I have a blue 7 that I'm reading that we can use as backup if needed :)

If you're reading it anyway... then I'll just skip my book entirely and read something else that might be more useful for the mini challenge.
I'll read Painted Veil now and then I'll see what else I can find that might finish up a set of tasks.

Crazy indeed!! o.O

What are your reading plans for this last stretch of the game?
Also, does anyone have a book for our 3 Yellow?

The Painted Veil (water on cover task) should be done tomorrow hopefully.
Then I'll be reading Silence of the Grave for the thriller task which should hopefully also be quick.
And then I want to read Spider's Bite next week, too, but not sure yet for which task. Probably a spell-out, which might be the easiest egg to finish up.

Okay, I'm not going to read it until the last minute. If someone else comes up with something before then, go for it!

I'm not sure I would fully consider it a garden, but The Spymaster's Lady has an abstract of a flower garden behind the main character. It is a little questionable if it is a garden or not. I should see if I can find something better than an abstract garden.

That would work for garden to me, so if you want to read it - go for it :)

Actually it works for P, names can be used for spell-it outs :)

Great! I totally missed that.

I've started Pretty Little Liars. It has a yellow cover and one of the main characters is named Hanna.

Awesome! Take it!!! Mine wasn't on my April reading list so I'm happy to not have to read if I don't have to :-)

Looking again - seems if I have the H, then I don't have the U or vice versa...

The Troublemaker Next Door

I'm listening to Think Like a Freak and that is orange. I should finish it soon.
I haven't figured out how to do links on the app so sorry about the lack of links to these books.

Nice! Post what they fit for and we might be able to switch some around if needed :)

Some of the books listed for the spell-outs have other options as well so we might be able to switch some things around to maximise book-use and points.

On another note I began reading 'The innocence of Father Brown', by GK Chesterton, thinking it was a book. However, after finishing what I thought was the first chapter I have since realised it was not a chapter but that 'The Innocence of Father Brown', is actually a series of short stories!
I won't be reading on Thursday as I have business to attend to all day so that really only leaves me four days before the end of the month. I will have a look at my TBR shelf and see if I can find a short book (obviously of 25,000 words or more) to try and get though by the end of April. I will let you know. What a plonker!



I haven't finished it. I'll post again when I do. The above keeps me from forgetting those in case we need to move something around and this fits one of those better than the garden.
