fits a word

We only need one more book for part 1, so please keep a lookout for words from the recipe for part 2 :) especially if you are reading on an e-reader where you can search for words.

We already have many books that work for part 2 as well, so I can alwways move them around of course :)

Sounds great Ashley! Seems like we'll finish our coloured cards!

Great, thanks Ambi! :) I just think I'm not in the mindset for those kinda books right now. Will work on the HP book, and probably the HP 2 as well as that cover is green :) quick reads as I've read them before

I'm actually not sure if I'll finish Siddhartha, just can't get into it. So it'd be good if someone else can look for a red book that covers either red 9 or red 3

@Sandy looks green enough :)

Just looking through kindle ebooks, I can read a red cover HP book 1 which will work for Red 9 or 3 Red (WD4)

The reason I don't want to concentrate on part 3 now is that I'm too lazy to write a story. I really only want to do that if we finish the challenge :p

If a book doesn't fit part 1 or 2 that's perfectly fine of course, we'll still get 10 points per book read for part 3

A little round-up as we have 12 days left before the challenge is over:

We have 53 books left to read of which we have 7 Coloured Cards left
8 Yellow
2 Green (Ashley might get to this, but not 100% sure yet!)
4 Green
6 Green --> claimed by Ashley
3 Red --> claimed by me
9 Red
1 WD4 ( we already used 6 Yellow, both blues, 4 & 8 Red)

As for the mini challenge, we got 11 spots covered, part 1 will need 5 more books, then I'd like to concentrate on part 2, where we have 14 spots left. With the current situation I'm not sure we will get to part 3, so please look out for words from the recipe so we might get the bonus points for finishing part 1 and 2 :)
