All our Blue cards are now filled - but we can still use 2 of them for our Wild Draw 4 cards.

Kelly, we'll see if we can use yours depending on the characters that pop up. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a 1, 6 or 8! :-)

[Kelly]

There’s definitely a 6!

[Eldarwen]

Yess!! :-D

Slotting it in!

[Eldarwen]

These are the coloured cards we still need:

- 4 Green
- 4 Green
- 9 Green
- 4 Yellow
- 8 Green

And we also need to fill one more Wild Draw 4 card, for which you can use any of our coloured cards EXCEPT for 1 Blue and 6 Blue. Those we have used already.

You can put me in for the draw 4 with a blue 8. Im readung the whole wicked series. So Wicked Business is next. The last book is yellow, as well.

[Eldarwen]

That is fantastic, Ashlee! :-)

I can switch Pretty Little Liars to the 4 Yellow, then we can put Wicked Charms down for the 8 Yellow.

I hope that means you're enjoying the book!

[Eldarwen]

Hunt for green covers now, ladies! :-)

[Katie]

Well, I meant to post yesterday, so I got a couple extra in before my completion post!

That's a lot of green...I don't have any, but can look if I need to. :)

I'm trying! I'm trying!

[Eldarwen]

I'm going to get a couple of books out of the way first that I've started. Then I'm going to dive into my 6 Green dragon book. After that, I'll see. I might have another green book lying around that I can read fairly quickly.

Definitely a lot of green!!

The blue ones were quite a few as well but we got those out of the way surprisingly fast!

[Eldarwen]

Yay, more books!

[Eldarwen]

Been ages since I read that one!

[Cat]

there's a lot more of the Monster's story than I remember from last time I read it! and Victor is even more of a dick too...

It's funny how perspectives change

Hahah - I never liked Victor.

But yes, it's quite interesting to see perspective changes!

[Eldarwen]

It's that time of the month again!

APRIL MINI CHALLENGE

Have a read through and see what needs to be done. For questions, ask away! :-)

It's starting a little earlier this month, so any book STARTED after this countdown has run out counts towards the Mini Challenge.

[Cat]

oh, for xxxxxxxs sake! If I'd've known about the #33 - yellow & white cover - i'd've saved Idiot Brain!

Gah!

Also: 70 tasks! cue my usual flap about HOW MANY BOOKS!?!????

aaaand.... bring it on!

[Eldarwen]

Yeaaahh... orange cover.... ;-)

If nobody else has a pressing pink cover book they want to read, I can pick up the next Pretty Little Liars book as it's a beautiful pink for that task hehe.

[Eldarwen]

I'm finishing my current *cough* pink *cough* cover today haha.

Then I'll get a move on that House of Silk book. Such a shame that it's such an incredibly slow read because otherwise I'd enjoy it much more. But I should be done with it before the 12th. I sure hope so!!

[Louise]

What! I'll finish up my current books and see what fits

[Cat]

yeah, as I've not actually got anywhere with either Seven Killings or Her Body... (both for colour cards, so I WILL read them!), I'll restart them on 12th :)

[Eldarwen]

Or finish them before?

[Cat]

Eldarwen wrote: "Or finish them before?"

that ain't gonna happen!

Well, Her Body etc might, but I'd rather not but a rush on there.
Frankenstein (ptchooo! to Victor the Tool!) is nearly done - Elizabeth has just died, and I've a hardcopy on the go (Before the Fall - Noah Hawley) which'll keep me occupied.

[Eldarwen]

Ah yes, that should keep you busy for a while then.

Hahahaha Victor the Tool! I like that :-)

Perfect! We can use that to get rid of that pesky Draw 2 we have left in hand 14! Just going to move Kelly's book from 9 to 7.

[Cat]

Glad it was doubly useful! :)

[Cat]

4 more reverses still to fill though :(

and all those stupid green covers!

[Eldarwen]

I was going to pick up The Bear and the Nightingale once I'm done with The House of Silk so that'll be one less reverse we have to worry about. And it will also take care of the 50% black cover.

Unless you think it might work better for another task, Cat? Since you've read the book?
Black covers are fairly easy to come by after all.

[Cat]

main other one's it'd work for are also easy (siblings / set in country you don't live in / sky & stars on cover). Most obvious other one is character goes for a walk, I guess.

I absolutely LOVED it, by the way! Hope you enjoy :)

[Eldarwen]

Hope so, too! :-)

Hmm... maybe the walk one might be good then. There aren't too many books (that I'm reading anyway) where people just go for a walk.

[Eldarwen]

Ladies,

just as a little heads-up.

You might have noticed that Savana isn't around the thread much these days. Real life is demanding attention and she won't be able to read as much for a while and might not be able to finish a book for April.

Just thought I'd let you know.

As far as our hands/tasks are concerned, we should still be able to manage, so just keep doing what you're doing! :-)

[Cat]

Oh! Oh! Oh! An Argumentation of Historians has just arrived at my kindle, early!

I am reading it immediately!

So, to finish by tomorrow night :

Gatsby
Before the Fall
Argumentation

Feeling revived in my reading!

[Eldarwen]

Aah cool!

Enjoy the read :-)

I'm picking up a hopefully quick sports book that I need for another challenge: Offside.

[Eldarwen]

On second thought, since it's already the 10th, I'll start that one on the 12th.
