Okay, just to be sure - did you use the same cover that was in my shelf? Wonder if that is the difference???They all look very similar but wonder if there is a subtle difference between them?
Not that "swamp green" looks all that green... But, I figure that is the balance to the covers that look clearly RED but don't show up as red on stupid color extractor. Example
HOW IS THIS NOT RED???? :)
For some reason it looks like the 'hardcover' version is coming up GREY and the kindle editions are coming up GREEN... even though they look OH SO SIMILAR....Thank goodness I am reading kindle edition!!!! :D
Ah hah!!! I had tried the hardcover version and you have the kindle version on your shelf. But they look identical.That's ridiculous!!! I'm starting to wonder if they don't need a different method to determine book color?!?!

It's not the best but it saves them a zillion questions of "Is this cover OK?"
LOL!
I may just include a link to the cover breakdown for any of them I use just to be safe!
Yay!!!! I didn't know we could still ask. Thank you! I'm on my phone app but think the yellow book needed to work for I, right? And I'll need to check characters for the red book to see if it will work. Course I'm just throwing books out that I can find, I don't necessarily need to have all these spots. LOL!
I'm an analyst so, by nature, I just needed to see what I could get lined up. Wasn't sure how hard it would be...

I didn't find an "F" in the book for the last remaining 5 but there's a "Fiona" in the book I'm reading now if we still need it when I'm done.
I suggest that, when we near the end of the month, we place all the books in part 1 that can be placed in section A and B there, in stead of C, since they earn more points per book=)

I'm hoping to finish the three books I have listed and I would love to finish more but I don't know if that's going to happen because RL is requiring my participation more than I would like this week!

I'm going to try to stick to Valentine shelf reading as much as possible through the end of the month. I've been scouring shelves and have this list to work through: (Most of them will be for "read in Feb")

Obviously I won't be able to read ALL of these but thought I'd list out what I found in case anyone finds something that strikes their fancy!
Re-reads are OK, right? --> They are if it's been at least 6 months since your last read.
I'm trying to read as many of the authors that I want to meet in Rare18 (if I get tickets) so I can buy the paperbacks for them to sign.Having to just pick a couple of Hoover and Fisher might be hard lol, also Kylie Scott is going to be there, so I definitely have to get Lick and Mal's book for her to sign.

Absolutely!
Might be good time for re-reads...heehee
lol I read IEWU not so long back so I don't think it will count, but I'm thinking of taking that one and Too Late for CoHo and Bad Mommy and Marrow for Fisher
ooh did you see Ms Halle has a new one out, and it is about Cam and Ellie's children so it can be read sort of in the subs and needles series?
BTW - I noticed that V read Bad Mommy this month and also Nichole has added it to her shelf this month. :)

ooh yes that one you are reading for ICU looks good I'll have a look to see if I have it and read it too.I'm reading the Subs Club at the minute and it's super funny

We are getting closer!! There is only one card left in the UNO hand (a five) and my audiobook will work for that one. Otherwise in the mini-challenge we have completed Part II and in Part I we need 16 more books....2 for part A (read by Valentine team this month).....5 for part B (Read a book your valentine team has read in Feb or added in Feb of any year).... and 9 for part C (Read a book your valentine team has read that was first published in Feb of any year). I currently have three books I will finish before the end of the month....one for each part so that leaves 13 books.
Do you guys think we can do it?!?
K~Terror....I noticed 34 Days isn't listed on the mini-challenge but it looks like you read it in the appropriate time frame. Are there any mini-challenges it would fit? Even if it's one in Part II I can move Too Late to Part I now because Nichole read it.
