Not sure if we should be claiming some of the Mini tasks since they are more specific. I usually plan my TBR in advance (7 or so books and read them as the mood strikes). I also do ..."

I wanted to tell you I LOVED !!! Highly recommend for a warm feel good book.

Here are the prompts I have identified that I have books that match them:
1 Blue writing. Inciting Joy by Ross Gay
2 Teal Cover. I am reading this now.
6 I have 2 choices but I will wait on Angela
7 dawn or sunrise; Spanish Sunrise ( I have to read this book for a challenge this month so will definitely read this one.)
12. Not sure but I think this meets orange cover
14. Page count includes 4 in it. 400 pages. I am reading this now so I will finish it this month.

I will probably read another 7-10 books this month. I plan on waiting until the mini starts before finishing any of the books I am reading now.

I think preplanning what you can for the mini challenge is a good idea. I have made my own planning spreadsheet but I wonder if anyone else thinks we should do one for this part of the challenge? I identified 7 books on my TBR that would meet prompts but I would hate to read something that someone else was in the midst of reading for the same prompt.

I have read every one of his books. I guess I should go back in and add read to all the back ones. Have you read any of his wife's books? I read and enjoyed her early ones and have not been keeping up with the last few since they are slow moving and that is not my style now,

I also have several blue books in my pipeline so finding a blue book is not critical right now. I feel like blue is the easiest color to find.

I think both covers are questionable. Annalisa might want to ask the captains' opinions.

Oops, my mistake. Annalisa fixed it.

Hi Ann,

I tried to read this book last month and I gave up. I just couldn't get into it. It doesn't look like you thought it was great either. I'm just curious what you thought?
