Team Count Adhemar's Bourbon Lancer

[Annalisa]

SS updated to here

[Suzanne]

I found a book that will work for Green 1 - I'll start it after I finish my green skip book.

I will be listening to a book that works for the "Cult Classics" list. If someone is already doing that one, please speak up as I can switch to something else useful.

For the Revenge list - I noticed books like Throne of Glass and Hunger Games series if anyone is reading those.

For plot that relates to our team character:
A sports rival (jousting rival), he competes for affection of a girl, He cheats. If any of you have any of those, put it down.

[Annalisa]

I found a book on the revenge list I could read if no one else has one. I’m also looking for a dystopia or Hard Science fiction. Is anyone reading for either of those?

[Suzanne]

I just noticed Poirot also works for Revenge, so if you see something read by another team in Feb/March, or for this mini challenge, then we could switch those tasks around.

An Indecent Invitation could maybe work here. The bad guy buys information on our leading lady so that he can try and compromise her. When that doesn't work asks the leading lady to marry him and when she says no he resorts to having her kidnapped.

[Suzanne]

I think that works for sure!

I switched my book there so that we have that covered. We can always switch it back to Romantic Suspense if we have something better.

[Alla]

We do have some cards also left to cover right?

[Annalisa]

Alla wrote: "We do have some cards also left to cover right?"

Yes, we also have more uno cards that mini tasks at this point.

[Suzanne]

Yes we sure do. We just haven't listed them because they are much more flexible except for color cards

SS Updated to here

We have 7 cards left - color cards are done

For the mini we still need:
Shelved as Hard Science Fiction or Dystopia
Shelved as Romantic Suspense or Gothic Romance
A Characters intentions are misunderstood (or uses poison)
MPG Retelling

[Suzanne]

I have 2 I am reading that don't fit the mini stuff - although misunderstood intentions may happen :)
I can cover Retelling unless someone else is doing that. I could also probably push and cover one more - but I don't want to do that if someone else is already reading for one of the others.

I am will finish a dystopian novel today.

[Annalisa]

I also was reading a dystopian novel and almost finished with it.

There was an update for the shelve tasks. It has to be tagged 5 times min or a MPG for us to count it. I'm going to try and check them today and update but if you get a chance and you have a book that is used for the genre tags would you please check it.

[Suzanne]

Oh I'm glad you caught that. I'll check the books I read right now.

[Annalisa]

That was a quick check and we are all set for the shelves tasks all were good.

[Suzanne]

Oh looks like you already did - thanks Annalisa!

[Annalisa]

If someone has a book that works for the 46. Read a book with a plot (trope/plot device/action/occurrence) that can be connected with your team villain. The book can be moved to cover Romantic Suspense.

[Alla]

If we need a book to cover romantic suspence, I can do that, I have book tagged Romantic suspence in MPG. Do we need that?

Ok, I am almost done reading mine as well, so I will finish it, and we can use for the main challenge. It is also tagged horror if that helps at all.
