The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

Haha, no need to have words, ladies! :-)

X is enough, no need for there to be an S somewhere in there for the book to work.

I realise my phrasing may have been confusing; sorry! It was just a means to make sure everyone realises it was that particular card that would need to be read for (since it's marked as 6 Green on the spreadsheet).

Eni wrote: "Also Sonia has . Works for both X and S. Is it green enough?"

Yes, green enough :-)

Stacie wrote: "I'll see what I can find later this evening and let you know."

Thank you! :-)

Yes, green enough :-)"

Great. I'll start it today. And then I'll see what I can do about the #3 mini. As a last resort I can always grab Paulo Coelho's books.

For the Q's, I can knock out She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen and Queen and The Queen's Gambit


For the colors:

3 Yellow -
2 Blue -
5 Blue -

I can commit to those 6 and then see what else. Countries I won't be much help on, and I'm not really willing to commit to anymore right now but I can definitely do these 6.

I'll have to look through the rules for the mini and see if I can do something and finish a second book. I could probably do the other country than but I'll get back to you.

Well at least there was a W! :-D
Unless of course you needed the X for a different challenge..

Such a shame that it was no good. Vietnam would have been an interesting setting to read a book from!

And hooray for the others!

I was thinking about reading Crooked Kingdom for the latest Bingo shelf call since it has a W in it but since we're definitely going to be able to cover those tasks easily, I'm going to change that and read something with a fantasy painting cover instead. Not quite sure yet which one. I'll decide once I'm done with my yellow cover.

After that I could read another two fantasy covers or one fantasy cover and a souvenir book. Will see what we'll need by then.

The cover looks blue to me but I'm not sure if it's blue enough to use for anything.

I'm also pretty sure the book I'm about to start is set in France.

Hahahaha :-)))

Sorry, I am laughing at your misery, but that was just a brilliant comment.

But not blue enough - the guy's too prominent, otherwise it would be good.

This could be really good or terrible. I'm hoping for you it won't be the latter...
But does indeed sound like it is set in France.

I'm so mad, I feel like Bones is ruined.

Uuuuuh, that is not cool. I was never a fan of their first meeting as it left a bit of an odd taste in my mouth because it wasn't entirely voluntary and all that jazz but I do like Bones :-)

(Cat is a bit of a pain and not the reason why I kept reading the series, if I'm totally honest.)

Shame that this book has ruined the character for you!

One of my q books is #3 in a series and I haven’t read the first two but I have a replacement.

Very different, think I needed that in my reading

I noticed in the SS on the mini tab you have me down for First Comes Scandal as X instead of S... but it's Q. To my knowledge there is no X character. Hope that doesn't mess up all your plans!

No, it's even better! More points!

That must have been switched around because I've been moving stuff way too much haha.

One of Paulo Coelho's books is blue and title starts with W... I can grab it for the mini 4, if you want to switch stuff around. OR i can just read for the country thing. I was thinking on starting Veronika Decides to Die which is also blue :p but has an E and we need a few of those, I think.
