I know Scarlet annoyed me until the last few chapters. I wouldn't read it but I committed myself for the B6 card and unfortunately I hate starting a series and not finishing it.....call it my own OCD.......
But I just looked at the spreadsheet and I don't have to read it because someone else already completed the B6 Card...... Great. i may still read it but now I don't feel I have to for the team...... :)

You know, I loved reading the first two books. This book, for some reason, I am finding very hard to focus on. I don't know if it's me or if it's the book. I really don't want to give up on it but at the same time ....
Completed: Little Star by John Ajvide Lindqvist 4.0 starsMain Characters: Card 2
Theres
Teresa
Stand Alone: Card 0
Wild Card
That one sounds intriguing Veronica...if only I weren't such a wimp with horror!

Especially when it's such a big book, makes that much harder to get through, hopefully it will catch your eye again.

Card that fit: 0 (charater name Wen Zhou), 1 (1st in series), 2 (character name Shen Tai), 3 (character name Hwan), 4 (character name Lin Fong), 6 (character name Wei Song), 9 (character name Wujen Ning)
I finished One Plus One by Jojo Moyes. It works for the 1 card. I started Promises to Keep by Jane Green it would work for a 6 card because a main character's name is Steffi.
Just started The Year of the Hare by Arto PaasilinnaCan be used for a skip card for Author's last name.
Or #7 card for the character's name Vatanen.
Just finished Dark Lover on 4/12. This book can be used for:
card 2 (character Tohrment)
card 7 (character Vishous)
Skip (Character Phury)
Book 1 in series
I hope this helps. Also, I'm just about to start Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead. I'm not sure if anyone has read it or not to use for a Reverse.
I've read that one Rachel, hope you like it!
I just finished Saving Sophie by Ronald H. BalsonIt can go with Card 3 because it takes place in Hebron. or Card 6 character Sophie or card 7 character Victor Kelsen. may have others if you need a different card.
Hey guys, just got back from my trip, finished reading the book entitled "Nirvana" by J.R. Stewart. Please feel free to put it anywhere you'd like. I'll be sure to check in more often.

Welcome back. Hope you had a good holiday.
Just finished The Atlantis Complex Card #7 for number 7 book in the ARTEMIS FOWL series
Card #4 for Character Foaly
Card# 6 for Character Holly Short
Card # 8 for Author's name Eoin Colfer
I just finishedRare Objects byKathleen Tessaro. Can be used for Draw 2 character names Michael Fanning and May aka Maeve Fanning or card 2 for author surname Tessaro
Just finished White Cat and was surprised I liked it :) I had read the Faerie series by this author and did not enjoy it...maybe it was just the genre...
I noticed in hand 6 you put this book in one of the card 4 spots. Do you not want to use it for the Draw 2? I had 2 different characters with the last name Fanning. Michael Fanning and Maeve Fanning. If you need another character with different last name we can use Mickey Finn. Just thought I would check..... here is my original post about completing the book it also fits with card 7 Character name James Van De Laars....I just finishedRare Objects byKathleen Tessaro. Can be used for Draw 2 character names Michael Fanning and May aka Maeve Fanning or card 2 for author surname Tessaro
Lisa, I leave it up to Lori how she wants to use the draw and wild cards, I update the spreadsheet, add cards to the hand and let Lori use her magic for changing around for special cards :)*I've updated the spreadsheet so she can leave or mix
One quick question about the Mini Bingo Challenge. I started the book Rare Objects on April 13th. Can it be used for the mini bingo challenge? ( I am unclear because of what the rules say "◈ Books started after April 13 and read between April 13 - April 30 count.◈ Books started before April 13th do not count"
I started it after 12:00pm Central time (I live in Panama City Florida) on April 13th....
If it can count for the mini challenge I have a few slots for you to choose from.
1. Adopt a Greyhound month (Character Diana buys a dog his name is Henry).
2. National Card and Letter Writing Month (Character Maeve and Mr. Winshaw write letters back and forth throughout the story also in the last chapter Diana sends a post card to Maeve.
3. National Beer Day 7th of April ( The book was published in April.)
thanks
I finished The Year of the Hare by Arto Paasilinna yesterday 4/14/2016. I give it 2 and a half star. It was an interesting concept. However, the way the author moved the flow of the story from one direction to another, threw me off at times . Can be used for a skip card if you use the author's last name.
Or #7 card for the character's name Vatanen.

Ugh, I hate not finishing series that I start, but I believe the book I just finished has put the final nail in this series for me. There are other books after this one, but no thank you, I'm done!Kitty in the Underworld

Hey again, I just finished Under Water two days ago, figured I'd add it to the list. For April's Mini Challenge, it could fit for (if any are available still):
-National Sibling Day
-National Dolphin Day
Also, unsure if anyone else is, but this Saturday (April 23rd) is Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon. I'll be participating, so I'm sure I'll have quite a few books to add shortly.
I picked up The Memory Painter because we needed a few yellow covers this month, not really knowing too much about the book. It really kept me intrigued, seeing all these pieces come together...another challenge win for me, so glad when unexpected books happen :)

Lisa, I'm going to have to try this author, you seem to be enjoying her books :)I've been sick since Sunday, so I've been getting a lot of reading done! Might switch to Netflix today :D

yeah i really am enjoying her books. Love the historical fiction...New genre for me.
I had to ask first before I post for this book. I finished this book لا سكاكين في مطابخ هذه المدينة on 4/11/2016 but it's in Arabic so I wasn't sure if it counts. The title translates to: No Knives in This City's Kitchens by Khaled Khalifa.This book can be used for the following cards:
Skip - Author's Name.
#0 - Stand alone book
#2 - Character Terez
#3 - Character Hassan
#5 - Story setting in Iraq
#6 - Story setting in Syria
#8- Character Elana
#9 - Character Nizar
I couldn't find the post on checking the colors of covers...anyone remember where that was?
, yellow cover?
It's in the captain's group. I'd check on that one.
I just finished The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom. It would work for a 7 card because it takes place in Virginia. It could also work for the 4 card for the character Fanny. Skip is another card that would work for the author's name or book title.
