Ashley, I'm going to change The Testaments to a Blue 1. There is a character named Offred, and no one has claimed it yet, but Maddy read a book that will work for a Blue 2. I hope that doesn't cause problems for you. If it does just let me know and I'll read a book that will work for a Blue 1.
We are making pretty good progress on all of our cards for the month. Here is an update on the color cards for the month. As of right now I have a hold on a book that will work for the Green 8 but I don't know when I will get it, so if someone else wants to read for it please do.March Color Cards
1 Blue - Ashley
5 Blue - Shannon (this also works for one of our WD4 because of a draw 2 in that hand)

Spread Sheet Updated to HereNote: The Mystery of Three Quarters (The New Hercule Poirot Mysteries, #3). would probably work for a Blue 5 if needed. I'm not sure if it is blue enough but could check if necessary.
◈ Books used for this mini challenge do not need to be separate books for what you are claiming for your UNO handsThey do not need to be separate books. But can they be?

Yes, they could be different. If we finish our hands before we finish the mini they would be separate.
Shouldn't we give you our guesses in private so we don't help other teams ? :D I know one song already :D

For now yes, you can message me your guesses.

I'm half way done with my second book for this month. This read and the last took awhile to get into. Hopefully once I move on to the next I'll get my flow back!
Also, Offred hasn't come up in this book. At least not yet. Maybe she will at the very end so if she does id be fine with Blue 1.

Yes, please feel free to claim tasks.
I will wait for others to claim tasks. I am faster so I can cover what is left, just wanted this one because there is a book I have been wanting to read :D
Not on the team as far as I know, but I can post in Captain’s chat and there are a few there.
For the mini this time, how about we have a separate SS and don't make it public till 31-Mar. I have noticed few other teams doing this way!All of us can have Write access on this new SS. this way we can claim books and guess Albums.

I’ve been keeping a google doc with the guesses. When I’m back on my PC after work I can link it.
If you want to claim a book I think it is probably easier to list that in the group chat so that we all know. I’ll also update the list of tasks and I can put it on the official SS.

So I've created an SS for the team. I'm going to email everyone a link so you have editing rights and don't have to request access to it. You can also claim books if you want or you can claim tasks here. Some people do not use the SS so if you don't and you have a guess for one of the songs and artists please message me.

I'm currently reading a book with more than 500 pages so I will take that task.
Can you ask about this one? 31. Read a book with MPG Detective Fiction
Does it have to be together or will it work if it is MPG Fiction and MPG detective.
Because I have seen a lot of Crime -> Detective, but no Detective fiction
Someone already asked about that earlier today. It can be detective or mystery-detective. Doesn’t have to be exact detective-fiction.
