Nice!

I'm hoping for a blue 2/3/6/skip next month, as I have one of those lined up to read already 😁

[Sophie]

I've got a yellow and a red on the go that I'm going to drag out til 1st April in the hopes they work for a card next month.

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

That's convenient. I just finished a two. Glad it was useful!

Well done!

[Tina ❣]

I did end up getting sick. It felt like I had all the symptoms of a cold, the flu and covid, so I had no idea what I actually had. It took me a whole week to get over it! But I made use of my time and finished my last book for this month - Blood of Hercules.

We've finished our last regular card for March so we're just waiting for Karen's book to finish our last hand, and 4 book are left for the bonus. We can do it!

ooh that's a good idea. Fingers crossed they work out!

[Tina ❣]

Update for April!

Our April cards are now out and about! We have a bunch of coloured cards, with the most in red and blue.

We have a new type of card to consider - the Overload card.

Wild Draw 4 cards are no longer in play. You get OVERLOAD cards instead! https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

◈ What are Overload cards?

Overload cards are also cover colour cards, BUT they require different colours.
The colours you can use for Overload cards are the following:

- purple
- pink
- orange
- brown
- grey
- white
- black

You can only use each cover colour once. They are worth 30 points and don't have to fit any letters, only colours.


There is now a tab up in the tracking sheet for April with the cards listed there so you can start planning your books.

[Tina ❣]

We've also finished all our hands for March which Karen read for the lucky last task. That's an amazing effort from everyone on the team!

We just have 3 more books for the March mini:
The Oathbound - Namita
Eternal Magic - Namita
Act Your Age, Eve Brown - Lauri

If you need any help Namita and Lauri, let us know. There's still 5 days left so that's heaps of time!

[Sammy]

Woot! I have an orange planned and was hoping it would come in handy! 😆

also a white: (but may prefer to use it for the 5? Good with that either way!)

[Sammy]

Opinion on whether this is red enough?

I've got a green 4 with the mid-month NBRC BOM 😁

And a blue 7 with

And red enough?

(Red 5)"

ooohh they're tough!

For We Are Many doesn't look green enough to me. It's more yellow and I didn't play around with the screen brightness. I'd say no to this one :(

Wolves of the Calla look at least 50% red to me. Happy to hear others' opinions, or I can ask the captain's group if we're divided on it.

Tineye isn't happy with either.

Not sure if it's my screen, but The Idiot Gods looks like is has a light blue where the orca is. What does it show for you Sammy? That book looks amazing. Can't wait to hear what your thoughts are on it!

Woohoo for an orange!

Good choices! I've got to get my hand on book 2 of Emily Wilde. I enjoyed the first book!

It looks blue-ish on my screen too, but I have the paperback copy in my hand and I don't see it there. Either way, feel free to use it for a 5 instead if it's too iffy!

[Sammy]

Tina ❣ wrote: "Tineye isn't happy with either"

Tineye is never happy with anything. I expect it to tell me my orange book is purple or somesuch 😆

I'll add wolves in for now, but again, if it gets knocked back on the red, it can just be a plain 5 again.

All of the books I've thrown up so far are ones I'm reading for another challenge, so I'm just happy to slot them in somewhere or other 😆

I enjoyed the first one enough to have read it twice already, so definitely looking forward to book 2!

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

I'm in the process of choosing April books for another really complicated challenge. It's going to take me a few days. But when I have those chosen, I'll see how I can help with whatever color cards are still available at that point.

[Sophie]

works for 3 yellow with cln Hayward


CLN Optatus for 1 red

Both these will be finished about April 1st

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I've got these, I'll be reading anyway. -



Blue 5

Red 5

Green 5

Black

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I just saw that Sophie has a Yellow 3 - I haven't started Meet Cute so I'll save this one for another UNO..

Sammy, I was already reading The Autumn Throne for Red 5, hopefully it may fit another one of the Reds or use for a plain 5 .

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I've got a couple that fit brown as well so I'll take that colour.

[Sammy]

I'm happy to use mine for just 5 😁

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

No worries - Who'd have thought that Red 5 would have been so available. 😁

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Good morning!
I finished by 6 Red book yesterday but had a work function last night so couldn't announce it, just stuck it on the sheet 🤣

But yay for our March hands completed! Just those few mini books to go

I am on vacation right now. Lots of reading done. Will update before when I get back on Saturday.

[Sammy]

I'm also reading this next month. Could we say purple?

It is very close, but I'm not sure close enough

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Here's my Brown book -

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I just had a look at .

The female MC is Kailyn Flowers so I can read it for Yellow 4. 😊

That will be pretty much it for me as I am going on holidays on the 10th April. I'm not taking my laptop so only will have my kindle and phone.. I'll still be reading but nowhere near as much, too much sightseeing and eating to be done. 😍

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Thanks, Lisa!

I'm having a look at the books I've been saving for UNO to see what fits 🤣

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I forgot I've been saving this one and it fits for Red 9 .



It will be a good plane read.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

I can do white


and this works for 9 Blue.

Potentially 4 Blue - Although there is reference to a F character in the synopsis I'm not sure if they are an actual character

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Last one.. I've got a grey which I'm starting tonight for another challenge..The Women of the Castle

But if someone else wants to fill the last overload spot, that's all good too.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Great, thanks Lisa!

Could someone add this to our spreadsheet for me, please?
Thank you!

And that’s me done for March!

[Lauri]

I can cover Yellow 7 with by Sara Nisha Adams. Character Vritti.

Also a Blue 4 or 9 with by Sonali Dev. It has characters for both 4 - Fredrick and 9 Nina.

I can’t seem to get them onto the spreadsheet. I can’t open it up to show the color covers for some reason.

Could someone add me on for those, please? Sorry to be such a pain!

Added. I figure the book has to be used in a hand to be used for a mini. I don't know if it's a blue something but I put it for T, H, and E.

You're not a pain! It's a technical issue and I don't mind helping.

In case these don't get used for color cards, I added them to these cards:
The Reading List, #3 in series, AFN: Sara, CFN: Vriti.
Recipe for Persuasion, #2 in series, CFN: Frederick, AFN: Sonali, CFN: Nina

[Sammy]

I can cover green 6 with

And green 7 with

I'll be able to find for pretty much anything else if needed.

[Tina ❣]

I’ve got a yellow 2 and red 7

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

My notifications have stopped again 🙄🙄 #soannoying

Anyhow, I've updated the message above with the currently claimed coloured cards for April :)

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

If we need a backup for the March mini #34, I just finished Night of the Living Deed by E.J. Copperman. I didn't read the book for that purpose, I swear. I just realized that it fits if you want to use it. It fits multiple cards.

Thanks ;)
I was just coming here to see if we had those last books finalised. I will message Namita and shout out if we have a gap before the deadline

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

OK, I'll put it in the spreadsheet just in case so you see what cards it matches.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Thanks!

[Sammy]

I have several books I didn't add to the sheet that will cover cards/mini too, so if needed just holler 😁

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

We don't have much time left so it would be great if you put one in the spreadsheet that fits the last mini. It won't hurt and it might prevent us losing points.

[Sammy]

already did 😉
