I finished my book with a gun on the cover and posted it.This is a bit ironic because I'm so anti-gun I never let my kids even have water pistols. And yet so many of the books I read have guns in them...

What book is it Sammy? My Spidey senses are tingling that knowing this maybe helpful for future rounds...
Not something I would normally have picked to read, but it's on audible+ and it covered an awkward challenge task 😆

I think that's why I read it for UNO a few years ago.
I've finished
The LGBTQIA+ is now done.
Amazing work team! All the cards for February are now finished.
For the mini challenge, we just have one book from Lisa and 3 from Lauri left. If you need any help, please shout out
I've added a tracking tab for March that's ready for books to be added to :)

Done, thanks Lauri
No worries, Team. I'll be finished my book later on today.
I'm sure we can easily find books we've already read the past week and a half that we can use for the male and female authors minitasks, too. I think I have books that fit each.
I was at the dentist Wed (ugh!) & will post tomorrow. Have / will finished all my books by deadline. Promise!
I believe you. It's just my need to be helpful, railroading over everyone in the process. :)

Feb. Mini - Male Author
All done! I did NOT add this one to the spreadsheet because I'm not at home. Can someone mark it for me, please?
Thank you!
Awesome! I added it for you. I had it correspond to 4 things. Is that what you got? 1, 2, 6 and Skip. I also finished the mini game for you. Way to go doing so much so fast!
Happy Weekend!Our spreadsheet for Feb is finalised and now we just need to wait about 2.5 hours for March to start ;)
Sorry I haven't been here much this week. It has been complete chaos between work and my youngest having a suspected case of chicken pox and so having to stay home (it ended up just being a viral rash). Catching up on everything now!!
I've got a 7 green as well. 
V - Raoul de Vermandois
And yellow 7 - Vanessa Riley
I of course just found a book I want to read with a sword on the cover.
Just finished a blue 6/1!
Kelly (Maybedog) wrote: "I of course just found a book I want to read with a sword on the cover."Naturally.
in fact, if you use my above blue for the 1, I have another blue cover to finish next for another challenge which has an S author 😁
Kelly (Maybedog) wrote: "I of course just found a book I want to read with a sword on the cover."always the way!
I'm reading a lovely green for a RL bookclub, but of course so far isn't working for 5 or 7 to be a useful WD4 :(Can I have another opinion on if this is enough green?

Tineye isn't saying so but with the naked eye I'd say it was 50% green if that helps.

Holy cow that's a good one! I added it to the sheet for you.
I have an M/M Romance challenge that has one more week to go for which I have to read only gay romance and as much as possible. After that, though, I have some reverses I can read.
Thanks Lisa and Sophie! I thought so too but nice to get other eyes!
I have finished 2 books. I will try to get my computer working to update the spreadsheet. I did add them to my completed folder for challenges today.
This book I'm reading also has a Yellow 3 - Amanda Hayes
I have a Blue Six if that's still needed:
Just to be sure, as they're not listed on the tracking sheet... we need one of each colour skip too, right?
Sammy wrote: "Just to be sure, as they're not listed on the tracking sheet... we need one of each colour skip too, right?"Yes, sorry I need to update that
I'm sorry, I messed up. I listen to my books on audio and I had the wrong spelling of the name of my blue book so it's not a blue 1. But I have another one that will work. I'll may not get to it until next week though.

Oh, both do! I've already read the first one, Be Fairy Game and you've put it in the READ March sheet. I plan to read this one, Zenith, as well and it's in the spreadsheet as unread. I might not get to Zenith until next week.Oh! Be Fairy Game works for Skip Blue! So if we put Zenith for Blue 6, I can cover both cards.
I can also do Skip Red:
Ok great 👍 I’ll update the read tab tomorrow
Putting this here so I don't forget - Aesop's fables is mpg children and has 25804 words on ar bookfinder UK.

Could someone please add this to our spreadsheet for me? Thank you!
Done, it's in the spreadsheet. Quick question, though, do the characters have to be the protagonists or just general main characters? I'm used to M/M Romance Group challenges where you can only use the ones the romance is between.
It's any character that has a reasonable part in the story.
