We need yellow!!! I think someone is down for the purple.

Changed it... Now we are down to needing 2 covers.. Green & black

[Kirsten]

Hand Seven, Card Six

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

This will also work for the green book!

Reason: Sixth book in series

I'm not reading Born at Midnight anymore because it's too slow...

[Laura]

Now we are down to needing a black cover. Did anyone read a book with a black cover since April 7th?

I added Kirsten's book to the spreadsheet and to the Easter challenge and took her book off that she isn't reading.

[Beth]

I can find a black cover if you need me to!

[Laura]

Lol.. I just want to read my next Plum book but I am resisting and trying to read the other books I have committed to! I am going to try (very hard ) to finish the pile of library books I have now before I get the next few.

I have 2 library books that are seriously overdue.. but the librarian made a mistake and didn't check them out and I have them here on my table but... my library account shows that they are still on hold waiting for me to pick them up!! Since they aren't on my account, I 'll keep them for a few more weeks until one of the librarians calls me on it.

I am reading a YA book right now.. and I 'm really enjoying it.

Sounds good Beth!

[Teddie]

Laura - lol on the saga of the library books!

I finished Guilty Pleasures - I'll mark it on the spreadsheet. I "should" read The Nightengale next, but I'm like you Laura - I'm not really in the mood to read the books I have/should read. Hmmmm...

[Laura]

Go with something really good Teddie! I am reading my two plum books soon

I love both my team challenges.. But sometimes I just want to read for me:)

[Tawallah]

Finished . Gave it 4*. Words fail me, but it was an eye opener and a rich book. Left me unsure about how I felt about the MC, but I think that's not a bad thing.

[Kirsten]

Just finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

[Kirsten]

Hand Nine, Card Seven

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Reason: 7th in series

[Laura]

Updated Kirsten & I's books to the spreadsheet

We really need two books to fit for 5 or we aren't going to be able to count the rest of the hands. Anyone have anything?

I filled those two five cards with Apoorv's books. (added his books to the spreadsheet)Though we still need a "f" for a 4 card and an "f" for a five card.

[Laura]

Finished Any Other Name
updated it to spreadsheet

[Beth]

(view spoiler)[Nineteen books in, I want Stephanie to choose and I want her to choose Ranger!! (hide spoiler)]

[Alexa]

So I had to return my Unbecoming of Mara Dyer to the library and someone else has it checked out so I can't finish it, but I did just finish The Raven Boys, which is also the first in the series. Can someone replace Mara with Raven Boys for me and mark it finished? Sorry!

[Beth]

Are there any characters/location/author/etc that starts with F? I can fit the book in hand 11 if there is

[Beth]

Never mind, I found a way to make it fit in there.

What did you think of The Raven Boys?
I liked it.. though I loved her other series so much more. ( the Mercy Falls Series)

[Laura]

I added and to the spreadsheet

We need to finish books for card 4 & 8 to finish hand 12 before the end of the month and maybe go on to hand 13. I may be able to finish another and take the card 8. ( I am going to finish these two first)

I forgot who else read Crown of Midnight.. I know someone did , so stuck it in the reverse

[Alexa]

The Raven Boys was the first book of hers I'd ever read, and I liked it but I wasn't as in love with it as everyone else seems to be. I hope the series gets better with the next two books!

And I read Crown of Midnight last month, although that feels like a year ago.

I thought it was you Alexa that read it.
Crown of Midnight (view spoiler)[ I guess it is plot filler but Cealena getting righteously upset at Chaol because of Nehemia's death does nothing for me.
She had just refused to be a part of Nehemia's rebellion and they left angry at each other and Chaol betrayed her??? Then she finds out that Nehemia lied to her? Grrrrr.. guess you tell I am a fan Chaol! (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

Finished Crown of Midnight

added it to the spreadsheet, moved a couple of books around to get more points.

[Laura]

Finished Takedown Twenty

reading My Life in Black and White by Kim Izzo

8-setting-England

This will probably be my last book for the challenge.

[Teddie]

I scooted The Nightingale to the H12 F card and swapped in Tangled for the earlier Reverse, as Kirsten's read it.
