I can probably get that one done in time. I have a work trip this week so I'll be stuck in the airport, on the plane, and will have a little hotel downtime. Let me see if I can knock out a couple more.
i have a backup for 1 green if we need it. I will need to know by the 27th to have time to knock it out.
Hey guys, would you consider this a red cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... ?It’s one of my planned reads for March
I love PNR, Historical Fiction, Thrillers, Cozy Mysteries, Horror and Urban Fantasy , Steampunk!! I’ll go have a look at March Hands.
all good Michelle, thanks. should be able to get those two remaining finished :)

It's not one I would pick for a red cover as it has other colors as well, but not sure how strict they are with Uno compared to something like Team Towers where they're ultra strict

It's close, but I'm not sure it's quite 50%. Let's check in the captain's group to see what the consensus might be.
I‘ve got 2 more books for feb. Shouldn‘t be a problem to finish them.
I've only got one book left (which I'm currently reading), so no problem finishing it
Finished and marked complete, And Then There Were none.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...I found this book with black writing only-and only 115 pages. It is not at my library though.
I’ve got 2 reads left. I’m halfway through one and a quarter through the other. The latter is not a long book so I’m hoping I can finish them both. I’ll have a better indication after tomorrow if not. It’ll be tight but I think I can do it!Also Michelle I saw my dreams were dashed on the captains group😞 my planned March read was ruled as not red enough, tragically. I put it down for 1 Red but I’ll move it to another card now.

If Nadine cannot finish Flux my book, The Shattered Castle would work for a 3 (CFN Harlow). I'm half way done and only have it added to the mini.

"I think so.
Finished Tell The Wolves I'm Home - I did not cry but because perhaps I had forwarning - beautiful book and I rated it 5 stars.
I went through my bookshelf and busted out an old Barbara Cartland with black text. These books are so cheesy but they are really fast reads. You can read them in a little over an hour, so one more done.The things I will read for a challenge, I swear. lol
Michelle wrote: "I went through my bookshelf and busted out an old Barbara Cartland with black text. These books are so cheesy but they are really fast reads. You can read them in a little over an hour, so one more..."Thats awesome. Ive never read a book in an hour. You must be a speed reader!
Let me know if we still need another black text book! I can pivot to good girl's guide to murder which I've been wanting to read!
Finished Plier late last night/early this morning before bed, just marked complete on the sheet. It's one I put as black writing on the cover as well.
Michelle wrote: "We need one more, Samantha!"Ok! I'm going to listen to Pageboy instead at work today since Good Girl's Guide to Murder isn't available now anymore at my library >.<
I have that on my list! Curious how you like it. :)
Hey guys, I’m conscious of time and the fact that in between work and my uni classes I don’t have enough time to read on the weekdays.The problem is I have 2 books left but I only have enough time to finish 1. The book I won’t be able to finish is currently down as Wild Draw 4 in hand 8.
Has anyone read a book already for another card that could fit a Wild Draw 4? And then I was thinking I know some people have read extra books for the mini so we could swap it with that one.
Also Michelle, if I start a book in February and finish it in March can it still count for the March hands?
Thoughts on if this is red enough?
If so, it can count for Skip Red
Woah, I'm sorry that image is so large. lol

just finished Flux this evening so all good there 😊
Samantha I would say that’s red enough yeah
Kadi, I’ve read a few for the mini that could probably work. Let me get to the hotel and I’ll check. Just landed in Phoenix for a work trip.

My book, The shattered castle is in overflow and I think it will work for 3 blue. Let me know if you want me to add it there.

unless its not blue enough.
The Shattered Castle
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Just finished Steelheart and marked red - just one for me to go, woohoo!
So all books you are currently reading that you started anytime after the start of the challenge can roll to March. If you have books you are reading that you can hold off on finishing until the March round starts and they aren't already placed for February, move them on over!March begins;

That works perfectly! If it works for 3 blue, or 8 blue, or skip blue, let's use it there.
The other option to cover the Wild Draw 4 with already finished books: add my Hunger Games from the mini to Erin's Reverse and move Tell the Wolves I'm Home to the Wild Draw 4 for Green 4 (ch Finn).Either one keeps us covered.
Down to the last couple of days for month 1. Looks like 7 slots are still unread. If you are going to fall short and need to roll your book to March, please let us know tonight so we can quickly fill the open slots. We don't want to leave any hands unread.
I only have the book of three and the shattered castle and will definitely finish by Thursday.

They still do not have the official all teams spreadsheet up, correct?❅ Current results spreadsheet: Coming soon
I finished my black text book but won't be able to update spreadsheet until tomorrow morning!
Erin I think it was on some other page because I’ve got it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Kadi wrote: "Erin I think it was on some other page because I’ve got it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/..."Thank you!
We are almost to the finish line! 4 books to go.
Done with my last book on the SS for this month!
I think I might be the last one lol! I’ve got 2 chapters on my book left so I’ll finish it after work this evening
Kadi wrote: "I think I might be the last one lol! I’ve got 2 chapters on my book left so I’ll finish it after work this evening"You can do it! It looks like we still have 2 books - 1 Green and Reverse to fill.
