Diane wrote: "Finally found a book for #13 -- characters come out of a book. Do you think Libriomancer qualifies?"I would think so. Just make sure you specify which characters (from the description it sounds like vampires, so if you don't have a name for them just "vampires" would probably suffice) and the book from which they came!
Diane, the book im reading happens to be a cinderdella one, so dont know whether you want to use yours for guitar on cover and takes away the one Em was going to read ??
Of course, they can put it anywhere it fits!
Diane , scrap my suggiestion , although in the blurb it says cinderfella, Georgie.is a pot washer and falls, for Roland that is as far as it goes ..there are no riches mentioned so it wont count ..sorry
Can you believe im reading yet another book with twins, i thought that would be really hard ..but obviously not 😄
Actually I am pretty sure one of mine had twins in it too!

Also, did we ever figure out if you were covering that task instead of Emilienne? I remember you saying you were checking.

Think Em going to stick with it Kaley , but at least we know that if it doesnt work out for her (over 400 pgs) we've got alternatives to use

Ok, sounds good! I’ll keep that book of yours as shapeshifter then
**TEAM SPREADSHEET UPDATED THROUGH HERE**
I'm compiling the list to send for guesses for songs/artists now. Those of you who have messaged me your guesses, I will be messaging you the list I've compiled between all of us.If you haven't guessed yet but you want to do so, please send your guesses over to me within the next 24 hours. I want to send the list to Pixie by tomorrow so that if we have any that are wrong we have a few more days to brainstorm.
Thanks!
Has anyone found the Meg Ryan quote yet ?
Janeylou wrote: "Has anyone found the Meg Ryan quote yet ?"I haven't. I went deep searching a book yesterday where I knew a character had a perm too just to see (the Kindle book didn't have search enabled so I had to read several pages when they talked about this character's hair just in case) and nothing!
I have checked a few other teams' spreadsheets to see if anyone has claimed the bonus yet, but none have. Then again, those who have found it may be keeping it off their spreadsheets for now for that very reason.
I believe a few people in the captains group had mentioned finding one (but didn't list the book) so I could probably deep dive if I figured out what team they are on and therefore see what books they're reading, but I haven't done that yet because it sounds quite time-consuming! I will though if I get desperate enough!
If all else fails, I can just read the book I mentioned earlier and get the task out of the way and just forego the bonus points...but it'd be so lovely to find the reference and get those bonus points!

By the way, Janeylou, I quite enjoyed the Mythology book I read. It's the first of a series, and I would definitely read more of them at some point.

18. Read a book with diamond jewellery on the coverCan this just be a diamond on its own, if so ive got one but if it needs to be ring/necklace then im going to struggle finding one
Someone asked about just a big diamond in the captains group and the ruling was “go for it” — so it sounds like that should probably work. For reference, the book asked about was
So if it’s similar I’d say it should work per that ruling.
Yes it is similar
Im all on schedule to finish all my books , are we ok for finishing all 30 tasks ..ive got a bit lost 😄😄
There are 45 🤣 but I think most of them have been claimed. There are a few unclaimed. I don’t have access to my computer until later today but once I do I’ll go through and double check any additional ones that have been claimed and post an update about which ones we still need. We also should be pretty close to finishing our regular hands, so I’ll update about that as well. We only had about two hands worth of books left after my last update, so we might be there — if not we are very close.

This and Blind Tiger are showing up as "currently reading" to me -- can you please check that?
**TEAM SPREADSHEET UPDATED THROUGH HERE**
Aside from our outstanding color cards (4 Blue for megan and 3 Red/5 Red for Janine), our hands are done.
For the rest of March, you no longer need to post books finished that aren't those color covers or that do not fit for the mini challenge.
You have all seriously kicked butt this month. I've never had hands done this early!
Here is the updated task list.Unfinished Tasks
4. Read a book where a character is involved with a criminal organisation --Emilienne
8. Read a book with a black leather jacket on the cover --Janine
13. Read a book where a character from a book ends up in real life or where a real life character gets transported into a book --Diane
14. Read a book set in Scandinavia --Franziska
15. Read a book featuring a music band in the plot --Janine
16. Read a book with a pink dress on the cover/with a pink (more than 50%) cover --Kaley
18. Read a book with diamond jewellery on the cover --Janine
23. Read a book where a character has permed hair/gets their hair permed (extra 5 points for if you find "hair like Meg Ryan's" in the text ;)
24. Read a book with a space shuttle on the cover / with MPG "Space"--megan
27. Read a book where a character plays the guitar/with a guitar on the cover --Emilienne
32. Read a book with the word "air" in the title/series title --Janine
36. Read a book with MPG Travel --Diane
39. Read a book set in Wales/with a character from Wales --Emilienne
41. Read a book where the MCs are twins or the MC has a twin brother/sister --Emilienne
I'd really appreciate if anyone who knows they have a claimed task (or several) could make sure I have them down for the right things! It's been a lot of back and forth with this one so I just want to make sure.
The only one we still have unclaimed is the perm / Meg Ryan one. I do have a book that will fit for perm, but no Meg Ryan reference. I'm going to try to do some more digging over the next day or so and find one that can get the bonus too. Hopefully I can find it.
If anyone finds a reference to someone having hair like Meg Ryan's in the remaining task books, please let me know! A reference to "hair like Meg Ryan's" can be in any of the mini task books in order to get the bonus points. It doesn't have to be for the perm task.
