Team Who Framed Roger Rabbit

[Allison Ann]

I have claimed a few tasks for the mini. I've been saving up books to finish for the last 2 days, so I should have a few for the first day. Feel free to claim some books of your own, and if the book works for more than one task, please note that too.

Any preference on the A or B stream for 31 - 38?

[Allison Ann]

Also, we are almost at the end of our second week. Could everyone please check in and let us know you're still reading. Thanks very much. Hope everyone is having an awesome April.

I am currently reading a book that works for last in a series. If Jessamine is still planning to read Ready Player One and Ready Player Two, then I'm thinking we have stream B pretty well taken care of. Sci-Fi/Fantasy and a villain should be very easy for you all to find. So perhaps we should take that direction at the end?

I'm still planning to read them. I'm reading right now :) Stream B seems good to me.

Also, sorry, I've been absent all week. I had a slow reading week, but I should get some books finished tomorrow.

[Allison Ann]

No worries Jessamine, glad you're okay, just busy. :D

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

I just finished which works for 6 Red (character Selma) the question is am I too early for the mini ???????

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Yay, I just finished after the countdown so lets see where i can use it :-)

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Allison Ann wrote: "I am currently reading a book that works for last in a series. If Jessamine is still planning to read Ready Player One and Ready Player Two, then I'm thinking we have..."

The way I read it is that we need to complete stream A to get the 30 point completion bonus along with task points and B stream is optional and we get points per task

though I am I think we should aim to complete all of it for maximum points LOL

[Lindsay]

Sorry I’ve been so busy - moving houses so haven’t had much time. I have time this weekend so I’ll read through everything and try pick up some minis and colour books

Great and definitely works for the mini. Sounds like it has a villain and if nothing else, Fantasy MPG. :D Can you please add it to your UNO shelf when you get a chance. Thanks.

The A and B streams are the the 31A-38A or 31B-38B at the end of the list. We have to complete all of the regular numbers 1-38 to get the completion bonus. But we can get extra points for the B numbers also. And total is only 49 books, so I think we can get them all too. :D

Hope your move is done and went smoothly. I used to move all the time, but I've been here for almost 14 years now and I'm planning to stay forever. :D I do miss how much junk I used to get rid of with every move though.

[Jane]

I've not been reading the last few days but I've still got at least 12 more books to read this month (about half of them are under 200 pages) Also doing Deweys Read-a-Thon 24th - 25th of April where I should get a lot read.

I'm not sure I understand about the stream and what B7*:L
means but I'l let you know everything I can about my books as I read them.

I will rearrange the list to show which books we MUST read and which ones are optional. However, I think we will be able to finish all of them, so any books you want to claim go ahead.

The B numbers (ie. B7* L) work the same as our main cards - Title, Author, Character or Location must begin with the letter L.

Who is the villain please Lindsay?

[Allison Ann]

Nikk - Do you think you'll be able to read a book with a vampire and a book with a werewolf for the mini? You seem to read more fantasy than the rest of us. :D

[Allison Ann]

Jennifer - Do you think you could read a police office/detective book for the mini?

[Allison Ann]

Jane - Do you think someone might go to the movies in one of your romances?

[Allison Ann]

Have to work a bit now. I'll check everyone else's books later. :D

Please keep an eye on the first word in the text. We need one starting with E. Thanks!

I'm still reading! :) Finished a book today, over halfway done with an audiobook, and a short eyeball read underway with another in queue.

[Lindsay]

The villain is the Hesperians or the Vipress. There are kind of multiple.

And I’ll read Frankly in Love!

Are you still okay to read all your coloured covers? Lost interest in any?

I am currently reading a book with text starting with E and a book where the character gets up early.

Apparently Eleanor & Park has walkman in the text. Any of you YA readers interested?

I just read a book (and added it to the spreadsheet) with 147 pages, so that fits #23.
