I'm not sure if a drink would count. I'll use it for # 26 tho :)
Nice catch Annalisa. Would your book work for something else as well as the 6th? If so, I'll put Su Ah's book there.
It works for 34 something breakable on the cover it has a glass snow globe on the cover which happens to already be broken. The book is Shadowsong. It also has a poem included in the text, but I think that task is covered.

I'm going to listen to A Christmas Carol today to cover the 14. where the author is named Charlie, or Charles. It's only 3 hours 9 mins so I'll finish up quick.
I'm listening to "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" It fits humor tag. I think that the book currently covering that can be moved to cover MC is a writer. I'm not sure if it will fit anything else, but I just started it.

Lets not forget about the 2 books we get from uno pixie. It might be good to go ahead and plug those in. For instance. Rebecca Skloot and Debora go on a road trip in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. The cover might be orange I'm not sure though.
And there is a book that would fit for author named Rick.
Yea, I'll wait a couple of days to see what still needs to be finished then I'll enter them. I was hoping we could use them for bonus books. :)I'll do it on Friday at least get an idea as to what books fit where.
Thanks Annalisa :)
That makes since. To use them for the bonus points. Did Michelle's book get added? It has a sky on the cover. And I think it isn't set on earth. You would have to check that one with her though.

Annalisa wrote: "Michelle was Through the Every Night set on earth? I'm trying to figure out if it fits any of the mini tasks."I can't say for sure so I didn't list it.
You can't really tell if it's on a dystopian earth or set in another world.

I found a place where it will fit. There are 3 Es in the title. I'm going to move a few books around to get it to fit.
I moved a few books around to get Through the Ever Night to fit and ended up covering task 2 where the characters enjoy their job. Melissa you were reading a book that fit there. I hope you have another place it can fit or if you haven't started it yet maybe you can read something else.
UpdatedMelissa
I use task 2 and task 4 when I added to the mini. One was covered by me and one was covered by you. I am hoping that my books will cover something else. I'm pretty sure they will.

Thanks for all the moving around Annalisa :):)My book will also work for the 2 B's in author name- or something else I'm not too far into it. I'll hold off and see if there's another book I can get to fit somewhere else in the meantime. I'll use Su Ah's book for road trip and move yours to #57 scientist character
