Okay makes sense! Wanted to make sure I didn't mess it up for us :)

No worries! I think GR like actively dislikes you LOL. I know you consistently have to switch to email notifications

I'm a little confused with the Draw 2/Skip scenarios in hand 9. Since there's only 1 skip in that hand, we don't need a double Q book right?

I don't think you were too negative Ashley, I totally see where you were coming from! Nobody should force themselves to read things they don't want to, and I read more than I post so will totally pick up things if we need to. It is odd not being able to slot in books we had planned to as have been in previous years. If your books fit easiest in the color cover spots feel free to remove mine to make more space. I'm not a planner reader so only planned those to fit them and can easily read for the other tasks instead.

Oooh I'll search Hoopla. Didn't think of that.

I just looked at the chicken one again and just don't think I can do that LOL. If there's nothing that someone actually wants to read is more what I meant. I have been wanting to read that one and can spread it out throughout the month

Okay size of this one is a doozy, but does have a character named Xavier. Green enough?

@Trio, how far are you in Book Boyfriend? If you don't finish until after the mini we can use it as a brown cover as well :)

Hey @Trio, I'm going to move both Charlie Sunshine and To Whom it May Concern to reverse cards since I've read both of them. So if you're looking for them, that's where they are :)

Checking in! How's everyone's march reading going?? Anything good?

Yay!! We're all finished! Great first month team.

Just a reminder of the color cards we still have available for March so we can try to get those filled!

7Yellow (A DREADED CARD lol)

Plus 2 WD4s (you can use any of of the other colored cards we have in the hand here). If you're unsure what I mean you can check out my WD4 claim in hand 3, or Tammie's WD4 from February in hand 11.

Oh hmmm, that's interesting. I'm not actually sure what we do with that lol. Maybe Tammie knows? If not, I'll ask in the captain's group.

Novellas just have to meet the 100 page count requirement. The ones you have to verify either the 25,000 word count or over 3 hour audio are Children's books, Graphic Novels, Manga, Cook Books, Plays and Poetry books.

Ashley, if you need a the "room interior" covered I have finished a couple books that fit for that. Just let me know!

Hey Trio, let me know when you mark 100 Boyfriends as read so that I can check it off on the spreadsheet :)

Hi ..."


I found it when I was moving other stuff over! Just in the future if something is checked and you move it if you could let us know here I'd really appreciate it. Makes it easier to make sure we don't have duplicates on the spreadsheet :)

I have a yellow book I have to read for a different challenge that works for like every number BUT 5 and 7 and it is irritating lol. I think we got the 2 hardest yellows

I hope that's ok, it just makes it a lot eas..."

Was the "On spreadsheet box" checked for what you moved? If so can you let me know what books it is so I can just make sure it's all good on the offical spreadsheet. Thanks!

Tammie I tried to edit the spreadsheet and it just basically told me no lol (I am the worst with spreadsheets). Could we had an on SS box to the mini like we have in the regular WSS? I just moved something around but then realized it might be already on the actual spreadsheet.

To add to the City list, if anyone is looking for more connections I would think public transportation would work as well!

That's why I sign up for so many challenges! Sure I read some duds, but I also pick up some books I probably wouldn't have otherwise!
