The main thing we need to choose as a team if we want to do Tasks A or B (See below). I will add a sheet to our planning sheet soon (today or tomorrow) and then everyone should claim tasks as you want. Please don't claim too many and if you prefer to mood read, feel free to claim tasks after you read the book. Thanks everyone

When I lived in Boston, they had a lucky shelf but not my current library

Glad to see everyone is still here. We will hear more about the min challenge in the next few days, which is always fun.

Tina, glad you are feeling better

Alina, sorry it was no good and hope your next book is better. I just finished a reread as I have been on a run of very average books recently

Glad you enjoyed it. T. Kingfisher is one of my all time favorite authors. Have you read any other by her? Her other MG is Minor Mage, which I really like as well.

Mary,

No worries, no books have been removed. They are just hidden to keep things orderly. If you want to check yours, just click unhide on the column numbers, and there they are (Click where the number jumps from 7 to 22, and they are hiding there).

Hey, if we have not heard for you this week (a Contradiction, Alina, and Tina), please drop by and say hi. We would like to hear from everyone weekly as part of the game.

Also, Tina, hope you are feeling better.

Otherwise, hope everyone is doing well and enjoying your reading

My two color books so far have been only 3 stars each so starting another one tonight and hoping it is better.

was ok but the characterization was just too inconsistent for me and unbelievable.

Great, you need to change the date started on GRs then as that is what officially counts. I’ve been meaning to read it so I’d love to hear how you like it.

Jax, that sounds interesting. Also, could you please add a date read to both your books on your UNO shelf? I did not see one this morning. Thank you

Just a reminder that you cannot use King of Scars as you started it Jan 22, which is before UNO. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy all of them.

Jen, that wasn't one of my favorites but glad you enjoyed it.

Snow day here today but still working from home. However, I should have time to read more. Learning the definition of "lake-effect snow."

Happy UNO start, everyone.

I started my first book as an audio while walking before work this morning.

Almost time to start, I hope everyone is excited.

Countdown:

https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

Only books STARTED after the challenge begins can count. The challenge starts on Tuesday February 1, 2022 at 9am UTC time.

Tina, I hope you feel better soon and no worries on reading, take care of yourself.

Yes for the second half of the month each month is the mini challenge. They are my favorite part. They tend to be very creative. Each team is a fictional place so that will likely effect the theme. I’m excited to see what the mods have planned.
