[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Think this might have been missed for the mini challenge.

28. Set in a country you do not live in - Set in New York City, USA.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Finished . Shelf and sheet noted.

No 41 for the mini challenge.

It wasn't a bad read Karen, quite interesting although parallel stories and jumping of time frames detracted a bit from the overall read. I gave it a 3.5 stars. Happy to lend it to you if you want to read it.

I've got a new one to read: Viola in Reel Life and it has a camera on the cover task #65.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Thanks Lisa, I've added your JD Robb book now :)

Sounds like Anastasia was ok, but nothing new then. I guess it is a hard topic to write a new story about!

[Teri]

I can do A Rose By Any Other Name by Charlie Cochet for 14

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I do have a book with B and Q in the title - and I will possibly be able to finish it in time.

When does the challenge end. About 8 days?

Yes, especially now that the forensics have solved it. It was more the style of the book I had problems with, a lot of toing and froing between the past and the present and reverse story telling made it hard to follow at times.

Mini challenge - 4,9,10.
Alien Bram travels on the Kindred Mother Ship to the planet of Princess Alanah Kingsdaughter to save her people from a killer asteroid. Yep, space smut but a fun read between the serious stuff.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I found a book on my TBR that fits Title with the Letters SKY - Slayer's Kiss. Should be able to just squeeze it in.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Ok, so I did some shelf trawling today and found some books that some members who don't come to the thread have read, and managed to find some tasks for them to claim for. It means my current book is kind of pushed aside, but that's ok, because it can work for part 2 if we get the first part completed.

Main UNO update
We only have 2 cards left to cover! wow!
One is a coloured card which Teri is currently reading - so we are totally solid with getting those 16 hands done. Great job everyone!!

Mini challenge update
So, some of these ones will take deliberate choosing of books and we have 8 days and one hour to read.


17. which includes characters who are siblings
46. with the sky and stars on the cover (or set in space as Lisa's book can cover either)
52. with a space craft on the cover
60. with all the letters in WORK can be found in the authors first and last name
62. with baked goods on the cover

if we can get through them, we then have the bonus 4 books where we combine any 2 tasks to together and read a book for it (we just can't duplicate tasks for those 4 books. So, for example, if I cover #30 and #69 for a bonus task, we can't use those 2 again for the remaining 3 bonus books)

[Saraaa]

Hi, I can read a book by Stephanie Perkins for #56.

[Sassafrass]

I'll do instrument on cover

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

fabbo

thanks ladies

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Dipping into my space smut, I can read which covers either of these. -

45. set in space ( On a spaceship with cyborgs)
46. with the sky and stars on the cover

[Sreshtha]

I'm almost done with The Hobbit which can go for a book with a map inside..

[Apoorv]

I can do the 'Chance' in the title book.

Great job everyone so far in getting the team so close to the finish. We are almost there, and we are veeeeeeeeery close to finishing on top. Eeks! :D

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Thanks everyone that leaves us with 6 unclaimed. I have updated the message above

Yes Apoorv, we are soooooo close :o

[Teri]

hey, so I'm reading Storm Runners with my youngest son, it has a hurricane...this count for 64? it has 143 pages

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Yes Teri that counts - I checked and it is 28,618 words :)

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Finished

Either 45 or 46 for mini challenge.

Reading for space craft on the cover. No 52

[Saraaa]

Mini Challenge:
40-Book on the cover

[Saraaa]

Hi, Teri! I kinda guess the twist but I liked it! Let me know what you think once you’ve read it. :)

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Guess what team?

We have finished our regular UNO cards!

Just Teri's Wild & Free left for the duplicate 3 Blue (Teri, I can manoeuvre things around if you would rather read something else)

So no need to record the regular UNO details for your books, but we do still have some tasks that are open for the mini challenge, so if you can find books to fit these to read over the next five days, then we may actually be able to win this thing :o

17. which includes characters who are siblings
46. with the sky and stars on the cover (or set in space as Lisa's book can cover either)
60. with all the letters in WORK can be found in the authors first and last name
62. with baked goods on the cover

edit--- I have moved a book as I think 17 is easier to find than 33 (yellow and white cover)

if we can get through them, we then have the bonus 4 books where we combine any 2 tasks to together and read a book for it (we just can't duplicate tasks for those 4 books. So, for example, if I cover #30 and #69 for a bonus task, we can't use those 2 again for the remaining 3 bonus books)

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Saraaa wrote: "Finished today. It fits 0, 2, 6, 9 and Skip. Unfortunately, nothing from the pending mini challenge reads fits in this book."

Are there any tasks that it can work for though? Because then we could add it to the "bonus" section" and if we can get through all our tasks it can count for bonus points

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Karen, I'm reading for Spacecraft on the cover - that's a flying saucer/spacecraft in the sky.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

fabbo, thanks Lisa.

That leaves us with just 4 :o

I've got ready on audio, but I need to finish by book for #35 first.
If #62 is still open when I finish it, I'll take that one, otherwise I will go searching for whatever is left

[Teri]

I swear I will finish Wild and Free--lol--it's just...not good....but I will do it!

Let me look at the bonus stuff and remaining tasks. I'm totally free this weekend except for soccer Saturday morning, so I should be able to get through a few books, I hope

[Saraaa]

Hi, Karen! One of Us Is Lying can work for #17.

[Teri]

would this work for the bonus as far as 30--tall object on cover because-mansion and 31-mostly sky?

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Finished no 52 spacecraft on cover
