SandyL | 336 comments Sorry I've been MIA - it's crunch time at work. But after next week I'll have plenty of time to read, catch up and help with the mini-challenge. Thanks for your patience with me!!!


message 702: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments 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 :)


message 703: by Elena (new)

Elena  | 419 comments 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 - Rendezvous with Rama (Rama, #1) by Arthur C. Clarke


message 704: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments I'll check about the middle initial.

Thanks!

Annalisa | 1659 comments 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. It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

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, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot , so I'll finish that up tomorrow.


message 711: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments 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.

message 713: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments 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.


message 714: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments 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.


message 715: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments 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. :)

Su Ah I'm going to use Cruel Crown for the Walk Task - can you let me know what characters go on the walk and what page it's on? Google Books doesn't have a preview or i would check on my own. Thanks! :)

Michelle's Empty Nest (mlundy5) | 13 comments 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?


message 725: by Annalisa (last edited Apr 13, 2018 07:19PM) (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments 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.


message 726: by Melissa (last edited Apr 13, 2018 10:41AM) (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments 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?

Every Last Lie will but not Elephants Can Remember.

Every Last Lie is the one where a character goes for a haircut/to a hairdresser.

Do you want be to post the sentence?

Melissa | 1347 comments Michelle - would you say that Every Last Lie has a twisted or convoluted plot? I would say so right? The entire book (view spoiler)

If you want to read this book do not read the spoiler. It gives away the entire book. :D
