Hi Annalisa, hope you're doing well now.
I do have a question though, for Hand 5, 2 card, One True Loves was entered twice, is that correct? And also, the other book that I just finished Dial A for Aunties was also misspelled on the ss, it's on Hand 8.

Alyana, One True Loves has been used for a Draw 2 card. Draw 2 allows 1 book to be used for two different cards, in this case 2 and 2. Dial A for Aunties has been fixed. Thanks for letting us know!

I think I shelved the wrong edition. The paperback ed is the one I got from the library and it's more purple I think. I was so sleepy last night when I posted my book and didn't even notice it was a different cover.

SS UPDATED TILL HERE
sorry, I just edited my completion post on Malibu Rising explaining how it fits for the mini
Jessica, your book can't be used for the mini because you finished it before the 15th; books for the Mini can only be used if they are completed after the 15th of the month.
Is anyone reading any of these books? I've already finished The Hunger Games, and I'm reading Wuthering Heights right now. We can't use Hitchhiker's since that's our team, but all the others are fair game. We need four more. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Alyana wrote: "Insiyah wrote: "Is anyone reading any of these books? I've already finished The Hunger Games, and I'm reading Wuthering Heights right now.

The document has the list of books whose titles were taken for team names; so for Team Panem Capitol, The Hunger Games series corresponds. So for Team Wardrobe Narnia, you can read any book in The Chronicles of Narnia series. UNO rules still apply to the books though, so make sure that any book that has MPG Children's also has at least 25,000 words on arbookfind.com. We also can't use Hitchhiker's since that's our team and we're inviting others to our house, so to speak.
Hope this helps :)
