Lexi’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

Thanks, Mary and Jax

Mary, glad you got some reading in and hope you get some rest now that you are home.

Ella, we should get the card for March in the next few days or so since we have 8 days left this month.

Also, we have about a week left. If anyone won't finish a book please remove it from the mini or color card so we know what needs to be filled. Thanks

Ash road works great, word count is fine so you can go ahead with that one.

Elisabeth wrote: "I found this in one of our bookshelves: Ash Road

It's classed YA so it should qualify as not a necssarily a children's book. A quick read."

It still has Childrens as main page genre so we still have to check but it is over 50,000 words so you are good.

From the mods:
"City is too broad a term and won't be accepted in this instance. The examples listed point to more specific words of address."
Sorry, Jax

Let me go ask since while a city is in every address, the word city is not.

We are doing great everyone on the mini. The only hard one unclaimed is:

25. Read a book with the title or series title containing a word of address (e.g.: avenue, alley, road, street, lane, square, park, etc.)

We seem to be ok for now but I’ll check again closer to the end of the month. Thank you for asking

That is fine. I was just trying to find a work-around for you. I hope you are enjoying reading it either way.

Posting in this group for Ella, in case it was missed before:

Ella, I jut realized that you have read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue in Sept 2021. That is less than 6 months ago so we cannot use the book for Feb UNO. Note Rules: "Re-reads are ok provided it has been more than 6 months since last read"

However, we might be able to use it next month if you don't finish before March 5th, but I would need to ask the mods if the 6 month is finish or start date. Either way, it won't work as a blue card for this month.
I have removed it from the SS for this month. Feel free to ask any clarifying questions.

Welcome back, Tina. Hope you are feeling better.

Ella, I wrote you a note in the captains group. Go read it there please. Everything is explained on where books are moved. Generally that is a good place to look first.

That is great. Thank you

Please guide me here."

You only have to prove wordcount for children's, poetry, comics, travel books, and illustrated books. No illustrator is credited and it does not say illustrated in the blurb, such as for this book How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories. If it is illustrated than you can't use it, as we can't prove wordcount. Wordcounters just uses an average word per a page calculator and does not account for spacing or pictures. Hope that helps.

Due to some moving books around, we need a Blue 5 (letter I or 5 in series or title) if someone has one they want to read?

It looks blue to me so I think you are good.

Anyone should feel free to bump any of mine. I was just playing around and except for God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, which I need for blue. I am flexible.

That is a good idea and I just added a column. Also, it is direction in text and not title, so that may be easier to find.

A Psalm for the Wild-Built works for builder in title if anyone has not read it and likes very charming, peaceful scifi

Edit: I found another one that works - Buffalo Gals and Other Animal Presences.

Note: each piece of furniture can only be used once so only one bench, one shelf etc.
