It's tall.. but not as tall as I thought it would be, LOL.
Lol I agree Lisa!
and I found
on audio for 35. written by an author with the initials P & J
I made a mistake--In Other Words...Murder isn't out, but I found Stranger on the Shore and the MC is an investigative writer.

According to TinyEye, this is about 10% yellow and 0% White (which is just simply weird, if you ask me!)

Hello! Question on mini-challenge #16, does it have to be a courtroom or a court in a palace is okay? Also, my current read has a heart on the cover for #53.

I hope that makes sense :)
Teri wrote: "Finished The Rules of MagicYELLOW 7 MC vincent ( and I loved him!!)

He was such a great character. I've found the Emily Dickinson quote too :) on my kindle it is at 20%
message 803 updatedI haven't put your space smut (I'll always remember you calling it that teehee) down Lisa because it works for a few and no-one else has claimed the others yet
What! No one else wants to claim the dubious space smut spots, LOL... No worries. I've finished my Green 5 book as well.
. That's all my coloured cards finished.
Saraaa wrote: "Hello! Question on mini-challenge #16, does it have to be a courtroom or a court in a palace is okay? Also, my current read has a heart on the cover for #53."Oh I just noticed you finished Faithful. I have a copy of that, and Teddy goes to court in that one :)
And I forgot to update my read books :o
works for something breakable on the coverI also completed my duplicate cover one
And
also covers 28. Set in a country you do not live in for the mini challenge. I'm going to start my duplicate book cover up next..
That looks pretty predominant to me, but if it’s super boring feel free to dnf ;)
Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "That looks pretty predominant to me, but if it’s super boring feel free to dnf ;)"Nah, I'll finish...eventually LOL
I am starting a book that is set in a different world, where characters travel to a different planet, most likely going through space, which has aliens in it, and may have an astronaut somewhere there... so yeah, it will fit in for all of that.P.S. Can be used for the bonus task as well (which weirdly I have seen teams completing even before finishing their list of tasks, which I assuming isn't how it should be done. Right?)
Finished A SEAL's SeductionCards:
1-1st of a series
2- Author Tawny
6-Title
Skip- MC last name Pierce
Mini Challenge: 69 Honesty in the text: 5% "Those were as high on her relationship list as honesty and communication."
Ok, for the space smut (teehee)I've put Lisa's book to #10, Teri's to #9 and Apoorv to #4 (but we can move them around if needed)
Apoorv wrote: "P.S. Can be used for the bonus task as well (which weirdly I have seen teams completing even before finishing their list of tasks, which I assuming isn't how it should be done. Right?) ..."People can read them now, but they don't get points unless they have their required number read for the first part. That's why I haven't worried to much about that bit yet as we still have lots of books to read
Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Ok, for the space smut (teehee)I've put Lisa's book to #10, Teri's to #9 and Apoorv to #4 (but we can move them around if needed)"
I'm not sure Teri's and Apoorv's fall into that category, they probably are legitimate books set in space... but never fear mine definitely does!
Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Saraaa wrote: "Hello! Question on mini-challenge #16, does it have to be a courtroom or a court in a palace is okay? Also, my current read has a heart on the cover for #53."Oh I just noticed you ..."
Yes! I'm updating the spreadsheet now. :)
Finished
. It fits 0, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, Skip and Reverse; can be considered for 3 blue, 6 blue or 9 blue. It also fits numbers 11, 16 and 17 for the mini challenge.
