I'm starting
today and will be reading
next.
Does anyone else want to try and solve the mini challenge words? Ora solved them all for us (great job, thanks!) but I can wait to add them to the spreadsheet if anyone else wants a go at it :-)

Unfortunately this one is not blue enough (it's more green/grey)
That sucks. I only a few books I need to read this month, so I will look for shorter books that will work for the mini and hopefully our decks. If there is a specific card(s) or letter(s) you would like me to look for let know.

For the regular hands, the cards that we seem to have the hardest to find so far is 5, 7 and reverse.
I found three short Marquita Valentine books I want to see if I can read by the end of the weekend.

We also get points for all the letters we read for, even if we don't finish the entire word.There are no specific letters we are in dire need of, so anything we read are easy to fit into words.

I will hopefully finish up my two current books today. One which had a nice surprise of V location and character.
Are there any other cards or letters that you would like me to work on? It looks like we have enough books for 5 and 7 without counting Invision and Frost Burned that I plan on starting a the end of the week.

I'm waiting for 2 books from the library that will work for 5 and reverse - hopefully I'll get them soon. I'm next in line for both of them, but I'm not sure when I'll get them.
I found two audio books from my library. I will plan on listening to them next week.
