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

I finished I don't think it fits anything for the mini challenge. I will update the spreadsheet with it.

One of the books I just started fits #25 on the mini challenge as well. It has a queen and some lords as main characters.

Shaw I think you are right with Smooth Criminal. I was getting the videos mixed up. I don't know a lot of Def Leppard so I go with what matches best.

Here are some of my guesses for the Mini Challenge:

#4,5,6 - BAD - Michael Jackson
#7, 8, 9 - Could be Judas Preist... for the artist
#10,11,12 - Animal - Def Leopard
#13,14,15 - Take on me - A-ha
#16,17,18 - Material Girl -Madonna
#34, 35, 36 - Land Down Under - Men at Work
#37, 38, 39 - Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Taylor
#40, 41, 42 - (I would walk) 500 Miles - The Proclaimers
#43, 44, 45 - I am thinking the band is either Guns and Roses or L.A. Guns. If it is G&R it could be sweet child of mine and if it is LA Guns then it could be One more reason???



These all are guesses. I am pretty sure on 3 of them though, I have only spent a few minutes looking at the clues. I will update this if I come up with anymore possibilities.

I have finished and and updated the spread sheet. I am reading , and
for now.

I updated the spreadsheet with my completed book and I am starting Fire in Frost.

I finished A is for Alibi. I will update the spreadsheet tomorrow.

Next I will start this book which seems pretty blue . I know so far it fits 1, 4, 8, 9, Skip, and Reverse.

I have also started this book . I hope this counts as yellow. Just let me know.

I just finished a book A Sky of Spells. It is book 9 in its series. I will update the spreadsheet later today. I am also reading my green cover book A is for Alibi. There seems to be a few things it will work for.

I have a book that can count for a green 6 .



If this cover counts as yellow this fits the 8 yellow card. I am not sure if there is enough yellow though, so let me know what you think. Thanks.

I finished A Grant of Arms and A Murder of Quality. I updated the R1 books with these. I will look at the color cards now and see what I have for the new hand. I have been busy all week so I haven't had a chance to yet.


I should have read the previous posts earlier but oh well. I have lots more on my options list for next month.

I updated the spread sheet with the A Rite of Swords and the mini challenge book As I read more of the book I will update it with any more points that work for UNO. Right now it doesn't seem like many.

I did finish a book yesterday that I forgot to update. It is A Rite of Swords. It is book 7 in its series. I will update the spreadsheet in the morning.

I just picked up A Murder of Quality by John Le Carre from the library. I will read it and see if it matches anything more than just the mini challenge.

So can we also read other books by this author? According to Good reads he has quite a few other big ones that I have heard of.

Thanks, I didn't see it was a bundle one. That makes sense though.

I just noticed one of the books I just started reading has the wrong number of pages on the book description here in Goodreads. It says 730 pages but there are only 196 pages. It is way different so I don't think it is a version difference thing. Does anyone know how to fix that or if it really even matters to anything?

I finished another book, A Charge of Valor I have updated that one and the one I finished yesterday on the spreadsheet. I could not find the block for color spot so I added one to the end of mine.

I finished The Bend in Redwood Road I will add it to the spread sheet later tonight when I get on the computer.
