If you could use for mini, that might help complete a line. See if you can connect your book first, if not, we'll use it for color :)

I can move my book from "pretty" to "mansion" if someone needs it. Pretty is a little easier than mansion so it might help us get them both covered.

It works fantastic. Thank you.
Great, we're doing awesome filling out this card!! I just got Jill's Sylvie Lee book so I'll look later for where it will best fit.Hey Ashleigh, for your book Capturing the Devil, can you blow up your cover to see if she's wearing a pearl? (I'm at work on a PC so not possible right now) If so, we can move that to Oyster since pearls are products of oysters.
Cress also works for Chairman - Pg 158 "His experts traded looks among themselves, before Chairman Deshal Huy started to drum his fingers against the table."That could open up Princess which would be easier to find.
I'll move Cress to Chairman.For Capturing the Devil - it looks like a black round object on her necklace and I have no idea if it's a black pearl or something else. I can look through and see if oyster is in the book though.
Can't find oyster but I found a scene where Audrey Rose puts pearls in her hair - do you think we could use that instead?
I was searching images in Google & it definitely looks like the whole necklace is black pearls - https://www.hypable.com/capturing-the...So let's use it for pearl necklace on cover - pearls are products of oysters :)
Hey gang, make sure to vote on your favorite Lust mini-challenge story at - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
There's about 12 hours left to vote!
Okay I'm going to move some books around:Capturing the Devil - moving to Oyster
These Broken Stars - moving to gown for that billowing emerald gown on cover (can also use for emerald if we want to move Cyndee's book back to Tiara)
Searching for Sylvie Lee - adding for Rich - found quote will add later
For Chairman we have 2 options (have not moved yet):
1. Move Cress to open up Princess
2. Move Sense of Place to open up Water
That leaves open:
Might
Caviar
Midas
Pretty
Sheikh
Tiara
Deluxe
Princess or Water (depending on which book we move for Chairman)
Did you see my message about switching one from pretty to mansion? I know pretty would likely be easier for someone to find and I happened across the mansion connection while I was finishing the book so just let me know and I can move it/add the mansion quote. :)
I guess you're right, Pretty would be easier to find in a mad rush at the end than Mansion so let's move it :) Or maybe can be used for a book for Amanda or Stephanie if they finish anything this week.Thanks Cyndee!
If anyone has read The Turn of the Key and thinks it will fit for any of the remaining words, let me know because I plan on reading that this week.
Thoughts?
Never mind, skimming thru the book, don't think the description of the house actually works because it isn't grand or "luxurious" as the summary states.
Are you still reading Frankly in Love? We placed that under Champagne since there was a quote that fit.
Cathy M. wrote: "Reading the summary, maybe it will fit for Deluxe since Luxurious is a synonym for Deluxe and it mentions her moving into Heatherbrae House which is described as a "luxurious 'smart' home fitted ou..."Oh okay, thank you for the idea Cathy! I will begin reading and see if it fits anywhere.
Cathy M. wrote: "Are you still reading Frankly in Love? We placed that under Champagne since there was a quote that fit."Yes I'm reading that too! Have less than 100 pages left so will definitely finish that!
Once you get in the book, you can tell us if it's correct! Or anything else in the book that sticks out to you.
I decided to hold off on reading one of my longer ones, so took the Midas and Sheikh spots. That opened up Greed which might be easier to fill.
Took me 3 days of audio to finish
.. I am super happy though. 182 points...Wowza!!!
Started reading The Turn of the Key and it will count for "Deluxe" because the narrator describes the family as being rich and is offering a very nice salary (which is deluxe or luxurious)

I will prob end up finishing up 2 books this week, but one of them is longish
Do we still need a book to cover the word, Pretty? Or does someone has it covered. I deviated from my reading and found the book has Pretty in it.
Pretty is open.Here is a current list of open items:
Might
Glittery **
Princess **
Greed
Tiara
Pretty
Deluxe - holding for Kristin
If we're only able to fill in 39 books rather than 41, I can move Archangel's War to Glittery and remove Princess from open so we at least complete all the lines that we need to maximize points. That will just leave open:
Might
Greed
Tiara
Pretty
Deluxe - holding for Kristin
In that case, I have pretty covered, Cathy. I will update the SS.Actually the humans/villains in this book are greedy. Do you think I should use my book for Greed as opposed to Pretty?
The word Greed isn't in the book. Only Greedy is but I feel the villains were fanatics and greedy when they attacked the heroine in her own home. Let me know...I'm almost done with the book.
There doesn’t have to be a quote so as long as your reason makes sense, we can use it!Let use for greed instead!
I have a book I can add (I need at least one more anyway) that will work for princess. I've tried to make several other options fit for the other words we have left but without any luck. Add it there?
Unless you think this cover could work for "glittery"
Sorry, didn't get any notifications this morning for this thread and ended up moving some books on our card.So right now we have Tiara & Pretty open - will it fit for Pretty?
Everyone, can you please confirm if you will be able to finish your books this week (as listed on our planning sheet)? We are a little more than halfway thru the week and if you are unable to finish, someone can try to fill in or we can try to switch some books around to better fit our BINGO card.
I have finished all my books. If help is needed, let me know.

My notifications aren't working at all. :(
Looks like Namita has pretty covered and I don't have anything that will work for tiara (or emerald if I move my emerald book to tiara).

Sorry Cnydee, I moved my book to Greed. Pretty is still open.
Do you have something for Midas or Jet? I haven't started my Midas book yet and haven't gotten very far (10%) in my Jet book. I could even stop my Sheikh or Painting book if you have something for one of them. I could read for Tiara instead since I have The Kiss Thief or Glass Sword.
The book I'm reading now has
Pretty and Jet
.... let me know what you'd like to do, Cathy?
Thanks Namita, take Jet then. I think Cyndee’s book worked for Pretty so we’ll have them covered.
Confirming that my book for Shiny will be completed in time~
Sorry I haven’t been on this week. I’ve been really sick & lots of doctor appointments. I’ll look at my books today when I get up and see where they could fit. I’ll only get through 2.
I will have all of mine finished...2 today, 1 tomorrow, and 1 Sunday.
Will finish my two that are on the sheet.Btw, when is the deadline? Daylight savings screwed me up last week and now I'm not sure when it is
