LOL Lorna - but I've felt the same way at times.

Hopefully I'll finish Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine this weekend but everything it would match for the mini is already taken. :(

Melindam | 4427 comments I have reshuffled my books a little, and found some much shorter ones for MPG Space and "permed hair".

I have found a book that would work both for MC is a Dancer/ Dance in title Dance of Dreams (Bannions, #2) by Nora Roberts

+ a short one for Dance in title
Angels' Dance (Guild Hunter, #0.4) by Nalini Singh

so I can cover those.


message 659: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments But "Cown on cover/in title" is still going begging.

If someone could take it, it would be much appreciated. Swapping/bartering is allowed and encouraged. :)

Heather Carrasco | 842 comments Such a busy weekend again! But it was nice... hiking with friends, dinner with my parents, and I gave in and got the kids a bearded dragon to add to the zoo we seem to be building in our home. Lol.

I didn’t get a chance to look at the sheets, but Mel, sounds like you did? And I got a little reading in but not nearly as much as I wanted. I’ll make another push before I go to sleep tonight!

Colleen  | 293 comments @Laura - I've had Something Borrowed on my physical shelf forever - I liked your take on it and may need to bump it up.

I'll be able to finish my Detective Fiction book by 3/31 (hopefully before) so no worries there.


message 687: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Heather

the colour cards/WD4s are covered, so unless the book is very exciting, would you mind keeping it for April? :)


message 688: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Thanks @Alma, don't worry, we need the regular cards and thanks to all if you, the minis tasks are either done or claimed.

@Lorna: if you could start an extra book, that would be lovely. Leave it to the end, so if we don't need it for March, it would absolutely come in handy for the April cards. :)

Thanks Heather & Colleen. :)

The thing i appreciated with the book... is its true.... it Happens... not All romance is clean cut they meet Have a misunderstanding they are able to overcome Then Happily ever after... the characters like i said all had bad qualities.... But it was interesting reading them trying to work through all their issues....

Quarto de Despejo by Carolina Maria de Jesus

4 Stars - 25/03
Cards: 1, 7

I finished this audiobook yesterday. I am not sure in which card to add it, zero or 1, because it was her first book diary, but there is another one from when she left the favela to live in a better place. So they are quite complementary.

I will finish The Cruel Prince this weekend.
