Note about 23, the permed hair and Meg Ryan books can be two different books. "hair like Meg Ryan's" does need to be in one of the 45 books we read for the mini to get credit for it. 23. Read a book where a character has permed hair/gets their hair permed (extra 5 points for if you find "hair like Meg Ryan's" in the text ;)

Annalisa, I'll be finishing my blue book tonight. As for red 7, I went to Barnes & Noble but couldn't find a red 7 that worked for the life of me so if someone else can take that, it'd be great. I have a ton of books I'll finish prior to the end of March but they won't be for red 7. So sorry! I truly tried.
That’s fine. I’m sure I can find something if someone else can’t.
I will take it. I am almost done with my red 7 and I found several options for it anyway, so I can do another one
Thanks guys! Teamwork makes the dream work!

Are you actually claiming those books or are you just trying to help? :D
Also, does Iceland count as Scandinavia for this challenge?
Maddy wrote: "Are you actually claiming those books or are you just trying to help? :D"Komal is trying to help. If someone want to claim a task I hope they will mark it with their name. Otherwise I'm going to say helping.
Maddy wrote: "Also, does Iceland count as Scandinavia for this challenge?"For Scandinavia: Iceland, Greenland, Faroe Islands & Finland will also be accepted besides Denmark/Norway/Sweden.
So if I have a book set in Iceland, then I can still read it? Even though there are Sweden lists?

Oh, thank you! :)
I added a suggestion column to the SS for the mini. We should try and find a book that has “hair like Meg Ryan” that someone wants to read. It doesn’t have to work for the permed hair as long as it fits one of the other tasks.
I requested an audio of that book you noted, we will see if they pull through. they usually post it in 24 hours if they have it. I haven't checked yet if it has been delivered
I’ve requested an audiobook that should work as well, but I’m number 13 on the list for it, so I doubt I’ll get it in time. Komal had another book that might work as well. The book I have a hold on might work for detective fiction as well as the Meg Ryan hair.
hm, I just checked and it is not posted yet. But since I requested it yesterday, I am not really surprised :D
Okay, found a different book, already on audio for Meg Ryan. Want me to read it?
Sure, if it isn’t absolutely horrible.
Posted in SS a link to book, sounds fine, might also work for Detective fiction
Go for it. Are there any of the tasks not claimed that you don’t want to read for? I’m going to be looking for a new audiobook.
the MPG travel task. I am pretty sure I can find something for all others, but I really don't want that one
