Unfortunately no it didn’t fit for any of them
No problem. They are good titles for the story.

Allison, I was trying to get The Martian from the library but I am now limited to only 3 items at a time (it used to be 15!!).

That would've been a good book to use for someone on a mission. Also it is an excellent book anyway. :D Definitely read it when you can.

I've read it and I agree it is quite good. The book I am reading now Practical Demonkeeping, has two characters trying to capture a demon. Would that work for someone being on a mission? Or does have to be an official mission like a military sort of thing?
I finished Matar a un Ruiseñor and added to both ss.I agree, The Martian is a great book!

That sounds like a mission to me. Just give the character names when you finish please. :)
I finished Take a Chance on Me. SS updated. It doesn't fit for a mini task, but it might work for the story.

The character names are Augustus and Travis. Should be done today. I am sorry it is taking me so long to get through books lately. Work is exhausting and I have been going home and just collapsing.
Ok finished Practical Demonkeeping. SS updated.
Finished One of Us is Lying. It doesn’t work for ant unclaimed mini prompts. Updated SS

It's a bit of an emotional ride but really good. I haven't been able to get into anything in a week and this pulled me right in.
Rachel wrote: "Allison Ann wrote: "Rachel wrote: "Allison Ann wrote: "Rachel wrote: "Allison, I was trying to get The Martian from the library but I am now limited to only 3 items at a time (it used to be 15!!)."..."No worries Rachel. You are contributing so much to this group. Thank you. Will you have time to finish the green cover you claimed? If you decide you don't want to read it, just let us know. Thanks again.

And if not, that is a fantastic title for the story. :D
Eighteen more books to finish the whole month! Can we do it? Yes, I believe we can! Great work everyone.
Books not claimed for the mini so far are:Drink on the cover
Glasses (for drinking) on the cover
I have books for both if no one can find some, so don't stress out too much. We still need story books though, so long and/or interesting titles would be great.
Finished Once Burned. SS updated. Starting Lucky. But it doesn’t work for any UNO cards. At least not so far. 🥺

I would like to use
for the book with the glass on the front
Erica wrote: "I would like to use for the book with the glass on the front"Hi Erica - the task says glasses and this is just one glass. But I think we could use it for a drink on the cover.
Finished light on cover last night, currently reading drinking glasses on cover. How's everyone else doing this fine Sunday morning?
Happy Sunday everyone! It’s cold and rainy here in Kansas City. I’m recharging my batteries for going back to work tomorrow. Was hoping to get outside for a run today but doesn’t seem like the weather will cooperate, so reading inside it is! Finished The Passengers this AM and will update the SS.
Braved the rainy weather to go grocery shopping this morning. I’m about halfway through Lucky, my sports book.
What all do we still need? I finished three books last night I’ll be adding them later today.
Brittany wrote: "What all do we still need? I finished three books last night I’ll be adding them later today."It seems we have all the task from the mini challenge claimed, so we need titles for the story (6 books)

Hand 1:
Wild (Reverse, Skip, 3 or 5)
Hand 7:

I had to send my son to stay with my mother in law. The daycare I use is no longer open and I am an essential worker. I will definitely be done with ready player one tonight and my green cover in the next couple days. Big :( How are all of you guys holding up with all the craziness going on?
I'll be honest. I live in the middle of nowhere in a town that is 100% tourist based in the summer and closed in the winter. We basically self-isolate normally in the winter, so I'm not seeing a big difference. My bakery business is already pickup only in winter and our cabins and marina are closed until the ice melts and the snow goes away. So work continues the same. However, with the borders closing, most of our residents that go south in the winter are going to be coming home because there is no way the insurance companies are going to honour their travel insurance, so those coming back will hopefully be honest and responsible. Our infection rate is 0% still, but who knows what they'll be bringing back. I'm always glad to not live in a city, but even more so now.
It’s been okay here. Very hard to get groceries, though. I’m secretly glad I get to go to work because I don’t think I could handle being cooped up this long, haha.We have less than 100 cases in our metro area although it’s very hard to get a test so I’m sure that number is low. I am an ICU nurse in an iCU that is supposed to remain “clean” in case we have transplant patients, but all elective procedures have been canceled and visitors are banned. So it’s been eerily quiet, quieter than I can ever remember it being in 7 years.
Both my husband and I are working from home and my daughter is dong her schooling online (7th grade). So we are all at home, every day, all day. It's definitely been an adjustment.One thing I've enjoyed is being able to cook our big meals at lunch time and then just eat lighter dinners, rather than heavy meals close to bed time.
We are not on any kind of order to stay home or shelter in place, but we are being strongly urged to. My state is still just shy of 200 confirmed cases (no deaths thankfully), so things aren't as bad as some places, but I suspect it's going to get worse.

Completed - Good Boy: My Life in Seven DogsMy husband and I are also both working from home now. Him all week last week and me since Wednesday. There is no official lockdown here, just strongly suggested everyone stay home, but it is probably coming. It was springlike all weekend and since people were told going outside is fine - people were everywhere outside.
Got groceries Friday and it wasn't bad though and since we both had yesterday off went for a drive to get out of the house. I'm not built to stay in the house so we will see how this goes.

Thanks Brittany. Anything that might work for the tasks? New to you author maybe? A character who wears a suit? Someone on a mission? Someone prepares a lot of food?
