Great.I have removed A4b from our mini tracking.
Even if you already claimed a task, please list the possible alternatives, if there are any.
Apart from the 400+ and 450+, I would like us to leave the pages-count tasks as a last resort, in case there are books that fit nothing else, so please be on the lookout for alternatives there. Thanks.
I will also have a look at all our books for alternatives.

OK. I will and list the alternatives.

Yayy for red cover. :)
@Heather - I moved your Dark Sacred Night to 33a - MPG Mytery or thriller.@Lorna - We would use your
for bright pink and keep the "E" author for the alternative task
@BarbaraI saw that you have Pride and Prejudice on the tracking sheet. Don't want to push you too much, but if you are planning to read it, it would work for the task "Books as TV shows". :)
Also, I am puttinng this out here, in case you happen to have one of these books and planning to read them: Books with "Walkman" in text:
- Taking the Heat
- Eleanor & Park
- Horns
- Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Books with "Leg warmers" in text:
- The Hero and the Hacktivist
- The Vintage Summer Wedding
-Dancer, Daughter, Traitor, Spy (cover)
Also, if you find "neon" in the text of one of your books, I can move my "neon" book elswhere. :)

Count on me! I will take this one as an audiobook (:
Thanks Barabara, Lorna! :)Lorna, just make sure you let us know if there are any books you cannot complete.
Great - sounds like everything is under control :) and I'll be sure to look up any mini tasks that fit the books I'm reading later tonight.
How does spell out work? Is it just title? Or author series ect
Same as for oher Uno books excluding series number: Title, author, characters, place names
ok fab thanks x
Lorna, will you be able to read The Notebook? ( I see you added it to the tracking sheet). It's on the "Movie better than book list".If yes, I can move my Practical Magic for task "Book better than movie" list. Funnily it's on both lists. :)
Lorna,You didn't check the countdown.
:(
I am sorry, but we cannot use this book for the mini as you finished too early.
The countdown finished just now.
Only books finished as of now will count towards the Mini challenge.
But we can use it for 0 Red, as Laura's red book will work for 3 Red as well.

COMPLETION POST:
3,5 stars
I really enjoyed listening to this and it made me curious to try the other books in the series, but here the 2 sisters were too passive, it really annoyed me sometimes.
My verdict: I am glad I read it, but the Movie IS actually better. :)
5stars and a re-read :)
To date this is the most disgustingly attrocious cover I came across (strictly for kindle-reading!), but the content more than makes up for it.

for task "shoulder pads" in text
Dear Team,
we have kicked off the Mini with a bang! :) Already 7 tasks completed and quite a lot of tasks claimed.
As mentioned before, I would like to leave the page count/spell-it-out tasks for books we cannot use for any specific tasks.
But please check whether the books you are/will be reading could work for the following:
Tasks not yet claimed
6* read a book where the title starts with E
7* read a book with an author name (first or last) starts with E
8* read a book with the word "neon" in the text (I have a book for this, but would prefer to use it for another task)
12* read a book with a character who smokes
15*: read a book with "leg warmers" in the text or on the cover
Here are somebook options for this task
16*: read a book where someone goes to the cinema
19*: read a book with a character who goes to the hairdresser or stylist
B17*: read a book with a fabulous dress on the cover
B18*: read a book with a same-sex relationship
B19*: read a book with a character who goes out dancing or clubbing
B20*: read a book with a character who works late into the night
Lorna, you put it for task character goes to school
No worries.I guess, there will be some moving around of books anyway. :) Do just list smoking as an alternative task when you finish.

And now for something completely different: I see that the Tower Teams are up!
Which Team have you landed? :)
I am Team Sam Vimes (Commander of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch :)
I have several books I've read in the past few days - I'll get them posted tonight along with any mini challenge tasks they work for.
I just saw that you are on Team The Luggage. How nice!When I miss you, I'll just jump over for a quick chat and you will also be welcome to drop by. :) This we can do. TT is a being-social challenge. :)
I see that Barbara and Alma are also in a team (Moist von Lipwig, such afun character), so I am going to drop by as well as by SandyL's team (The Librarian). I am glad you'll be all playing. :)
it's exciting I can't wait for it to start!!!! glad I'm on a team with some of you.... will miss the rest of Bowie's bandwagon though!!!!
It's very nice to have you Lorna and I am glad UNO helped you feel a bit better!
Wow, it's been days since I was able to post. Sorry everyone! I'm excited to see the Tower Teams are posted and so happy to be with Laura and Lorna in the next challenge! I finished a book the last couple of days, which is a color cover too. I'll put it in the sheet, but it's
. And I finished after the start of the mini challenge, so I'll see what it can fit for. And I started a couple of new books the last couple of days. I had sinus surgery earlier in the week and took a couple of days off work and hoped I'd be able to read during my days off...no luck. My head hurt so bad that I couldn't focus. But I'm feeling better now so hopefully I can get back on a roll!
