I think I can make 800 , thanks :)
I'm going to read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. For some reason it won't let me bring up the cover I am reading with the search box???The cover I am reading is more golden than orange (rooftop on it) but this book is listed on the orange covers page that the link was posted to before. So can I use it as my orange book?

Did you try looking at different editions?
I am reading
and I'm listening to
Yes, I did Claire. Can I put a different edition down as my read copy?
Hi Ladies!!!!Wooot Wooot!!! Our mini challenge is the first one up ☺ How did we get so lucky lol. I had planned on spending today reading because it is rainy,cold and now snowing,AGAIN. Instead, I had to go to town and get tires put on my car. When we picked it up yesterday from the repair shop, the Mister noticed that one of my tires was bad.....grrrrrrrr. I did get some reading done while I sat and waited and I plan on reading here shortly after I get my shower.
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying your books ☺ I will be completing a book (maybe two) tonight and I will be back to post them later!
Cathie wrote: "yep, that's the one, ShoSho"Yeah it doesn't show this version in the search box.
when you want to post it here, add the one without cover and then replace the number 17861376 with 332613 you'll get the one with the orange cover .
Is there a link to the mini challenge?

The mini-challenges submitted by each Team - such as today's "Green with Envy" - may be posted in main May Tower Teams Read-a-Thon" thread created by Sonia. However, some Teams are also posting them within their group thread here - or in a specific thread over in the "sister group."
I changed the name of this one, to avoid confusion: Mini Non-Reading Games & Puzzles for Cupcakes from LK.
Thanks. There's so many links and places to go ~ someone could make a fortune selling guidemaps, snicker

Mini challenge #1 
Morning!! I'll post the mini-challenges here and in the RaT thread on our other set of threads too when they come out.Also about to do a quick update of the spreadsheet before I get dressed for work - I've added a few columns for the RaT there too and I'll post an update here before I go to bed each night :)
Hope that's ok...
And I'll work on the word searches today, gonna need a break or two - busy time planned!

Mini-challenge #1: Green With EnvyTeam:Atomic Tangerine
I did puzzle 6 and 7 , the only ones we haven't done yet are the word searches and the train to bike thing, I'll do train to bike in the morning :D
Well done ShoSho! Thanks, I'll do the wordsearches when I get home over a cuppa :) I'm reading
now, so far it's better than the last Jasper Fforde book I read. I'll probably start my theme book tonight and the colour one tomorrow :)
Ok so I've done the first wordsearch because it's more interesting that statistics, will email it in and do the other one later!
Both wordsearches done, will email them off later:)
Yea Claire :-)Susan, it was an ok book. (If I Stay) I rated it 2.5 stars. No surprises, no complications; if you read the dust jacket you know exactly what you are getting. It's a very quick, easy read.
Just finished for a tangerine cover.
Go Phyllis!! I've just got in from work so I'll update to spreadsheet after dinner :)
Finished Secrets of the Heart
It is a romance novel centering around being a mail order bride. The historical fiction part I ate up; I love that sort of thing. The writing is average.
308 pages
(Total for RaT so far = 509)

Ok, on the Team Assignments round II spreadsheet, I have a yellow marked thing beside my name that indicates my goals do not match??? What??? Someone please let me know what I'm not doing that I should be doing?
I've emailed the answers to the wordsearches and book cover scramble. ShoSho, are you going to do the ladder one? My brain appears to be a bit to fried to cope with that one! Might have to go back to a combination of a parallel world and masterchef while I have my cuppa!

Everything is fine, Cathie. Not to worry. You goal was 75 in Round I and now is 150, so your percent doesn't match in the last column. I haven't decided if I'm going to adjust that number or not.
The yellow highlight shows that you increased from your initial sign-in request. That is all. Which is perfectly fine. Some people change their goal as often as they change their.... uh, er... socks! It has gotten so crazy that I just now highlight all goal changes. This worked, too, as now people tell me instead of letting me - or my clever minions - figure it out on their own.
The NOT actually means from one spreadsheet to another (due, in part, to the reasons given), and is a note to me, myself, and I.
We are up-to-date on the puzzles just sent the "train to bikes" and did the latest jigsaw puzzle.Is it enough if just one us do the mini-challenges ?
P.S.Have you noticed how active I've become? it's because I am spending all my time on GR instead of working or reading !
the mini-challenges are not for points, are they?
