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

I can take the green-1 with

Also, Eldarwen...if you read your yellow 4 and discover that it works for a different yellow, let me know. I've got a yellow book but it's only obvious (without reading it) that it would work for 4. Or Wild draw 4? The book is

If we need a wild draw 4, I can read for blue 8.

I'll keep looking. I'm pretty flexible on all of these if someone else wants to read for any of them.

I have the Meg Ryan clue and the blue color card. I will get them both done! It might take me a week because I have a day and a half off at the end of next week, so don't panic if those two are still sitting there. 😉

I did like it. I've heard it was a slower build than her others, but I'm pretty patient. 😊

Those things are real life and so much more important. I love that this group isn't uber competitive. Take care of yourself and take care of your family. I hope things improve for all of you this week!

I might be able to get to the Meg Ryan hair task. I just don't want to overcommit. But I think I can do it by the 30th. I'm finishing up a couple today.

Federica, I just picked up her second book, Earthlings. I'm hoping to get to it soon, but I might wait a little while longer because I don't think it fits the mini very well.

Has someone called the Christian Fiction book? If not, the book I'm thinking of is shelved as Amish Fiction, Christian Fiction/Amish on Goodreads. Would that work?

It's: Assaulted Caramel.

If someone else already has this category, I'll wait. I was just looking for what I had here that would work for remaining categories.

Works for reverse. I've read it--one of my favorite books.

I sent a few guesses that jumped out at me immediately to Eldarwen. I'll look more closely this weekend. My older brothers watched a fair amount of MTV in the 80s. Who knew that would ever come in handy? 😂

Or are we only supposed to guess them once we've completed the 3 tasks?"

I am curious about this too. I have a couple of guesses.

Perfect!

I did look through the mini-challenge list. For whatever it's worth, I have a pink cover book, a book with a gun on the cover, and a book set in Australia going right now.

Book: Tea With Milk and Murder by H.Y. Hanna
Date Completed: 3/10/21

Cards:
1- character Devlin O'Connor
2- second book in series
3- author H.Y. Hanna
6- character Sarah Waltham
Skip- character Jon Kelsey

The blessing/curse of this challenge: I just picked up Later by Stephen King. I was excited because it has a red cover. But now I feel like I need to wait to start it in case we need a red cover. 😂


Edited to add: I just saw that the mini challenge posted. I'm going to go ahead and start this. It works for a gun on the cover and I'm pretty sure it works for the crime organization one. And I really want to read it. 😊

I haven't read her, but The Year of Magical Thinking seems to be popular. It was actually just referenced in another book I read (The End of You're Life Book Club).
