I chose the Princess Diaries for a prompt in another group that was "Book that has been adapted to a tv show or movie". The book was such a quick, easy read/listen that I'm going to start the next one too! I had no idea there were so many books!

The bulk of the book takes place in Hawaii, so I would say you are right about 3. 0 is standalone... but it would work for 1 because there is a main character named Olive.

I love how easy it was/is for us as a team (all of you actually, since I'm struggling at the moment) this month to cover all our coloured cards/WD4s and Reverses, I'm impressed! I didn't think we would be so quick to fill those harder cards :)
I was looking on the first message about the coloured cards and I thought we still need it but it's ok because it's a book I wanted to read, I'm enjoying it.
A lot of books got finished over the weekend that we hadn't planned in for our coloured cards but still worked perfectly. I didn't have a chance to update the post though, sorry! I'll do it now!
It never hurts to have more coloured books anyway :)

Are there any safety precautions where you guys are concerning covid-19?Here in Austria indoor events with a capacity over 100 people and outdoor events with over 500 people are canceled, and universities + schools are closing next week. I wanted to go to a concert in the Netherlands on Friday and they haven't canceled anything yet so I'm wondering if they're dumb and we're safe, or if they're normal and we're just overprotective ^^
Best to check Netherlands news and see what they are saying. Or maybe send an email to the concert hall. I think it's better to be overprotective now, especially with flu season going on as well, rather than having a situation like Italy does. Hopefully it won't spread as quickly this way, especially as many will just stay at home
My friend is keeping me updated @Daniela (; but so far they're not really doing anything, that's why I'm wondering if they're dumb or if we are x)

I feel like the world is slowly shutting down. We have some big events being cancelled and colleges/universities are switching to online classes.
I'm a bit behind with reading, but now with Univeristy and schools closed (my workplace closef therefor), I'll have a lot of time to catch up.

Ok so I haven't been reading. Portugal just closed all schools so from Monday on to probably at least 14 of April I'm going to have to stay home with my 2 year old, my wages are probably getting cut in half or something ( we don't know yet) but it will be hard.Infecting others and losing lives is harder so It is the right thing to do!
BUTTT
I don't know how my reading is going to be because my schedule is going to be very different and I'm really anxious with everything and can't quite focus and relax to read. I hope, nevertheless, that doing this social isolation is going to make me chill a bit more.
Oh God that's terrible. I get that people may get infected but how are you supposed to eat and pay bills cause work is getting affected. Obviously, real life comes first. I hope you get to chill a little.

Usually I'd check in with people who don't post anything in here for a couple of days, but with current events I won't be doing that. We all understand that for some this is a stressful time and they won't be reading or be online. However, if you do have a minute or two, check in with us every now and then, just so we know you're alright :) I haven't been reading myself a lot lately as I haven't been feeling up to it
I'm not allowed to post details yet, but the mini challenge is coming and it's looking fun :) I guess it'll be officiall tomorrow or on the 15th
Wow time for the mini challenge already?
President Trump just declared a national emergency. The past 24 hours have brought plenty more restrictions and closings. This is intense. I haven't been doing much reading either. So much going on personally and globally. Lau, I'm so sorry that this is impacting you personally in such a real way. My birthday is tomorrow and something is telling me it is not going to be a very fun one. Everyone stay healthy and keep in touch as you can!
Yeah sorry I haven't been reading much but I'm like 20 pages away from finishing a book so hopefully I will have a completion post for that up by tomorrow.
My internet is currently a mess (it hasn't worked for the last couple of hours and I'm on my phone data right now) but at least I can say I listened to the first 40% of Catching Fire so far today! Having Tatiana Maslany narrate the Hunger Games series for their anniversary editions was such a great idea!
I love Tatiana Maslany! Obsessed with Orphan Black over here!
The story after Orphan Black came out in 2019. It's also narrated by her. I've been wanting to get my hands on it for a while.
I'm currently out walking my dog but I wanted to let you know that the March mini challenge has been posted and new tabs have been added to the spreadsheets!https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Let us know if you have any questions :)
The March mini starts in less than 9 hours!
