What did you think of Piers Ryman?"

I really liked him!! And it was coming off a Joel Leslie listen so I needed a narration I enjoyed.

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

Oooh I just had a random trip to America 300 pages into my 400 page book so if you want to take the spot I'm about to open up I'd be grateful!

Totally allowed!

Okay I filled in all the open spots on the mini just to make sure we got it all done! If you read one that fits in a spot for one that I have claimed and haven't completed, go ahead and take it, just let me know here so I don't read more than I have to

@Trio or @Caipi, you've read The Layover by Roe Horvat, the blurb makes it look like it doesn't take place in any of the countries that aren't allowed, but do you know if it does?

I've had this happen a couple times but luckily it happens in the first couple chapters.

No worries! It's always good to have backups

One of my other countries book had a scene in Wyoming so back to the drawing board there. Luckily, it happened in like the second chapter so didn't waste too much time.

So mod said it was too sci-fi not really fantasy. If Tammie agrees though I think its grey enough to take the last color cover spot.

I'm a little worried it's too sci-fi and I know the captains group just nixed one for that. I'll ask over in that group! I'll let you know. I'd rather it go in the fantasy but if it doesn't work there I think we can slot it in for a gray cover.

Hey Jo, just a heads up we're not putting any regular SKIP books in the skip spots, only ones that work for Q. Does Dirty Billionaire or Revelling in Sin have anything that works for Q? Or a V for the 7 we have open. For now I've moved them to the extras, but if they have the Q or V feel free to move them

Same with Clockwork Prince, We're doing W for that 2, but I know there;s a Will in it so I corrected that.

I am gonna take out one of my color books for now as I don't really want to read it and found a different book that fits the other challenge I was using it for. If anyone finds a book for part 1 of the mini feel free to fill it in (Otherwise I have others planned I can fit in too!)

ETA: It also opened an 8 in hand 14. I'll make sure to fill that as well if nobody else does

I haven't and it is on Hoopla! I'll check it out. I've never heard Piers Ryman before, is it good narration>

Trio it does look the Captains group said it was blue enough!

There's a couple Q's still open (hand 1,4,6) so you can definitely do that! There's also a Blue2 in Hand 16 that we need to read a Blue W for if you have anything for that!

Tammie wrote: "Amanda...we also need several Skip-Q books"

YES. I forgot to mention that lol Sorry. I'll check by 2 book, I don't remember a W but that doesn't mean there wasn't one

I got all but one of them on the spreadsheet! So if you're looking for them they're on there!

I think all we have left for the main (I could be missing something) are 3 7's. Hands: 13, 14, 16.

Sounds good! There have been a lot of fantasy books that I've seen other teams using that don't quite look like the paintings, it's more loose than I originally thought based on some approvals. So if you're unsure definitely ask! I also made a list of a bunch of MM ones so if you need any recs let me know :)

Just a heads up, I'm moving everything from Skips that aren't Q to other spots on the spreadsheet. So if you're looking for your book and can't find it, it's there I promise, you might just have to do a ctrl+f to find it :)
