Well, the Procrastinators have done it again, so now we can just settle back and read and enjoy our books while we pick up the other 3 roses! 😏
Aww...okay. I'll probably read one more this week. Many of the books that I have on deck, have lots of colors.

My next up ebook and audiobook both qualify, and I'll have both of them done easily this week...possibly as early as tomorrow sometime (the audiobook for sure by tomorrow). 
My current book also works so I'll post it when I'm done. On the app right now
Sorry all! I was a procrastinator this week! In all fairness, our internet connection is sketchy, so this is the first time I've been online in nearly a week. I'll be sure to play catch up and be on the ball for the next call! =)

Hey Stacie...I hate to say it, but this book isn't MPG romance so it doesn't count. Sorry! ☹️
Yes, Karen is right - that one doesn't count Stacie. ☹️

Dammit, I forgot, I'm sorry. I knew that. Forgive me. My brain isn't currently functioning due to this government shutdown BS.
Stacie wrote: "Dammit, I forgot, I'm sorry. I knew that. Forgive me. My brain isn't currently functioning due to this government shutdown BS."No problem, Stacie...it was your 2nd book, so you're covered without it! Sorry RL (in the form of the government) is messing with you...so far I haven't been directly affected by it, but I can imagine how stressful it must be for the people who are. Fingers crossed it gets resolved soon!
Both husband and I are feds so it's killing us. We have some savings but this isn't how we planned on spending it :/

Quick update:We only have 7 books read so far, but Filipa and haven't checked in yet this round. Assuming they get their books posted we'll be set for the week, but just in case does anyone else have anything they've finished that qualifies? It's always nice to have an extra or two just in case something doesn't qualify that we think does. I have one that I'm reading that works and I SHOULD finish it before the deadline, but sometimes books that I'm reading (as opposed to listening to) get away from me, so no promises!
I will definitely have a book finished for tomorrow. Also, I did finish one book, but I need someone to verify for me that it has four colors.
In person, the book appears to have: red, white, black, and gray.
Thoughts?
I have extra. For real this time ;). I'll post it when I get home
does this cover count as having at least four colors?

Hey Karen. Did you count my 3rd book that was posted Jan 8th https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I'd be very nervous about that book...looking at the larger copy on screen the places that look gray to me are actually tiny black hashmarks. As long as you have something else that will work, I think I'd skip this one.
Morgan, it's a good book though! At least I enjoyed it.
Chan wrote: "Hey Karen. Did you count my 3rd book that was posted Jan 8th https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..."Oops, I saw it, but then skipped right over it when I was updating! I'll add it to the tracking thread.
☘KathyD☘ wrote: " does this cover count as having at least four colors?"That one would work Kathy...you've got black, white, yellow and reddish brown (or whatever color you want to call her hair). I think I remember seeing someone in another group use it, too. But, with what Stacie added and Chan's book that I missed the first time through, we've got enough without it so feel free to post it if you want, but it's not necessary.

I don’t have access to a computer until later tonight, so I can’t post my cover. What time are completion posts due?
Morgan wrote: "I don’t have access to a computer until later tonight, so I can’t post my cover. What time are completion posts due?"Posts are due by midnight EST...If you won't be able to get it done by then, maybe you can do your post without the cover and I can repost it with...Kat accepted something similar to that once before, so hopefully she would again.

I love these books, Stacie!
Will you please edit this one to indicate that it's your 2nd book? Thanks!
No problem! Will do it when I'm back on the computer!
I read a 3rd if we need it and my 4th may count too.
Thanks, Stacie! Why don't you go ahead and post your third...that will give us a bit of a cushion just in case.
