Looks like it's up to you. We've got at least one option for each! :)

What about ?

[Laura]

Our books for all the regular hands are done!

If it can be a rat, you could use

[Sarah]

I am about 3/4 done! It is a long and heavy read - not my favorite, but powering through. Hoping to finish by tomorrow!

[Cinthia]

I'm almost done with my book. I found one with an instrument on the cover that I could do to help Kristel finish up her other two, or a black cover one to help Jessica. If none of those are needed, then I'll just read a random book for me. :)
Just let me know! We can do it!

[Laura]

Still waiting to hear back from Jessica. I hope she’ll at least be able to do the book with the same cover as mine!

[Eni]

thanks Laura and Cinthia. I´ll check those out after uno is over

[Laura]

Family emergency right now. I’ll let you know if I won’t be able to finish anything.

The look alike book is the longest and most likely to give me problems.

[Nicole]

Finished The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary

[Laura]

Situation resolved. My 17 year old got scared of the consequences of some lies she told and ran away, but she’s home. We’ll all be working on our relationships, but I should be good for my books.

I'm actually halfway through with the instrument cover book:)

But if somebody wants to read a book where a character travels to another planet, feel free! I haven't started that one yet.

I'll finish The hitchhikers guide then. Its an easier read...
Thank you Nicole for covering up my spot, really! :)

In the meanwhile I finished And then there were none. I'll update my readings when I move to the iPad.

And I'll let you know on my reading progress: I have 2h30 on a train fully reserved for reading. :)

I'm going to send Jessica a PM. Because if she c..."

I'm starting The Reluctant Queen which has a map in the front cover (in case Jessica doesn't finish The Hobbit

[Cinthia]

I see that Jessica finished The Hobbit on her goodreads profile (she just hasn't updated it here instead). I'll start reading Starflight, which can work for the black cover or travel to another planet, if needed.

Hmm, I guess I can read The Cuckoo's Calling for WORK in author's name

[Cinthia]

Nicole, I don't know if you can do that... Technically it's listed under Robert Galbraith , although goodreads shows J.K. Rowling listed second. If I remember correctly we have to go by how it would be shelved in a library, and it's Galbraith.

[Laura]

Let me ask about that.

[Laura]

J. K. Rowling doesn’t work because the K isn’t in her first/last name. :(

[Megan]

4/22-4/27
34. with something breakable on the cover

[Laura]

I found a quick book with Work in author's name. Fairest of All by Sarah Mlynowski. It's under 200 pages, so I should be able to finish it today. And I've procurred a copy of , so if Jessica doesn't post a status by tomorrow I'll start on that.

[Laura]

We have 9 books left!

Diana - The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Megan has back-up

Kristel - The Loneliest Girl in the Universe - Cinthia has back-up
✔ Kristel - The Hidden Oracle
Kristel - Our Dark Duet

Sarah - A Tale of Two Cities - Uno Pixie has back-up

Jessica - Good Omens - Cinthia has back-up
Jessica - Lost Rider - Laura has back-up

Eni - Immortal in Death - Cinthia has back-up

Laura - Fairest of All

[Laura]

Also, I'm going to start copying stuff over to the main sheet right now, so look for our rank to go up. :)

[Cinthia]

I finished , so I've added it to the spreadsheet under characters visiting another planet. That should give Kristel some breathing room. :)

I've started on the sequel, which also has a mostly black cover, so it can still work as a back up to Jessica's book.

[Cinthia]

I also finished . I don't think it works for anything left, except maybe the two B's in the author's name if it can be one in the first name and one in the last name.

[Laura]

It would work for the Bs.

[Kristel]

Thanks! I needed that help:)

[Laura]

Just finished my WORK book. I’ll update tomorrow and start on the 2nd look alike book if we don’t here from Jessica.

[Sarah]

Done With TOTC!!!!

[Laura]

Sarah wrote: "Done With TOTC!!!!"

Woo Hoo!

Can you put it on your Uno shelf, please?

[Laura]

5 books left!

Diana - The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Megan has back-up?

Kristel - Our Dark Duet

Jessica - Good Omens - Cinthia reading back-up
Jessica - Lost Rider - Laura reading back-up

Eni - Immortal in Death - Cinthia has back-up

[Cinthia]

Finished Starfall.

Is everyone going to finish their books?

[Laura]

We might need a back up for Diana’s book. It doesn’t look like Megan has started her Doctor Who book.

[Cinthia]

I've been trying to find a good alien book (that's also available) but haven't had much success. I'll let you know if I do. I think if we can find the alien book then everything else will be fine (assuming you finish the lost rider one). We should complete with everything else.
I'm assuming there were no alien books in Uno Pixie's shelf?

[Cinthia]

Ok, I've started Under Different Stars. I will push myself to finish it tomorrow, then we should be set. :)

[Eni]

Finished Immortal in Death. We dont need to post the names anymore, right??

Also im an idiot and just realized the author is a pseudonym for Nora Roberts... Will it still work?

[Laura]

It works. J. D. Robb is what Goodreads lists for the author, so that’s what we use.

[Eni]

Wheew... I was already trying to locate another one i could squeeze before the countdown.

Do we need a backup for something or we should be good?

I think we're good. Let me get things updated and I'll report our status here.

Currently Cinthia is trying to finish a book as back-up for Diana's alien book. That's our last book.

I'll get it done. Just a little bit more. :)

[Laura]

Yay!

[Megan]

4/27-4/30
9. Read a book where there are aliens

[Laura]

Yay!

[Cinthia]

I finished mine too and put it in the spreadsheet. It's complete. :)
Good job, everyone. When do we find out our final ranking?

[Laura]

Captains have 12 hours after the countdown hits zero to finalize their spreadsheet. So a little less than 24 hours from now.

[Laura]

We're all updated! We are currently in 3rd place. We did complete all hands and all possible points in each mini-challenge. It all comes down to the luck of the draw on the value of our hands. That will be the difference between the teams.

[Diana]

Hey! I arrived a bit past midnight (in the spanish hour) with 30 pages left to read, and I was all set to finish the book, but then I saw that both Chintia and Megan had backup books finished and went to sleep. I am sorry I didn’t say anything, I was kind of disconnected for these days.
On another note, it was great playing with you all. Captain and co-captains, you led our team in a very organized manner, thank you for all the work you had.
