Yeah i know. Thats why i said i cluld read it if we still need it for a yellow cover. I ended up confused on how many yellows we needed x_x
Also i ended up having a very busy weekend so i didnt have a chance to read. But im having plenty of time today so ill try to read fast.
And dam that mini oO ill go look for books that fit those tasks
Hi everyone - Sorry to be MIA - I work with college athletics at a conference office. The spring is typically busy to begin with, but with the crazy weather (so cold), we have been busier. Plus, with the new kitten having seizures again, I haven't had time (or sleep) to do anything.
I have managed to finish two audiobooks though in
What's So Funny?: My Hilarious Life
Bossypants
Not sure if they help anywhere. I am halfway through Shutter Island. I will take a look at the mini challenge and see what I have.
Thanks for your patience!
Sarah
I added some planned books to the mini challenge ss
1 - series
2 - title
7 - Violet
8 - Earl Strikes
9 - Naomi
SKIP - Katrina
Finished Shutter Island and plugged it into the spreadsheet.

We all get busy sometimes! I hope the kitty is doing better!
Have you added the audiobooks to the spreadsheet? At the very least, as Stand Alone books they work for a 0. And both authors work for a 2, as well.

I believe I did - if not, I will check!
And thanks, he had three more seizures last night. Rushed him to the Pet ER. Didn't have one through the night and is scheduled to see a neurologist this morning.
Does A Court of Thorns and Roses count for 28. Read a book set in a country you do not live in?
Or anything else?
I also have...
Bellamy and The Brute (not sure where it can work)
and
Brownies & Betrayal
works for 62. Read a book with baked goods on the cover
Sarah, if you live in the country of A Court of Thorns & Roses I’m coming to visit you! It should work, but I’ll check the Q&A.

Brownies and Betrayal can also work for “pink cover”, if you are reading the edition you posted.
Court of Thorns works for #4, a different world. I think the different country has to be on our planet. :)

Laura wrote: "Sarah, if you live in the country of A Court of Thorns & Roses I’m coming to visit you! It should work, but I’ll check the Q&A."Ha! Roadtrip - let's do it!
I’ll wait until you’re immersed in book 2 and then visit. That’s the best one!

Finished The Faerie Guardian- itspast 1am here so its already on the 12thi put down Redwall and The Girl With All the Gifts on the april mini. Its what ill be reading next. I also found a book that fits at least 6 of the tasks and its pretty fast to read, so ill leave it for last in case we reach the extra 4.
It has to be started after the countdown hits zero, not just the 12th for you. That’s in about 6 hours.
Finished Feversong.This mini challenge seems so difficult to me because we won't know where some books might fit until we read them, which makes planning hard. We just need to keep an eye out for words needed, professions, etc; and if it fits, try to move them from things that we can see before we read (such as cover colors, author's names, etc). That might be the easiest way.

For words in text (or even professions), you can use Amazon's Look Inside feature. It's a lifesaver for word hunts!
Laura, that's good to know. I'll try to check it out.

Agree! I also use books.google.com if Amazon doesn't have a preview :)
Completed: Fool Moon
Can someone please explain tasks #40 and #41 on the mini to me please?
Jessica, 2 books that have the same photo/design on the cover. There may be slight color or different zooming, but it is clearly the same photo. For instance:

The don't have to be read by the same person, so we would need to do some co-ordinating. But they can be read by the same person.

I think the first one will need to wait until you've read it to see what's in it. For the second one, I'll put it down for the baked good on cover, but note that it works for the pink cover, as well. I find baked goods to be harder to find, personally.

Cool - I will start that! It happened by chance. I was on bookbub browsing the deals and BAM, it popped up. Meant to be :-)
Finished If I Was Your GirlI can't find the search option on amazon. I can click on "look inside", but it only shows a few pages and I don't see any place for searching.
You have to make sure that you have the print book selected, not the Kindle edition. Then, if it’s available for that book, there will be a search box.

Now that I'm looking at that second set, I was only looking at the foreground. The stuff in the background of the picture is different. How about we go for the first set? I'll do

Is this one eligible for the mini-challenge?

No, it was started before the countdown. Everything from now on is eligible, though. :)
Laura wrote: "It has to be started after the countdown hits zero, not just the 12th for you. That’s in about 6 hours."oh yeah i know. i was just letting you gals know why it would say the 12th instead of the 11th. i didnt count it on the mini challenge
Finished Brownies and Betrayal. Liked it more than I thought. Reminds me of the Hallmark Channel mystery shows that I’m obsessed with!
My version did have the pink cover if we need to use it for that!

A few years ago (probably 10) Hallmark channel had a series of mystery movies about a bookshop owner, with that girl from E.R. and the show Life Goes On. I really enjoyed those.
Kellie Martin! That's the name. :)

Yes! That’s exactly what I thought of! I went to visit my parents last weekend and my mom and I actually watched that show! Maybe they brought it back? Regardless, even if it’s reruns, I was hooked!
And I was like THATS LUCY FROM ER - which I believe I can watch on Hulu. It’s the little things 😊

They were called Mystery Woman, right? I wonder if they're on the Hallmark Channel app? Or on Netflix? We don't have cable/satellite.
We have 7 tasks done, which is 10% in 2 days! And we have 17 days left. We got this!
I am about to finish Poke the Box but it only works for orange cover.I used Amazon’s search tool and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time contains the word “pajamas” in the text. Would you mind switching things around Nicole?
That’s fine with me. Did you happen to remember which page “pajamas”is on?
