Happy Easter team Ron Weasley from Team Peeta Mellark...something fun to read!
Happy Easter Team Ron Weasley!I found you some Easter teaspoons :)
Happy Easter everyone!I've been a little busy the last week, as family was visiting - for various reasons it had to be before Easter. Hope you are all having a great weekend.
I've found the egg on Team Yvaine:
The act of exchanging gifts of eggs dates back to the time of the Egyptians and Persians! Painted eggs were given as gifts to symbolize fertility and new life
✣ Give Easter gifts/greetings to the other teams.
1p / greeting. Each gift / greeting must be different to count.
Which explains all the Easter greetings from the other teams. :)
I've given a easter greeting/gift to:team Mercy Thompson (post)
team Mark Watney (post)
team Bones (post)
team Will Traynor (post)
I started alphabetically - I've sent greetings to Team Augustus Waters post
Team Becky Bloomwood post
I'll add some more later on, depending on where we are.
Edit - added

Here's the tasks from the egg in team Ove's thread:Pouring water on one another is a Polish Easter tradition called Smingus-Dyngus. On Easter Monday, boys try to drench other people with buckets of water, squirt guns or anything they can get their hands on. Legend says girls who get soaked will marry within the year. The refreshing tradition has its origins in the baptism of Polish Prince Mieszko on Easter Monday in 966 AD.
✦ Read a book with water on the cover
✦ Read a book where a character goes swimming
✦ Read a book with Monday in the text or title
I'm gonna read A Superior Death which will work for water on the cover.
Team Bones, wishing you all a Peaceful Easter!
GETTING ORGANIZED...To make it easier for us, I've started a list in POST #6 with the Easter Egg Hunt tasks for which we need to read books. There is also a tab in the team spreadsheet called Easter Hunt where you can see the current status of all tasks.
If you find one of the eggs that have a question to answer, please PM me the answer and we will add them all together and submit the answers to the mods.
Happy Easter from Team Elizabeth Bennett! 
Happy Easter from Team Robert Langdon!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend! Happy Easter from team Mark Watney!!
Ron Weasley, Eve Dallas here to tell you Happy Easter!

Yea organization!
I found another egg in the Becky Bloomwood thread:
The traditional act of painting eggs is called _______?
eta: Oh, and a few more!
Team Will Traynor:
On Easter, what do you have to do if you want good luck in the coming year?
Team Team Sybilla (Billie) Bridgerton:
On the morning of Holy Saturday, the traditional "Pot Throwing" takes place on the Greek island of Corfu: People throw pots, pans and other earthenware out of their windows, smashing them on the street. Some say the custom derives from the Venetians, who on New Year's Day used to throw out all of their old items. Others believe the throwing of the pots welcomes spring, symbolizing the new crops that will be gathered in the new pots.
❇ Read a book with pots or pans on the cover
❇ Read a book where a character is a cook or a chef
❇ Read a book where the characters go to a cafe or restaurant
Team Mercy Thompson:
Who held the first egg roll on the White House lawn and in what year?
To Team Ron Weasley,
from Team Yvaine :-)
from Team Harry Dresden
Hi Sarah nice to see you over at ours
Wishing you a wonderful Easter from Team Yvaine :)
It's a spot the difference task for Hercule Poirot - I'll have a look at it and see how I manage.Sending more Easter greetings:

I've found the tasks for Liesel Meminger:
Children in Finland go begging in the streets with sooty faces and scarves around their heads, carrying broomsticks, coffeepots and bunches of willow twigs. In some parts of Western Finland, people burn bonfires on Easter Sunday, a Nordic tradition stemming from the belief that the flames ward off witches who fly around on brooms between Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
✢ Read a book with a grey cover
✢ Read a book with witches
✢ Read a book where there is a fire
Happy Easter everyone from Team Hercule Poirot!
Feliz Pascua de Resurrección!Happy Easter, have a nice day everyone, from Team Heathcliff

✦ Read a book where the MC works in a church - I have started reading Sidney Chambers and the Persistence of Love. Chambers is a priest, so I guess that would work for the church?
For the April Mini challenge:TEAM JACK TORRANCE
✦ Read a book with a hat on the cover - I could read
, which has quite a lot of hats/helmets on the cover✦ Read a book with a parade - The book
features 2 military parades. If that works, I could read that too.
Hope you have a wonderful Easter ~ from Team Rachel Watson!
It seems we need to greet ourselves - so Happy Easter everyone!
Hi Sarah! *waves like a maniac *
I've no chocolate, but can recommend an inspiring book : Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, which I love, my sister loves, my nephew is enjoying (though not enough daggers. Or swords. Or, y'know, fighting stuff. He tried to turn a telescope into a cannon. Maybe I'll fall back on his ridiculous high glasses prescription, rather than bloodthirsty boy!)
Hope you all had a lovely family & book full Easter!

I have a book with a frying pan on the cover - I think that should count, right?Just started one set in 1138 for the 5th to 15th century task.

I think a 0, but we have plenty of other books that work for 0 and 6, so we will use it for reverse for now :-)
STATUS UPDATEWe now need 48 more books to finish all the Uno cards! We can do this - just keep reading :-)
Make that 47 more books!Just finished H is for Hawk. I started before the mini so it doesn't count for that.
Only works for:
0 - standalone
3 - title
The egg in our thread in on page 2 - we have a questionWhich animal is used in Australia instead of a rabbit? Why?
Team Ty and Zane have another question:
Where is the world's largest collection of Easter eggs and how many are there?
Team Mark Watney:
What is the native name for Easter Island?
Team Heathcliff:
The first story of a rabbit (later named the “Easter Bunny”) hiding eggs in a garden was published in 1680.
✳ Read a book with a garden on the cover
✳ Read a book with 1 & 6 in the page count
✳ Read a book with an 8 & 0 in the page count
Team Bones:
The tallest chocolate Easter egg ever was made in Italy in 2011. At 10.39 metres in height and 7,200 kg in weight, it was taller than a giraffe and heavier than an elephant!
✲ Read a book set in Italy
✲ Read a book first published in 2011
✲ Read a book where the MC's goes to the zoo
✲ Read a book with a 7 and a 2 in the page count. (any combination)
Team Augustus Waters:

Words can only be found once, and only one word / book.
Monk's Hood is my book set in 1138.I'm also listening to The Shadow Over Innsmouth which works for set in a small town.
