I put this in the mini challenge as a J since the goodreads description said it was about Josef K. a banker. If this is not a big enough character let me know if there is another character that would fit one of the mini letters.

updated to hereKeep your eyes out for a 'G' and 'U' for the mini challenge :)
I'm working on a book to fill the 3 Red so after that we will only have 2 Wild Draw 4's to read for the colored cards - anyone working on something or have something that will fit?Michelle - I used your book to fill a Wild Draw 4 the 9 Blue ( It just covered)
If not, I'll look for something - we can only use a Colored Card once to cover the Wild Draw 4 so the 4 Green & 9 Blue are no longer an option.
I'm reading an Ursula K. Le Guine book so that should work for a U.
Great - that will complete one word then :)
I will start a book later today that works for the 4 in Connect 4 for our mini challenge. 4:50 from Paddington

I'm reading
- not sure if it will help or not (you had previously told me we didn't need it)
That would fit a red 5. I think that would work for a wild draw 4.
@ Sandy - when i said that I forgot about the Wild Draw 4s!!! We absolutely can use it so thank you :)Is anyone else going to get hit with this storm? The Philly area is supposed to get 8-12 inches. again. Is it spring yet?!
Wow that's a lot of snow again. We have a chance of snow in the mountains of NC and I'm hoping we get a little. We got our big snow in November and I don't think we will get another. I have a few books I could read with red covers but I'm going to read the book for a U first. If we still need a wild draw 4 this weekend, I'll read a colored covered book. I felt silly yesterday at the library looking at book covers and saying nope not red enough. I hope they are good but I really did pick them by their cover, People keep saying I shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
updated.45 more books to finish off the mini-challenge. That is going to be tough - can we do it?! We can use 2 books from Pixie's shelf so I'll wait to the end to see what we need to fill.
@ Annalisa - LOL I was doing the same thing last week when I was in the library :)Once I finish my red book I'm going to hope to read some quick books to fill some spots. I'll be working from home tomorrow so that should give me plenty of time to read and finish a book or 2.
We just got 8 inches last week. We've had nothing all winter and got hit with 3 storms in March. It's crazy - I need the sun and warmth LOL
They are talking about up to 12 inches here in Baltimore (MD) too, it's sleeting now.I'm reading a book with a Q character, should be done in a couple of days. I got three (!) of my library holds lended all at once, a little overwhelmed lol, hopefully they will have some of the trickier letters. I also have a couple of shorties starting with A, I'll try to squeeze them in :)
Stay safe! I'm so ready for summer LOLSounds good Elena :)

@ Sandy - be careful! I've never been in a mudslide but I can imagine it must be so scary
I've found a book that will work for a 7 Green to use for one of the remaining Wild Draw 4s.
