Yes. Started all and finished all in February. And the 64 pages is a mistake.... I read the hard back version of the book, checked out from my library.
Here's the link to the correct version

For March color cards, I can take the 4 Green card in the second hand.

If a book was a collaboration between two writers, can I use either name for the card?
Also, I'm reading Micro by Michael Crichton which will work for Skip, 3, 6, zero or one. Do page numbers count? I'm having a hard time remembering.
Diane Woods wrote: "If a book was a collaboration between two writers, can I use either name for the card?"Yep!
Diane Woods wrote: "Also, I'm reading Micro by Michael Crichton which will work for Skip, 3, 6, zero or one. Do page numbers count? I'm having a hard time remembering."It just has to be over 25,000 words I believe!
At 526 pages, I think I have 25,000 words covered lol
Yeah I think the word count was only really a concern for children's books and graphic novels? And I think I read somewhere that things had to be more than 100 pages, but I could be wrong.

Currently reading Small Great things by Jodie Picoult.
Just finished 
Acceptable Risk by Robin CookCompleted ~ 3.12.17
Pages ~ 416
Rating ~ 2☆
Fits ..
6 ~ Character Name : Stanton Lewis / Set in Salem, Mass
8 ~ Character Name : Edward Armstrong
Skip ~ Character Name : Kimberly Stewart
I have loved every book I have read by Robin Cook so far :)
I didn't think this one was all that great. It was a good concept for a thriller, but I don't think it was all that well executed. The prose was just lacking in depth and density for me.
I was reading up on the March mini challenge, and I should be able to fill at least one spot for the "Team Author" one... I was already planning to start the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince audiobook within the next few days (as soon as it's available from my library), so I should get that done during the eligible dates.I can take on more for the mini challenge as needed, but I just figured I'd let everyone know I could do that one since I was planning on listening to it anyway then realized it would fit for something.
For the march mini challenge, for the second one I could read me before you. if I read it can it still count in our book spreadsheet or is it separate ?

Just I am not really understanding what we have to do in the scavenger hunt for the march mini ?
Carol wrote: "Just I am not really understanding what we have to do in the scavenger hunt for the march mini ?"I haven't updated the mini challenge yet. I am now though!
Carol wrote: "Just I am not really understanding what we have to do in the scavenger hunt for the march mini ?"Yeah, I was confused about that too! At first I thought it had to be the same name as the group name (like if you are reading a book with the character Ron, it would count because of group Ron Weasley... but it sounds like you can use ANY character's name from the book? So if you read a book with a character named Molly, it would count because of Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter series (Team Ron Weasley)?
That's what it sounded like to me, but I'm not 100% sure.
Oh ok ! So in our case we need to read books with the character name will or trainor ? Right?
Carol wrote: "Oh ok ! So in our case we need to read books with the character name will or trainor ? Right?"I think it can be any team, not just ours, because the rules say that the 10 possible spots for this part have to be 10 different names. I scrolled through some other teams' spreadsheets to see and it looks like from what they are doing it can be a name from any of the books our team names are based off of.
But like I said, I'm not 100% sure. That's just what I'm getting from it.
finishedThe Mist by Carla Neggers
Hag-Seed: The Tempest Retold by Margaret Atwood

I got annoyed and stopped reading Maze Runner, so if someone else wants to take that card, that would be great.
Since the month is almost over, here's an update on my plan for the last few days:I'll finish a book that can fit for 3 Green (hand 6) later today.
(Title starts with H, 57.6% army green plus other greens)
I should finish a book that fits for 0 yellow (hand 8) either tonight/tomorrow.
(standalone, 67% Witch haze yellow)
These both will fit in the mini for Team Author, too -- JK Rowling (Team Ron Weasley) and Sophie Kinsella (Team Becky Bloomwood)
Other than that, I have to read The Austere Academy before my library loan ends, so I'll get that done this month, too. That'll fit for 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, Skip or Reverse.
I'm going to try to get another audiobook to start today and hopefully finish by the end of the day Friday, but I'm not sure what that will be or if it's possible.

Did you start and finish all these in Feb, so they can count for Feb's books?
I noticed one said a page count of 64 pages, but all the "other editions" (and the edition on your read shelf) had like 200+ pages, so I'm wondering if the 64 is a mistake? If so, we would need to link to the correct one but it should count as long as you read the longer one?
Sorry if I'm stepping on any toes or anything by asking these things -- I don't mean to do so... I just like clarifying things for myself for my own peace of mind, because I tend to overthink about things so if I didn't ask for clarification it would just bug me not knowing :)
