Uh oh! I guess it's bound to happen for some of us with these popular books. How was it though? This one ha..."

It was a good read but I prefer The Sun Down Motel and The Broken Girls better.

Yes I have this too, so I can answer DQs.

The Book of Cold Cases (Starts 2nd June): https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show..."

I just read The Book of Cold Cases a couple of months ago for UNO! 🤦‍♀️😭

We live in an apartment so we cannot have a pet dog or cat. We have a fish though. 😂

Oh before I forget, I have 44 dog
(view spoiler)[ BUTTONS!! 🤣🤣🤣 (hide spoiler)]

I like planning books as well, but I prefer to add them when I finish it. Sometimes, I have books that I placed the hold suddenly becomes available at the library and my timeline changes too.

Hi everyone, I'm Cris!! I live in Iowa (Midwestern US). I've been married for 25 years (yikes, I'm old!), have a son just finishing up his first year of college, and a very ..."

Hi Cris! I've been wanting to find out family's ancestry as well. Are the family tree websites worth paying for?

I love the Stephen Fry edition of the HP series. :)

I second you Suzanne with this. Every time I get into a bad narrator, no matter how good the book is, it's already ruined for me.

@Anna - Hahaha scream at other drivers! This is so normal with my husband 😂😂😂

Give it a try Vikki! It's really enjoyable ☺️

Either you watch Ted Lasso now - it's really quick and easy to get through (although tw for (view spoiler)) and I promise you will LOVE IT!! - or you wait until s3 (possibly its last season) is out at the end of the year and then binge the whole thing in one go. Either way it's gonna be great but just know that appletv will only release one episode a week which is gonna be realllll hard for me lol"

It was my husband who mentioned it to me that Ted Lasso was good and he wants to try it too so I gathered all my sources to get the first season haha. We'll probably start it before the summer. I don't mind waiting because I am not a binge watcher like I can stop watching an episode and continue it the next day. Okay, enough of me now, I talk too much. 🙈😁😂

I'm Ushashi, from India. I'll be your captain for this challenge. This is my second Tower Teams and first nbrc challenge as captain, so please bear with me. I've been hooked to team c..."

Hi everyone! I'm Alyana from Queens, NY. Originally from the Philippines. I'm a mother of a 7 year old, I was a full time mom for 7 years and just got back to the working world. This is my second tower teams and Ushashi was right, I'm partly at fault for getting her hooked to team challenges.

More about me, I read different genres but mostly psycho-thrillers, mysteries, crime, romance and occasionally historical fiction. Not much of a fan of sci-fi-fantasy/dystopia but if needed, always willing to give it a shot. I usually do audiobooks which makes my reading faster. I am also addicted with any challenge I can join here in Goodreads and earning some buttons!

Ushashi, your work sounds interesting and intimidating at the same time. Good luck with your thesis.

Alisha, I just started working at the library this year as a page and I am loving it! I can listen to books while working. Hoping to be a librarian when my kid gets older.

Christina, some tasks intimidate me but I will try everything to earn BOM points too! haha. Ted Lasso is also on my watchlist but due to many books and other shows that I'm watching, I am having a hard time to start this one. 😁

It's so nice to virtually meet everyone from different parts of the world! I'm so excited to start!

Oh that's sad Bernadette! I hope this round will turn to be much better for your team. I agree with Carrie that it really helps to have an experienced player(s) in a team.

Our team also is close to the bottom ranking although we finished a little early last round. I guess our cards are so so as well.

Thanks for the link Carrie! I have to think about signing up as I'm overloaded with other challenges.

if this traveling will start again I would like to join back ."

Hi Pooja, this is our last trip together as a team. NBRC discontinued this challenge but they opened a new similar one. Take a look.

I'm going to miss you all! How are your UNO so far?

I got no U here.. So I'm good :)

April wrote: "I thought this one was all over. I am so sorry. Which one are on now??"

Hi April, we are on our final trip and we are spelling out Petropavlovsk, Russia.

Carrie wrote: "Looks like 1 is our winner!

Alyana - do you want to fill in the missing letter with your book then? Thanks!"

Done! :)

I vote for 1

Glad to know you're all well Shy. :)

Carrie wrote: "Looks like all we have left is N!"

Looks like April have not read a book yet. I have a book for N if no one will claim it.
