I have a book for mini 60 - with all the letters in WORK can be found in the authors first and last name

I noticed that my name was in the mini challenge #26. Read a book with 2 B's in the authors name. The book that I had for that challenge was used for the roadtrip challenge instead. I just wanted to let you know that I'm not currently reading any book that fits that challenge :)

Su Ah, Melissa is reading a book that fits 2 B's in the authors name.

I found a really short book with the orange cover I can read if no one's covering it yet.

I about to start a book that *may* have a character that goes to another planet. I can't completely tell from the description. {crossing my fingers}

updated:

Elena I'll put your name down for the orange cover. Thanks!

We've completed UNO for April - yay!!! Great job everyone!

There are only a few books left to complete the April Mini - we can do it I know we can!!!!!

Don't forget we have 2 books from Pixie we can use so just read what you can - the bonus books need to be one book that fills 2 tasks. I have a book in there for an example. If we don't complete the mini then I'll move mine in there somewhere. But i think we'll be able to :):)

You can leave Sandy's book there. I'm only a couple chapters into my book that fit there. I'm going to pick up something else instead to fit an open spot.

What is everyone currently reading?

Annalisa I moved your book from edible item to baked good. I think edible item is more general and easier to find then baked good. If i need to move it back I will but for now it's a baked good. :)

I wasn't sure which spot to put it in.

I'm currently reading a book with a heart on the cover.

Great - so that's being covered.

Can anyone read: A Pinch of Passion? I already have The Edge of Never on my Nook and can read that for the same cover task. I can't get A Pinch of Passion from the library.

We can't use your book Andrea. :(

Mini
18. where estranged siblings reconnect
Caleb, Tristan and Dalton were estranged for the past five years. When their dad dies, his will requires they live and work together for a year and they patch things up during the story

Yay on completing all of our UNO hands!!

I'll be done with the orange book soon and you can put my name down for the Haiku task too, I can read Haiku.

For the same cover task - I don't have the book to match Melissa's but two different people can read the same book, right? Or perhaps we can use a Pixie book for one of them and match it if we don't come up with anything?

I'm working on #60, and I also have a book that fits for both 10. where a character travels to another planet and 52. with a space craft on the cover

Cinder & Ella by Kelly Oram

Mini
53. with a heart on the cover There are two hearts on the cover

I thought I would be able to get the book for something breakable on the cover back from the library, but I the hold hasn't come in, so I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it.

Melissa wrote: "Great - so that's being covered.

I also do not have access to this book. I checked and while I can get a few of the books that were on the list, they don't have the same cover pictured, or I can't get a second book with the same cover.

I don't have access to it either.

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds

3*

Mini:
10. where a character travels to another planet > Travel to Resurgam to study the annihilated Amarantin civilization.
52. with a space craft on the cover

It has to be two different books. Not two people reading the same book. Can anyone else get any of those books? Should be short ones we can pick.

Updated

So we've got:
21. with an edible item on the cover
32. where SKY can be found in the title
34. with something breakable on the cover
40. with a newspaper or book on the cover
41. 2 different books with the same cover - Book 1
42. 2 different books with the same cover - Book 2
46. with the sky and stars on the cover
56. written by an author with a first of last name starting with P
67. with a Z in the title

What books with the same cover can people get?

I'm going to try and read both cover clone books. I've got:

and Fingers Crossed!! I'll work on these before I finish the Music one. If anyone wants to read Dark Genesis let me know I'm starting Reckoning now.

If anyone wants to cover the music one go for it. If need be I can finish my book and use it for a Bonus.

If you could move Forever My Girl to Music, then I could read one with a musical instrument on the cover.. I don't have access to a mpg of music.

Michelle - done!

Oh and SKY doesn't have to be SKY it just has to be the letters SKY in the title. It's worded differently then the others but means the same. :)

I've got some notes on the spreadsheet about stuff I can move or use Pixie's book for.

I'll move stuff around tomorrow night once I see what else needs to be filled. I'm probably done - I've got 3 books left for the month. Doubtful I'll be able to do anything more.

If someone could cover these books we should finish:

21. with an edible item on the cover
32. where SKY can be found in the title
34. with something breakable on the cover
40. with a newspaper or book on the cover
46. with the sky and stars on the cover

and 1/2 bonus books

If I have your name on the spreadsheet and you won't be able to finish that book please let me know! We can do this! We are so close to the end - 2 more days.

I'll do Back Story for SKY and that's probably the last one I can do as I have to have an endoscopy done on Monday. Fun, fun, fun!

OH fun fun!!!

Thanks :)
