Amanda’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

Sci-Fi is probably my least read genre, but my husband who is not a reader at all says that series is amazing

Hello team!! I know we're only 4 days into the month, so a little early for an update, but it's just easier for me to do them on Mondays.

📚At the end of February we were in 2nd place! (People have since added some March info/someone broke the current points SS). Uno is all about the luck of the randomizer and so far it has been in our favor! Hopefully it continues to be the case!

📚All color cards have been claimed! Thank you Janine, Jackie, and Amber! Always appreciated :)

📚We've already completed 17 cards (3 draw 2s so a little inflated)! Momentum is going great, let's keep it up.


That's all I've got. Anyone have a book they're super excited for this month?

Captains say it doesn't work, but book 2 does work for blue 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh I was going to say it was lol. I'll ask the experts

@Clara, I put in my book for the last black writing book, but it was an extra so if you finish An Artist of the Floating World today let me know and I'll update :)

Sorry yes they work!

Janeylou wrote: "So i think thats me done for the month"

Yup got it added and you're all set!

Just have 2 from Jackie and 1 from Clara yet. Great job team!!

To me these both scream red/green, but I think I'll take to the captains group, because I don't know if the people take up too much

Time to plan for March!

Don't forget for March, it's the finish date that counts. So can be started any time during the challenge so long as it's finished after March 1st. Here's a countdown: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

Here are our color cards for March! Please let everyone know any you think you can take! I'll let our "big readers" run wild starting March 1st (they/we can still do some claims now, but we definitely will leave some), so if there's one you specifically want please speak up :)

📒Skip Yellow

And here's the current standings: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

We are currently in 1st!! But a lot of people probably haven't updated so we shouldn't count our chickens yet lol

Thank you! I’m gonna post later to see what we all want/have claimed but everyone also feel free to just grab them on the SS in the meantime under March planning

The book I'm currently listening to has a 61% black cover and I'll have it finished by tomorrow evening at the latest.
Do you want to use it? I've already entered one more ..."

Unfortunately, I think it might be a little too blue/purple :(

BUT as to BPM, we're getting more cards than our estimated BPM so if you go over each month don't worry about it :) And feel free to add. For march we have 107 cards (but 5 Draw 2s so more like 105) and we are only signed up at 84 BPM

So for the main hand all we have left is Amber's WD4 and an unclaimed 7! If anyone has a 7 coming up just let us know, if not I will have no problem taking it :) -Scratch that, I have a 7 that I have to finish this month so I can do that one (but if you happen to read one first feel free to take it)


Here's the outstanding claimed mini tasks. Please let us know if you will be unable to finish by the 29th!

Janine:
44.1644°North
Down and Dirty
Christmas lane

Jackie:
South of the Buttonwood Tree
The Pearl King
The Poacher's Son

Clara
An Artist of the Floating World

And then we have two open spots still on the mini. Both are for black covers! If you have something planned that works, go ahead and slot it in :)

We've got our March hand so later this weekend I'll add it to the planning SS and open up the color cards for claims. I'd just rather get through this first

Yeah the under was part of the mods example so that one is definitely good! We still have 9 days left and very few slots in the mini so I'm not worried :)

Do we think "out" works for a directional word?

The clarification from mods was:
For directions, think to yourself... would I say to someone

"to get to X's house you.... blah blah"

So would you say "under"? I would say yes. ... "head left and go under the X bridge"....


I'm thinking it doesn't work, but unsure

Weyward seems to have a lot of plants on the cover so if it works for herbs/spices let me know and I'll move one of mine to spirits!

That one definitely works to me!

clara wrote: "I completed Slaughterhouse-Five on 2/19
215 pages
Red 5
S, K, V, 5, Standalone"

Can you put the cover you read on your shelf so we can use it for the red card? thanks!

I would have totally missed that

Hello team and happy Monday!

The plague seems to be making its way out of my house, so hopefully I'll be around more often. We're not a very chatty team, but we're a great reading team! As always, just make sure you're popping in here at least once a week :)

Here's our outstanding color cards, please let us know if you'd like to save them for March instead! I know I personally have read some that fit for them, so could totally move around if it's preferred:
🟩 Green 3--Amber (Weyward)
WD4(🟥 Red Skip) --Amber (The Maid)
🟥 Red 5--Clara (Slaughterhouse-Five

Other than that, not much of an update this week as we seem to be just smooth sailing along. We only have 19 spots left, so we're WAY ahead of schedule. Great job team! Each month we do get more hands, so we're in a great spot.
