Team Moriarty's Three Wise Men

[Helke]

We really did good last month. Thank you all for buckling down. I´m sorry I have been MIA so much but I had a lot going on at work and felt a bit under the weather. Hope I will do better this month and be a bit more communicative too.

Wow!! Hope you have a swift recovery. Take it easy.
Me, myself have had an attack of shingles, very painful and tiring.

OMG Gustaf, if it was an emergency, it must have been painful. I hope you can take the time for a full recovery! Feel better.

The mini challenge looks fun!

[Helke]

Sorry I´m late with posting this. The April mini challenge has started today. Please take a look at the challenge here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

The mini challenge is added to the ss, so you can look where your books fit and put them in.

Again sorry for being late. Due to my vacation I´m swamped with papers to grade and therefor a bit distracted.

I don't like tin eye -- I see blue and white and flesh tones.

I moved a couple of my books to different hands as they were in some with Draw 2 cards. I'm not exactly sure how to score the Draw 2s, so I usually just try to ignore them.

So that´s me updated to today. Now I´ll have to put them all on the ss.

[Helke]

I updated the ss and made some changes to better use the books we have read so far.

We need a book that fits a 3 and a 5 for a Draw2 in hand 6. All other Draw2 cards are finished.
We also still need:
Yellow 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, skip
Green 1, 2, skip
Red 9
That are quite a lot of colour cards.

@ Skye: Can you take a look at this book please? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
You put it in hand 3 for a 5 as book #5 in series but the link goes to book #6.

We still have 10 days left and nearly all books read so well done everybody.

[Gustaf]

I'm going to get my books updated on the ss tomorrow :)
