Ooh, let me know how you like it. I read it once but it was about 12 years ago and I can't remember any of it. I'm planning on Ways to Disappear by Idra Novey and The Terrible Thing That Happened to Barnaby Brocket by John Boyne which is over 50% green. This will be a great reading month!

I have that on my read shelf so it will work for reverse.
I read it for a special needs class in uni about 10 years ago. It was brilliant! I hope you’ll enjoy it!

I have a few colored ones on my TBR that I’ll try to bump up for April.

MyzanM | 156 comments I finally got time to update the SS with my books.
I even managed one colored book this week - High Fidelity by Nick Hornby .
I'll try to get to a couple of more colored ones next week.

Kaylee Wilson | 621 comments Happy Friday! Personally Ive been floored with school work this week so I havent done a lot of reading. This weekend!

Rachel (stillchasethewind) | 452 comments Thank you Kaylee and Jan I have loved All the Bright Places so far. I am hoping to finish it tonight before the library takes it back tomorrow.

JanEyre9 Hi everyone! I was away for a few days and came back on this morning to see we have an April mini challenge! I need to pick up my reading speed.

Rachel (stillchasethewind) | 452 comments Oh dear. This one seems tough.


message 481: by Rachel (new)

Rachel (stillchasethewind) | 452 comments I added the mini challenge to our group spreadsheet. Do you think we should claim tasks like the last mini challenge? There are many more this time.

I think that might be a good idea so we aren't overlapping, especially since these are so specific!


message 483: by Rachel (new)

Rachel (stillchasethewind) | 452 comments For a lot of the tasks I am drawing a huge blank!! This is gonna be tough!


message 484: by Fiona (new)

Fiona Grant (fingordie) | 24 comments I’m still reading The Cuckoos Calling by Robert Galbraith, it’ll cover a few of the tasks. I’ll have a look at the list and try to fill in some spaces


message 485: by Fiona (new)

Fiona Grant (fingordie) | 24 comments The cuckoos calling which I am currently reading was published on the 4th April 2013. Any use?

Unfortunately the book cannot be started until after April 12th. I'm currently reading the good daughter which would have covered a few tasks as well. :( Oh well.

Fiona Grant (fingordie) | 24 comments Bother!!


message 488: by Kaylee (new)

Kaylee Wilson | 621 comments Holy Crud the people who come up with these challenges are very creative. 70 tasks???

Anyways, yes, I think we should claim some of the tasks so that there isn't as much overlap. Im gonna comb through that tonight. Im so sorry I havent been around as much! Im so busy :((. Happy Reading everybody!

message 490: by JanEyre9 (new)

JanEyre9 Nice! I'm looking through my books for april now and seeing what I can match them with. It's a tough challenge but I think we can do it.


message 491: by MyzanM (last edited Apr 11, 2018 07:34AM) (new)

MyzanM | 156 comments I'm trying to match the mini tasks with what I've got on my tablet. Not as easy as I first thought. But not as hard as it could be.

Do you want me to set the SS up to change color when someone claims and finishes a task, or was that too confusing last month?
Personally I think its easier for to see which are open
I set up all my spreadsheets that way at work so I'm used to have it that way, but I understand if others think its just confusing.

I liked having it set up to change color, I found it easier to see what still needed to be claimed.


Marte - Thunderella | 38 comments Colors to differentiate would be great!

MyzanM | 156 comments Ok, I'll set it up after dinner... Need to feed the hoards now... ;-)

MyzanM | 156 comments I've set the SS for the mini to change to a peach color when the task is claimed with a name.
The task will change to greenish once you fill in the date read.
