Alissa | 351 comments I will look for books with Pots and Pans and Chocolate on the cover tomorrow.

And I can probably take care of a crime book.


message 754: by Alissa (new)

Alissa | 351 comments Does crime have to be the top genre, or just one of those listed?

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) | 66 comments I noticed we don't have Poirott tasks. If none didn't solve it I can try to solve the differences?

It has to be one of the ones on the main page when you pull up the book but it does not have to be #1

It can be plural, as long as the meaning of the word stays the same

I assume the Mod will put them there. If they don't show up in the next day or so, I guess PM her back. Thanks for doing this!

Tina | 768 comments Marie, the books Rachael has listed are the ones we need to complete a team's tasks, since we get more points if we complete all the tasks for a certain team. And instead of spreading out the books over the entire spreadsheet we try to complete one team at a time. So those tasks are our main focus, but if you report the tasks a certain book can fit, I'm sure Rachael will use it in the best place:)

Caly ☯ Crazy Book Lady Oh and Rachael, Confessions of a Pagan Nun has 208 pages not the 280 you have on the spreadsheet. Still works of course but don't want anyone to notice the discrepancy. 8-)


message 791: by Marie (UK) (last edited Apr 26, 2017 08:16AM) (new)

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 1155 comments I have just noticed that the works in a church says MC - the church worker in Purple Hibiscus is the narrator's father he is in the book a lot but not sure if it counts as MC

however if this doesn't work i can put in A Fatal Winter where MC is an Anglican priest

Alissa | 351 comments I should be finished Bran New Death today.

Do you want me to find something with a Garden on the Cover?

I will also be finished Nostalgia by the weekend and I'll see if it fits anywhere.


message 799: by Tina (new)

Tina | 768 comments A garden on the cover would be great Alissa:) That would complete the tasks for Heathcliff.


message 800: by Ingeborg (new)

Ingeborg (redrum) | 410 comments The Robert Langdon tasks say books beginning with K, I, T, E. Can someone verify this, because if so, Marie's book doesn't fit.
