I believe that Porto Rico would work based on the way the rules were explained. However, none of the book could take place in the USA.

First one black.
Second one I'm on the fence.
SS updated to here.I'm going to be traveling so I'll be on my phone to answer questions but won't be updating the SS while I'm gone. Insiyah can also help. I'll be back next weekend. I hope everyone has a great week. This mini is a little more challenging but I find that fun.

Sorry I forgot it was a red 2
Can we use audiobook narrators? I remember there was a rule last year that we can't use them. But I saw one of the teams this year used names of narrators. Did the rule change?

UpdatedDebra, the rule for children's books states that unless their wordcount is above 25,000 or audio above 3 hours on a reputed site, we cannot use it.
Dänah, is there a character in the book with a W or an X? I can use it for Q for the place, but could also use another character.

This can be grey cover too :)
Alyana, I don't think it can. Keep in mind for full covers that they need to be at least 50% of the colour.

SS updated to hereI've moved things around a bit. For the mini we need to focus on the paintings, countries, and Q books.

I'm finishing another Meghan Quinn book today and have one more to read tomorrow. They are both noted on the SS. I'm finishing Kiss and Don't Tell.
For countries I have the two Lucy Foley novels on the SS.
I think I have two books for paintings. I need to check my Book of the Month shelf.
I'm in a bit of a reading slow down. My son had a really rough week with anxiety and panic attacks. Tuesday he had a severe panic attack outside of his pediatrician's office that wound up with us being a 911 call. We've been in an out of drs offices the rest of the week checking on his lungs and seeing therapists. I'm exhausted. I'm taking today to disconnect and see friends and get as much sleep as I can. Tomorrow I'll start reading again.

I've moved things around on the official SS here is what I think our plan should be to get the most points. I hope this is alright with everyone. Kristen this is similar to what you started. Please let me know if you have any questions or you can cover one of the books. I will work on getting everything updated more tomorrow. I'll be without my personal computer from Monday to Friday as I'm traveling for work. I'll be checking in from my phone if you have questions.
