Hi Lil Harpy,With the time zones I think it's a little early for MH or Sarah to be on. Is something the matter?
MH said earlier that she has time after March ends to finalize the spreadsheet, so I'm sure she'll sort it out then. :)
One hour left to the deadline for March books! (countdown)Great job everyone! Now we just have one more month to go. I hope everyone has some great books lined up to read in April :-)
The captains have 2 extra days to finalize the spreadsheet for March. I have to work today, but will add the last few books on Sunday morning.
And ... drum roll please .... its April! I can update the spreadsheet this afternoon (it's 9:21 am for me right now). Good finish everyone!
Was a great March Read-athon with you all. :)
And here's our first April book! :D
2 - second in a series
6 - C: Gabriel Scott
Skip - K author

Yay!
MARCH SPREADSHEET is finished!We completed all our Uno cards, all of part 1-3 of the mini challenge, and for scrabble we ended up with 36 our of the 48 letters. Sarah figured out that we got the most points if we did 5 words with 7 letters each (plus one letter in one additional word) rather than the 3 words with 7 letters each and 3 words with 5 letters each that we had in our original setup, so we changed those around.
I've finished my first book for April:
Card 2 - book 2 in series
Card 6 - author Simone Elkeles
Card 7 - character Victor Salazar
Card 8 - author Simone Elkeles
The next two books that I'm reading are:
card 2 - title T
card 6 - book 6 in series
card 9 - character Bob Nissen
skip - author Paul Doiron
card 2 - character Temperance Brennan
skip - author Kathy Reichs
Finished my first April book: Romeo and Juliet0 - Standalone
2 - C: Tybalt
6 - A: William Shakespeare
7 - P: Verona
Reverse - Read by MH, Melindam, Kazen
We're off to a great start this month with several books finished already! Here's our current plan for the colour cards:
- 5 Red: Melindam The Masked City
- 7 Red: MH The Bourne Identity
- 0 Green: Melindam The Lightning Thief
- 3 Green: Melindam Emma
- 3 Yellow: potentially covered by Eni (or alt. Lil Book Harpy)
We are still looking for:
- 1 Green
- 5 Green
- 6 Red
- 7 Blue
- 7 Blue
Is this cover blue enough?
If so, it has character names starting with 'V' & I could read it. :)
This could work for 1 Green with characters Olivia/Orsino or 5 Green with place name Illyria.
This could for for 6 Red with character Silvius.
I just realized my current read would probably work for 7 Blue!
Character Guylain Vignolles

Melindam, Twelfth Night and As You Like It would be great for the cover colour, but they are classified as poetry and therefore need to be at least 25000 words. Unfortunately, both of them are slightly too short :(
