The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

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!

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! /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.

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!


also a white:



And red enough?

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.


also a white:

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!


And a blue 7 with

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


also a white:

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!

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!



works for 3 yellow with cln Hayward

CLN Optatus for 1 red
Both these will be finished about April 1st

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 .

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

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

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


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. 😍


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


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

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.


Also a Blue 4 or 9 with

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


And green 7 with

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

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


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
