Current books being read:

May the eggs and chocolate be plenty!

Eldarwen | 5004 comments My first reads for this month are going to be:

Pretty Little Liars (Pretty Little Liars, #1) by Sara Shepard which can cover the 8 Yellow and the 4 Yellow - so it can be switched around if necessary. I slotted it in for the 8 Yellow for now.

The House of Silk (Sherlock Holmes, #1) by Anthony Horowitz which can work for quite a lot actually. Used it to get rid of a Draw 2.

Cat (cat_uk) | 2147 comments Ok, so I'm reading:
The Second World War - which is S title or standalong
A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James - which is yellow, Seven in title, standalone, and lots of chars, including an N

I'll be reading:
Redshirts by John Scalzi - which is red, S author, standalone, and meta data says there's an H char
Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado - which is green, standalone, H title. it's short stories, so I don't know what chars will pop up

Oook, 9 Yellow and 6 Red are done.

The green one hasn't been added yet as there's no 3 Green, so we'll go with characters once you're reading :-)

Blue?? Is it blue enough?


message 962: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Unfortunately, it's grey. Or so says Tineye. I checked this morning when I put it on the spreadsheet :-(


message 963: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (louloo) | 314 comments Really? Because it’s definitely pale blue in real life. Shame I thought it might cover a coloured card.


message 964: by Ashlee (new)

Ashlee | 370 comments I will check for colored cards in the morning. I hope everyone had a blessed day! 🐰

Really? Well real life calls it. If you tell me that it's pale blue in real life, then we'll use it for a blue card because the grey was definitely way more than 50%.

So 8 Blue it is!
Thanks :-)

And hooray for physical copies hehe.

At least in my opinion. I was ripping my hair out while reading it. I hope you won't encounter the same issue!!

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Wooh! :-)

Keep those books coming!

Going to finish Pretty Little Liars by tomorrow and I also started reading The House of Silk, which seems to be going quite fast as well.


message 972: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 2147 comments I've 3 & 1/2 hrs left in The Second World War: the American's are slogging through Pacific / Japanese Islands at horrific cost; in Europe Churchill, Stalin & Roosevelt (boo hiss - the author really doesn't rate Roosevelt at all) are dividing up post-war Europe. It's all very good stuff, and I'll be finished tomorrow morning at the latest, but this evening probably.

I'm struggling a bit with A Brief History of Seven Killings, and I'm in two minds whether I should put it down till the weekend and come back to it fresher, or carry on with it now. It's possible that I'm about to get it...

Oh! and I've checked out Her Body & Other Parties (which I think I'll have to take story by story with others in between, so it'll be a while till I finish). In one of the stories there's Stabler char - we've a 6 Green, right? right? I really want to make use of that beautifully green cover!

I've not really thought much further ahead on other books, except for Redshirts, which is my post-2nd World War audio, but I'll keep you (exhaustively) updated!


message 973: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Yess, we DO have a 6 Green :-)) It absolutely would have been a waste not to use that cover for a coloured card hehe.

If you feel like you need a bit of a break from your Killings book though, then it might not be a bad idea to do just that. Sometimes that's better than forcing through. And we still have a lot of time before April is over :-)


message 974: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 2147 comments oh! and I also researched if we could use Redshirts for the draw two...
characters include:

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Perfect! :-D


message 976: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 2147 comments Finished The Second World War :)

Only S title & standalone, I'm afraid.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for a 1, 6 or 8!!

(Your blue Cherry Café book is in the blue 8 slot, but can be switched to 6 if necessary.)

Cat (cat_uk) | 2147 comments ok... is this yellow? A Goose Girl A Retelling of The Goose Girl (Entwined Tales Book 1) by K.M. Shea

Tineye says brown, but I don't like tineye! I think it's gold-ish, which Tineye tends to read as brown.

If it is yellow it's got a character (talking horse - actual talking) Falada and will be quick for a Yellow 4 card.... ?


message 986: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Mmmh... I'm not so sure about that one. It doesn't scream yellow at me when I look at the cover.

Also not so sure about the talking animal. :-/


message 987: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 2147 comments well, I won't get it then!
it popped up on Amazon feed, and I thought it might work; I'm not desperate to read it :)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments That's awesome!


message 991: by Eldarwen (new)
