Sorry, was busy this week and couldn't reply to any messages. Just checked the mini-challenge. I'll finish up a few books on chess then!

[Kaylee]

Okay so elena still reads joy luck club and veronica can read verity? Is that the plan? :D

Yeah I will read Verity. I'll add to the spreadsheet.

[Felicity]

So, I will not reread The Joy Luck Club but I did order it from my library so if Elena can not get to it, I will. Just let me know by the 21st if I need to read it.

I haven't looked for The Joy Luck Club yet, so it is ok for me if you reread it. I will find another book for the mini challenge.

[Lynne]

I am actually reading Voyager right now and will be done tonight or tomorrow, so that can be our Green 7.

I don't see where we ever needed a Green 7. What we still need is a Green 9. Am I missing something?

I'm guessing it's for our March challenge?!

[Kaylee]

OMG yall are right its a green 9. Im dumb

[Kaylee]

Does anybody have anything for a green 9? lol im sorry

Hi Kaylee! I am currently reading - is that a green cover? Sorry, I am not the best with colours :)

[Verónica]

Ok, so I'll save Verity for later. I'll see if I can find a green 9. Maybe Voyager has something with N, a character or place? It could still work. Green covers seem hard to get by.

I did see it, but I was guessing it was for March. 😂 Well, it happens... We'll work it out.

Hi Navi, according to TinEye that book is mostly blue... Sorry.

Voyager can still work. There is a character named Ned.

Yay! 🎉 😊

[Elena]

I am reading Spellsinger next as it works for Draw 2

[Felicity]

Do we have our March cards yet? If not, when will we get them. I'm holding back some books.

[Vivi]

Finished Written with You. It's updated on the spreadsheet and in my uno shelf. Will count for the mini-challenge.

Started reading Spark, will count for the mini-challenge too, as it has a red cover.

[Jodi]

If we read or start a book in Feb can it only be used for February hands? Or is it by finish date? Do we need anything else for February I could help with ?

I think it's by finish date. Books started and finished in February can only be used in February; while books started in February but finished in March can be used in March.

In the Spreadsheet we can see more or less what we need of cards... There's a tab called 'copy of official feb board', when it is updated we will be able to see what cards are left..

[Brittany]

Hi everyone so glad to be able to join in.

[Kaylee]

Welcome Brittany!

[Felicity]

Welcome Brittany! I sent you a friend request so we can all see each other's shelves. Happy Reading!

[Brittany]

Thanks, glad to be here!r

[Elena]

For the mini-challenge, I am going to read either The Sleeping Doll (the same rating as the Joy Luck Club, 3.94) or The Warning (the same rating & female author)

[Felicity]

I am reading The Joy Luck Club and should have it done by the first of the week so we can cross it off our mini challenge. I am finding that any book I read can relate to our book if you think about it. Right now I am also reading The Echo Wife which is about a woman and her clone involved in a crime and The Joy Luck Club has twins as characters so that relates to the twin aspect in The Echo Wife.

[Alejandra]

Im reading “the kitchen God’s wife”, which is by the same author of the joy lick club.

[Felicity]

Hi Kaylee,

With just a week left to this month, are you going to give us an update on what books we need to fill remaining cards? I am reading books now but could adjust what I am reading to fill holes. I can probably read another 3 or 4 books. I also wondered if everyone in our team is still playing? I've heard from other groups that sometimes people drop out and don't tell anyone. Just wondered with some of the players that haven't posted any books.

[Brittany]

I just need to be let in to spreadsheet so I can add mine.

I think you have to post your email here, so Kaylee can add your email/you so you can have access to the spreadsheet.

[Kaylee]

I’ll get an update to you guys sometime today:))) also the link in my first message with our spreadsheet is editable by everyone so you should be ok. Send me your gmail if youre having problems

[Vivi]

Also, The spreadsheet were using/editing is the collaborative spreadsheet - the link is here, in message 6.

[Felicity]

FYI- The March cards have been posted. I found them on the original cards google sheet. I'm glad I held back some red books because we'll need some in March.

[Elena]

@Felicity Thank you! I've just checked them. I am glad I decided not to read the book with the blue cover (One Hundred Names) this month. It is suitable for 0 Blue and it will be the first book I'm going to read in March

[Vivi]

So, I'm gonna leave my current book to be finished in March. It's this one:



Will fit any of the red cards we need - red 2, red 4 or red 6.

Will read for now...

[Felicity]

@Elena- That's great! One of my red books would work for a 4 or a 6 red, both of which we need.

[Felicity]

This is the red book I was talking about: Moonflower Murders

[Felicity]

@Vivi- How do you add a book's cover to your post? I tried and it just gives the link.

[Felicity]

Trying again.

[Elena]

seems great, I've added it and the first in the series to my TBR list :)

[Vivi]

Felicity wrote: "@Vivi- How do you add a book's cover to your post? I tried and it just gives the link."

Seems you worked it out :)

[Felicity]

@Lynne- I have a question. I belong to a book club that is going to be picking our books for the year this week. I was planning to suggest The Book of Lost Friends and noticed you had read it. Then I noticed you read Miss Benson's Beetle which has been on my TBR list. Would your recommend both these books as good for discussions?

[Felicity]

@Elena- I really enjoyed The Magpie Murders.

[Kaylee]

hey yall; working on the spreadsheet now to get an update to you guys. so far I know that we still need one more wild draw 4 card; so any book that could fit a

1 Yellow
9 Green
7 Blue
4 Green
5 Yellow

anybody have anything on the plate they can use? Elena and Veronica have stuff on the board that could potentially work if they can still get to them this week, but obviously anybody could do it.

You can count on 7 Blue, I'll probably finish Addie LaRue in a couple of days, it's pretty good!

[Kaylee]

Awesome thank you! Ive heard that its amazing and was thinking about picking that one up !! let me know what you think when you're done :D

[Kaylee]

Can everyone take a moment to make sure that the books that they've read since the 14th have been put on the mini when you get a chance? Be creative; every book can fit in some way ;)
