For light on cover, it should be a type of light - lamp, lightpost, lightbulb, something that emits light. Any will work.You all have been reading up a storm! Looks like we might not have much left to fill. I'm doing updates to the SS right now so once finished will post an updated list.

Oh no Alla! Drink lots of fluids, get lots of rest. Take care of yourself first and foremost!
Updates ~ We only need 2 more for our UNO cards, a #1 card and the #9 Green card. I used Alla's blue book since it worked for the 7 Blue card so Jodi you don't have to read that other one if you don't want to.Mini-Challenge Unfinished Tasks:
1. Drink on cover - Alla - The Real - Coffee cups on cover
24. Lights on cover - Michele - Love is Darkness
I think One Day in December works better in the story so I listed it below of possible titles we can use. We can use up to 15 of them and it is for additional points so anyone want to work together or help put a story together?
Part 2: Book titles (listed all so far that can be used but we can only get points for 15 titles): (view spoiler)
Open Color Cards:
9 Green ~ OPEN
Thank you all!We are doing well, we have very mild symptoms (compared to many others) and hopefully it stays that way.
We have a bit of a headache, dry throat, I have a little fewer (not high) and a little coughing here and there, and then we get this cold and hot periods over the day. Other than that so far, nothing :)
I´m thankfully able to do everything I need to do around the house and I can read :)

Does it have enough green on cover?
I’m almost done with a book that will work for the #1 card... it’s first in a series. I’ll finish today or tomorrow.

Michele can do hers if she wants! No problem. I was just suggesting it if we really needed it, I still have to finish The Real so if Michele has time to cover Green 3, that´s totally fine with me :)
I’ll finish it and you can decide how best to use it.

What are we supposed to do?
Completion Post:
by Sam CheeverThis covers:
3- Humpty (Title)
Green 3
I don't know how to work on Part 2 either until the flowsheets are filled in. Then I presume we write a story using the titles of the books?
We just create a story using up to 15 book titles in the story.
This is what was listed for it:Once you have everything you need to get ready, tell us a little story, why don't you?
A little anticipation on what you expect to encounter in your preparations, or your travels. Maybe a crazy mishap during your travels, maybe a totally wonderful yet incredibly unbelievable romance....
Use the titles of 15 books to tell us your memoirs. Be as creative as you like. You can use as much or as little of a title as you see fit.
◈ Books can be used either for the tasks or for the story.
◈ Every book used for the story will be worth 10 points.
◈ Finishing your story will earn your team an additional 30 points.
Ok, how many more titles do we still need?

I have a lot of colored covered books on my TBR list.I'm going to put down all the ones I can cover, but of course if any of you have something else you can and want to cover then please put them down! *lol*
I just want to put them down here if nothing else comes up ;)
Blue 2
Blue 7
I can dublicate this one with:
Green 1
Green 4
I can dublicate this color with:
Red 1
Red 2
Yellow 2
Yellow 3
Yellow 6
Yellow 7
This is what I have, just let me know what you want me to cover ;)
I can cover them all if needed, but like I said, if you have something elsa and want to cover it, then absolutely do :D
So for our story could we start by running titles together? For example, "One day in December we set the dark on fire. The storm cursed, silence fallen and even the frost burned. There were thirteen reasons why but one of us was lying. It may have been the vegetarian or the woman in the window. Maybe even the girl interrupted or the fangirl. I suspect my sister's keeper. No matter, the arrangement or the game was a brotherhood in death. Stillhouse lake burned, there was a furniture fatality in Las Vegas as well as scary modsters and creepy freeks. Not even the allure of Dean Harper could stop the sentence of death. That day in December everyone everywhere burned. Our world as we once knew it can never be the same." We could easily change it up. Just an idea.

You go girl!!

Thanks! But please, if you have anything in any color that you can cover and want to read, please add it, I just wanted to put mine out here so you would know that I can cover those colors if no one has anything for them ;)
Is there a document (like google docs og similar) that we can use and all have access to edit and throw ideas into the story. I like what Michele has so far. We only have 2 days to finish, right?
Alla wrote: "Is there a document (like google docs og similar) that we can use and all have access to edit and throw ideas into the story. I like what Michele has so far. We only have 2 days to finish, right?"Hey Alla! I just plugged in titles Cathy listed in comment 538. Please edit/change/discard anything you want. I think I used too many titles so please have at it! Mine was simply an idea as we're running out of time.
Hey Michele. I had also been sitting down trying to put something together too, like trying to make a short story or something. I came up with this.English is not my first language so maybe this doesn´t make any sense and the spelling might not be right at times.
What do you think?
One day in December we decided to spend a weekend at our cabin by Stillhous lake. We arrived late Friday evening and the weather was so beautiful when we got there, that even though it was freezing cold we set the dark on fire outdoors by lighting dry wood we kept in the shed. We had to sit close by so our hands wouldn´t get frost burned. The arrangement was so nice and since I´m the oldest and my sister´s keeper, I made sure to keep her close to me. „Lets play a game“ my sister said. „What game do you want to play“ I asked. „The game you play every time we come here, where you make me guess which animal you are pretending to be“. „Yes, lets do that, that´s always so much fun“ I said. This was an evening I will always remember. The silence fallen, stars shining so bright, no cloud to be seen for miles.
The next morning we drove into the small town nearby. The houses were very close to each other and when you drive through a small town like this one, you notice people looking at your car when you drive by. „Did you see the woman in the window over there?“ my sister asked me. „No“ I answered. „Well it was more of a girl and she was staring at our car, like a girl, interrupted or something“. „Don´t worry about it, unfamiliar cars probably get noticed in this town“ I told her.
After we had shopped for groceries and the vegetarian (that´s what we called the woman at the register because of her green hair and T-shirt, covered in vegatable pictures) had told us off for accidentally dropping a glass bottle of soda in the store, we headed towards the bakery. We loved that bakery and went there every time we visited the cabin. When we got into the bakery my heart just stopped. I saw the most pretty boy, or probably more of a young man, that I had ever seen in my life. I could give you more than thirteen reasons why he caught my attention, but the main reason was that he had the allure of Dean Harper, the famous movie star that was starring in the biggest movie today. He was absolutely humpty bumpkin *swoon*. I had never seen him working there before and after asking him about if he was new in this town, I found out that he just moved back home. He had been working in the city, at a tech store called Scary Modsters...and Creepy Freeks, but his father got sick so he decided to come back home and help in the family bakery. Before we left the bakery to go back to our cabin to spend our last evening before heading back home, we exchanged numbers.
Fabulous job both of you!!!!!!! You both are AWESOME!!!!!! I had actually started something too (more a story in poem form) but yours are better so I won't even go there :)
:)Well at least we manage to get these extra points this time since we didn´t last time. We didn´t do the recipe in Feb did we?
You still feeling ok Alla? Symptoms not too bad?
Cathy M. wrote: "You still feeling ok Alla? Symptoms not too bad?"I´m good thank you for asking!
Haven´t gotten any worse, everything on the way up from now on I think :D
My husband has been not badly affected either, a little bit of a headache and he lost his sense for taste and smell last Wednesday, hasn´t returned, but that´s about all that´s bothering him.
We are lucky and we know it. There are many people that are getting way more ill then we are.
Great job Alla and Michele getting our story done! I’ve had back to back migraine attacks, but I’m starting to feel better.

Oh good! I've been thinking about you, seeing you on here regularly made me think you were feeling ok but wanted to ask to be sure :) Hang in there!
