I actually think 1-18 will be difficult since they all have to be different. I think we'll just have to be as specific as possible with that. E.g. Knife in text rather than "silverware" or something. They'll probably all pop up often though so will be easy in that sense!

Do you have a picture of the cover? That's one of those on the fence ones for sure

That's up to you Trio! We are at 67.78% done with our regular so we're doing really well. I would say if you can knock any color cards out that's always helpful

I felt the same way!

Edit: Hah never mind, Jo has it covered!"

I haven't started my red Skip so I moved yours there :)

I'd say red

I think you can leave it on there for now, I don't think (AND HOPE) they don't have a color switch again for the mini. But if you don't mind maybe having to move it, I don't see a problem putting it up there now.

The color is definitely borderline. I think it's enough. Let's see what Tammie says and then we can ask the Captains group if needed

I totally agree on the masks thing! It'll just be part of my winter wardrobe from now on. I got Covid but that was from my husband having to go to Florida for a work trip and I'm pretty sure the plane got him

It is SO not your week!!

Yay!

Oh no Trio! Hope the antibiotics help!

Woohoo Jo! Have it updated on the SS :)

Ashley, are you still looking good to finish the Reading List today?

Captains approved for Blue :)

Ashley wrote: "Is this blue? "

I'm going to ask in the captains books. It's definitely one of those right on the edge books!

Ashley wrote: "I also will likely be able to cover purple with either or . Let me know if either of them would not work for purple."

The first one looks over 50% pink to me not purple, but we shall see what Tammie says as well (or I can bring it to the captain's group. I definitely thing the second one works for purple

Gold counts as yellow so I would say that works. It looks yellow enough to me. (I'll let Tammie weigh in as well).

And I didn't even realize it didn't says Overlord until you said something LOL

@Trio don't forget to add Winter Masquerade to your uno shelf :)

I also just went ahead and moved my book Dirty Mind into the 0 spot in hand 15 as it's stand alone and I've already finished it, so no need for Ashley to move heres :)

I'm good with mine, I'll go ahead and move the layover into hand 14

Okay, one week until the end of the month and here's what everyone has signed up for that is still not completed. Please let us know ASAP if you think you're not going to finish any of your books. I have quite a few books that were only used on the mini/books I didn't use anywhere that I could pop in the main if we need. I also do not mind finding more for mini if absolutely necessary. Just let us know, but I think we're looking pretty good overall :)

Also thanks for the rec for Leap of Faith, I loved it!!"

Adding to my TBR"

Those audios are on hoopla so I can definitely knock them out quickly as they're fairly short, but if you want to do one of them and take the spot I have for Venetian Valentine that would work! I always have more time for audio then actually reading
