How does this work for a nine? I see it for 0, 2, and 4. It is nonfiction so that limits things a little.

Title has N.
The Myth of the Nice Girl
is it not valid?

Do they count?"
Yes, they can count. If there are multiple authors, use the ones good reads lists. If there is an editor use that instead of authors.

It has to start with an N to count. You can drop articles (A/An/The) but otherwise needs to be the first word in the title.
Okay, thanks. In that case, I will read it and it has letters E, N, O, P, F, S, T, V

Maddy you said to assign a color cover to you. I hope you don't mind I'm taking you at your word on this. Will you read for a Red 7 and Yellow 3? If you come across a book that works for one of the other color cards that strikes your fancy please read that instead.

We have one more book for the month. Is anyone for sure going to finish their book in the next 18 hours? Here is the timer for March again. Please let us know if you are.https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...
I haven’t put anything into the sheet yet, but we have a wild that works for a 7 or 4, a 2, a 6, and a skip left. I can always move things around to make it work though.
Okay, then the Vampire's kiss. V-title, N - character, E - character, S - character, 2 in series
sure ;)Also, what if I can't hold off and finish something else before the timer goes out? :D
I will try of course, but 17 hours is lot of time :D
So what happens with extra books? they don't count?
Extra books won't count.Each month we are going to have more books.
Okay, makes sense. The last book in about 2 hours ;)

Is this yellow enough?
Maddy wrote: "Is this yellow enough? "Yes, I think so. I do think it is a little funny that the cover is yellow and the title has blue in it. Makes me wonder why.
So did I actually :D I have no clue.. To be contrary? From the title I also expected blue cover, but got a yellow one instead :D

I can always move books around. We have one book as a 7 that I can definitely move, as I’d feel better having it as a different card.
