You can count on 7 Blue, I'll probably finish Addie LaRue in a couple of days, it's pretty good!

Ok, so I'll save Verity for later. I'll see if I can find a green 9. Maybe Voyager has something with N, a character or place? It could still work. Green covers seem hard to get by.

Yeah I will read Verity. I'll add to the spreadsheet.

For the Green 7 I could read Verity.

I just finished One of Us and and it's a Blue 7 :D.

I have a question. If one book qualifies for two things for one card, like Author and Character with F. Does it counts as two cards or just one?

I don't know if you tried Amy Harmon, I've read Where the Lost Wander and What the Wind Knows, I liked both very much.

@Felicity, I saw this in a mod thread:

Regarding the colored Cards: Can the book be any cover...does it have to be the cover for the version you are reading?
It needs to be the edition you are reading.

@Felicity Book... sampling? I've never done that, and it makes sense when you have several attractive options. I'll definitely try it.

Hi.
I usually read 3 at a time. Probably going to start with one of the longest and two medium pace.

The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer
So You Want to Talk About Race
The Chapo Guide to Revolution: A Manifesto Against Logic, Facts, and Reason (this one is suppose to be funny).

I should start with The Stand since is 1,348 pages long (yikes), but I probably will dedicate a whole week just to this one. Maybe the last week.

Have you set up your UNO Shelf? I guess this will help sort out the spreadsheet, to see how we're doing with the hands.

@Kaylee good luck with you midterms! If you need any help with the group/spreadsheet let me know.

Don't worry, it probably was a result of us working on it at the same time, the updates were all over the place. It seems we all are enthusiastic about planning.

I noticed that three of my books disappeared, so I inserted rows and added them again. Probably were lost in the mix up we had earlier.

@Kaylee , if we want to add another book, do we add it at the end or do we insert rows so they are with our other books?

Vivi wrote: "@Veronica,
You have double entered some of your books on the spreadsheet. There's duplicates (at least to me it appears that way).

Want to erase the duplicates or want me to do it?"

I just checked and I don't see any duplicates, maybe in the chaos we had earlier it appeared that way. But if you see any duplicates feel free to erase, thanks!

Sorry! So that's why I saw those strange looking cells colored with funny names moving around, hehe. It's my first time working with a shared spreadsheet. I'm done :D.

Hi everyone!

My name is Veronica and I'm from Mexico. I'm a homemaker, mother of three children and a PhD Candidate in Physics. This is my first time playing and I'm very excited, seems like a lot of fun!

About my reading habits, I read a lot more non-fiction but lately I've been adding more fiction to my diet, classics and contemporary. My favorite genres of non fiction are science, psychology, sociology and history. And for fiction I prefer science fiction, suspense, mystery, fantasy and horror. I also love classics and literary fiction. I consume books in all formats, books, e-books and audio, so I always have a book with me.

I love music (listen and play), cooking and of course, reading. I drink my coffee black, but I get the sweetness from pastries, those things are my weakness, and since quarantine I learned to do a lot of those at home, and oh what a big mistake that was haha.

It's seems I've been assigned as co-captain, and I have no idea what my role is, but I'm on board. My email is vapatron@gmail.com.

Nice to meet you all!

Hello everyone, feel free to add me. Always looking for recommendations and reviews. My tastes are slightly on the non-fiction side, but I do love fiction as well.

Hi! I'm Veronica, a mom and PhD student from Mexico. Books have always been a big part of my life. Lately I read mostly non-fiction, but I'm trying to explore more literature of all types. I hope i find a lot of great book suggestions in this group.
