updated - thanks for letting me know about the Reverses!Su Ah - sounds great!
Sandy - no worries! We all have life that gets in the way of reading sometimes :)
I can start with these for the mini:4. Read a book set in a different world (i.e. not Earth) - a couple of options
9. Read a book where there are aliens - The 5th Wave
10. Read a book where a character travels to another planet - also a couple of options
To Your Scattered Bodies Go -
23. Read a book where all the letters in YURI can be found in the title
or
35. Read a book written by an author with the initials P & J - author Philip José Farmer - we can use middle initial in this case, right?
52. Read a book with a space craft on the cover -

I think I may have a book with a pink cover. Tineye is pretty sure it is grey though so I'm checking because it looks pink to me.
As for the rest of the mini, I'm not sure what I have and how much I'll be able to read in the next couple weeks. I have two books I'm currently reading/listening to that I should finish in the next couple days. I am at the very end of the audiobook,
, so I'll finish that up tomorrow.
Annalisa - it looks pink to me but TinyEye says gray and red.I'm reading a book that will cover that task so if you still want to read that one would it fit somewhere else? I hate to take the chance they say no at the end of the month.
I asked in what color is this captains group and they said it was pink. I will see if it fits another task. Right now I was only looking for the obvious. I'm sure it will fit something though.
I'm currently reading: Can You Keep a Secret? - Fits the pink cover task
All the Missing Girls - Tall object on cover (Ferris wheel) I'll see if it fits a more difficult task as I'm reading it.
Ok sounds good. I'm listening to my book so whoever finished first can grab the pink cover and we'll use the other book for another one. I'm sure they will both fit somewhere else. :)

11. Read a book where a character goes for a walk - "'Would you favor me with a walk?' he asked... This will be the last time I hold the arm of a prince, she thought as they walked the bridge."
In Every Last Lie, the MC's mother goes for a haircut. However, I listened to the audio and didn't realize we needed it for a task at the time. Neither place I use to look up words, Amazon and Google Books, shows a page number.Do we have to be able to provide that to use the task or will the sentence alone be enough?
I have ebook and audiobook of It Ends with Us and I'm pretty sure I can find the word Pajamas in it but I won't have a page number. I'm not sure how I could get something like that. I could get a % for where in the book it is.
Page # is helpful if we can find it. If not the sentence will be enough. % in book will work as well. :)
Thanks to you both!
Michelle does Every Last Lie and Elephants Can Remember work for the Mini?
