More than 50% of a colour.
This was the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning, lol!

HP isn't enough of any one color, but Fool Moon works for Blue. And I've read both, so they work as Reverses, too! :)
Can I ask everybody to just post in here when you finish a book. You don't need to post a lot of info if you update the tracking spreadsheet, but just so I know that there is new finished books to play with.Speedy reader award goes to Diana, who has already finished Romeo & Juliet!
Way to go Diana!I should be able to finish Phantom of the Opera tonight or tomorrow!

We're off to a great start!

Let’s go team!
I finished Phantom of the Opera. I think I put some info in the tracking sheet. I’ll update it tomorrow with more info. Easier to do that on a desktop than my phone :-)
I'm so excited to add my 2 books finished and update the spreadsheet. Not sure if I posted this earlier, but just so you ladies know the way I usually work is to fill 7s, 5s, and 8s first. I think V, I, & E are the difficult letters. Then I'll also pay attention to the color cards next. So, until those numbers are filled, our spreadsheet will look like we're all over the place, but in the last week & 1/2 to 2 weeks of the month, suddenly our hands will start to finish quickly. I know some other captains just start at the top and fill down, but then they end up moving things around, so I find this works better. :)

I sometimes think this way helps to read for numbers/colors we really need!

Got half our Color cards covered with what's been read so far! But we still need to match color cards for the Wild D4s, as well.
Do I need to add these to the spreadsheet or can I just put what I've read and someone will put the books where we need them? Finished two books:
The Bette Davis Club by Jane Lotter
2 - begins with The and character Tully
Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote
2 - author Truman
3 - character Holly

Hi Christine, from what I understand you add the books to the Kuiper Book Tracking (found on the 5th post of this thread), and the team captains will add them to the Team Spreadsheet. They'll make the decisions of which cards to use.
If you would rather not work with the spreadsheet, we can add your books for you.

Don't worry, I already added your books to the spreadsheet :)
Hi everyone!Ugh. I’m still on my second book. I made a game time decision to adopt a new kitten over the weekend. I’m hoping to be back on track this week with getting it done since the little munchkin will be settled in better :-)

Oooowww, how adorable! :D
Completed The Forbidden Wish. I actually finished it yesterday, but my oldest turned 9 (a moment to weep about that please) and I had a houseful for his party. LOL!We are off to a terrific start! YAY!!
We are! I finished one late last night/early this morning while riding herd on a 10 year old slumber party, so I'll get our spreadsheet updated in just a bit.

Ahh! New kitties are adorable. :)
He really is! He was the runt of the litter. Had a rough start to life. His foster momma did an amazing job. He is settling in now. Named him Tibbs (after the cat in 101 Dalmatians). His big brother Gus (yup, after the fat mouse in Cinderella) isn’t too sure, but is super curious. I’m sure I will have fun stories to tell you guys :-)
Color cards left:Yellow 1
Green 7
Jessica has a book on the spreadsheet (Rules of Magic) that works for the Yellow 1, but that Green 7 might be tricky.
When you look at this, keep in mind that not all captains update their spreadsheet as frequently as I do. I get on my computer when I finish a book, which will be once every day or two. But, we are currently in second place.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

I should be finished with The Rules of Magic by tonight for that yellow 1 card
If we still need a green 7 I can do any of the following:
Voldemort
Voldemort; book 7
Vaughan

All excellent choices! Whichever one you decide to do, just add it to the spreadsheet.
Way to go Christine, for completing hand 1 all on her own! *That hand has 2 Draw 2s in it, and it just so happens that her first 3 books didn't work for the difficult letters, and so got applied to the first cards they did work for. :)
Hey everyone! Just checking in. I’m about half way through Iron Gold. I have a few days off work coming up and should be able to get some reading done- especially with this cold, snowy weather we’re having in the Midwest!
I finished Black Dawn and Bitter Blood. They're in the spreadsheet. :)
I just started Introduction to Logic and to the Methodology of the Deductive Sciences. It is ok to use it for UNO, right?
Yep. It has enough pages. And yeah for another I! :)
Can this book count?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...I can't find it in the page counting site, but Goodreads says it has 241 pages.
Looks good to me. You only have to verify word count with a children’s book.

Done. Sorry about that.
I completed Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Question: with a last name like O'Keefe, does it go with O or K? Same with L'Engle. Is it L or E?
Cinthia wrote: "Question: with a last name like O'Keefe, does it go with O or K? Same with L'Engle. Is it L or E?"However it would be shelved at a library (or other place that deals with alphabetizing). So it would be O and L.
I have always loved those books. And just about everything of hers I've ever read!
Megan wrote: "Completed My Heart Belongs on Mackinac Island: Maude’s Mooring by Carrie Fancett Pagels."We can use characters' first and last names, too, so if you can, please note the characters who's names work. Thanks!
Doesn't have to be main characters, just characters with speaking parts.
Finished Iron Gold. I also added to the tracking spreadsheet, taking into account characters with speaking parts

Some things to keep in mind: I always forget to check the setting, but R&J takes place in Verona, Italy, so it works for the 7, and a couple of other character spots. Those Vs can be hard to fill, so it's always good to have plenty!
