Don't need the s/sheet now we have finished the hands, thanks :)
Had a crazy night last night. Will finish Wild and Free after work-I’m about 75% done and The other will be done saturday. Sorry it has taken me so long
Finished Veiled Innocence 4/27/18fits:
#1 (word fun on page 45)
#5 (some one tells a lie -- both MCs tell lies about the nature of their relationship)
#25 (Hero is a teacher)
#50 (some on takes a risk -- both MCs take risks being together)
#61 (twisted and convoluted plot -- the story is told from going back and forth between past and present)
Now I'm going to read The Fix UpIt definitely fits for:
#15 character is a lawyer (MC Sterling is a lawyer)
#13 where a character is named Charlie, or Charles (Sterling has an Uncle Charles who tells him of his inheritance that's the basis of the book)
#5 character tells a lie -- Sterling lies in the first chapter of book, says he's going to church to get rid of his one night stand
I finished Wild and Free-finally--gah, I did not enjoy it at all...Anyway, it works for 31-sky is predominant on the cover
Finished 46. Sky and stars on cover.
well done finishing Teri!I finished
for author with initials P and J
It was interesting but just a bit too slow going and the writing style didn't grab me

Bummer, my last two have not been great...but I'm hoping the aliens book will be--i have loved the other three
Hey Karen!Just a heads up, for Veiled Innocence it should be #1 and #25 (teacher) not 26 --that one is for 2b's in author's name.
Thanks!
Finished:The Fix Up
4/28/18
Fits:
#5 character tells a lie -- Sterling lies in the first chapter of book, says he's going to church to get rid of his one night stand
#13 where a character is named Charlie, or Charles (Sterling has an Uncle Charles who tells him of his inheritance that's the basis of the book)
#15 character is a lawyer (MC Sterling is a lawyer)

April Mini Challenge
62. Read a book with baked goods on the cover.
Fits: Coconut Cake on the cover
OMG! I just did some random calculations with the other teams in contention with us and how much they can score based on their pending books, and if we get all the remaining books read in time, we can clock up to 190 more points and that would mean that we will end this challenge at NO.1 !!

:) So glad you found an awesome book to read!
Can you give me a sentence about how it counts for the task so I can add it to the s/sheet? Thanks!

Wow, I love challenges regardless but it would be nice to be in a winning team. The closest I've come before is about third. Are we just about done reading?
I have a question. How come our total for the april mini is 820? Shouldn't it be 850?We have 700 for tasks, 30 for completion bonus and 120 for the bonus tasks. Doesn't that equal 850? I'm confused.

Yes google is acting funny. Should be ok now
Teri wrote: "Are we done? I finished Seducing Professor Coylemc is a teacher: 25
there is a party:3"
yes! We are all done!
Now the waiting game to see if other teams load in lots of books between now and about 17 hours from now (we give the captains 12 hours from the official end to complete their s/sheets). Then we will have official rankings
But I am so happy that we were able to finish everything! Gosh I thought this month would be really hard, but we did it. YAY!
I've just asked the Pixies to check over our s/sheet before we are announced as the winner as obviously it isn't appropriate for me to check it :oI've never won UNO before, it is a little exciting. I'll have to have Eldarwen do the randomising of cards again next year... lol!!
Anyone off to Tower Teams next?
