Ops! you're right.

Good news everyone.

With Jodi's books and one more log from Poongothai we completed all our hands!

Also three more books were logged in the mini, it seems we might be able to finish it too. One of the books recently logged filled the 350 pages task.

So, we still have 2 pixie books to use. From the ones pending I found for:

Thriller - The Perfect Daughter
Fabulous dress - Pride and Prejudice
Bad ass - Ready Player One

To everyone that has a pending book on the mini, please confirm if you would finish or maybe we'll have to look for a substitute from pixie. There's only one task left to fill (something with R). Brittany if you are still looking, look for R's ;). Lets finish 'em all!

[Felicity]

I should be able to finish my pending book by Friday. I just finished The Push which I stretched to fill in the category "Character who has to get up early" because it is about mothers and several get up early for their children. (Some don't and that was one of the creepy things about this book. It was so good!)

[Alejandra]

I might finish one with a character named Robert by Friday

[Elena]

I will finish my book by Friday

[Vivi]

I'll finish my book by Friday, too.

[Lynne]

I’m almost done with B17 (fabulous dress) and halfway through 32A (other team’s movie tie-in). I won’t read a thriller since we can use a Pixie card for that one.
Is there a pixie card we can use for 19*? I have a book planned for it and can definitely get it done but I haven’t started reading it yet (unlike all of my others).

[Verónica]

ok Lynne, I used a Pixie for the Thriller. I asked if there is a book for 19 in the Pixie shelf, fingers crossed.

[Verónica]

Is this the book you were planning to read?

About the stylist task, I think I know how to solve it. I have Over the top in the shoulder pads task, but it fits in the hairdresser task, so I'm going to change that and use a pixie book that has shoulder pads to substitute. So yes, we can use our last pixie to fix that.

[Verónica]

We are very close to finish the mini.

Veronica:
8* read a book with the word "neon" in the text
13* read a book with a bad-ass character

Vivi:
11* read a book with a character who is a teacher

Elena :
B15*: read a book with a character who is a vampire

Felicity:
B16*: read a book with a character who is a detective or police officer

Lynne:
B17*: read a book with a fabulous dress on the cover
32a*: read a book that you can connect to another team's movie (be as creative as you wish)

Kaylee, your book The Only Good Indians has a character named Richard! We will use that for the R task.

[Felicity]

I just finished my book for the detective/police officer. If someone thinks they can't finish theirs on Veronica's list, I can probably find something I could read in the next 2 days. Let me know if anyone needs help. We did a great job on this challenge team!

Yay you are a genius! Thanks for working that out.

[Alejandra]

if needed I am reading a book with a character who is a vampire, will probably finish by tomorrow

[Verónica]

Four books away people!

11* read a book with a character who is a teacher - Vivi
13* read a book with a bad-ass character - Veronica
B15*: read a book with a character who is a vampire - Elena
32a*: read a book that you can connect to another team's movie (be as creative as you wish) - Lynne

I have 4hrs left of my audiobook, unless I manage to do an afternoon marathon, I'll probably update tomorrow.

Thanks Alejandra. If other team member has another book that fits any of the task left let us know, just in case.

[Felicity]

I am reading Before the Coffee Gets Cold which is about time travel so it would relate to the group Back to the Future. I will finish it tomorrow if Lynne doesn't get hers done.

[Elena]

I finished my last book

[Felicity]

I finished Before the Coffee Gets Cold.

[Kaylee]

Let’s go with Felicity’s book for 32a. I think I’ll finish mine but this way I don’t have to rush! Thanks y’all.

Done!

Vivi, how are you doing? Need back up?

[Verónica]

Ok hear me out. I think I can do another juggle with the cards to fill the teacher one, just in case Vivi needs it.

The book A Million Reasons Why read by Felicity fits the Thriller one. Now it's in the M, which can be filled by one the recent logs by Apoorva. This will liberate a Pixie card (this card was only used for the mini), and a couple of moves more we could fill the teacher task.

[Vivi]

Hi Team,

I'm still reading my book, but I'll finish it a few hours. There's 14 hours left in the Challenge (thank you for the countdown, BTW) so I'll finish in time.

Nice!

Wonderful job everyone! Great team work.

[Vivi]

Finished! Added the book to the spreadsheet.

Well done everyone! 🙂

[Kaylee]

Woo! Great job guys! I worked too much yesterday and didnt get the spread updated but it’ll get done. Thanks for being a great flexible team this year!

Thanks everybody for the effort and enthusiasm. It was lots of fun to participate in this dynamic. Now I have to go find some other tools to help me decide what to read LOL, that was very easy with this game.

It was a pleasure to meet you all. Hope the rest of 2021 brings you joy and peace.

[Vivi]

Well, it was fun while it lasted. I enjoyed playing with you all. Hope the rest of 2021 is good for you.

See you around here. 🙂

[Felicity]

I enjoyed this challenge too. Hope to see you all in another challenge sometime.

[Lynne]

Good job, everyone!!
