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

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.


message 553: by Laura (new)

Laura | 2892 comments 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.


message 554: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 1019 comments As Sonia is making me read Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn , 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? :)


message 555: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments 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!

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 (kaytm) | 135 comments Hey I was just looking at my TBR:
I can read this as a wild draw four.
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (Aristotle and Dante, #1) by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

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

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.
