What do we still need for our hand? If everything is planned for i'll just read for A for the mini challenge
Completed:
I thought that Vaughan had a larger role in the book than he does, so I am not sure it will work. He doesn't have any speaking parts but it is stated that he doesn't "waste words" so I don't think he is much of a talker. Thoughts?
Just added The Good Girls to the spreadsheet. Characters: Ava, Rachel, Parker, Caitlin, Sibyl, Jeremy, Mary Ann, Leslie, Elliot, Rhiannon, Nyssa, Vanessa, Oliver, Dexter, Ursula
Title: Good
Item on Cover: Ice cream cone

Sounds like it doesn't really work. :(
On the plus side, Kristel found a Red 7 for us!

Oh crud :( so I guess we still need a green 7.
But, YAY Kristel for finding a red 7 :)
Are you still reading Bloodfever? I see it planned on the mini-challenge sheet, but your name isn't there anymore."Yes, I'm currently reading it. I must have forgotten to write my name or accidentally deleted it.
Added Killer, #6 in the Pretty Little Liars series, to the spreadsheet.Characters: Aria, Darren, Emily, Spencer, Hanna, Isaac, Naomi, Riley, Byron, Kate, Mike, Xavier, Jason
Setting: Rosewood
I think I found a green 7 on my bookshelf. Yay! It has a character named Victor. This will work, right?

Yes, this works:)
finished and added it to the spreadsheet for green 7.Characters: Victor, Maura, Jane, Howard, Grace, Noni
Just thought I'd give us all a little status update:Regular hands - We've got 12 hands finished, with the exception of Kristel's Red 7 book. We need 12 more books to complete all hands!
Mini-challenge - We've got 27 books/letters completed, and 2 words finished. All of the letters that are worth more are either completed, or have books planned for them. We need 31 more books to complete all the letters, including books that are all ready on the planning sheet. I'll put a few more of mine down on the sheet now, too. If we keep up this pace we'll have it done easily!

I have two more books planned for the rest of the month, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business and O Crime do Padre Amaro. I was thinking about using “O crime do padre Amaro” for the yellow 0 spot instead of “The power of habit”. This way I could leave the latter for the next month and read one that could be used for the mini challenge. Turns out the color extraction tool tells me that the cover is green, which it is not! My eyes see yellow everytime! :) can we use it for yellow 0 then?

I did a little shuffling books around, and completed 7 of our words. Those that are completed, I copied the info over to our official spreadsheet. Between that the fact that we only need a few more books for the regular hands, we're up to 5th place! :)

I will finish Queen of Shadows either today or tomorrow and then I will be able to fit at least 1 more book in before month end.

Here's the ranking spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Currently at 14th place. Once the last 2 books are finished for the hands, we'll have an additional 90 points. Plus there's nearly 200 points for the mini-challenge that we haven't earned/reported yet. So if we finish everything, we'll be in at least the top 10 overall. It's definitely worth pushing to finish them all!
Cinthia wrote: "Will we be able to complete the 7 red and 0 yellow for the month?"Kristel & Diana, are you both on track to finish those?
Diana wrote: "I finished The Hour of the Star."I'm going to ask about this in the Captains' group. It looks yellow to me, but tineye is calling it green.
Let's get a quick update on books. Here's what's left.Need an R & an A. (We do have 3 UnoPixie books available to replace Chrystal's books, if no one can do these.)
Planned but not read yet:
Diana - O Crime do Padre Amaro
Sarah - Unforseen
Cinthia - A Cold Legacy
Laura - The Ends of the World, The Red Fairy Book,
Jessica - Queen of Shadows - already updated
Nicole -
I *should* be able to finish mine, but it might be close.

I'll finish mine. Can those 3 pixie books be used for the mini challenge? If so, that would take care of the last two we need (assuming everyone can finish their other ones). It's good to know. I'm saving my next book for April, but if need be I could push myself to get it done in March.

Yes, Pixie's books can be used for the mini-challenge. They have added books after March 14 for that purpose.
