Great job, everyone! We completed all 14 hands, plus all 12 bingo bonuses. We had twelve 30 point cards and were able to double points for all of them. :D I'll post the May cards in the morning. I know I have books I could possibly read for several of the color cards so I'll post those as well.

I'm doing a last minute trip so I'm not sure how frequent internet access I will have for the next week. Upside is that I will have plenty of time to read, so I should get some extra books finished!
I'm sorry I only finished two books last month. I have been pretty busy with school. I have to finish a text book by Saturday for a test,
by Russell G. Green. I am reading the whole book, so could we use it for the challenge? I does fit into at least two cards.
Karla wrote: "I'm sorry I only finished two books last month. I have been pretty busy with school. I have to finish a text book by Saturday for a test, by Russell G. Green. I..."That should be ok - we can use non-fiction (but depending on the book, maybe not all character names). We can check with the mods, but I think it shouldn't be any problems.
Are there a lot of figures, or mostly text?
(And no worry - school comes first.)
Next I'm reading:
Curtain: Poirot's Last Case by Agatha Christie
Card 2 - Character Toby Luttrell
Card 3 - Character Hercule Poirot
Card 4 - Character John Franklin
Card 6 - Character Stephen Norton
Card 8 - Character Elizabeth Cole
Card 9 - Character Stephen Norton
Skip - Character Hercule Poirot

I have to finish a text book by Saturday for a test, by Russe..."It's mostly text and small printing! There are a few figures, but if you put them together, they wouldn't take up more than five or six pages.

"I've read this one. I didn't think it was great so I never read any of the other books from the series. (I think the only reason I read it was that I needed a book with a green cover for a challenge.)

**Could work for the blue 6 if we still need it.
So I found the answers. I'm not sure if I should post them in the thread since other teams are probably still working on them, so I will message our captains with them.
