The Meg Ryan task is for bonus points and that's the only book where another task option can be used . So we can probably use it. :)
Laura..devouring books like crumpets wrote: "Well done Mel on March Mini......"Agree!

So you don't hate me for it. Oh.. Relief! :D
I can do task 6. The Color Purple I am reading is a physical book I bought before Christmas and the lady is wearing a white dress! I will add the proper cover to the spreadsheet later on
I am pretty sure the number 31 works for the audiobook I am listening to, written by Agatha Christie, The Hollow
Sorry, Barbara. We need white male clothing to fit that task. :(
But The Hollow will work for reserve, BTW. I have read it.
Also, Task 31 modified a bit because of some issues, MPG Mystery or Mysteey-Detective will be accepted instead of Detective Fiction

Is there any other mini task it may fit? If not, don't worry, just finish it when it suits you.
Main Page Genre :)What is listed next to a book on the right hand side of its page
put my guess in for 40 - 42 , 16- 18, 4-6. Im pretty sure im right with those 3
43- 45 i put my guess in not 100 percent on California though
i have half guesses for some others not sure tho
Scandinavia Maybe Abba
LGBT Maybe Queen
For 43-45 I think you might be right...they are from CA, if I remember correctly. I think you're right for the others too.I have some more guesses too, so take a look. I put question marks on the ones I'm not as sure about.
This part of the challenge has got 80s music going in the house as I listen for things that might match the clues. lol.

*Loved this Irish set book"
Thanks Laura! Can you please add to your uno shelf when you get a sec?
Has anyone read "Emerald Blaze" by Ilona Andrews?It will work for the male white shirt/shapeshifter tasks and I was wondering if it would work for a reserve card? :)

I feel like Queen has to be one of them. But none of them is jumping out at me as Queen.
7-8 25-27 I agree with I'm not overly familiar on the other songs....
Will add it x
I'm thinking Whitney Houston perm and I wanna dance with somebody... But no idea what space has to do with it
A white shirt may be do able it was a whit suite and hat that was a no go for me
Laura..devouring books like crumpets wrote: "I'm thinking Whitney Houston perm and I wanna dance with somebody... But no idea what space has to do with it"I was thinking maybe Private Dancer (Tina Turner), but also not sure what space has to do with it. But the music videos come into play, so I may spend an evening watching music videos to see if I can figure anything out.

The book prompts group into sets of three, which together provide clues to a 80s song. We need to try to figure out the band and the song. The clues could be in reference to the song, the artist, or the music video.
So, as an example...
34. Read a book set in Australia
35. Read a book with at least 2 men on the cover
36. Read a book with MPG Travel
Band: Men at Work, Song: Down Under
Men at Work is an Australian band made up of 2 guys, and the song Down Under is about traveling around the world (basically).
Ahh yea tina!!!!!!
I am holding back my books for tomorrow morning to fit the mini tasks already. :)
OH NO! Number 28, 29, and 30 is Bruce Springsteen - Dance in the Dark. Bruce is known as "The Boss"!!!I might be wrong but think about it!!
tbh unless it's a soundtrack or rock.. I'm not too good with 80s .music, couldn't give you my opinion on Bruce Springsteen but your reasons sound good
Lorna, I also love the 80s! I was born in 91, but I had spent my whole childhood listening to Pet Shop Boys, Men at Work, Madonna...
Laura, I first thought about Celine Dion and Whitney Houston, both were married with their producers, but BS fits so well to this prompt... I am not sure, but let's wait for the others :D I found this mini task super fun
I was born in 1975 so 80s music was totally the "time of my life", growing up. It brings back such great memories. :)
I saw bowie one of my ultimate faves... Fleetwood mac, muse REM,.placebo snow patrol,.prodigy and rolling stones, the who and faithless live they was all great... Really want to see Metallica they are my ultimate... That's the kind of music I listen too unless it's in a soundtrack when its pop I don't really know it....
Hi, I am sharing this info with you as this was also given to all capatins:
task 22 - reference to the song title
task 23- how they were wearing their hair in the video (Meg Ryan is not a clue, just some extra)
task 24 - the name of the band/singer
task 24 - you need some out of the box associations for the name, but I hope you can figure it out. :)
This has also been shared with all captains:Task 1 - reference to name of the band
2 - song title
3 - reference to name of the singer
So, 1. Queen, 3. Freddy MERCURY, and now...which song?
ok, so I guessed a few but I need everyone's point of view.

Feels like we need a way to track what things on the list might be most difficult, so that we can try to find books that will work for them. I'll add the name column back in so that people can put down that they have books for those categories. Feel free to put your name down even if someone is already there, since some books will count for multiple categories. But that will help us see that nobody is able to cover something.
I added the things that some you already called out that you can cover. I also put a couple of guesses in to get us started.
