More black than red, I'd say, unfortunately. Cool cover though.

Can you do a list of letters still to do so that I can look at it in my lunch hour at work and make a note of any that I may be able to do?
Thanks
Sure thing, Carol.Will put up the list as soon as I've done all the updates :-)

I bought a copy of H G Wells "The First Men in the Moon." Would that work for hand 14 card 6 (yellow)? The version I have has a yellow back cover and spine so that should be enough yellow? I was thinking the setting (space) would be OK for S. If not, then there are these creatures called Selenites. Let me know if this fits and I'll start reading tomorrow :)
Any chance you could link the cover? The front cover is what needs to be yellow for the colour to count.Setting as space could work if it's actually taking place on a spaceship or something, i.e. smacked up in the middle of space. (Book page says "moon" though as setting?)
As for the selenites, that wouldn't work sadly as it needs to be the actual name of a character, one with lines.

Ah, don't worry. I'll choose a different book.
Sorry, Pepperpots :-(Maybe you have a green cover lying around that you'd like to read? :-)
I have found a better book for yellow (I am obsessed with this card for some reason lol).
Now that is definitely perfect! :-)I can put my yellow book on the shelf again then and concentrate on finding something green instead. One colour less to worry about! :-)
Thanks!

How it fits:
Card 8 - set in Ellison, USA (E)
Eurovision:
"J" (in word "objective") - author Jackson Pearce
"S" - title
"R" - main character Rosie
"F" - series name (Fairytale Retellings)
Or I dont know what are the most difficult letters. Lots of E-s we have to fill, so maybe use setting again for "E"... (we can use setting this time for spell-out, right?)
You decide :)
Setting can be used for cards or spell-out, so that's definitely a good option to have.There might be some switching happening towards the end of the month. At the moment I'll try to fill the letters that will be the most difficult and then towards the end, Silje and I will start playing tetris to try and fill up holes and get as many full words as possible for extra points ;-)

Glad to hear you enjoyed your holiday! Sounds like a fun trip! Minus the night spent at the airport..
And of course you won't be kicked off the team for being a little absent. Figured you'd be back sooner or later ;-) Though I was beginning to wonder where you'd gotten to hehe.
