==============

Jodi, since you didn't manage to finish your book for 9 Red for February, I'll slot you in for the 9 Red in March? Then you can continue reading your book without stress?
Does your blue cover book work for any of the blue cards for March? Since none of them are 2, then I'll slot you in for a Wild Draw 4 for one of them.

[Laura]

E, I don't want to hog, but I also have a Blue 1 Draw 4 and a Red Skip Draw 4. I'll be reading the Red in the first week of March, because it works for Turf Wars.

[Sammy]

As Sonia is making me read , It may as well go towards a wild draw 4 for any of the red cards, lol.

note: I'm listening to the audible audio, which has the red cover, but no audio with red cover is listed on GR. You want me to just use the kindle version for cover purposes, or do you guys have a handy librarian up your sleeves? :)

[Eldarwen]

We do have handy librarians up our sleeve in the captains' group ;-)

Incidentally, if I am not entirely mistaken, our dear LaurLa is also a librarian. If you have the time, LaurLa, could you look into this please? Thank yoouuu!

[Kayt]

Do I need to finish that red 9 today?

[Laura]

Yes, please!

[Kayt]

Laura wrote: "Yes, please!"

Will do, I have about 20 pages left or so.

[Eldarwen]

Thanks, Kayt :-)

[Kayt]

Finished
A Court of Thorns and Roses
2/28/23

to cover the red 9 character Nesta

And I am now obsessed with this series. I love a good Fae book though.
5/5

[Kayt]

Hey I was just looking at my TBR:
I can read this as a wild draw four.


It would cover a Blue 1, as it is the first in the series. And I have the audio and print book already purchased.

I wouldn't consider it blue enough, but can work for Reverse. Loved it!

I'm not even sure how many times I've read/listened to this series. So if you continue, they will count for Reverses.

Sammy - do you have a link to the Audible version? When I try to get to it from Amazon, it's not the red cover.

[Laura]

2 & 1/2 hours until we can finish March books!

Eldarwen wrote: "Wakenhyrst is bluer than the other one, so that one, pretty please :-)"

Aye, captain ! I will read that one next then.

I have a couple of days off now - I didn't plan anything specific and it feels amazing.

[Eldarwen]

AND WE ARE OFF!

It is now time for the March cards, so have at it!!

Don't overextend yourself reading in the first half, you now know what is coming in the second half of the month ;-)

Edit: nevermind. I hunted it down!
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The new GR pages take awhile for all the metadata to show on the page, including the cover. Let me know if it doesn't update.

It's not allowing me to see the ASIN - not sure if that's because I need to sign up or because it's the UK webpage, I've seen them before, so not sure what's different. Can you see the ASIN for your red version? Then I can add the edition.

I can't see it anywhere either :S

I checked both the webpage and the app, and nada. Not just for this title either, checked 3 others and nothing there either.
