I always thought this was purple at first glance but now I'm definitely seeing the pink -- especially in the letters! I think if a few more people agree then we can use it.

Dang! Sorry. Google Book had said this passage appeared: “By twelve years old, Drea carried herself with the confidence of a nighttime soap opera diva, a junior-high Joan Collins catwalking around the halls of Pineville Middle School in double-wide shoulder pads and starter heels.”
But of course no location listed on that site to give us any clues.
Darn. Well, we can figure out somewhere else to put this. I may just have to find some football player story to read. Those mention shoulder pads, right? 🤣 not the kind they’re probably talking about, but it didn’t say it couldn’t be footbal ones 🤣

Yeah, I say go for it. We have you, me, and Diane as a yes. Plus I held up a picture of it yesterday and asked my husband what color it was and he said "hot pink" so technically we have a fourth :-P

Thanks!!

Not anymore that we need I don’t think! We have a few 7s completed today, and I went back and double checked the tracking sheet I keep and there were several books at the very beginning of the month that worked for 7 and got placed as something else since we didn’t have many 7s in early hands — so with all that and those you’ve found today I think we’re good!
It’s usually 5s that are most difficult because of that elusive I (with 7s being second most difficult), but we managed to take care of 5s nicely this month!

Can you put above book Mr. Right Now into M ( B3 )

Then A Whole Latte Sass into school (9)

This will save me reading another school book
Kaley, just FYI, I changed the quote for the word headband, as I re-read the list and realized you had to show someone was wearing it, which the first quote I used did not. I'm glad it was used twice in the same book!

Task 2 published in 1980s
Originally publised 1981
Diane , i still need to find a book where he gets up early to work .....Detective Fox and the Christmas Caper has legwarmers in it
Im reading my Detective & E I G H T in the ttile today
And i have Better Than People on the go but not sure if it fits anywhere
Im sure Kaley will.update us in a bit as im totally confused again what we dtill need to do
You must've read my mind -- I was just thinking about the leg warmers task when I was driving this morning. According to some people in the captains group, leg warmers can also be found in the following:
The Vintage Summer Wedding
The Hero and the Hacktivist
Dancer, Daughter, Traitor, Spy
I haven't checked for myself, but I would assume they're being honest about it.
And i also found:
Death, Taxes, and Hot-Pink Leg Warmers (didn't check the text but the task says in text or on cover, and they're on the cover)
If anyone has "works late into the night" or a character who smokes, let me know. Janeylou claimed works late into the night, but since the book for that also worked for smoker, and smoker was a main task whereas works late was bonus, I used it for smoker. But if we have another smoker book I can move that to works late into the night which is what she read it for!
I'll update the spreadsheet here and then let everyone know what we still have open!
