This is still showing up as "currently reading" on my end -- can you confirm it's marked "read" for you? (It may be that Goodreads needs a few minutes to update -- you just happened to post this right as I was about done updating the spreadsheet so I checked it right away :-P)

In addition to your normal post with fitting cards, please post books with the task you claimed for that book (if you claimed one) as well as any other potential tasks your book could work for, in case I need to switch some around at the end.
Happy reading!

Hmm. I guess it depends if the money actually becomes his? If he could go back to "rags" at any moment, I'd say probably not. But if he independently becomes wealthy, say through financial gifts from the millionaire or marriage, then I believe it could work.

Yes... I am thinking of doing my weekly update tomorrow instead of today like I usually do on Sundays, since tomorrow will be kind of a halfway point... so I will make sure to have an updated list of the unclaimed ones tomorrow!

Mini: #25 Character is Royalty (MC Prince Roland)
Has anyone managed to find a book with Meg Ryans hair mentioned .I know with some devices you can make searches in all of your books ..i cant ☹
Additional guidance for 22-24 on the captains thread. task 22 should be a clue for the song title
task 23 - how they were wearing their hair in the video
24 - the name of the band/singer
Also confirmed that Meg Ryan isn’t part of the clue, just an extra bit.
Janine, that makes me think you were on the right track with this one!
Edited to add: the further I read they said it was “outside the box” associations — so I definitely think yours is right.
Copying and pasting from Captains thread again:task 1 - name of the band
task 2 - title of the song
task 3 - reference to the singer
The lead singer of the Bank Janeylou suggested for the first one has the last name of one of the Greek gods.

u all r good! I don't even have a guess:(
That’s true, either way it has mythology! So all the clues do fit. I’d just never heard of that song! 🤣 but it definitely seems like it’s right from the clues!
I guess I can reverse it then, Janeylou. I loved the first book! I just have to find a Mini challenge category for the second one so that I can keep going.

Dont suppose you have any clues for 31 ..the first clue still bugging me
Is it worth sending off what we got and seeing which are right then concentrating on those that are wrong / if wrong Hiw many sugguestions have you had sent in

I believe about 3 of you have sent in suggestions. But I do think between all of us we might have a full list! I need to compile everyone's answers and see what we have -- then I'm planning to send a full list of our guesses to those of you who have been guessing to see if we all agree before submitting the first round of guesses to the mods! I will probably pull that list together later tonight/tomorrow. Need to finish updating who has what tasks and our spreadsheet and get my weekly update out there still today, so I'm thinking I might push the list compilation till tomorrow.
Here is the list of currently unclaimed tasks. If you'd like any of these, or if you claimed one and I missed it, let me know!Tasks

Ha! For some reason I had your name on that one. But I just went through the comments and you didn't claim it, so I'm not sure how I did that! I'm guessing I just copied/pasted into the wrong place when I was adding names to tasks in this post
It's been added back in now!
