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

I finally finished one of my books. I should finish my red one very soon as well.

I have 2 left available in Libby (4 on hold), like 6 waiting in Borrowbox and wait too many on Audible and Kindle. I find I prioritise Libby and Borrowbox as they have time restraints.

I recently signed up for a library card with my now local library. We moved like a year and a half ago and I only just got around to doing it.
Anyway, it now means I have access to two library apps and I have been going through my TBR with them and finding books which have been sitting on my TBR for too long but I now have access to.
I have so many options now and I'm finding it hard to resist starting new books before finishing ones I have already started!

Don't worry about it, Sally. These things happen to the best of us.

They are on the tracking spreadsheet. We only move them over to the offical spreadsheet once books are complete.

I would say it's a spice. But I'm not an expert on these things.

Done.

That also means we have enough claimed for the author initials.

I am on my nights off now so I should be able to finish up a few books.

I also found some options for the mini including a couple that will work for the direction in title one. I want to get close to finishing my current books first before I start claiming any more.

I'm back at work tonight for the next 4 nights. My 'weekend' starts on Wednesdays.

I'm flying home today so I'm hoping on starting (maybe even finishing) my shortest book on the journey home if I don't fall asleep.

I haven't had a chance to check the spreadsheets while I've been away so I'm excited to see how much you guys have completed!

Lisa, this weather is very out of character so it should be fine for your trip (or at least nowhere near as stormy).

Some houses/buildings lost their roofs. Technically the buildings are made to withstand harsh weather so should have been okay, but I guess someone cut corners when building those buildings.

We had lovely weather on our first day which was in Oslo. We just then followed the stormy weather more up North where my boyfriend lives.

Sammy, my boyfriend often complains I send the weather his way (especially during a heatwave when they get the hot weather a day or two after us) so I guess they are returning the favour this time.

As expected, I have not read anything while I have been away. It has been very stormy. Norway had it's worst storm in 30 years. We were without WiFi for 24 hours. Luckily we still had power.

My first couple of planned books are quite short so I should be able to catch up quite quick once I'm back home.

Just a reminder that I will be away for the first week of this challenge and that it unlikely I will finish any books during that time. I will still be able to check Goodreads at least once a day to help with any questions.

Personally, I would say both colours are green.

I just added a couple of books to the spreadsheet. I've only added books I definitely want to read as they are on my TBR. I won't be adding anymore until after the challenge has started now as I don't want to burden myself with too much and then struggle to keep up.

doesn't need to be used for a red (or WD4). I noticed it on my library app and as it has been on my TBR since 2012 it seemed like it was a sign to finally read it. It has plenty of options including Reverse.

I finally had time to stalk all of your read lists. I have plenty of options for reverse cards if/when we need them. I also have Audible Plus so if anyone has any recommendations for anything on there then feel free to throw them my way.

I dread to think what my vitamin D levels are like. Working nights, I sleep when the sun is out and at the moment I drive home as the sun is just rising.

My trip at the end of the month/ beginning of Feb is to Norway. Some of you already know that my boyfriend lives there (and is Norwegian) and my plan is to move there. This time my mum is coming with me for the first time which is why it is just a short trip and also why I probably won't have time to read much.

On a UNO related note, I will be stalking all your Read lists when I next have a day off.

Hello all, I am you co-captain for this year of UNO!
I live in the UK bur I work nights so I'm not awake when most people in the UK are. I will pretty much read anything although I prefer something with a bit of mystery or adventure in it.

A side note: I will be away when the challenge begins. I get home late on the 6th of Feb. I will still check the thread at least daily, but I probably won't have time to do any spreadsheet stuff or actually read but I will have a few days after before I go back to work to catch up.

Looking forward to a fun UNO with you all!
