Barbara Pereira (babitix) | 285 comments I am reading I'm Glad My Mom Died and that would work for 55. Read a book from the Shelf Hollywood OR Bollywood

All the other readings are not finished yet because I just moved houses, but now I have dozens of boxes to unpack so I will finish all of them in time :D

Deanna | 646 comments We finished our blue cards, reverses, draw 2's, and 9's! Awesome job everyone!

We still need some yellow and red covers. If you have a book for a specific task, please post so we're not reading for the same task.

Keep up the good work everyone!

I can't find any tv shows or movies for this particular book, so I would say no.


message 162: by Carrie (new)

Carrie (carriele1216) | 439 comments I’ll have a synonym for wicked.

It's actually the second part of Little Women, I wonder if it would work for that prompt...


message 164: by Barbara (new)

Barbara Pereira (babitix) | 285 comments 36. would work for Good Wives as I hate the fact that Laurie married Amy!

Deanna | 646 comments Thanks Denise.

Barbara, I put Good Wives down for 52.

Bad - in Good Bad Girls


message 168: by Deanna (new)

Deanna | 646 comments Alright team only 3 more days to go until the challenge end. If everyone can get all their read books on the spreadsheet today or tomorrow, so we can see what tasks are left that would be most helpful.


message 169: by Denise (new)

Denise Lauron (dlauron) | 271 comments I should be finishing one today


message 170: by Deanna (new)

Deanna | 646 comments Updated the tracking list above.

Barbara & Carrie, will you be able to finish your claimed color covers?

I'll work on the last red and yellow covers today.

Ann Sicker | 277 comments I will try and find some short reads for these
25. Read a book shelved as Romantic Suspense or Gothic Romance
27. Read a book from the shelf Cult Classics*


message 172: by Barbara (new)

Barbara Pereira (babitix) | 285 comments I just finished mine!! I am updating the spreadsheet and my shelf (:


message 173: by Carrie (last edited Apr 30, 2024 01:47PM) (new)

Carrie (carriele1216) | 439 comments I will be finishing my green cover book today. I will post later this afternoon!

Update: posted


message 174: by Carrie (new)

Carrie (carriele1216) | 439 comments Posted my green book (which works for mystery/thriller for mini)

Or do I need a separate book for that? If so, I have 1 (possibly 2) more books that I should have finished by this evening.


message 175: by bamaace83 (new)

bamaace83  | 257 comments I read House of Sky and Breath and I would imagine someone on one of these teams has probably read one of the books in that series but I don't really know the easiest way to find that out. That was a big book and took up a lot of my reading time.


message 176: by Deanna (new)

Deanna | 646 comments All the books are on the team spreadsheet. I did some digging and found places for everything added yesterday or today.
