Perfect! Then we can move "Misfits" to Paprika :-D
And that then leaves us with either Chamomile/Camomile or Spinach!
One word left!!
Can we find that before the month is up? :-)
But I'll go through all the word messages again when I'm home (in about 2-3 hours I'll have the time) and see what we can potentially switch around.
Awesome! We've found these words pretty good. I just looked at my next book that I will be reading and it has Chamomile.

What kind of book club is it..."
It's a local one and we tend to read contemporary novels from across various genres. The Christmas read does tend to be more of a lighter read. I like that I am exposed to novels I'd otherwise overlook :)

I'd say it's blue enough since it has many shades of blue, but maube ask Karen just in case?=)
I finished A Court of Thorns and Roses (LOVED IT), but didn't find any missing words for the mini challenge.
In other challenges we have sometimes used this tool: Image Color Extract Using PHP to figure out the % of certain colour.Maybe it could be handy.
It showed me black 39,1% and white 2,5% and all the rest shades of blue. So it's a close case :)
You have to upload image there to see the colours percentage.
So no more words needed for March?
Thanks for the tip, Elinaly!=) The only word left is Chamomile, but I think Danielle is already working on that one.

Correct! That was the last one we needed :-)
Soooo glad you loved ACoTaR!! :-))
Blue it is for the cover! :-)I'll update the spreadsheet accordingly.
I'm not quite sure yet what I'm going to read next month, as it mainly depends on the challenges. The Bingo shelf calls and the various weekly tasks etc make it hard to really plan ;-)
I really want to read
though as well as
!
Sorry for repeating this over and over again (I just can't really believe it) LOL,but did we really do ALL March challenges? Like 100%??
Wow! Proud to be in Peanuts team!!
(yep, to show you how serious I am about this I just changed my profile pic... for a little while) :D

Agree, awesome job team! :D
Jenny, he totally is!! :-DLol Elinaly.
On the Easter mini the sentence on Paprika is showing the sentence from when the book was in the Saffron spot. Here the sentence to save you searching for it -
...turned out to be treacle, mustard, and smoked paprika • page 152
Ah yes, forgot to change that. Thanks for catching that! :-)

So true!
Perfect, ladies!!All cards done, all memories done, all words done!
YOU ROCK!!
Hi there, Team Peanuts! Denise from Team Spongebob with our team's connection to one of your memories. :) ♥ I can't remember a time when I wasn't reading. When I was younger (many moons ago), relatives always got together and decided who was buying what book for birthdays and Christmas.
I can remember when I was about 8 or 9 being given a set of five hardback books of classics and reading them so much that they fell apart. They had read covers with black spines and the author and title written in gold.
I used to use my brother and sister's tickets for the library so that I could have 9 books instead of 3. I was at the library so often that the librarians used to keep books to one side for me and I was on first name terms with most of them. I am now a librarian and my TBR list just keeps getting longer and longer. Now that I have an ereader as well I can read all over and always have a book to hand. My work library ticket has over 40 books issued to it and my ereader has over 1500 books on it.
My favourite book of all time has to be Jane Eyre, I have read it so many times and am on my 6th copy as the book always falls apart from being read so many times.
Book read: Over Sea, Under Stone
Date read: 3/30/16
Connection: I received this series as a set when I was young, and read them until they all fell apart. I think I'm currently on my fourth set, hehe. :)
So if I understand it correctly when I started a book in March, but will finish it on 1st April it counts for April cards?If so I will hold my horses ;)
(because if I finish it today, on 31st March, its no use at all, right?)
That's correct, yes.But take into consideration the time difference. The challenge runs on Australia time, so that is later in the morning for us Europeans.
The countdown is linked at the top of this page.
yep, thanks! I learned it (time difference) already when the first round started ;)
I´m having super quiet work-day, so planning here my April reads and...I could cover 3RED card with:
by Hugh HoweyH - author name.
Of course the question is again is the cover red enough.
My secret tool shows that its 56,51% red, but you have the honor to say the final word, hehehee.
I'd say red enough. It was the first colour that came to mind when I looked at the cover.I'm having a little more of a stressful day at work, or at least this morning was. A tiny bit of downtime at the moment, but I'm not sure that'll stay for the rest of the afternoon... My boss is going on holiday (that is, he's going away for a long weekend) and he's stressing as though he's going to be away for two weeks instead of two work days... ;-)
Silje, what do you think of the cover? Would you consider it red enough?
I'd say it's red enough yes=) I'm finally back at work after two sickdays and I just wish I'd been sick longer....sigh...(I have to do the work for three people the next week so no fun at work..)
Oh that sounds like sooo much fun :-/Next week the whiner is back at work. I've already been warned by one of the people she works for that she got tons of little e-mails so she'll be complaining and whining all morning :-p Ah I'm so looking forward to that.. ;-) It was so quiet without her, so relaxing!
But yay, good on the book! I'll get that added. As well as
because I won't manage to finish that tonight. I had no time for reading at work today, so I couldn't rush through it the way I hoped I could.
And while I was at it, I also threw in
, which fit for a Draw 2 card.And with the books you ladies have already mentioned, we only have one Draw 2 card left to fill (in Hand Eight). Nicely done!

How it fits: "5" (set in Ireland); "skip" (authors first and last name). I can also name characters if needed, there are many of them
I read this book, because I'm traveling to Ireland in May. The book belongs to a series written by Estonians (not writers) who live abroad and share their experiences.
I have this silly habit to read a book from this series before travelling somewhere. So I would know more about how the locals see the life there.
But I don't know... I didn't really enjoy this book. Author's humor spiced things up a bit, but... well... still gave it 2 stars!
I will still go to Ireland -> Dublin though, lol.
March Results have been posted and we ended up in 5th place, in a tie with team Muppets and team Batman.Well done! :-)
I am going to read The Year of the Runaways which can be used for the SKIP card in hand 7 if you want :)

Pepperpots wrote: "I am going to read The Year of the Runaways which can be used for the SKIP card in hand 7 if you want :)"I used it for a 6 card, since the Skip card is for K or P.
Unless there is a character in the book that fits for K or P?

Eldarwen wrote: "Must be a good series, Danielle! :-)"I find it an entertaining series. A few editing mistake. But they are a bit over the top, but easy reads.
Oh, a Skip option and with all the other possibilities, that'll take care of our last Draw 2 card! :-) *phew*
I missed the skip on the other books, it was only when I was reading this last book, that I realise that there was a skip option.
Oh well, if he's in the previous one, too? Then I'll use that for the Draw 2 and I'll put Karma in for the 4 Blue. :-) Thanks!
