Hi team,

I can take on Part 2 for Team Betelgeuse. I'll read the following:
- Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge to connect to Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America by Michael Eric Dyson
- The Royal We by Heather Cocks which connects to Paper Princess by Erin Watt.

I'm with Nicole, please let me know if I'm not understanding this correctly and I'll change my selections. :)

Hi guys,

Which other teams' books do you feel like reading? It looks like Team Betelgeuse, Team Kuiper, Team Musca, and Team Ceres have the most choices. :)

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Here's a completion post (I've added this to the tracker!):

The Silence of the Library by Miranda James

The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman
- Just read this for the challenge and it quickly has become one of my favorite books. Great for anyone that liked Practical Magic or has a fascination with magic/ witchcraft.

The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter
- Also read this one for the challenge. It was intense and descriptive of several different kinds of traumatizing events which happened to the main characters.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid
- I decided to read this book due to the slightly unsettling title and description. It has an interesting ending that seems to cause reactions of love or hate for readers.

Yay!! I ran it through the color extract tool and it came up as majority "maze/ green." But I see yellow/ gold over all, lol. :) Thank you for asking!!

Hi Kate,

We have a lot of sevens to cover :P, does anyone have a yellow book?"

Hi Paula,

The Rules of Magic book is a yellow/gold. I believe it may count but, I will run it through the "color deciding/isolating" website that was posted in the larger UNO group.

Hi Daphne!

I haven't read any of these but may have to steal some for after the challenge. :) They look like good recommendations!

Hi Paula and Team,

It’s so nice to meet you! I’m looking forward to reading with you all. :) This is my first challenge and I’m excited to begin.

I just turned 30 and live in San Diego, CA in the US. I recently started a new job where I travel a lot. So, I listen to audiobooks while I drive or fly which has gotten me very much into reading again. My favorite book genre right now are mystery novels but I’m always trying to explore and am open to any book recommendations.
