Also, acc to rules 50% of cover should be the colour for colour cards and I checked the book is 64% yellow.

Yes, I’ve heard a lot of good things about The Unhoneymooners!

I can read them all :)

Those will both work Anubha.

I'm sorry it doesn't look yellow, it looks beige to the captains. If you can find a GR cover that looks more yellow, let me know.

Anubha (BooksFullOfLife, LifeFullOfBooks) (anubhaghoshal) Its okay, it was yellow according to tin eye. But anyway, Across the Green Grass Fields (Wayward Children, #6) by Seanan McGuire
Does this work for 6 green? If yes can you please remove 1 yellow and put this instead? This one has been on my tbr for such a long while and I will be reading it this month, might as well include it in the challenge if possible.


message 307: by Allison Ann (new)

Allison Ann | 1245 comments How funny, my tineye says it was pink, it also says this cover is grey, but it looks green so you can use it. I'll change your selection.


message 308: by Allison Ann (new)

Allison Ann | 1245 comments Here's our COUNTDOWN until we can count our March cards. You can start books now, as long as you don't finish them for about 4 days and 15 hours. :D

We need about 6 more books for the mini and the one last green for our regular hands. Anyone reading something they think will work? We've done a great job finishing this month and that bodes well for March when we'll need 13 more books. :D

Certainly the Kentuckians. Optimistic about Mendelssohn. I don’t work Friday-Sunday, so I feel good about them.

Allison Ann | 1245 comments Two days and 18 hours until we can count our March cards. Anyone have a book(s) they are holding off on finishing until then?

message 330: by Allison Ann (new)

Allison Ann | 1245 comments Well team, that's it, we have finished all our cards, all the mini-challenge. 2780 points for the month. Not a great score unfortunately, but that's the luck of the cards. March gave us a better deal, so we will hopefully creep up the final list. Have a lovely weekend of reading or not and we'll start counting our new books in 2 days, 8 hours and 30 minutes! Great work! Thank you all!


message 331: by Allison Ann (new)

Allison Ann | 1245 comments Six hours until the start of our new month. I'm going to actually try to sleep past 3 a.m., so I'll see you all in the morning. Happy end of February team!
