Deanna not sure if you are done with the spreadsheet yet but I think we are missing points for the # of hands completed. this should move us from last place!
Ann wrote: "Deanna not sure if you are done with the spreadsheet yet but I think we are missing points for the # of hands completed. this should move us from last place!"Good catch. I just finished doing a last check to make sure everything was entered correctly. Thanks!
thanks, Ann! thanks Deanna! I know it's hard work to get it all filled in. it's so appreciated!
Thank you for your effort in keeping everything organised! I will include the books I have planned to read this month (: As I said, the one I've already started could be used for 5 Blue as it is set in Ireland
Thanks Ann and Deanna! I'm going to go to the library later and look for colored covers. I don't have anything on my shelves that I want to read for any of the colored cards.

Post your claim if you have a book for the remaining color cards or reverses. The next mini will start on the 15th, so watch for details to come out in the next couple of days.
I'll look and see what I have today. I am posting some completions today and tonight as well.
I have just updated the spreadsheet and I would like to inform you that the audiobook I listened to was a blue cover, however, this cover is not available in GR as an audiobook format. What should I do in this case?
Barbara wrote: "I have just updated the spreadsheet and I would like to inform you that the audiobook I listened to was a blue cover, however, this cover is not available in GR as an audiobook format. What should ..."Post the book info here: title, author, narrator, publisher, and publication date. I'll see if I can find the blue cover on any accepted goodreads sites to add the blue cover.
I've been away but I'm back now and I will attempt to get my stuff onto the spreadsheet soon

The "create a drink" challenge sounds fun but a bit difficult, right? Do we have any idea of approaching as a group?
I am reading Britney Spear's book and I like the idea of creating a Britney Spear's Toxic Cosmopolitan :D
I added to the spreadsheet and my two books fit spots on the cocktail menu.
Plus one of my books has honey in the title, and another has bright and winter, which could be used for the cocktail title itself?
I found a book I can use for Skip Green.
