I'm not sure what book you are talking about. But post it and I'm sure we can find a place to include it.

:) Andrea, does your book fit any of the tasks already filled? We could use it for bonus, looks like we have a good chance of completing this mini on time!

So I was up all night and got some extra reading done.Now reading
for book or newspaper on the cover.Is Sandi's book going to work for SKY that she asked about from earlier? If not, I should still be able to fit in the book I posted about.

Ok, I've looked at the cover and I saw white dotes I assumed were stars. Does it fit anything else? Even a task that is already covered?

I've been doing the same thing. I'm currently listening to The Time Machine. Not sure what it will fit, but it is pretty short.
Well the dots are actually rain . Could fit :
Character goes to a party —-mc goes to a high school party
Character tells a lie ——Aristotle lies to his best friend about being in love with him

I've added it as a bonus task.
Melissa I used #5 where a character tells a lie. You were going to use that for one of your bonus books. I hope you have another task it fits.
Do we still need a book for sky and stars? I started
, it's pretty long but I have it on audio and will speed up. If we already have the task covered I'll look for something else we need.

I think you were reading a book for 37. where "Haiku" can be found in the title or text. That one we can't use one of Pixie's books for. Can you still read for that one?
Yeah I'm reading it now, should be done today.
We are very close to finishing. I don't think you need to speed it up.

Sandy how close are to finish something edible on the cover? I can move stuff around if you don't think you can finish or want to finish it :)
I have a book that can be used for the bonus tasks if you can't finish your book Melissa.

Cupid Has a Heart-On by Tara Sivec
Completed: 4/30/18
Mini:
21. with an edible item on the cover
Candy on the cover
I finished the book I was going to use for the bonus so I'll hold that in case we need it if we have to use Pixie's book for the Rick task that Su Ah is reading for. I'm 60% through the first of the same cover tasks then I'll start on the second book :)
Sorry you got stuck with this part of the challenge. It was hard to find the same cover books at my library.
No worries :)This second book isn't bad at all. I'm enjoying it so far so maybe I'll find a good series out of it!! :)
I hope so. I got an extra book I finished at lunch if we need it. It looks like we are more than covered though.
Thanks! I appreciate all of your help during this challenge. You were an awesome co-captain!! :):)
