I finished The Stars are Fire by Anita Sherive last night for the red 6. I'm on my phone so I can't post with links, and I'm sure I spelled the authors name wrong. Just thought it would be good to post since we seem to be working on the color cards first.
Thanks Annalisa. I'll put your name in the spot so we know it was covered and fill in the rest of the information when you post :)

Nice job on the colored cards everyone!We still need:
1 Red
9 Red
1 Yellow
2 Yellow (2)
6 Blue
8 Blue
3 Green
and Wild Draw 4 (2)
Anyone currently or planning to read something to cover one of them?
I have
that I'll get from the library this weekend to read which will cover a 6 Blue or Wild Draw 4 that I know of.
I'm reading a blue book now. I'm not sure what it will fit right now. I'm only 3 chapters in and it is still introducing the story and characters.

I have a green 3:
and
Blue 8
that I need to read. If someone else covers them before I get to them, no worries, but their on my list for this month for another challenge I'm doing.
I'm reading
for Yellow 1, it's middle grade but has almost 40K words according to AR.
I'm reading
for Blue 6.
Awesome - thanks all. I'm pretty sure we'll need to use them all.

It works for reverse too. I read this book a few years ago.
*Sorry that I haven't read much these past few days. I've had so much work for school. I'll finish some books this week.
Completion Post
The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows
Finished: 4/7/18
Fits:
1 - Title
2 - Tobiah character
5 - Indigo Kingdom setting
skip - Wilhelmina Korte character
Cover is over 80% blue but Ezra, while he has dialogue, is a minor character and dies early on in the story. I think it is best not to use him. I could also say the setting is Skyvale, but characters travel outside the city and are thus in the Indigo Kingdom the real setting. If others disagree with me then this would fit a blue 6 or 8.

updatedGreat job this weekend!!
Annalisa (not Andrea sorry!)- I used your book for the 8 Blue. When I looked Ezra had multiple dialogs and seemed to be important to the story not just a random one line character so I would consider him a character.
The April Mini challenge is up:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
It begins on April 12th 5am EST - there is a link in the thread for you to check your own timezone. Anything began AFTER this time will qualify for the mini.
We may need to come up with a plan for this one since there is quite a bit of tasks and they are pretty specific. If anyone has a book planned that they know for certain they will read and finish before April ends that fits a Task please let me know! You cannot start the book until the mini challenge begins.
I'm going to finish Lullaby (which will work for a Reverse by the 12th then hold off on starting anything else until then) I'll look and see what I've got to cover.
Most of the tasks should be able to be claimed without having to read the book. You should be able to determine if a book will fit without having to read it.
Any questions let me know. Sometimes it's easier to check out the tab on the spreadsheet to figure out what you need to do if you don't understand the post :)
The mini is 70 books (with a bonus of 4 more) and we have 70 books left to cover Uno so we are in a good spot to be able to complete this :):):):)
For Tasks 41 & 42 - it must be the exact same cover. Some variations for coloring are allowed but it has to match the picture. It cannot be the same book read by 2 different people:41. 2 different books with the same cover - Book 1
42. 2 different books with the same cover - Book 2
I will try and finish Jane Unlimited by Wednesday but it seems unlikely. I'm also unlikely to finish The Immortal Live of Henrietta Lacks by then. I think I have a few hours on the audio book left and I don't drive that much.
No worries Annalisa! Don't rush through, enjoy and finish when you can :)

Can also possibly used for Blue..."
I want to check on the setting because you seem a little unsure. Is is set in Hampton Ferry? What I saw says it is set in Annapolis, MD. Before I put it in as a Blue 3 I want to make sure it fits there.
