Annalisa | 1659 comments I reading a book published on the 6th of February.
I also have a book not set on earth.
I think I might have a book with a heart on the cover.
I'm sure they will fit other options as well.

Jessamine Lee (jessaminelee) | 322 comments I'm currently reading Leah on the Offbeat (Creekwood, #2) by Becky Albertalli which I think could work for: 21. Read a book with an edible item on the cover - the beverage she's holding?
And it definitely works for: 26. Read a book with 2 B's in the authors name - Becky AlBertalli

Melissa | 1347 comments 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.


message 818: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments 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.

message 829: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments 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.


message 830: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments 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 :)


message 831: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments 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.

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.

Annalisa | 1659 comments 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.

Melissa
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.

It will fit 23. where all the letters in YURI can be found in the title. That is what I see without digging.
