Happy Easter from Team Ron Weasley!

[Annalisa]

I sent greetings to:

Team Hercule Pairot - message 620
Team Rachel Watson - message 261

[Ashleigh]

Happy Easter everyone from Team Hercule Poirot!

[Eldarwen]

Thanks for doing the greetings, ladies! :-)

[Annalisa]

I wasn't sure what was left at this point. I can do a few more if needed.

[Eldarwen]

I sent a greeting to team Peeta Mellark and that took care of the last one.

Great job, everyone!!

Have some chocolate as a reward ;-)

[Annalisa]

Yum chocolate.

[Annalisa]

When it says a gray cover how gray does it need to be?

Would either of these work?

[Eldarwen]

Hmm, there's no extra instructions given for that one, but I'd say the same applies as for the colour cards - so at least 50%.

I'd say yes to your first option, but not the second. The red dress is too prominent for the cover to be grey enough.

[Laila Jane]

                              From Team Rose Hathaway =D

[Annika]

It needs to be >50% gray. A good help is to use tineye (can't link it since I'm on the useless app).
And if that don't help, E snd I are slways happy to lend a hand! :)

[Annalisa]

I was trying to decide what to read next. I think I'll read Grave Mercy because I like the tag line more. "Why be the sheep when you can be the wolf?"

[Eldarwen]

Oh that does sound interesting! And there's plenty of other tasks where it'll fit, I'm sure.

Besides, we'll get more tasks still once we send in the answers to the riddles.

That numbering is messed up. There isn't even a book 6. It goes straight from 5 to 6.1 to 6.5 then to 7.

I'm a librarian, so let me research it on the website and see if I should correct it.

ETA - well, it appears she (or the publisher) counts the short story that is in an anthology as book 6 but don't even attribute a number to the novella between that and the last book. Crazy I tell you!
