Amy I think we can put Ever Shade into the Beach, Mountains and Desert spot looks like there is some woods in that cover
Sandy I think we can put firebird into Animals category. Does it have to have any animal in the cover or is the name fine?

I finished my challenge. I also have the following books that are extra that we can put other places:
is about troops returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom and treatment of PTSD and a whole host of other issues that they face upon return. Do you think that would work for "4 – 4th of July is Independence Day. Read a book with a red, white and blue cover, or that is set on the US, or has the US flag on the cover. Or read a book where the main character is fighting for his independence or for some greater good." from a book a day challenge?
could be used for Book a Day "Over 30" since there are fairies and vampires and Loki. Or it could be used for September takeover because there is a cat and an owl on the cover. - but its not the main focus.

Way to go, Radical Red! I believe we have completed this September challenge! :-)
I built a spreadsheet to use to turn in our totals. I hope the link works! Please take a look at it and make any changes you deem necessary. Amy, can you post your last 2 books?Looks like we have one too many for Blue Cover in Sept. Takeover Challenge. Can one of you find somewhere else to put it, or use another book for a different category? Thanks for your help!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/c...
The spreadsheet requires permission to view it
Shoot!! Let's see if I can figure out to fix that.
OK, I just realized I failed to include Jennifer's A - Z books. Now we have one too many J's or M's.
You also didn't include my books for the September Take over.
I also had the following extra books if you could make them fit somewhere else
to help out.
Jennifer wrote: "You also didn't include my books for the September Take over."I really brought my A game today, Huh? :-)
Sandy wrote: "Jennifer wrote: "You also didn't include my books for the September Take over."I really brought my A game today, Huh? :-)"
It's ok. I imagine it's a lot to coordinate.
OK, Jennifer. Since we had 3 blue covers already in Sept. takeover, I moved Deeply Odd to A - Z author (K). I also used To Kill a Warlock for A - Z author (O) since we had too many M's. Hopefully all your books are posted now on the spreadsheet.
Yep you're good now. At least for me. That's 11 books for me. Do we get extra points for going over our goal?
To fix our "too many blue covers" problem, I moved 10 Shades of Seduction (Amy) to A - Z Author (T).
Jennifer wrote: "Yep you're good now. At least for me. That's 11 books for me. Do we get extra points for going over our goal?"Good question. I think the maximum BAPs is 9, so it doesn't look like it, but we'll see what the mods say.
I finished another book in case we did get extra for going over
