I’ll take this also which will work for Blue 1 or Blue 6

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 505 comments Once we finish the recipe we will officially be done for February. Great job everyone! Anyone have any favorites you've read so far? Hope everyone is having fun so far!

I have Best Day Ever by Kaira Rouda which works for 6 Red. If no one has anything for 6 Yellow I have The Rule of One (The Rule of One, #1) by Ashley Saunders which works. But I'll wait on that until everyone else has a chance to pick any color cards.

We did an amazing job on February cards so I have no doubt we'll be able to fill these as well. Keep a look out for Hs and Fs again since we have the most of them, but you can really just read what you like and we'll move books around to fit them in.

Jodi | 130 comments My favorites were Educated and Love Warrior.


I really want to read this one for March also and I think it will work for Green 3....

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 505 comments I forgot I have that one too! Pretty good ratings on it so it looks like it will be good. If you want to read it, go for it! But we should see what everyone else has for color covers before claiming that spot so everyone has the chance to contribute. We can also use it for a Reverse card since Michele has read it.

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 505 comments Looking over my books, didn't have any 5 star reads yet. But I am loving the InCryptid series and started my re-read of the Mercy Thompson series because I felt lost when I read the last book last year. Plus its been I think 8 yrs since I read the 1st couple books in the series so its been a really long time!

Alla (allaskarp) | 364 comments I can read Seduction and Snacks (Chocolate Lovers, #1) by Tara Sivec which also works for Red 6, so we could dublicate that one Cathy, would that work?

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 505 comments A couple minutes late (I blame Netflix) but March has officially begun! Any books finished after this point can be used towards our March hands.

We still have a couple color covers that have not yet been claimed so if you have any books that fit and you can fit in, please let us know. And please make sure the edition you are using is the one that you are reading. The edition you read should be the one that is shelved.

Jodi - I went ahead and put you down for the 3 Green card (dup). Just let us know if you still plan on reading it this month.

Happy reads everyone!

Might use these for Reverse since I've read both. How are you liking the Mercy Thompson series? Is this the 1st time you've read them? I'm doing a re-read so I'm right behind you :)

They’re good. It’s my first time reading them. I got lucky and found most of the series at half price books recently. They are too short. I feel like I’m flying through them.

Thank you Cathy! "One of Us is Next" luckily was a fast read but suffered not being able to meet the level of the first book in the series. I really had hopes for "All the Stars and Teeth" but it was honestly painful to get through. Thought about discarding it several times but finally made it through. On to my next two reads- hoping for higher marks!

Oh you are in for a treat then! It's a great series. The spin-off, Alpha & Omega series, is good too though I think I like Mercy a little more. If you love UF though, you should REALLY check out Ilona Andrews!!!! They (it's a husband-wife team) have 2 of my favorite series in UF - Kate Daniels (Magic Bites though the 1st book is the weakest) & the Hidden Legacy Burn for Me series. Both are SOOOOO GOOD!!!!!

That's disappointing. I was interested in reading that 2nd book too (One of Us is Lying), and still will, but will probably put it off for a while... I don't remember seeing anything about that other book but after your comments, think I'll pass. I have plenty of others to read :)

Fingers crossed your next reads are better!

Unless the "pet" has a speaking part, like Oberon in Iron Druid Chronicles, then no.
