I think it is blue enough =)"

Ok that’s what I was thinking too! I’ve claimed 5 Blue with it and I’m almost done with both that and my red book. Then I’ll be on to my yellow.

Keri thank you for fixing the SS

And yes — I think that’s good for blue ;)

Raquel what did you think of Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six? I have heard mixed reviews but I do have it checked out from the library now…

[Raquel]

It was pretty good. Some characters became a little annoying but I felt they did a good job of sucking you in keeping you engaged and wanting to know how it all ended. The end was a bit of a let down as far as thrillers go, but the rest of the book made up for it. 🙂

Sounds like at least worth reading then, I do like when they suck you in and keep you wanting to pick it up. I usually find it helps going in with lower expectations too haha

[Keri]

I added a tab on the tracking spreadsheet and pasted in all the animal info, and I pulled out what I think are all the color options for each in a column too. I felt like because of how vague everything is, I was constantly going back and forth trying to figure out if something would fit and maybe this tab would help us :-)
I wish these were just listed as clear tasks rather than paragraphs. I find the vagueness harder lol

Do you think this is blue? It’s kinda blue gray. It can work for Blue 7 Skip

[Snezana]

I think that's very blue cover!

[Snezana]

I finished , I'm a little confused by this month's mini, so I thought I better check in here, can this be used as a characteristic for Flower Spiders because it has flowers on the cover?

[Keri]

Maddielucy(Patti) wrote: "Do you think this is blue? It’s kinda blue gray. It can work for Blue 7 Skip

"

I also think it looks blue, and I checked TinEye which says 76.1% blue! You put Blue 7 Skip, so since Skip Blue is already claimed and in the WD4, but we haven’t repeated 7 Blue, I’ll put it in there as the dupe for a WD4.

I loved that book, tho it was pretty heartbreaking from what I remember.

Yes I can add them but work won’t let me use Google sheets so it won’t be until I get home either tonight or tomorrow.

🔶🔶🔶Anyone who isn’t able to add a book to the spreadsheet🔶🔶🔶

Please add something like:
*NEEDS ADDED TO SPREADSHEET*
OR
🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

or something like that, at the end of your completion post with all the needed info, so it draws attention that it needs added—I don’t mind helping add these but it’s helpful to catch my eye :-)

This way it will draw others attention, and anyone who is able to add it can reply and says “ADDED” or something so we don’t miss anything :-)

Shan ~ A We already have two Skip Blues claimed and completed, the regular and the WD4, does it work for any other letters? 7, 4, or 5 are options for Blue still
If not, no worries, we can use it for a regular skip

Everything from msg 209 has been added! Brittany, let me know if there are more posts from you before that which I may have missed and I'll get those added!

Also, great news (besides how AMAZING your books are for SO MANY cards!), we can use Someone to Honor, for Skip Green that we have open still as it has a green cover and CFN Katy! I'll get that on the tracking sheet also. :-)

I did some sleuthing and figured this out!

We can move Snezana’s Things We Never Got Over from WD4 (Skip Blue), to WD4 (7 Blue), because that book takes place in Virginia.

Then we can use Shan ~ A’s book for WD4 (Skip Blue)!

This way both books get used for a color card as planned, AND we have all but one of our color cards now claimed!!!

I liked it too. I actually cried at the end 😭😭

[Keri]

Okay I updated a lot on the spreadsheet after running some numbers to use things we had more cards left for, but less books that fit that card.

I did not put every completed book in, b/c the ones left work for MANY cards, so we can wait and see what others read in case some books only fit a few cards.

For example we only need one more Skip card, but tons of our books have fit that.

[Keri]

Here's how we are looking on regular cards right now, I'd say focus on the cards we need most of b/c there are finished books on the spreadsheet that work for all the cards, so if we only need 1 or 2 more, we're more likely to be okay and need more help on the ones we need 3+ more.

Cards and how many we still need:
0s----- 3
1s----- 6
2s----- 5
3s----- 3
4s----- 1
5s----- 2
6s----- 3
7----- 4
8s----- 5
9s----- 4
Skips----- 1
Reverses----- 0
Wilds----- 3

Side note...I did not get Brittany's added to the Mini Challenge spreadsheet, she had them listed but I totally forgot to go back and get them added!

I also realize I have not put my own on there lol. So after dinner I'll try to get back on if I have time, if not won't be able to until after work tomorrow.

[Maddielucy(Patti)]

Keri I added Brittany’s from 5 days ago. I think she’s caught up unless I missed any more of her posts. I’m back from vacation tonight and will do an update for the mini.


Thank you so much for all you’re doing for the group!!

[Brittany]

Thank you I have some more finished and will post them later tomorrow. I am going to check and see if I can get the tracking sheet to load and double check about my books. I did have an earlier post in the month but I’ll look and make sure.
