[SandyL]

Thanks for writing a story Daniela! I know I volunteered to help, but my work schedule got in the way. First we were working, then we weren't, and now we're working again - and I only find out my schedule a couple of days at a time. I'm not complaining though - I'm just happy I get to work right now (and we aren't seeing clients - just two of us in the office at a time so we can stay apart.)

Would this work for one of our red cards?
I haven't gotten very far into it yet so I'm not quite sure which number red cards, but so far it is set in Hazelford Village (H - 3)

I saw that she was active on goodreads, so I hope her situation is not too bad

@Ambi the book you posted the other day is sadly not red enough.

@Natalie your book seems good to me, what do the others say?

[Ambi]

Yeah I posted it for the normal cards.

I've messaged her a few days ago but haven't heard back from her although she's been online... seems like we've lost her :(

Will this count as red?

unfortunately this is not enough red :/

[SandyL]

Would this count as green?

I think this one looks good for red.

[Ashley]

My personal opinion is that this one would count as green.

[Ashley]

I am doing some planning for my reading month today.
Would this one work for red?

[Ashley]

Ashley wrote: "I am doing some planning for my reading month today.

I should clarify I'm not sure if I'll read it at this point... but should know by the end of the day. Exploring what works for my challenges AND what I have access to either on my personal shelf or through library apps.

[Ashley]

I can take 9 Blue for sure (Class Mom). Also 3 or 4 Red (An Anonymous Girl). I will probably be able to do one or two others but can definitely commit to those two now {in addition to my 6 Green (Well Met)}.

I would think so!

[Christina]

Unfortunately the app isn't currently showing me all the covers you guys posted, but Daniela and/or I will get back to you all tomorrow! I'm finally off to bed.

[Daniela]

Sorry for not replying, I was taking a laptop break (which ended up with me playing way too much Animal Crossing xD). Will catch up on the messages now

[Daniela]

@Ambi and Ahsley, I personally think the books aren't red enough, comparing it to previously posted books. What do the others think? I'm really not good with coloured books

I'll definitely read , which works for 3 Red.

And I can recommend (1 Yellow), it was a quick read for me once I finally got back into reading

[Christina]

honestly, I'm unsure too. I'll ask in the Captain's thread what other captains think. hopefully we can use at least once of them x)

I just looked at the description of the book and from what I've gathered it's mainly set at Mill Cottage? or do they spend time in the village itself as well?

I know this is a long shot but any chance this counts as green?

A good amount of it has been set at the Mill House and Cottage so far but they have also spent time in the village. The area where the Mill Cottage is set also starts with an H but I can't recall what it was off the top of my head. I think it could also work for red 4 because there is a character with a last name that starts with F if that would work better :)

I'm sorry it took so long, but we can neither use or even for coloured cards :(

I'd say yes. the background is dark green, so still green, right? (;

I have it on hold, so I'm hoping it comes in time. I mean, in the middle of a pandemic, who doesn't need to read a book about a dog rescuing cats?

I've been looking into some other colored cover options as well... but we'll see what I can get!

[Daniela]

I'm in a reading slump again.. I hope it'll end up being like March and I'll read all my books within 2 weeks xD

[Daniela]

I'll start listening to The Dinner List when I go for a walk later. It definitely works for Yellow 6, maybe more I'll see

I'm halfway through and I have no idea what is happening xD but I never can fully concentrate on audiobooks. Her voice is alright to listen to though

[Daniela]

I just checked the Uno Pixie book shelve and there is a book we could use for 8 Red - character Evie Greenlees.

Also: if it is red enough?
for blue?

[Ashley]

I have a few potential options to cover colored cards... it's just a matter of fitting them into the month and completing other challenges too! I'm starting Class Mom today, then probably An Anonymous Girl. I think I'll probably do which we could use for 8 Yellow. Not sure if it would work for any of the others. Other options on my list might depend on what becomes available at the library and how quickly I get through these others. I MIGHT do which I would think would count for blue, but I haven't looked at the character list yet or anything. I just don't want to commit to too many and then not get to them!

oh, I've been thinking about reading this as well this month! especially since I also wanna watch the movie with Grace Vanderwaal on Disney+ ! and super randomly my spotify playlist is currently playing a song by her :D
I can't make Stargirl work for the Magical Readathon this month though so decided against reading it. I could read The Summer I Turned Pretty for 6 Blue though if you don't actually wanna read Stargirl.

Or someone could recommend another book for me that is mainly set at sea or at the coast and is not fantasy pls 🙈
