And as of two minutes ago we were first!!! I’m holding onto that since it’s all luck of the draw.

Oh neat! That's super cool. Yeah we can enjoy it while it lasts. But really, doing every task sure feels like a win.
Thanks M!I finished the book
on my way home from school (time #1). I'll get those first two April books on the spreadsheet :)
I'm planning to read these 2 books for April. I saw that the colored cards were covered, so we can use them for backup. Or for reverse. Kelly's read both of them!
- Blue 2
- Yellow 2 or Yellow 6
Oh wait, can we also use them for Wild draw 4?
Oh great Laila. Yes for sure we need wild draw 4s also. Tons of color cards. Which is good because its lots of points :)
Laila I put the two in there - I replaced my blue book with yours because then I don't HAVE to get to it. And I put the yellow book in for a Wild Draw 4.

Thanks Kelly! How's your husband doing? And are you starting to feel any better?
He’s doing fine! Dying to get back to work but I’m glad he’s off because I’m not doing so well - still pretty sick. The meds I’m in are helping a little but I’m usually in bed until the afternoon as moving makes me hurl.
Oh that's gotta be so rough for you. I sure hope you start feeling a lot more human soon!
Yeah I told my doctor I need zofran but she basically just pat me on the head and told me I was silly. So I gotta wait until it’s bad enough that I need fluids. And zofran haha.
Hey everyone! I finished Beloved. I'm going to take a week off due to a mid-term paper I'm writing.

For those interested Rene Denfeld's new book just went on pre-order on the HarperCollins website. I think it is as good as The Child Finder and reccomend it.

I hate it! But for me it’s a sign of a sticky pregnancy. So I just have to endure it. With my 3.5 year old it lasted until I was 36 weeks. Hopefully it won’t be that long this time!

Kelly - I've read 2 of your books also - so we get to add reverse to the long lists of possible cards. I'll put books in the spreadsheet tomorrow.
Oh brilliant! I forgot to check before I put them up. That’s gotta be great with all the reverse cards we have.
Yeah it is great for sure. Its pretty amazing how many Reverse cards we have, but its also good since those are worth more points than regular #s. At least, they are good if we fill them :)
Just a quick update. Computer monitor went kaput and plan on picking up a new one this weekend. The completion post will be long.
Thanks M! I always miss tech so much when i don't have it!

Give up the ghost - Juliet Blackwell
YELLOW 6 (I believe!!)
I know there’s more for the first book, but I’m currently stuck in bed and I don’t have it in front of me. If you want more, just let me know and I’ll get hubby to bring it to me haha.
Oh no worries - this works great. Thanks so much :)
Oh darn - the captains group didn't pass Give up the Ghost as Yellow (Tineye says too much tan). No worries though - it still fits lots of places - and Laila has a wildcard yellow that fits there.
Booo! They should probably take it out of the yellow cards list then - that’s where I got it from.
Oh is it? I'll point that out and I bet we'll be able to use it!
I'm trying to be extra careful since our team is doing so well =) I made a note in the planning sheet, and I'm sure we'll know tomorrow - and either way will work fine.
Haha sounds fair! And it’s not like it won’t be covered if it’s not accepted. And if it’s not, I’ll get back to you on what else it fits - definitely 6 because it’s sixth in series.
Great- and we have lots of 6s too. We'll definitely be ok either way =)

Thanks Kelly! That is the cutest cover!
It really is! It’s quite a cute series too - the next book is out in July. This one was a bit weaker than the others, but it feels like a “filler” book which is going to segue into a stronger story next time. Also completion post!!
