It does look yellow Romina but I'll go get a second opinion in the captain's group.Not sure on garden.
And I think we've managed to hit almost every thread with our Easter cheer. Well done everyone and have a great Easter

Also would it count as yellow cover? I would think so but color extractor says its mos..."
I checked in the Captain's group and it's a yes for garden and I think it's also a yes for Yellow
Finished Last Breath which unfortunately I started before the mini.I've also finished watching 13 Reasons Why on Netflix so should have more reading time. That show was seriously addictive.
Thanks Alison! I will update the spreadsheet with those options then!I only watched pieces of that show, I didn't really like it. I wanted to see how related to the book it was so I watched the first two episodes and then the last I think haha I never got into it
I haven't read the book Romina. It's one that's been on my tbr for ever but I hadn't gotten round to it. Now that I know everything I'm not sure I ever will. That last episode was pretty brutal.
From what I saw the tapes seem to be pretty much the same(I only saw 2-3) but the tv show added a LOT more drama and back story to the characters.. the parents don't really exist in the book and the whole investigation either so they added a ton of stuff. The book is pretty much just the kid going through town listening to the tapes
At least from what I remember. I have awful memories so I usually forget a book almost as soon as I read it
For "Read a book where the genre on the main page in Goodreads is Thriller" , does it have to be the first genre listed or can it be one on the main page but not necessarily the first.
I was thinking of this one for Thriller, I added it on spreadsheet..can change it if it doesnt work.
Is anyone else doing Dewey's 24-hr read-a-thon this year? That'll be my biggest 24-hrs of reading and it's April 29-30

.Avid I hadnt heard of that! It sounds interesting Im going to check out the website."
It's awesome!
Romina, it doesn't have to be the first genre listed it just needs to be on the books main page. There's a box on the right hand side that lists the main genres. As long as it's there it's fine.
Great work and thanks for the tip on what book not to read :DMeant to say, as we're a couple of players down we've been given an allocation of 12 books from the mod shelf. I'm back to working crazy hours so haven't had a chance to look in any detail but if anyone has time there's a link on the team sheet to the shelf. We can use books read in April.
There are definitely at least three that will work for some of our reverses and I'm sure I spied a green cover.
I was bored and started going through the Pixie books to see what cards they could work for.. but it was a lot more work than I thought and I didnt get to finish! Still, I will share because maybe it can help when choosing which books to use!A Red Herring Without Mustard: 1(character Ophelia), 3(3rd in series), 4(character Flavia), 5(character Inspector Hewitt), 8(Setting England). 1 yellow
The Upside of Unrequited:0(standalone), 2(Title), Skip(surname Peskin Suso), Reverse(Alison).

only if started after the 15th I think
I've put a tab on tracking sheet with where Pixie Books could go. You don't need to use them this way, but you can. Alison, Avid, if you'll look it over and see if it works for you.

I put in the REVERSES but the rest I think we should see what we need when it comes up
I moved around some stuff on the Easter Egg Hunt from Basket to Kite and we just need an I to finish it up
Sorry I'm being so slack - life has been crazy this month!! I have 2 books in progress now and there's light at the end of the tunnel on one. I haven't been in love with either of them so it's slow going.
Thanks Danielle and Avid, you ate superstars. Work has just gone nuts over the past week so I haven't had much time to do anything. Thankfully it is now the weekend so I have a couple of free days to catch up with everything.
