Last comment I swear! I have been in meetings all morning so lot's of sitting in my chair and pretending to pay attention until I am called on. I have
that is pretty short that I could fit in for a Reverse card if you guys want. Let me know or if anyone else can fill it, I can shelve it for next month.

I may have started a kindle unlimited free trail for 30 days to get it haha! I had nothing physically on my shelves that could work either
Ooh. Ring Shout is really good. I got the free trial of KU a few years ago, and I use it all the time for challenges. And for non-challenges. Money well spent.
Would Ring Shout also work for the white hat prompt?
The countdown to the end of this round and the beginning of the last is up in message 6.
Angela wrote: "Would Ring Shout also work for the white hat prompt?"Ooh. good question. Let me go ask the other captains.
The April cards are up, and we have a ton of color cover cards to find. There are also a lot of Draw 2s, so remember to check when you are putting your books on the spreadsheet whether they will work for two cards in a hand that has a Draw 2.Feel free to start grabbing up color cards and Wild Draw 4 cards, and reverses for next month.
We have about a week left in the March round.
Angela wrote: "Would Ring Shout also work for the white hat prompt?"Consensus on using a hood as a white hat is...wait for it...no.
Made for some astonished responses though.
Hood: a covering for the head and neck with an opening for the face, typically forming part of a coat or sweatshirt.Hat: a shaped covering for the head worn for warmth, as a fashion item, or as part of a uniform.
I thought it would work based on that! Shucks!
Still a book worth reading though.I am ploughing through the Detroit book, which is a hockey romance. Not my cup of tea, but it does make me want to go to a hockey game again.

ohhhh....which book is that?
I've got 7 blue:VC Andrews - All That Glitters - Author first name (V - Virginia) & the book is blue
I just grabbed the 7 Blue for a WD4 card yesterday, but I haven't finished the book yet, so if you want to grab it instead, feel free. Line 16 in hand 2.
Do you guys think the fur hat is white enough? 
Not sure it will be accepted...the top on the tree is more white than the hat, so someone might comment on that... :/
Yeah, I was looking for one that wasn't cowboy romance. Oh well.
The only two unclaimed tasks for the mini are 6. Read a book with a white suit or white hat on the cover
18. Read a book with diamond jewellery on the cover
Do any of you have books that will fit? Or are you willing to take on a short KU book?
I grabbed two more tasks today, and am listening to short audiobooks to cover them.
I can do white hat...does this type of hat apply?
Finished to Dance Again- if anyone can tell me what laughter like tingling raindrops actually sounds like it would be much appreciated :D it was cute though! I can pick up the diamond jewelry prompt for mini challenge if no one has claimed ?
Yes please!I keep looking for a diamond book and run into ones I really don't want to read.
Don't you love books where the author tries really hard to write brilliant imagery, only to wonder what their frames of reference are?

No worries, found a Jane Austen modern retelling with a diamond ring on the front!
Honestly if I heard anyone with a laugh like tingling rain, it would be rather creepy.
Happy Sunday everyone!We have just a few days left in this round, and you guys have been amazing. Every card and mini task is claimed, and most are done.
Here is the list of claimed but not yet finished books for the main hand and the mini. Check it over, and if you know you won't finish a book this round, then please release the spot and drop a note here.
The only card that I can't find a replacement for from extra books read so far or from the mini books (if needed) is the 1 Yellow.
Katie- The Prophets
Ilsen- The Dew Breaker, Children of Blood and Bone
Amanda- The Gilded Ones
Phez- After Ever Happy, The Unhoneymooners
AngelaSc- Force of Nature
AngelaSn- One Last Lie, All that Glitters
Mini-
AngelaSc- That Forever Girl, Force of Nature (also on main hand)
Nicole- Leopard Moon
Dawn- Eligible
Ilsen- Children of Blood...(also on main hand)
Alla- Today Tonight Tomorrow
Jenny- Daughter of Time
I will finish my last book for the mini in the next couple of days.
Also, Phoenix had a few clouds yesterday, but alas, no tingling raindrops. I so wanted to see what that sounded like.
Off to start work on the oh so important NYT crossword, and have more coffee. Sundays. Even if it isn't football season yet, I like them.
I've started my mini book so it will be finished :)
Oh my god. I just happened upon these books on KU. Do you think that perhaps the author played UNO?
It's been heavily raining here going on two days now. Yesterday was pretty busy with projects around the house. I will finish up Force of Nature today and start That Forever Girl. I will definitely be finished by Wednesday.
please do keep me updated with the tingling raindrops! we have had heavy rain but I have not yet heard someone's laugh described like a heavy downpour. On track to finish my mini challenge book :)
That author was definitely an UNO captain, writing books just to help future teams
Thanks for the updates so far. It gives us a good idea as to whether we need to move some books around on the spreadsheet so the more notice you can give us as to whether you'll be able to finish the book by the end of this month, makes it easier for us and less of a mad scramble to get it moved around!Echoing Jenny, if the following could let us know whether they'll be able to finish their books we'd really appreciate it :)
Katie- The Prophets
Ilsen- The Dew Breaker, Children of Blood and Bone
Amanda- The Gilded Ones
Phez- After Ever Happy, The Unhoneymooners
AngelaSn- All that Glitters
Mini-
AngelaSc- That Forever Girl
Nicole- Leopard Moon
Ilsen- Children of Blood
Jenny- Daughter of Time
We're also still struggling for a '1 yellow' any one able to read anything for that?
It looks like Phez is reading for the 1 Yellow. Just let us know if you can't get it done in time, as that will be the hardest to cover.Thanks all.
I’m planning on finishing Children of Blood and Bone today and the Dew Breaker, I will finish this week as I need to finish it for school!
How is Children of Blood and Bone? I keep almost-ing that one. Yes, I am sure that almost-ing is a word. shut up.
It’s pretty good. I hate the romance between the two main characters though and it’s definitely not the best fantasy ever like everyone kept hyping it up to be
I will be finished. I also have another yellow book I’m reading in April. 5th book in a series too. So I call dibs on one yellow that will hopefully work!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Oh you will be able to use your next yellow book too!I clicked on the link, and realized that I have not had enough coffee yet, as the title blurred into before after 5. Which made no sense to me, until I realized it was a series. Coffee. Now.
I will certainly b done by the end of April. Unless you mean the end of Mar. I can be done by the end of March.
Angela, if you can finish the book you have on the March hand by the end if March, that would be great!If you can't, no problem, just let us know, and you can use it for April.
I've just updated the spreadsheet- it's looking good, just a couple more to go!Katie could you add the date read to The Prophets please so that I can fill that in on the spreadsheet?
I´ve started to read for April since everything is covered.Will make sure to not finish any until new round has started.
We can start reading as long as we don´t finish before starting time, right?
Gilded Ones is finished! Whew, I was cutting it close. Hope everyone is doing good!!
Is this blue enough (or at all) to use?
Nineteen and a half hours left to finish your March books and mark them as read on your shelves.Nineteen and a half hours until you can finish the last few pages of books you are saving for the April hand!
Well done everyone. We only have a few books outstanding, and it looks like we will finish.
So what does that mean last few pages saving for April?
It just means that if someone started a book that wasn't going to fit on the March cards, it can work for April as long as it is finished in April. Some of us have started books for April already. Overachievers all.
