88432 Also - for March planning...I am reading Murder in the Mystery Suite for the mini (book with a door on the cover). I'm not done with it yet, but so far it will also work for the following regular cards: Skip, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8. Unless a new character appears in the second half, I think that's it. :)

87.6% blue

So the first two should be okay, the third is a bit on the low side"

Thanks, Camilla!

88432 Edit: I think I figured out how to get it to work.
Man with a Seagull on His Head by Harriet Paige
This should work for yellow. Over 70%

So I'll try to get to these in April (blue, green, yellow)

88432 Tin eye is sometimes a pain on my phone, so I tend to go with "it looks blue to me." But I know this group has a preference for tin eye. I'm just gathering ideas....do you think these covers work?
This looks green to me:
Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller
These look blue (although light blue) to me:
Agatha Raisin and the Day the Floods Came (Agatha Raisin, #12) by M.C. Beaton
Miss Frost Ices The Imp A Nocturne Falls Mystery (Jayne Frost #2) by Kristen Painter

I'll keep looking through my tbr list.

Wow. That's a lot of color cards.

That definitely looks like a big fluffy blanket to me!

88432 I read The Hate U Give which is currently being used for a person with black hair on the cover. The main character also works in a shop and the cover is white.

Just throwing it out there in case the black hair is easier for someone and we could rearrange.

88432 Do we need a book with a door on the cover? I could try to get to Murder in the Mystery Suite (Book Retreat Mysteries, #1) by Ellery Adams .

If someone else is covering it, I'll probably wait until April. Anyone?

88432 Thanks for the link to the planning sheet. I'm guessing this won't count, but I wanted to check...the book I'm reading now has the word "ruthlessly" in it three times. Not the same as ruthless, correct?

88432 Is there a link somewhere that shows what we've read for the March mini? I'm sure there is, I'm just not finding it... thank you!

[bookcover:The Shadow of the Wind..."


I've read The Shadow of the Wind, so it could also count for Reverse!
I think you could also count either the T or S from the book title and the character Fermīn could count for #4 if you wanted.

I had the same question. Do we just list a page number for where the word is found?

88432 I'm a little confused about the mini challenges. Which books count? Any book in March? Or just any book finished after this morning? (Like if I started it a while ago, but finish today...)
