updatedLet's finish this month strong! I know it's a lot of books but I think we can do it. We've been awesome so far :):):)
Is anyone working on a 9 Red, 2 Yellow, or 3 Green?
I looked and I don't have anything that obviously fits one of those. I have a few green books but they don't fit a 3 as far as I can tell. I have a red but it doesn't fit a 9. I'm listening to Dark Matter, and it is red but I don't think it will fit a 9 either. So far it works for a 7 but not much else.
I can read a 2 Yellow, i have a couple of books that will work for it.
Are there any requirements for yellow and white cover task for the mini - does it have to be 50/50, or two most predominant colors, or other? Thanks!
I think it needs to be at least 50% either white or yellow and then the other color should be prominent. It doesn't have to be 50/50
Will this work?
- it's mostly yellow and white is the next biggest color - tineye linkIt also covers 2 Yellow :)
Yes, I think that would work. For yellow and white. Thank you.

Mini:
1. with “fun” in the text or title. Page 243 "Yes. I suppose it was ... fun." She felt guilty admitting that. A Vinchen warrior wasn't motivated by "fun" or thrill seeking."
4. set in a different world (i.e. not Earth). Set in Empire of Storms
5. where a character tells a lie. Page 381 "Yes," she said, surprising herself with the easiness of the lie." she said it is customary for women to carry swords.
8. with a map inside (e.g. inside the front cover)
38. where the title starts with H. Title "Hope and Red"
I'm reading something that will fit a Red 9 so that will be covered.
I got a book for the green three but it looks both green and blue and TinEye is confused as well. It looked green at the library and then in different like it looks blue. I think it was called The End we Start From. If someone else has a book that is clearly a green it would probably be better.
I asked about yours Annalisa. I'll let you know what they say.
Melissa wrote: "I asked about yours Annalisa. I'll let you know what they say."So I thought this book was long enough at 130 pages. It wasn't on the word count finder, most books aren't, but the audio book is only 2 hours and 20 minutes, so I don't think it can be used.
