Ah, I’ve read Weyward and really enjoyed it 😍🥰🥰
It looks like a Yellow 1 is what is left on the coloured front cover cards?So, I was wondering if this would count. If so, I can start it after I finish my current one.

Hi! Do we get a mini challenge for each month or just Feb? I’m probably going to finish my last planned book tomorrow so wondering if I should wait a couple days to pick up some more from the library or just keep trucking. Thanks! 😊 Hope everyone’s been having a good reading month so far 🤞🏼

PROUD OF THIS TEAM
Woohoo! :D I should be done with most/all of the books I've put on the sheet by the end of this weekend, so if anyone thinks they're not going to be able to finish a colored card or a mini-challenge prompt, lmk and I'll find something to read the last week of the month :)
Great news!! I only have one claimed book to finish and it's short, so I can read more if anyone thinks they can't finish a claimed book. Great job everyone!!
Nice work team! I will finish my last book in the next day or two :)
I'm back! I updated what I finished. Are any specific on my list needed to finished before the end of the month? I want to know what to prioritize

Hello, sorry I’ve been a bit quiet - currently on holiday. I have just finished House of Earth and Blood and am about to start Mr Penumbra’s 24 hour Bookstore (yellow cover) ☺️
Hi everyone :)I have added the April tab up so we can start planning April books :)
Also keep up the great work 🧡
I can read ‘House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J Maas’ which could potentially count for a blue cover 4 as one of the characters is called Fury. I’m using this version:

Just popping in for an update on my list. I will fine The Quiet Damage by the end of this month. Do we need a blue cover? I might also finish The Dragon Republic kindle edition by the end of the month.
Steph - someone used god of the woods for a green in March so you should be good to use that for April!
