We're doing good, we need to read 38 more books aprox =)
Just finished Mysteries of Thorn Manor and added it to the tracking sheet. I couldn’t find anything unclaimed on the mini sheet for it though.I’ll use these remaining cards to help me decide my next read.
I added my two current reads to the tracking sheet so I can keep track of which letters they work for as I read and meet more characters. I also claimed two mini tasks on that sheet for them. I’ll be done with both this coming week.
posted both to SS and they are complete
I've finished two books since my last update. They are both in the spread sheet.
and
I finished The Obsession before mini so it can't be used. How High We Go in the Dark fits for task 20. Read a book with a character flying (on) a plane or (on) a spaceship
I'm currently reading my red cover book Death Angel and Gideon the Ninth. Gideon works for task 39. Read a book shelved as Immortal or Mysterious (min 3 tags) it has 5 tags (pg13). I'll see if Death Angel fits any of the mini tasks.
I'm going to be updating the mini challenge at some point this evening. ;)

** will check on the weekend if it fits any of the February Mini challenges
We’re getting down to crunch time!! I’m trying to spend as much time reading as I can! Paula or Patti can you put an updated list of what we need when you get a chance?
Two questions for captains review:1–the cover is the ocean/beach but from above—does that count as a ‘body of water on the cover’ for the mini?
2–is this a teal cover for the mini?
If either is yes, I can claim one on the mini for when I finish this.
I’ll do an update for the mini challenge today :)

Perfect I’ll use it for body of water then when I finish!
Added Snap to the SS, it works for 6 red if needed. Also starting Imperfect Angel which works for 5 red.
hola! I've been super busy at work, I just got a promotion!But tonight I'll check everything. thank you Patti for being here!

Yay Team!!I'm out all day but will be home this evening to update the SS for the mini and get it all in order. Thanks for everyone's massive reading!!
Paula -- congrats on your promotion -- that's awesome!!
Congrats Paula!I have finished 3 books since the last update and I'll be done with another today, so I'll post them all at once later today. :)
Congrats~~ :)I think I'll be finishing one more book today, maybe two. Will try to update the SS tonight, but if not I will do it by tomorrow :)
- 5. Read a book featuring a dragon (shapeshifter accepted) or with a dragon on the cover
I have finished 7 books or so just haven’t had time to add them. I should be able to get them added tomorrow. Is there a recent update on the last cards? I couldn’t find it but phone is acting up.
The last 3 that I completed yesterday are updated on the tracking ss!! I was reading all through last night to finish lolAlso, congratulations on the promotion Paula!!
I updated mine with dates for the mini tasks as well, and I highlighted one as orange to confirm it will work.Legendborn has flames/fire on her arms, and in the book it’s also stated as ‘mage flame’ but I wasn’t sure if it had to be normal fire to count. Just don’t use it if that doesn’t count but I do have all the info entered in case it does.
hello! thank you!I'm on vacation now, Patti I'd appreciate if you can fill the SS! I'll be fully back on March 12
I've added my books to the spreadsheet. 
- task 39 mini
- task 15 mini
and
don't fit for any mini task.When will the colored cards for March be posted?
Hey Team! Great job on the mini!! Paula — I updated and linked all mini challenge books for February

Keri — that worked fine! It’s clearly fire 🔥
Paula — I added some books to the main February SS but I really don’t know what I’m doing and actually just read the post where you asked me to do it. I’m not able to do anymore than I’ve done tonight because I have house guests. I was only under the impression I needed to complete the mini. Sorry. Also — not to be an idiot 😛 but I don’t know how to add March to the tracking SS.
Anyone else here good with spreadsheets ? Sorry but again — I didn’t know you wanted me to do this.
Happy to do it moving forward if somebody can add the tracking for March. Thanks!! Sorry to be lame 🤦🏼♀️
This is going to be a little long. I only have my iPad so the spread sheet is too hard to work with on it. Sorry, this will also include the first book for March. Book:

Paula or Patti, I’m happy to regularly repost this as the color cards are claimed in this thread if that helps us keep track. I’m really very OCD (and a big dork) about tracking posts and lists/charts lol
Or Paula if you want to add this where February’s are in msg 7 instead, and keep track there, that’s fine, I don’t want to overstep but think planning/claiming the color cards and know which are open still helps tackle them all and I’m glad to handle that small part of tracking here :-)

Which red one do you want to claim? I’m guessing Skip Red based on the ‘P’ title but didn’t want to assume!
