I’ve been trying to listen to some shorter audiobooks, but my hold for Moloka’i just came in and I’ve been waiting months, so I’m going to be listening to that next. I’m not going to add it to our sheet because I’m sure we will have finished the stream long before I finish the audiobook.

Do we want to pick our next stream? Seems like we are getting close to done with our current streams.
Yes, I think we should pick another stream - I have a few books that won't fit in our current one too.Suggestions?
Do you guys think either of these have a "very dark" or "creepy" cover?
~

I think The Collectors is creepy.....and have My Soul to Save on 285 pages....
but does Deviant work for very dark cover?
I think the Collector is creepy too. I think the covers are dark for the other two when they are small but when I seem them larger they both have bright areas so I’m not sure.
Okay - that was my worry. Thanks, Annalisa!! I'll leave them as I have them and carry Deviant over to our next stream.
I was looking at the next thread since to start. I was thinking of A1-A1a-A1ab since there are several easy tasks to do. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Let's go for it! I'll get it all colored up :)I'm starting The Last Town tonight so we'll have that stream done by Sunday.
I'm not sure if the title starts with "A" or two people hugging or cuddling will be harder to find. I have
and am not sure where I should place it.
Sounds good to me too!I would say the two people hugging/cuddling would be the harder of the two, Annalisa.
I am slowly re-reading the Guild Hunters series before the new one in Sept. All the books begin with AGood book Annalisa! I really enjoy that series.
What do you guys think of this as a street scene:
It’s blurry, but you know she’s walking down a street. I remember Mods were a little strict on this one...
I have also really been enjoying the Heartbreaker Bay series. I’ll put it in for hugging/cuddle task.
I know we don't have to use Tineye for cover colors...but I like to check myself. It shows this book as 42.4% grey and 38.5% black, but I don't see much black....do you guys think this works for grey cover?
~ 6/2If not, I will put it on 384 pages. I have one other that will have to go to our next stream though. I'll do better with my next few reads!

The challenge ends 6/10/19 at 5:00 am EST. Do we want to try to start another stream or do you think we can get any of it done? It sounded like in the instructions that we would get points for each completed section (done in order), so do you think we can get the first section of another one completed?
I will be flying to Orlando tomorrow and then to India Fri/Sat - so I will have a lot of reading time on the plane (it's 21 hours of flying time). I can try to get as many completed as possible, if you guys want to try.
I think we will potentially be able to get part way through another one. I have about an hour left on Moloka’i and then I’m planing on listening to a few shorter audiobooks. Do we think an A or B stream would be better? I’m leaning towards B.
That's what I thought too, Annalisa! I'm leaning toward B as well, just because we've done 3 As.... I think the first section is the same on all the Bs. Does anyone have a preference on the other sections? I think B2-B2a-B2ab looks like the easiest.... Anyone have one they would prefer to do?
I agree I think B2-B2a-B2ab looks good. I also thought B1-B1a-B1ab looked alright.
Those were the 2 I was debating on. I decided the letters in the B2a might give us more options than the specific tasks in B1a. I'm good with either one though.
I was thinking the same thing. Let’s go with the B2 one unless someone else thinks otherwise.
I added a book to the B2 stream since I’ve already started it.
I think we can get several tasks of a new thread. I am fine with that one. I will be reading more now until the end of the challenge.
Yes, that looks like a grey cover. I’m glad you were able to find that. I’ve been looking and not finding anything I wanted to read that is currently available with a grey cover.
Sounds good to me!I should be done with The Fortune Teller - which I’m really digging, by the way - then I’m signed up for another. I should be able to do at least one more book after that - are sunglasses ok for the glasses task? If so, I could read
for that one.
I was wondering about that too. I’m not sure if it needs to be glasses or if sunglasses will work.
I’m not sure either. I am leaning towards yes that sunglasses would work
They are glasses - so I say they would work. Regular glasses wouldn't work if it called for sunglasses...Plus this is a police/cop theme and they would be wearing dark /sun glasses! Lol!
