OK, I just tried planning some books, so I'm ready. Hope I did it right ;-)

The only thing I changed was that I put the potential hands in the "colour/card" column. I would like to keep the "Hand Number" column empty until there is a certain hand it goes in. If I need to find a book later in the main ss, I know where to look:)

Great, then I actually think I get it now. Am so ready :)

[Kristel]

I'm going to repost all the color cards here, so you can all start to claim them:)

Cards we need to read for:

1 Blue📘
6 Blue📘
1 Yellow📒
8 Yellow📒
2 Green📗
4 Red📕
6 Red📕

WD4

We have 7 colour cards and 6 "Wild Draw 4", which means we need to duplicate 6 of our colour cards. (Each card can be duplicate once!)

Each colour card needs to fit the letter AND the colour.
For instance 1 Blue📘 needs to have 1 or One in the title, O title, author, character, place or 1 in series AND at least 51% blue

Kristal, I have entered a book on the spreadsheet. Is this O.K. for my first book?

Great! Added to message 7. I'm assuming your reading that version. 'cause that's the only blue one I found😅

Looks fine. I'm not sure if works for yellow though, It depends on what version you read. Some versions are very pale yellow. Right now it doesn't appear to work witch any yellows we need, so I guess it doesn't really matter😅

[Kristel]

I'm going to read for Green 2:)

I totally agree! Especially for the coloured cards, we should plan which books to use. For all others tasks, I would suggest that we read what we want... normally there is always something to fill in the hand with all our books :)

[Lauri]

I am so excited! I want to start already!!
I am behaving myself with admirable restraint so far & have not started any new books. I trying to concentrate on finishing some I've already started & cleaning up some other challenges.

I'll visit the library on Monday to pick up some books for the color cards. Yaaaayyyy!

[Jeanette]

I have “Little fires everywhere” as well as a backup green😉

[Jeanette]

Oh, forgot the “2” green🙄

[Jeanette]

Does my little fire go with anything, or should I just read it now and find something else fore the challenge?

[Kristel]

Jeanette wrote: "Does my little fire go with anything, or should I just read it now and find something else fore the challenge?"

Actually I'm pretty sure that it has a "T" character in it. We can use it for one of the WD4 to duplicate Green 2:)

[Jeanette]

Ok, great.
I feel the urge to say “are we there yet?”😂

[Franziska]

Do you think could work for yellow 8 ? It's written bei Elena Ferrante (it's a sequel to "My brilliant friend", only in German), so it has an E in it. I will also ask Tineye, but if it works, I will make sure to finish it on time :)

OK, so Tineye says brown... but for me the main color, which is said to be brown, is yellow... I will ask in the captain's group :)

[Jeanette]

I think it looks yellow too

[Franziska]

I asked in the captain's group and most of them agreed that it could count as yellow. So I will use it for yellow 8, then :)

[Lauri]

Hey, y'all...
Am I confused or maybe looking in the wrong place, but when I look at our February card, I see these color cards:

Hand 2 - 2 Blue
Hand 4 - 2 Blue
Hand 6 - 9 Yellow
Hand 8 - 4 Red
Hand 10 - 8 Blue
Hand 12 - 4 Green
Hand 14 - 8 Yellow

Please tell me I'm not crazy!

Would Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively do for 6 Blue? I entered it on line 18 of the spread sheet.
Sorry, I'm still trying to get the hang of this.

You are right, I see the same colours as you and now I am confused... where do your cards come from, Kristel?

[Kristel]

Soo, it appears that I accidentally copied the books from the wrong table. I have a large ss with a bunch of information in it. Sorry!!

I'm going to add the right ones and see how can I fit the current books there😅

[Lauri]

I was totally freaking out! Thanks for the confirmation!

[Franziska]

These things happen. Don't worry :) So I see we still have a yellow 8, so I can use my yellow book :D but I am confident that we are still able to fill some of the coloured cards. And uno hasn't started yet, so we still have a lot of time for planning.

[Kristel]

Jeanette, unfortunately, I couldn't fit Little Fires Everywhere anywhere, sorry!

Every other book is still up for grabs:)

[Kristel]

If you have a book you want to read for a particular colour card, comment here, so the rest of will know also:)

[Heather]

I could read The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper

[Jeanette]

Don’t feel bad Kristel. I love the book hunting part so no worries😉.
Great you caught it so early, Hawaii😄
I just pick up my little fire now, and find something else for the challenge👍🏼

I’ll check out what other books I have, and see what fits the list🥳

[Jeanette]

I can read Gemina by Kaufmann and Kristoff 2-blue

[Anne]

Jeanette,
You say you love the searching for suitable books.
Do you have a particular method for this, because I am getting a bit bogged down by it. If you have a method that would help a lot.
Thanks,

Anne

[Kristel]

Great! Added both The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper and Gemina to the tracking post:)

[Jeanette]

I’m not sure if I have a specifically clever method🧐. I simply look at the covers and see if it’s part of a series or if it fits with the letters we need. I have printed the rules so it’s easier to cross check with the books we need. And then have a little nerd party perusing my private little library😂🥳

[Jeanette]

4-red : Djævelens lærling by Kenneth Bøgh Andersen. Main character = Filip

[Anne]

Thanks Jeanette. I think I just need to get a bit more organized. Right now I’m just picking up books and putting them down again, trying my hardest not to start reading them. 😀

Anne

[Lauri]

Hey Anne, I am even less 'scientific' when choosing books! I go to the library & get 2 of each color needed -- as long as the book synapsis interests me. Then I hope for the best! For the long haul, I may order certain books because we still have a month to read them. Then I just pick them up when they come in. Don't stress about it, just have fun!!

Thanks for the good advice Lauri.

[Lauri]

I can do Blue 2 - Eaters of the Dead character Thorkel

Red 4 - The Harmony Silk Factory character Frederick

My covers look like this:



Can someone please add them to our planning sheet for me please?

Thank you!

I love my library....

[Kristel]

Added to the tracking post, but didn't jet add or for red. I want confirmation from the captains' thread that they can work:)

Klassisk.com by Nathan Englander = 9-yellow

[Jeanette]

Sorry, Kaddish.com😜

[Kristel]

Jeanette wrote: "Sorry, Kaddish.com😜"

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Kaddish.com has enough yellow in it. The cover has to be at least 51% of the colour.

[Jeanette]

Dang😳
On it again🤓

[Jeanette]

I think it’s the wrong version, bcs. it’s more than 51%. I use Libby books. Think it’s 90% yellow.
