How's everyone enjoying the challenge? This team is doing an awesome job! We should be getting another mini-challenge the end of next week. They are always so much fun :)


message 435: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments Looks like we still need a few colored cards filled. Is anyone currently reading something or planning to read something that will fit these?

3 Red
5 Red
7 Green
9 Blue - Su Ah is reading for this one.


message 436: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments I'm going to read Fablehaven for the Green. I'm not sure if it will fit the 7 or not but I should get done it quick so we may still need it. If I find something to fit the 7 I'll let you all know.


message 437: by Elena (new)

Elena  | 419 comments I'm really curious about the next mini, they tend to be really creative here!

I'm reading Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut for Red 5 (and if we can use color tasks for Draw 2 it will cover 7 as well and we can use Su Ah's book for another 7 if it works for everyone :)).

Also let's not forget about Wild D4, we'll need to duplicate 4 of our colored covers for those!


message 438: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments We have two greens and I'm pretty sure the book Michelle read Keylime Pie Murders would work. I'm not sure if it fits either of the greens we have though.

SandyL | 336 comments I can read It Happened One Autumn (Wallflowers, #2) by Lisa Kleypas - I'm at work right now so can't check which reds it fits, but I can put it next on my reading list if we still need it. LMK. Thanks! Also, I have a couple of books I've finished, just haven't had time to log them into goodreads and post here - I'll try and get caught up this weekend.

It's over 70% green on TinEye and we have a green 4. I'm going to move it to one of our Wild Draw 4s. That means we have three more.


message 442: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments Duh!!! I'm smacking my head over here - I completely didn't think of the Wild Draw 4s!!!!

Thanks Elena and Annalisa. Michelle's book definitely works for one of them.

I'll move Su Ah's book so we can use yours for the Draw 2.


message 443: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments Sandy - I can't see if it would work for anything from the description. You can start reading it and if it doesn't work just wait to finish until April starts. That's up to you.

For Red covers we need: 1, 3, 4, 5

Sandy's book will work for 1 - one in title, or 5 - title starts with I so far :)
