Hi, I hope y'all don't think I'm crazy, I had a hard time wrapping my head around this mini challenge for some reason, I know it's not that difficult, but there you have it.

So I am currently reading , could this be used for:

Team Hydrus since they both have animals on the cover?

or am I still looking at this the wrong way?

[Sassafrass]

Yes. that's right.

they could also be linked because they are both first books in a series.

[Teri]

I read ...would TEam Tucana work since they are both naked torsos?

[Teri]

Okay, yay...do I need to post it somewhere else? I will probably finish the one today as well

I believe Karen's been popping in and handling the updates elsewhere based on what we post in this thread (but anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

I can definitely claim 3 Blue with Force of Nature.

I'll keep you updated if I can make Killman Creek or They All Fall Down fit 1, or All the Beautiful Lies fit 7 or 9 since they're over 50% for blue, green, and red, respectively, and they're in my up-next pile.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Can you run this one for Red 7 . It's got a V character. "Viper"

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Thanks Kaila.

Will do, Lisa. Captains have said yes to your yellow 9 too :)

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Woo hoo. I've had this at home for ages waiting to be read. Love those naughty Borgias.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Finished and shelved my two books for the mini challenge.

Oh i love that one!

[LaurLa]

Hi! LaurLa here from Team Pluto!


I finished Born in Death based off the recommendation here of Naked in Death. I've been slowly reading this series and am always glad when I get the chance to use one for a challenge! Even at book 23, I still really enjoy the series. Roarke and Eve never get old in my opinion and I love digging deeper into their psyches as the series goes along. The mysteries are great too! Thanks for the rec so I could use this book in a challenge!

Goodo Apoorv - I'll swap out the book I'm reading for yours (so then I can save mine for March ;) )

[K]

Finished The French Girl for the mini challenge!

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Woohoo!

Just one book left and we are all done for Feb. great work everyone!

[Sassafrass]

I finished Storm Glass last night but fell asleep before I posted. So We're done

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

5 minutes until March starts :)

Great work everyone getting all of our cards and mini challenge completed!

Looks like there are two teams tied for first place, and we've finished in fourth which is awesome! For those who have played before, luck is such a big part of winning this (as with the real card game) as it can come down to the hands that are dealt! But I do love knowing that we accomplished everything given us for the month :)

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Well done everyone.. and now onto March.

And we're only 15 points behind 1st.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Finished

Shelf and spreadsheet updated.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Thanks for starting us off for March, Lisa!

I'm almost done with mine. Luckily I was able to swap it out with apoorv for the mini challenge because the audiofile stopped working yesterday when I was out and about! Had to re download today

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

I finished

Oh I loved The Lies of Locke Lamora!

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

In case anyone is wondering why I'm allocating to our spreadsheet in a seemingly crazy way...

I'm covering all the 7s first as we have so many and there isn't always a V in a book. Followed by Reverse and 8s
Once they are covered, I'll start filling the hands in ascending order :)

Omg! The lies of locke lamora was amazing!!! Killed me but serious heart eyes

[Teri]

I finished Up In Flames
Cards:
0-stand alone
2-MC last name Turner
6-MC last name Syracuse

Also, Sassafrass--your line was above mine on the spreadsheet, I don't know if you are reading Death Comes to Pemberley or not, but I have read that if you want to add it to the Reverse thing.

[Sreshtha]

@Karen and Teri - Yes!! Ever since I finished it, I've been trying to get all of my friends to read it.
I loved it!! There were situations in the book where I thought that there was no way that he was going to get out of it.. but he ended up surprising me with his intelligence and quick thinking..

I actually ended up reading it twice as I re-read it before starting book 2 ;)
It was totally a cross between "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" and "Oliver Twist" for me.
The second book I didn't enjoy as much. I think maybe doing them back to back made the whole long con a bit much.
I'll get to book 3 some day!!

I'd recommend Theft of Swords to you as it is quite different, but still has two strong male friends who are criminals and is a lot of fun
