MyzanM | 156 comments OK, These are the first 5 on my February TBR. I'll just list which cards they fit. I'll be more detailed in my completion posts.

The Cat’s Meow (Assassin's Pride #1) by Stormy Glenn
Fits cards: 1, 2, 6 and 9

How To Be A Normal Person by T.J. Klune
Fits cards: 0, 1, 2, 3 and Skip

In The Absence Of Light by Adrienne Wilder
Fits cards: 0, 5 and Skip

Guardian by Sierra Riley
Fits cards: 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8.

I, Robot (Robot #0.1) by Isaac Asimov
Fits cards: 5.

How much of a cover has to be in a specific color to work for the color cards?
If it's above 50% then the last one will work for Red 5 and Wild Draw 4 too. It's 64% red according to TinEye.

Kaylee Wilson | 621 comments 50% color is the requirement. Awesome! Colored cards are pests.

Great!
I can probably squeze in one or two more colored ones this month. I'll go through what I have and try to push them up on my list a bit.


message 58: by Kaylee (new)

Kaylee Wilson | 621 comments Yeah of course! Dont choose your books based off of their color though!! Read what you want to!


message 59: by Rachel (new)

Rachel (stillchasethewind) | 452 comments If i manage to get Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity, #2) by Victoria Schwab from the library it will count for the blue 2 card. Woohoo!

It’s no problem.
I have several colored ones on my shelves and will not have to go hunting elsewhere for them. After a quick look I found at least 5 more that fits our colored cards. I’ll read some of them this month if they fit my mood. If not... there’s always March...

CAROLYN Wyman | 23 comments Im trying to do the color thing for Stars are Fire - but i keep getting an error


message 63: by CAROLYN (new)

CAROLYN Wyman | 23 comments 39.9 %Persian Red (Red)
21.5 %Cinnabar (Red)
17.6 %Mandarian Orange (Orange)
4.8 %Rustic Red (Red)
3.5 %Red Oxide (Red)
2.9 %Sea Pink (Pink)
2.7 %Remy (Pink)
2.4 %Seal Brown (Black)
2.4 %Roman (Red)

So Stars are Fire would work for -
Red
4- Fire (Title)
6 - Titke (Stars) Author (Shreve)

Would that be Correct?


message 64: by Kaylee (new)

Kaylee Wilson | 621 comments Yep! You just have to add up the colors that say Red anywhere. If you have a problem with it and you think its obvious I can take it to the Mods and they can decide as well.

Fiona Grant (fingordie) | 24 comments Thanks Kaylee. Am I right I’m thinking it’s every book I start after 1st February not those I’m currently reading? And am I ok to reread books?

Sorry I'm not sure what happened. There has been a bug on GR the last day or so where posts disappear and come back again later which is why I didn't see Fiona had arrived before I posted.
I've let Ashley know the mix up and put Fiona back on the team
