I'm sorry, I don't think there's enough blue, though it's getting close.

[Eldarwen]

I'm keeping my mouth shut on this one as I'm biased hehehe

I know. I already vetoed this book for you as well. :)

[Melindam]

As this is a sinful challenge and I liked E's musical interlude so much last week, here's one fitting interlude from me :)

This is the next book for me in the series. I read the first three this summer. I’ll definitely have to read this during this challenge

[Stacie]

I think this is green enough but could use a second opinion.

I'll pass this on to E. It's that colour that some see as green, while other as blue. On my laptop, it comes off more blue.

Work computer shows green!

[Melindam]

OK, I found a larger picture. It's green

[Stacie]

Thank you!! I was struggling with the blue as well Melinda which is why I asked.

This one is hard to read but so so good. I've been highlighting passages which I never do.

Now that made me curious and I went to actually read what it was about. None of those names ring a bell for me though. I feel like I should know this story but I come up empty.

[Stacie]

Here's the wikipedia

[Melindam]

I do remember it & and I also read Her statement when it got posted on buzzfeed. :(

Thanks!

It does vaguely ring a bell now that I'm reading through the wiki.

New thread to keep an eye on!


We are going to have Mini Challenges! And the first one has just been posted. It is SLOTH.

Go have a read through this post but don't fear. It's a very straight forward kind of mini challenge.

[Stacie]

Looks pretty straightforward!

[Eldarwen]

Just as a little.... motivation... ;-)) And general information basically.

I'm not sure if you've all noticed the Status Spreadsheet on the first page of the team thread? It has this lovely tab where Cat created a fabulous table that shows (in towers hehe) how each sin is fairing.

Currently, Sloth seems to be in second place of most books read for this particular sin. Vanity seems to enjoy first place.. it's been there for a while hehe. Maybe we should do something about that?? ;-)

[Stacie]

Let's get them!

Oops, I missed that veto :). If only her dress was even more voluminous!

Yippee, another musical interlude!! Thanks :D

[Snowtulip]

Stacie wrote: "Let's get them!"

Agree!!

[Snowtulip]

...blue?

[Melindam]

Yesssss :)

[Stacie]

There are so many animals in this book, it's bizarre. Gorillas, fish, angelfish... I'm not the type of reader that can put it down and wait until next week to pick it back up though. Just in case anyone else is looking for a green book. I'll let you know if it doesn't hold up but so far, phew, it's good. Just tough.

[Eldarwen]

Huh, true, that isn't the kind of book I would have expected to have a lot of animals in!

Oh no no, you didn't! I asked her in our captain's thread when I was debating which book to take on my trip :-)

[Stacie]

she's describing things but still, she was talking about drawing and then someone who knew what alpacas felt like.

Nowhere 😂 Couldn't bring myself to go anywhere. So I'll be in the comfort of my own home, in my PJ's and reading to my hearts content 😊 Might go the beach if I gather the energy to do so. I'm heading home for Christmas so figured I'd rest up now since Christmas will be crazy busy.

Oh that is complete and utter bliss sometimes!!! I did that at the end of August when I had two weeks off work. It's just so nice to just lounge in the comfort of your own space and read, read, read :-D

[Melindam]

Dear Team,

some moral/colour support from your side, please. :)



Blue?

Blue?"

I'm having a hard time with that one. It has just enough green in it that I'm like it's blue but is it green?

This book just came in from the library and the cover is making me mad.



I don't think it can be used for cover color but could it be anymore split between blue and green!?!?!?

I also have this one in my queue for the weekend.

But first,

[Melindam]

Stacie, the Evie-book can be used for green cover for sure.

Oh nice, thank you!!

[Eldarwen]

Yep, there is blue on it but the green is definitely more present!

[Eldarwen]

Hmmm... well if you put these two next to each other, it might help with a decision?

Thanks E.
Compared, Umarriageable looks blue, but maybe I'll just leave it for the time being and go for covers that are undoubtedly blue.

[Melindam]

I am a bit unsure about .

E., what say you?

[Melindam]

Anyway, it's hightime I read

and / or .

Both are over 500 pages and very definitely blue.
