Bummer maybe I’ll find someone 🙂

Dear Ladies of the Blue Sloth!
Tower Teams VII - Week 2 begins

Here is the COUNTDOWN
So far, we have 14-read books + 2 more that Nicole and Jenny have not posted yet.
I will also finish at least 1 more book.
We need to reach 30 books before the countdown to avoid getting penalised.

Many thanks and and have a lovely w/e.

Jenny, please add the book to your TT7 shelf. Thanks a lot.
I'm going to start reading another book (probably Inferno) today, but won't finish it before the end of the week unless I power-read this weekend.I'll check the team sheet tomorrow to see if we need a power-read to avoid the penalty.

It's OK, Joy, don't worry about it.
I'll do another quick check tomorrow, but I think we'll be fine. :)
Just a quick update on "Accuracy":Books read: 17
Books planned (according to today's check-in): 14, not counting Stacie's "few" books yet or the books E., Rachel & Eni will read.
So, that means we will be absolutely fine. :) And Great Job, Ladies!
Many thanks for the support and the great Team Spirit!

Ok, I'll still plan on starting my next book today, but probably won't log it until next week unless I get really into it and finish it early, which is what happened with Illuminae
I actually decided on Persuasion by Jane Austen for my next read. The Inferno had the Italian text on one page with the English on the other, so I didn't feel like it was fair to count it for double the pages.I also think this cover counts as red, so we can use it for a cover color:

What do you think abou this cover?
Do you see it as red? To me it looks like a transition between red and brown, making it neither, really.

The cover is close not sure if it’s 50% red or not. There’s definitely red in the couch and carpet, and the top and bottom of the book are red.
