You are a star! :D
Hey And I am pretty confident that Vicki will read at least another book until the end of the month, so the main challenge is nothing to worry about.
My advice is that, unless you're reading a book assigned to you for the mini *pale yellow cover to be assigned*, do not finish it this month. Leave a couple of pages until the 1st and the book will count towards our March cards!
Thats going to be so hard... theres like 10 days left :(
I can do pale yellow.Then, I’m just gonna start a nice long book that will take that man days to finish!

It's everybody's fault that we're doing SO GREAT! :D

I've got a few that are NOT for the mini that I'll be finishing for other commitments. Do you want me to still add those to the SS just in case they'll fill a gap somewhere?

Yay! I hope you like it as much as I did:) The first book in the series was also great!
I have a pale yellow cover with The Hotel New Hampshire! 
There's this one too:
Or this!

Hi Tawni,
It only counts if it was the edition you read! And from what I see on your shelf, you already read a different edition.
Ohhh, got it. This was the edition I read, which in person *is* very yellow, but the screen makes it look really dark:
I haven’t had a chance to add it, but I read Maybe, Maybe Not which is shades of yellow with a design that looks somewhat like corn
Noel wrote: "I haven’t had a chance to add it, but I read Maybe, Maybe Not which is shades of yellow with a design that looks somewhat like corn"I think we can use it for cornflour!
In that case we have 4 books left on the mini and 3 on the main challenge. (books for the mini will cover the main challenge, we have only a 2 and 3 Wilds left)
Books for the mini are:
3 -- Gem
24 -- Cyndee
120 -- Diana
270 -- Cyndee
Gem, Cyndee, are you ok with your reading? In case affirmative, the rest don't have to finish the books you're reading, even though you can! :) Tina, the spot that was assigned to you (6) was covered by Noel, you may save the book for next month if you want.
Ok, thanks for the info! I'll save the book for next month:)Great job everyone!
I'm definitely good with getting mine accomplished. I'm about 30% through the "24" and the other is short and will be no problem. The absolute latest these two would take me to finish would be Thursday, though I'd venture to guess it'll be before then.
Great job Puddings!!
Great job Puddings!!
I’m definitely gonna hold of on finishing The Casual Vacancy for next month - counts as a red and fits nearly every card.
Yep will be finished tonight or tomorrow 👍🏼
Just added mine to SS.That's me done for the month :) looking forward to seeing next months hands
I'm doing a buddy read for this so hopefully we can use it for a yellow as I wont be finishing this for a week or so

I'm so sorry I'm just now seeing this. Yes, it must've gotten cut off somehow. I'll fix it, but just in case it is "She poured a current of warm milk over it, scented with cinnamon and vanilla and sugar" (pg. 47).

No worries Vicki. Actually since we had a spare book with Vanilla, I used it.
We just completed the main challenge! And the mini is taken care of with Cyndee's book. And I sent Pixie our recipe! :D Well done puddings!
No need to add books to the spreadsheet until next month :)
We should get our March hands tomorrow :)
Way to go Puddings!! I'm almost done with the last book! I'll post a message in here when I'm done with it, no later than this time tomorrow!
I don't know if I should laugh, or if I should cry because we have our March hands and our coloured cards are the most difficult set I have ever seen 😂Here is a breakdown:
Coloured cards:
6 Yellow -- Gem
7 Yellow -- Cyndee (fits 8 Yellow too)
8 Yellow (x2) -- Diana (x1)
9 Yellow -- Diana
5 Blue (x2) -- Diana (x1)
5 Green -- Gem
6 Green -- Gem
Wild Draw 4: 3
Wild: 1
Skip: 7
Reverse: 8
0: 2
1: 7
2: 5
3: 6
4: 13
5: 9
6: 9
7: 6
8: 8
9: 6
Draw2: 6
I'm just going over my books to check what do I have here for the coloured cards. :)
Oh my those do look difficult. I will look into the reverses again!
My yellow (message 271) I posted above covers yellow 6. I had a red I needed to start but think i can swap it for another. I can also take Green 6 -
character is Simon

Im trying to get through some more of my bonds so I'll take Green 5 too -
I have one that works for either Yellow 7 or 8
I have a yellow a blue and a red I can take
Jen wrote: "I have a yellow a blue and a red I can take"We don't have red cards!
Which numbers do you have for blue and yellow? :)
Cyndee wrote: "I have one that works for either Yellow 7 or 8"I put it under the 7, but I made a note that it fits an 8 too :)
Gem ~Zero Shelf Control~ wrote: "Im trying to get through some more of my bonds so I'll take Green 5 too - "Now I want to read James Bond's books too. I completely forgot about them... I added your name to the Green 5!
actually I think I can do 2 blue Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth and They both die at the end by Adam Silvera the yellow the priory of the orange tree by samantha shannon. I'll just need someone to check that one and confirm its yellow enough
I've only read 3 or 4 and they dont have to be read in order and are short so they are really good to pick up when youre in a stump.
Jen wrote: "actually I think I can do 2 blue Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth and They both die at the end by Adam Silvera the yellow the priory of the orange tree by samantha shannon. I'll just need someone ..."
The priority of the orange tree is not yellow enough.
For the blue covers, I did not find how can they cover number 5, which is what we have in our cards. Are there characters with names starting with "I"?
Measure for Measure and Wuthering Heights both have an Isabella?
I'm going through my TBR for blue covers set in places like Illinois, Indiana, Ireland... :)
Ok, I have one that works for blue 5 :)
Perfect, Cyndee! If you don’t want to read or get it, I found another one that works for it too.
Ack Noel! I'm a little slow this morning (it's still early here in my part of the world), so I was thinking you were recommending Measure for Measure and Wuthering Heights for someone else to read. If you were wanting/planning to read those go for it! I didn't mean to come in snagging anything from you. :)
Oh no stepping on toes at all! I will have plenty with the reverses so if you want to take that one, Go ahead!

Sounds good!!

Noel wrote: "Oh no stepping on toes at all! I will have plenty with the reverses so if you want to take that one, Go ahead!"Noel, Cyndee, we have 3x Wild Draw 4! You can both read Blue 5's: one book will go to a Blue5 and the others can fill WD4's! :)
Tina wrote: "I plan to read Beautiful Bastard, which can work as Reverse since Cyndee has read it."One Reverse down :)
I have 2 books on my "READ SOON!" list that were read by Tina and 2 that were read by Vicki so I'll make sure to get them done in March. :)
