I finished my book with a gun on the cover and posted it.

This is a bit ironic because I'm so anti-gun I never let my kids even have water pistols. And yet so many of the books I read have guns in them...

What book is it Sammy? My Spidey senses are tingling that knowing this maybe helpful for future rounds...

I think that's why I read it for UNO a few years ago.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

No worries, Team. I'll be finished my book later on today.

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

I'm sure we can easily find books we've already read the past week and a half that we can use for the male and female authors minitasks, too. I think I have books that fit each.

[Lauri]

I was at the dentist Wed (ugh!) & will post tomorrow. Have / will finished all my books by deadline. Promise!

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

I believe you. It's just my need to be helpful, railroading over everyone in the process. :)

Feb. Mini - Male Author



All done! I did NOT add this one to the spreadsheet because I'm not at home. Can someone mark it for me, please?

Thank you!

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

Awesome! I added it for you. I had it correspond to 4 things. Is that what you got? 1, 2, 6 and Skip. I also finished the mini game for you. Way to go doing so much so fast!

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Happy Weekend!

Our spreadsheet for Feb is finalised and now we just need to wait about 2.5 hours for March to start ;)

Sorry I haven't been here much this week. It has been complete chaos between work and my youngest having a suspected case of chicken pox and so having to stay home (it ended up just being a viral rash). Catching up on everything now!!

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I've got a 7 green as well.



V - Raoul de Vermandois

And yellow 7 - Vanessa Riley

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

I of course just found a book I want to read with a sword on the cover.

[Sammy]

Just finished a blue 6/1!

Naturally.

[Sammy]

in fact, if you use my above blue for the 1, I have another blue cover to finish next for another challenge which has an S author 😁

always the way!

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

I'm reading a lovely green for a RL bookclub, but of course so far isn't working for 5 or 7 to be a useful WD4 :(


Can I have another opinion on if this is enough green?

[bookcover:The Dark Vineya..."

Tineye isn't saying so but with the naked eye I'd say it was 50% green if that helps.

[Sophie]

I'd say it's at least 50% green

Holy cow that's a good one! I added it to the sheet for you.

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

I have an M/M Romance challenge that has one more week to go for which I have to read only gay romance and as much as possible. After that, though, I have some reverses I can read.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Thanks Lisa and Sophie! I thought so too but nice to get other eyes!

[Jonnie]

I have finished 2 books. I will try to get my computer working to update the spreadsheet. I did add them to my completed folder for challenges today.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

This book I'm reading also has a Yellow 3 - Amanda Hayes

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

I have a Blue Six if that's still needed:

[Sammy]

Just to be sure, as they're not listed on the tracking sheet... we need one of each colour skip too, right?

Yes, sorry I need to update that

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

I'm sorry, I messed up. I listen to my books on audio and I had the wrong spelling of the name of my blue book so it's not a blue 1. But I have another one that will work. I'll may not get to it until next week though.

No worries, but I had you down for 6 Blue, not 1 Blue. Does it work for S?

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

Oh, both do! I've already read the first one, Be Fairy Game and you've put it in the READ March sheet. I plan to read this one, Zenith, as well and it's in the spreadsheet as unread. I might not get to Zenith until next week.

Oh! Be Fairy Game works for Skip Blue! So if we put Zenith for Blue 6, I can cover both cards.

I can also do Skip Red:

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Ok great 👍 I’ll update the read tab tomorrow

Putting this here so I don't forget - Aesop's fables is mpg children and has 25804 words on ar bookfinder UK.

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

Done, it's in the spreadsheet.

Quick question, though, do the characters have to be the protagonists or just general main characters? I'm used to M/M Romance Group challenges where you can only use the ones the romance is between.

[Sammy]

It's any character that has a reasonable part in the story.
