The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

                                ~Early Easter!~

This was our mini challenge in April 2015

Just when you thought Easter was a few months away! You are invited to join our UNO Easter Egg Hunt while waiting for UNO to begin.


Easter Egg Hunt
So many coloured eggs! Try and collect them all!
Read books with a cover that is predominantly one of these covers. As a group, we can only read one of each colour. :
♔ Blue
♔ Brown
♔ Gold
♔ Orange
♔ Green
♔ Yellow
♔ Grey
♔ Purple
♔ Pink
♔ Red
♔ Yellow
♔ Black
♔ White

Easter Scavenger Hunt
Find these words... they are all products used to naturally dye eggs for Easter
Read books that contains one of these words in the text or title (plurals are acceptable). You can claim each word more than once (there is no limit), HOWEVER, you can only claim a maximum of three words per book.

♔ Blueberry
♔ Grape
♔ Coffee
♔ Walnut
♔ Tea
♔ Dill
♔ Chilli
♔ Turmeric
♔ Spinach
♔ Chlorophyll
♔ Apple
♔ Beetroot
♔ Onion
♔ Carrot
♔ Paprika
♔ Craberry
♔ Raspberry
♔ Hibiscus
♔ Red Wine
♔ Orange
♔ Lemon
♔ Chamomile
♔ Celery
♔ Cumin
♔ Saffron

When you have read a book, post in this thread and add to this spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

◈ You can't use the same book for the egg hunt and scavenger hunt. That means if you have a pink book that contains the words "saffron" and "grape" you will need to decide if you want to use it for the colour OR the words. It can not be used for both.
◈ Books read between January 25 and 31 count
◈ The usual book length rules apply, Books must be more than 100 pages in length and Children's books and Graphic Novels can not be used unless by word count they can be verified as more than 25,000 words using arbookfind.com or are more than 3 hours in audio

I have an orange book coming up! 😁

👏

And I just finished for black (it’s the 25 Jan here!)

I don't have a colour book but the book I'm reading will work for the scavenger hunt!

👏 so satisfying to come across herbs in books right now 🤭

And sooo frustrating when there aren't any. :D

currently reading a book with a purple cover and the MC is named Saffron.

almost finished the lovely red , and then will be reading the orange 😊

Is it just me or the spreadsheet changed? I can't see the scavenger hunt table. There's something else under horror book club months..

I was just thinking that!

- red book complete.

I finished a white book.

I see the same thing.

Someone copied and pasted that in at 2am my time this morning according to the version history.
So I've restored the prior version.
Unfortunately if it happens again I'll have to lock down the spreadsheet and you'll need to request edit access which means you'll need to be logged into google to change and it will show who does what. Hopefully we don't get to that and it was just an innocent mistake someone made

I'm guessing someone had more than one SS open and got them confused? These things happen, I guess, lol.

Yes hopefully. It didn't seem to be an intentional hack with 'I hate easter eggs' or anything. LOL

I've added now the spreadsheet is fixed in case you are offline

LOL! Now I have a mental image of some notorious hacker wanted by all the 3-letter agencies logging onto GR to see which spreadsheets they don't approve of 😂

Thank you Karen. :)

I also have a pink book I'll be reading before the end of the month, but won't claim it in case someone else has one too :)

Naturally! There is a dress code, you know!

finished this for blue (unless you feel it is not blue enough?)

It is blue enough. :)

😅

Precisely!

Haha I like it

Finished pink, working on green...

🤗🤗

I found Dill, lemon and coffee in my latest read. And then the ingredients just kept on coming! Probably just as well It's limited to 3 😁

My current read has so many of these words in it, gone with the most obscure. added to the SS now as will finish it in a couple hours

I have read a few that had none whatsoever (sci-fi is rarely good for food!). My current read has celery and tea so far. Hopefully I'll catch another before I'm done.
