Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1571 comments I have added all of those to our spreadsheet!

To update on a few more color cards--

Nikk also read The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next, #1) by Jasper Fforde which I placed as 8 Green, but can also fit 9 Green if someone else reads something that fits for 8 Green.

I'm currently reading The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett by Chelsea Sedoti , which can take one of our yellow cards (either 2, 4, 6, or 8 from the characters I've encountered so far).

Avni (avniaghi) | 162 comments I might have something for 0 blue

Murder on the Orient Express Murder on the Orient Express (Hercule Poirot, #10) by Agatha Christie

It should qualify for a stand alone because although there are many Hercule Poirot books each one is a separate story and not part of any series


message 407: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1571 comments I am pretty sure the mods go by what it says for series on ŷ, so since that one says #10 on here, they wouldn’t consider it standalone. But I believe Sarah is reading for 0 Blue so we should have it covered either way :) and if you plan to read it anyway we can just fit it in as a regular card of course.


message 408: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1571 comments Just a heads up to you all -- I am going to be on vacation starting tomorrow night until next Saturday afternoon, so I will not be on here as much next week as I usually am. I'll still be checking in in case any of you have any questions, though!

I'll make sure to add any completion posts from today/tomorrow morning to our spreadsheet before I leave. I may or may not be adding next week's completion posts during the week depending how busy I am, but in case I don't have time I will take care of next week's after I return next Saturday!

Happy reading :)

Here are the color cards we have left open!
2 Yellow
9 Yellow
1 Red
9 Green
6 Yellow
1 Yellow
2 Red
4 Yellow
8 Yellow
5 Blue

(Or, if you find one that can be 8 Green or 9 Red, that works too -- the books we currently have placed as those can be moved to other color cards)

As far as regular cards, we still have some left of each aside from WD4, so no specific needs as of right now :)

APRIL MINI CHALLENGE

Hi team! I just wanted to check in because I realized the April mini challenge was posted a few days ago and it starts today any books � started after 7 pm AEST counts! (so about 7 hours prior to this post)
Main city times --
Tokyo: 6pm, 12th April
London: 10am, 12th April
New York: 5am, 12th April
San Francisco: 2am, 12th April
If you need help calculating the starting time for your region, let me know!

This month's mini is all about reading books that fit into the random "holidays" in April. Some will be pretty easy (a book where characters are siblings) and some will take a little more work.

Here are the rules and tasks.

Please familiarize yourself with the rules! Some of them are to find certain words within the text of the book (pajamas/pyjamas, fun, honesty, etc.) -- so being familiar with them can help you identify if the book you are reading can qualify for that task.

Let me know if you have any questions! Happy reading!

P.S. -- Thank you for all the completion posts this week. I will add them to the spreadsheet when I return home on Saturday/Sunday!

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1571 comments Hi, everyone! I am back from my vacation. Our spreadsheet is now up to date. We have completely finished hands 1�6 and have filled most of 7 and some of 8, so we are almost halfway through the hands at almost halfway through the month. Keep up the good work :) I'll update the numbers of each card we have left and our remaining color cards tomorrow as well and let you all know once I have done so.

Also, a reminder: since we are now in mini challenge time, please let me know with your completion posts if the book is eligible for the mini challenge (started April 12 or later) and what it fits for (if anything)!

Happy reading! :)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1571 comments So here are our remaining color cards:

9 Yellow
1 Red
9 Green
6 Yellow
1 Yellow
2 Red
0 Blue (Sarah plans to cover)
4 Yellow
8 Yellow

Some of the books we have placed in other color cards can fit multiple, so we also have some wiggle room if you read something that fits a filled color card but not an empty one, just FYI.

I'm currently reading two yellow books, so I have a few I'll be taking care of � but I'm not sure which I will fill those in as yet because they can fit multiple.
