Finished The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.It works for the mini-challenge, too, if we need it. Team Venus recommended A Man Ove. I connected The 100-Year-Old Man to it because both books have a man on the cover.

Actually, I'm going to throw it in there for Team Saturn, because they have The Giver, which also has an old man on the cover. :)
These are the books still on our February tracking sheet. I know a couple of them are for the mini-challenge, but for the rest, let me know if any of them should be moved to March, or if you changed your mind about reading them.Diana - O mistério de Listerdale
Kristel - Kings Cage- Victoria Aveyard
Sarah - Shutter Island
Sarah - Keepers
Sarah - At Waters Edge
Eni - The Ocean at the End of the Lane
Diana - I’ll give you the sun
Cinthia - The Hate You Give
Hello! This is Tina from Team Neptune. I've read Happily Ever After, the sequel to Cinder & Ella which someone has recommended. I really liked Cinder & Ella, but I think the sequel was a disappointment and I could only give it 2 stars. But I gave Cinder & Ella 5 stars:)
Laura wrote: "These are the books still on our February tracking sheet. I know a couple of them are for the mini-challenge, but for the rest, let me know if any of them should be moved to March, or if you change..."I will finish “I’ll give you the sun” for the mini-challenge.
And in March I will finish “Introduction to Logic” for Blue 2, and “Minimalist living” and will read “O mistério de Listerdale”.
I am planning on reading “The handmaid’s tale” as well, which works for Red 2.
I should be able to finish At Waters Edge by tomorrow at the latest :-)I need to look at what books I have for March and see what they will fit!
I updated the mini SS with the book I finished on Sat.

It defaults to that. Usually it doesn't make a difference, but occasionally it does. :)
Diana wrote: "I am planning on reading “The handmaid’s tale” as well, which works for Red 2."Unless you're reading a different version that what you currently have on your shelf, that one doesn't have enough red. Must be at least 50% red to count.
Hi Team Kuiper!I just finished
, the sequel to
that a member of your team recommended. I have to say, I liked Illuminae alright, and wasn't that overly excited about reading Gemina, but my husband got it for me as a gift, and this challenge got me to move it up on my TBR list. I freakin' loved this book, and I can not wait for the 3rd book to come out in a couple of weeks. The action, the intrigue, the twists, I loved it all. So thank you for the recommend!!

I have it on my kindle and switched the edition to the correct one. However, it looks red to me but the color extracting tool does not agree, it says that something I would call red is “mandarian orange”. I even searched on google for that, and it does not make sense. Laura, could you please take a look at that? :)
Finished At the Waters Edge and updated the spreadsheet.I don't think I will be able to finish Shutter Island or Keepers, so gonna move it to March :-)

I have the same issue :( I was going to try to fit
to Blue 6, but TinEye has informed me that the main color is Deep Koamaru (Violet). I think TinEye is drunk...

So we don't even need to run that one through the color extractor. It is obviously red. Where we use Tineye is if it's close and we want to see if it hits 50%.

One thing I like to do is click on the square of color next to the number. That will take you to a bunch of pictures that are mostly that color. When you do that with this one, the whole page looks blue. Violet, I think, is one of those colors that leans either toward the blue or toward the purple. This one seems to be more blue, but I'll ask for opinions in the captain's group, just to be on the safe side.
Actually, Kristel already asked! Just waiting for a few answers.

Make sure you add to the March tab, not February!

I'm going to use this for our last connection, for Team Carina.
Diana, you can take your time with I'll Give You the Sun and not finish until March if you want. :)

Yay - glad it works out! I found myself really liking the book. The two male main characters were jerks, and I would love to read a sequel on the main female and Angus (don't want to give too much away for those who did not read it, lol).

No problem! I'll change the link on the first page to make it go to the March tab now. :)
Looks like we're good for Red and Blue on those two books!
I didn't realize we had completed the mini challenge. Good job, everyone! I kept looking at the copy version spreadsheet where we write it ourselves, and I was worried Laura wasn't going to be able to finish the three books she had listed. :)
Cinthia wrote: "I didn't realize we had completed the mini challenge. Good job, everyone!

After we had all the spots filled we copied it over to the main spreadsheet and then we were just updating that one. :)
We just finished this morning!

Agreed!
Wow! I will hit the pause on the book then, and leave it to March!Congratulations everybody! :)

Connected or not, if GRs says it's in a series, we can use it as such. We always have to go by the main Goodreads page. I've had books that are in two series, with different numbers in each. We go by the default, whatever it says right next to the name on the main Goodreads page for the book.
HI Team Kuiper! In February I read
, recommended by your team. It was a fantastic read; I really enjoyed the characters and all the twists and turns. The plot was developed really well, and I'm looking forward to continuing the series! Thanks again for a great 4 star read!

Well then, lol....it’s the first in its “series” ;-)
Finally able to start a new book and log onto GR. Man it has been a crazy past couple of days! Happy Friday team!
