Rachael Hewison (rachhewison) | 459 comments I've double-checked the original clue which was 'Spell out Kite'. I'm double checking whether that's the normal way of authors/characters/titles or whether it's just book titles

message 803: by Tina (new)

Tina | 768 comments Ingeborg, the task is to "Spell out KITE". Marie's book is used because of the name of a character.


message 804: by Tina (new)

Tina | 768 comments I will finish Roman Crazy today. I'll be able to read one more book this month, should I go for
- a book where the characters dance OR
- E in KITE OR
- a book with a 7 and a 2 in the page count?

I'm not sure if any of these tasks are "taken"?

Absolutely, I'll read Paper Princess by Erin Watt.


message 809: by Dragana (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) | 66 comments I am currently half way through the The Dress of the Season which could work for characters that dance.

After that I plan to go with The Nature of a Pirate in which characters visit a zoo.

Not sure if I will be able to read more until the deadline...

A Fatal Winter
completed 28/04/2017

Main Character - Max Tudor is an Anglican Priest

I am travelling this weekend I will finish Purple Hibiscus today although i have to say it is the most distressing book i have ever read and IMO not about anything to do with the political struggle rather the power mad abusive nature of a father to his children - i have to take it in small chunks.

I will have access to internet only maybe not today

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 1155 comments Does this mean we have completed all hands and mini challenge

There are more we could do but it would mean completing 3 more specific books in a day and at lot of us are already committed to something.


message 820: by Ingeborg (new)

Ingeborg (redrum) | 410 comments That's great, Marie! :)


message 821: by Rachael (new)

Rachael Hewison (rachhewison) | 459 comments Hi all,

It's the last day!!

So today we should finish:

Bones:
Dragana to finish The nature of a pirate
I'm finishing Brooklyn

Heathcliff:
Alissa is finishing the Secret Garden
Caly is finishing Confessions of a pagan nun

Robert Langdon:
Tina is finishing Paper Princess

Altogether that will give us an extra 65 points

If any of you have any time to finish another book today that will fit any of the other cards we get another 10 points per book so if you can I would greatly appreciate it!
