Melindam | 4427 comments March Cards:

Regular Hands: 9 books to go

We are covering easy cards now (0, 1, 2, 3, 6 + 1 Wild), all tricky cards are done.

Mini books: 7+1

Practically this means that it's important that we finish our books for the Mini tasks and we need 1 extra book for a regular card and then we are done for March.

FANTASTIC TEAMWORK!

Many thanks. :)

SandyL | 336 comments I have a book that says ...."while Meg Ryan was being particularly adorable with her shaggy nineties curls....."

If we still need a book for Meg Ryan hair, would this fit? And do you need me to read it or does Heather have this covered?


message 721: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Thanks, Lorna. I'll double-check that.

@Heather - how are you faring with The Attorney?


message 722: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Lorna, seems we forgot to add it somehow. But we'll do it now.


message 723: by Heather (new)

Heather Carrasco | 842 comments Hey all!
I finished my Scandinavia book this weekend...
Nemesis (Harry Hole, #4) by Jo Nesbø

And I'm about half way through The Attorney, so I'll finish that up.

I am also almost done with one I was reading for a color card (Yellow 3 or 8), but if we don't need it for this month I'll finish for next month instead.


message 724: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Heather, please keep your yellow book until April, if you don't mind.


message 725: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments It would come in handy for 3 Yellow.


message 726: by Heather (new)

Heather Carrasco | 842 comments yeah, was just looking at that. Will hold for April!!!

So glad you did.

Yes, this will be my 4th Tower Teams challenge. :)
I love Discworld, so I am super excited that this is the theme for this year. But you don't need to know DW or even read the books if you don't want to, to enjoy it and have fun.

3 years ago, the theme was Harry Potter and we were put into teams according to the pottermore test of which house we belong to. :)
