Remember you can find items on covers as well as words in text, and you can be a little creative on it (within reason of course). For the #s it is series, publish date, or page #s.
Circle, lady & sharp (ie sword or knife) should be fairly easy to find on covers. Peaks (for mountain) is too. Lime (green), bananas (yellow) and orange are fairly easy to find for colors on covers.

I tried to use the search thing on my Kindle to look for words but it didn´t work this time for some reason...I´m starting to wonder now if I was wi-fi connected and that´s why it didn´t work... lol!

Just thought that listing it for peaks would be better since circle is easier to find.
We have 1/2 the mini-challenge tasks done. Great job everyone! Since we're now on a new page, thought I would re-list the mini-challenge tasks so we don't have to go back & forth:airtight ~ OPEN

You're killing it Ananya!Let's use your Kiwi Lime book for Limes instead since I started
last night for kiwi on cover.I've also removed my book for 12 since someone else can fill it sooner - it can be #12 in series, published in December, published on 12th or published in 2012. If you find Shredded, we can remove mine and use yours instead. No biggie.
And with that book, we are DONE with our UNO cards for the month (we'll get the main SS updated tonight)!!! Amazing job everyone!! And with one week to go, we only need to focus on Mini-Challenge books now. Updated list:
airtight ~ OPEN (for cover - can be spaceship or airplane, spacesuit)

I think we used my book with peak for something else other than peak but if it comes up in another book I will let you know. Also, there is a lot of ORANGE references in I’ll give you the sun however... I read a different edition than what is posted for the yellow cover so I can’t reference it to exact page number.
Peak and orange are both still open (not read for yet) but I'm sorry, not sure what you mean by "read a different edition than what is posted for yellow cover"? Do you just mean the link above, or that you read a different edition that what you shelved?The book you shelved was
this edition so is this correct? I placed that book under Starfruit since the color is like that of a starfruit. We also used it for the yellow card. If you read a different edition, you will need to shelve the correct edition, with the correct cover and we will need to move books around.

This one wasn´t very good for the rest of the mini-challenge words apparently! ;)
Do you have an unused 5? Because in Hand three 5 was used for the book “Dear Ava” read by Alla. It definitely has a chest and abs on the cover. Just a heads up.
Michele wrote: "Do you have an unused 5? Because in Hand three 5 was used for the book “Dear Ava” read by Alla. It definitely has a chest and abs on the cover. Just a heads up."What do you mean by "unused"? I'm confused because that book was used in hand 5 so not sure what you mean...
Unfortunately we can't use that book for the mini-challenge because the mini-challenge did not start until the 14th.
Yes Cathy, I actually read the hardcover edition but shelved the paperback version because it was the one with the yellow cover.
Did the hardcover have that same yellow cover? Or did it have
this cover? Books shelved should be the edition you read and if the edition you read is not on GR if you provide a link we can ask a librarian to update.
I assume you mean that you read the one with this
cover. Then I'll need to shuffle books around and we may need another color cover for our UNO cards.We will also need a book for starfruit.
