I actually found a reference to a minor character wearing a headband in a book I am reading. It's the same book that has spandex, so if we find another instance of spandex we could possibly use it. I will make note of both in my post when I finish it.

[Kimberly~☆♡Love of Books♡☆]

I just read
This is not the jess show
and the word spandex is used. I added it to my post if needed.

[Kaley]

Perfect! I’ll use Kimber’s book for spandex and then we can use Diane’s for headband.

[Janeylou]

I think ive only got 1 more colour card to read ..0 Green

[Gwen]

I'm currently reading the book for 4 Blue (Word Freak) and I have requested the book for 3 Green (Hollow Kingdom) from the library. I agreed to read the book for 5 Yellow (Island Beneath the Sea) as well and I'm a little worried that I might not be able to complete all three books in the next two weeks.

Does anyone have a back-up book for either 3 Green or 5 Yellow? Just throwing this out there in case anyone can help out.

[Janeylou]

I can read for 3 green..Kaley said it would work before then i didnt need it

[Gwen]

That would help out a lot, Janine - if you have the time for it! Thank you so much for offering.

I *probably* could read all three that I've agreed to but April has been really slow reading-wise for me and I don't want to have to scramble or not finish for a colored card!

Kaley - can you make the switch?

[Diane]

Janeylou -- you can reverse Tempest by Lisa Henry. I have read it.

[Diane]

Thanks Diane ..i loved that series , Henry & Mac were so good together ..but i did cry when Remy was shot 😢😢😢

[Janeylou]

Actually Diane because its my colour card i don't think i can use for reverse ..

[Diane]

Oh yeah, the color card is a better use for it anyway.

[Kaley]

I can pick one up. Do you have a preference as to which one of those two you'd rather give up?

[Gwen]

Kaley wrote: "I can pick one up. Do you have a preference as to which one of those two you'd rather give up?"

Are you talking to me, Kaley? I'd be happy to give up either or both books (3 Green or 5 Yellow). Janeylou has offered to read a book for 3 Green but if you want to read one for 5 Yellow that could help me out as well. But no worries if you can't!

[Kaley]

Sigh. This is what I get for not hitting refresh before commenting!! Haha. (I loaded the page to work on updating the spreadsheet and hadn't hit refresh in a while).

So I'll switch the 3 Green over to her. I can take the 5 Yellow too then so you don't have to worry about it.

[Kaley]

**TEAM SPREADSHEET UPDATED THROUGH HERE**

[Janeylou]

Kaley..i thought Claiming Marcus which Diane read was going to work for ..connected to another team name..Lost Boys?

[Kaley]

Janeylou wrote: "Kaley..i thought Claiming Marcus which Diane read was going to work for ..connected to another team name..Lost Boys?"

You are correct! I didn't even realize it was that book. It has been fixed now :) Good catch, thank you!

[Janeylou]

I only say this because if you have another for "other team name"we could put Dianes in the vampire section

[Kaley]

Diane wrote: "I found a book I own whose title starts with the letter E -- Escort Three Tales of a Silver Fox . Would be happy to read it if that helps."

I don't think I ever responded to this -- but yes that would be great!

I don't have one set, but I'm sure we can easily find one if we need to.

We've got royalty, time travel, aliens, ghosts, teens, creatures -- we could twist a lot into fitting another team :)

So I can always move Diane's to vampires if we need to. Just let me know!

[Janeylou]

I keep forgetting to check the first letter of the book to see if its an E....will.recheck them all

[Gwen]

The book I just finished Inkheart has more than 500 pages and would work for the mini #30...

"Inkheart" also has a "bad-ass" character - the bad guy Capricorn for mini #13...

[megan]

Wow. There's really nothing left. I'll be able to cover the A with my current book, but it doesn't work for anything else. And it's NF so maybe a stand alone.

[Janeylou]

Megan im sure we can swap a few around 😁😁

[Diane]

I found a book which opens with the letter E. The Rancher's Son. "Chapter One... Ethan received the call..."

It's on my list of books to read.

[Kaley]

Yes -- I am keeping a list of everything each book works for -- so if we have an instance where someone reads a book (let's call it Book 2) that only fits for a specific task, but that's already been filled by Book 1, I can see what other tasks Book 1 fits for and move it to one of those, then put Book 2 in its place.

Shuffling is a very important component of UNO :-P
