Cat you are so fast!! I'm going to get started on Kadin today :)

Sorry for not posting so much! I started a new job and have been reading training materials all day which has somewhat killed the joy of reading. :)

I liked Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children but haven't yet read the sequels. You're making me want to re-read it because I could not get into the sequels after the gap in time between the first and secondary books!

It was a good, quick read which is perfect for the UNO challenge. :) It is mostly fantasy but has a bit of history (WWII) and romance which I loved, at the time.

Two requests of the team:
- check-in regularly, and let me or Cally know if you need to drop out / reduce involvement / whathaveyou. It's a fun ga..."

I'm good with this (genius) plan! I'll read Kadin for Reverse. :)

Hi guys, I'm Cally! Sorry for not posting earlier! But, nice to meet you all.

I'm located in California in the San Diego-ish area (meaning I live an hour from the city and my town has limited everything, haha). ;-)

Here's my Uno folder: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Thank you so much for being a great leader, Paula!

This was a tough challenge but worth it and I'm glad to have met everyone! I hope to see you all next year and in other challenges too. :)

Hi team,

Just finished my last books:

Hi Paula,

It would be the Elizabeth Bennet character and the Mr. Darcy character. :) They go on a couple walks/ jogs in the book that are significant to their relationship development. The author was attempting to make their story like the original Pride & Prejudice with the countryside walks...but the 21st century version of that. :P

Welcome guys!!

And, congrats Paula on your new job...that is so exciting! You're going to do great. ;)

HI guys,

Apologies for not checking in earlier! I will enter my completion posts this weekend. I just started a new job and things have been a bit crazy.

Hope everyone's having a good week!

Hi everyone!

I'm starting off the month with a couple new books:
- Sleep Like a Baby by Charlaine Harris
- I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara

I'll add these to the tracker over the weekend. :)

Hi guys,

These two books can be connected to books in Team Kuiper (I think)! :)
- Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge to connect with The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. Both books cover fatal attacks by police officers of innocent individuals.
- The Royal We by Heather Cocks which can connect with So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson. Both books discuss the impact of social media and overwhelming analysis of individuals through the media.

Hi guys,

I finished the two books I posted about (finally) for the mini-challenge:
- Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge to connect with Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America by Michael Eric Dyson for Team Betelgeuse.
- The Royal We by Heather Cocks which can connect with Paper Princess by Erin Watt for Team Betelgeuse.

It may be too late but if we still need them! I can try to see if they match Team Kuiper!
