Oh my gosh! Work has had me so frazzled these past few weeks. It’s a mess. I’m in IT. Even though I have had to deal with the worst of the remote access issues I’ve been involved in some and I feel so rushed like everything is urgent and has to be done right away. Gah! I can’t imagine how healthcare and other essential job folks are managing.

I give kudos to all you essential workers. Thanks for sticking it out.

We're good Nicole! Thanks for checking in, sorry I didn't see this until now. :D

No worries Denise. Real life takes precedence. Just read whatever you can and take care of yourself. :D

[Allison Ann]

Thanks Nicole and Rachel - we're on the board!

[Allison Ann]

If anyone has a chance to look through their books and claim some coloured covers, please do. Thanks!

[Rachel]

I will try to look when I get home. Things are chaotic where I am. :(

[Allison Ann]

No worries Rachel, not trying to add any extra work for anyone, just as you have a chance.

[Rayne]

I’m in a reading slump. Can’t seem to concentrate on any of the books I need to read.

[Nicole]

I have The Holdout (red) on loan from the library and ordered The Paris Hours (green) from BOTM. Can’t tell if they fit our needed cards based on Good Reads summaries.

[Rachel]

I have the owlcrate version of all the stars and teeth which is quite blue. does that fit anywhere? The only yellow books I have are carry on by rainbow Rowell and the girl with all the gifts.

[Alissa]

Just catching up this morning. I have finished The Butterfly Girl, My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress, and Whisper Network. All are on the spreadsheet.

I am also having a hard time concentrating. It's like I make it through my work and just want to stare at the wall.

I think we're all in the same boat. I'm reading up to 10 books at a time, just so I can usually find something to hold my interest.

[Allison Ann]

If you're going to read them anyway, hopefully they will work for one of the colours, if not, plenty of other choices in the hands. :D

Nicole read last month. We used it for 6 Blue, which we don't need this month, but maybe she remembers some other characters?

Looks like will work for 1 and 2 Yellow at least. I'm afraid isn't quite yellow enough, but it does work for Reverse.

[Allison Ann]

Alissa wrote: "Just catching up this morning. I have finished The Butterfly Girl, My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress, and Whisper Network. All are on ..."

Thanks Alissa. Every non-fiction book you read goes immediately on my TBR. :D

[Nicole]

All the Stars and Teeth takes place in a world called Visidia so it would work for Blue 7

[Rachel]

Thanks Nicole! I can read that next for the blue 7.

Oops. I didn't pull the book all the way out of the shelf in the case of Carry On. haha.

I think I went through a frenzy of reserving a bunch of interesting sounding non-fictions at the library at some point. At least I did them on audio so I can get them since the library is sadly shut,

That happens. Also, the trend of a yellow spine for a non-yellow book. So annoying. :D

[Erica]

[Erica]

[Denise]

Erica wrote: "8 Red- Dave Eggers"

Great book! I loved it. The movie was just ok.

[Allison Ann]

Erica wrote: "8 Red- Dave Eggers"

It was a good book, but I'm afraid it isn't considered Red by the captain's group. But will still work for Card 8 or Reverse.

And I have trouble with blue/green. looks blue to me, what does everyone else think?

[Allison Ann]

[Allison Ann]

What do we think? Blue?

The other thumbnails are clearly purple, but I have the hardcover and it looks blue to me. I am notoriously bad at colours though.

[Rachel]

It looks somewhere between blue and purple. So I am no help.

[Allison Ann]

If I put a purple beside it does that help?

[Nicole]

Still looks light purple to me

[Rayne]

Looks purple to me. Sorry.

[Allison Ann]

No worries. I'm going to read it anyway, just not for blue. :D

Thanks Nicole. I'm not sure. I think I'll ask in the captain's group.

[Allison Ann]

Finished for 6 Red and for a 7 Blue, added to SS.

Captain's are overwhelmingly in favour of Red. So we'll use it for a cover. Thanks Nicole.

[Allison Ann]

Currently reading for 9 Yellow, character named Nick.

[Alissa]

Completed -



I have a copy of The Hunting Party. Is it good?

[Allison Ann]

Thanks Alissa - 2 Reverse cards down!

I haven't gotten very far into The Hunting Party yet, but it is very familiar, like I've read the same story too many times recently. But not bad.

[Rayne]

Finished A Constellation of Roses. SS updated.

[Allison Ann]

Updated, thanks Brooklyn.
