Has anyone read The Wife Between Us? It due back in 11 days and I have been holding off reading it hoping it would work for a color card in April. Does anyone know if it will work for 2, 5, or 7?
Checking in! I haven't had much time to read this week, but will definitely be done my book today or tomorrow
I have read The Wife Between Us, Ora....in the airport on my phone so can't link or reply to your msg.

Even so, there's a pretty good plot twist that I know a lot of people do enjoy :)

It might fit for 2 because Donovan is referred to a lot as "Tutor boy" or "your tutor" and things along those lines. I'll let you guys call that one.
I'm sorry, I looked through the mini challenge and I don't think it fits anything in there.

And we are done with all March cards and the Mini challenge!!Great job, team!!
Great! I have been listening to books for April. I will have 3 books maybe 4 for colored cards tomorrow. I am planning on having all current reads done tomorrow so I will be ready to read The Savior Tuesday on release day.
I am reading 1 book that will be done tomorrow (if graphic novels count, it's like 400 pages), I'm halfway done and counting with GoT, and I've got a bunch of quick reads lined up :)
I’m not sure about graphic novels. I will check. It may be the same standard with children’s book with having a minimum word count.
Books must be more than 100 pages in length and Children's books, Graphic Novels, Manga, Cook Books, Plays and Poetry books can not be used unless by word count they can be verified as more than 25,000 words using arbookfind.com or more than 3 hours of audio using a reputable website (e.g. audible, overdrive)
I have a book that will work for the red 7 - the cover comes in at 50.7% red.
Sorry everyone just realized that I am ready to post my last book completed this month and we are done. Sorry I didn't complete as much as I wanted to...I ended up subbing quite a bit at the school, my son's soccer season started up and the biggest thing is we found out we are moving to Germany in June! I will look ahead for April and see what I can do. Miss being able to talk about the books on here.
Oops! March is now locked.
Everyone, please, always post the books read and we will use them for the cards or mini. Ora and I just make sure everything gets covered, but we will always use your books and move some of ours. :-)

Does anyone know if it..."Any particular reason why you didn't like it? I am currently listening to chapter 10. I am having a hard time really liking the characters. I am not sure if I have preconceived notions because of the title or just really do not care for the characters. If I didn't need this book for another challenge I probably would not have checked it out from my library.
I didn't like the characters either, Ora! I did have a preconceived idea about the book....Curious to see what you think when you finish it!
I just finished The Wife Between Us. All of the characters were messed up some way. I kind of wished Emma did marry Richard. It would have served her right with the intentions of having an affair to destroy Vanessa’s marriage. Vanessa was really messed up in the head too.
It seems like the only person happy with Richard showing his true colors is Maureen. I think she would have been happy if she could have had a more intimate relationship with him.
