Bitter FallsDivorced, Desperate And Dating
I see that you added these 2 for me and even got a couple categories to use them. That's good.
Now, what can I do to help us finish? Do I owe anything right now that I haven't finished that I said I'd do? LOL
Okay y'all, I am starting 1/6 - 1984 for science fiction.Pray for me. I hate the part with the rats.

Oh Noel... Be brave!

Go team!

Or just read as many books as possible? Just finished The Grace year, it was amazing! Im now on vacation for 2 weeks so will be reading lots!
Wow puddings, this is incredible, we just have 13 books left (I am counting with Tina's book which isn't yet on the SS). This is awesome! I had doubts we would finish our cards, but I am now speachless! Well done everyone!Just to keep track of things:
> Cyndee will read 4 more books,
> Tina will read 1 more book;
> I'll read 2 more books;
> Noel is finishing another one today.
--> That's already 8! So only 5 left, which I am sure we'll be able to finish! Noel is grabing a couple of books at the moment and things are looking pretty good! I'll be snooping on your shelves and checking the SS and will keep really regular updates on the thread now, so that we don't through all this effort and end up "wasting" books.
I am so happy and so proud of all of you guys! Really well done!

If you could manage to finish reading even just one book it would be of much help :)
Oh, and I'll be putting something together for the story, just a couple of sentences where the titles appear and then everybody can pitch in a couple of their own in the middle of those. More on this tomorrow! :)
For purpose of the story, I’m reading and really hoping I finish, in a dark dark wood.
We are done with the mini and have only Here's the list of titles for the story:
Looking for Alaska
Mercy
The Color Purple
All Grown Up
Black Girl Unlimited
Untouchable
When All is Said
Gone for Good
Divorced, Desperate And Dating
Bitter Falls
Twelve Unending Summers
The Grace Year
Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas
The Poet X
Grey
I'll be spending some time now putting it together :) I'll be back soon!
Ahhhh amazing. You ladies have smashed it
Jen could you please add Serpant & Dove to your shelf?Also, I'm really happy you rated almost all of your books for this month with 5 stars. :)
Noel, don't forget to update the state of Have a Little Faith: a True Story to "read" :)
I’m still reading - about 50 pages to go! Sadly, it’s a true story so the title is the only thing we can use :(
Well... I wrote something. I am a bit embarrassed about it, I don't know why. I never wrote anything in my life. I think I am freaking out a bit. Remember how I said I was going to put up some sentences together? Oh, I wrote way too much I think. Anyway, it's on the SS now. Could you please read it and give some feedback? Add whatever you like! Beware if you change sentences with titles! Please correct my English where necessary :)
We have 4 books left!Cyndee, will you read Queen of Klutz and Knight & Play until the end of the month?
Noel, will you finish The Bridges of Madison County? (I really liked that book!!)
We need just one other book if that is the case.
I can finish the book I am reading, which is the second from the series "Alice in Wonderland". I am just wondering if anyone else is going to read anything else in the meanwhile (maybe because they have to for another challenge, I don't know), because I can leave a couple of pages in the book for next month! I'll wait to hear from you in let's say 12 hours? (our time zones are messy), otherwise, I'll finish mine, and everybody else should hold on their books, ok?
Diana - I will finish Bridges tonight and can probably get 1-2 more done if we need them

Yes, I'm almost done with Knight & Play and I'll definitely have Queen of Klutz done by Tuesday.
I have more time than I expected before the end of the month, so I can also complete one more if we need it.

You guys are amazing! I was planning on finishing my current book before the end of the month, but it sounds like I can save a few pages till next month instead:) Great job everyone!
Noel wrote: "Diana - I will finish Bridges tonight and can probably get 1-2 more done if we need them"No need Noel! I have a couple of pages left in my book that I am saving for April since Vicki read a book in the meantime :)
With your book and Cyndee's two books, we are done for the month :)
I have 2 on the go at the moment and will finish both Wednesday onwards :)
One down, half of one to go. I'll be done this afternoon.
Did a quick read of the story, Diana and I like it!

Jen wrote: "https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...Can anyone tell me what color this book would be?... if any haha"
personally id say it was grey.
I can also read Crescent City by Sarah J maas this month, its a red cover. For sure red 6 but im sure it can fall into another by the time i end the book.
Jen wrote: "https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...Can anyone tell me what color this book would be?... if any haha"

5 Green 1
1 Blue 2 -- Gem / Baby Doll
5 Blue 1 -- Noel / Yhe Blessings (also fits 7 Blue)

8 Blue 1 -- Diana / Everything I Never Told You
7 Yellow 2
8 Yellow 1 -- Tina / The Bride Test

Baby Doll would work for Blue 1, but we sadly don't have a Green 2 :(
Jen wrote: "I can also read Crescent City by Sarah J maas this month, its a red cover. For sure red 6 but im sure it can fall into another by the time i end the book."Red 6 is perfect! And I also added your name to Red 9 Jen :)
I'll take Green 5 -
has Inspector Thomas in it
Gem ~Zero Shelf Control~ wrote: "I'll take Green 5 - has Inspector Thomas in it"Titles don't count, must be the name of the character!

Oh, so many books! How awesome! :D
So another update...
Vicki has in her Read shelf:
> Bitter Falls
> Divorced, Desperate And Dating
I'll add these two myself to the Tracking SS taking into account what GR has about characters/author/title.
This means that we have 18 left in the main.
Until the end of the month:
- Cyndee will read:
> Honor's Debt
> The Chalk Man
> Queen of Klutz
> Knight & Play
Total: 4 books
14 left!
Gem will finish
> Fangirl
and possibly another one
I'll read the book I have for the taks on the mini, and I'll make an effort to read another short one (I'll have to find it after writing this!)
Tawni may be able to finish
> The trial
so we have roughly 9 books left on the main! I reckon Noel, Tina and Jen may finish between themselves 2 books, so at least we will be able to use our skip cards and finish the month!
