Jonnie’s Comments (group member since Mar 29, 2016)

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

I finished my second book The Ones You Trust. I will add to the spreadsheet. There are a lot of things it can be used for. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and Skip. If anyone else has read it let me know so we can see if it could be another reverse.

I finished The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas.

That is what I was thinking, but I figured I would ask. I know it counts for a 0, 2, 6, Skip, and Reverse.

Would the Boy in the Stripped Pajamas count as blue? I picked that one first cause I wanted to read it, especially since my son read it in school already.

I so miss snow and cold weather. I wish it were winter here.

I have started my first one

I created a new UNO folder for my completed books, I had been putting my options in the first folder. This way it will be easier for the leaders and moderators to review the read ones for the challenge. Here is the link. https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I know I selected a Reverse card for this first hand and my book A is for Alibi can be a reverse as well as a color card. I saw it on Shaw's read list as well as another one I plan on reading called Fire in Frost . Just let me know where they are needed since they are not related to any series I have already started.

Here is a list of some of my other color books and what they work for so you guys can see if they fit any color cards any month of the challenge. . It also works for 1, 6, 9, Skip, and Reverse. . Also works for 1, 4, and Skip. . Also works for 1. . Also works for 1. 0, 6, and 9.


I know that was a lot. If you need me to change the way I listed it to make more sense, just let me know. Thanks.

I have another book color question. Would The German Midwife count as blue? I am not sure if it is quiet half of the cover.

The Time Traveler's Wife

I filled in the spreadsheet with a book I can start for the first hand being a reverse. But I also have a lot of books that would fit for 8 and since we need four 8's for the first hand I can switch to a different one if I need to to finish the hand quicker. Just let me know before the start date. Thanks.

Ok Thanks. I will note that on my settings.

Do you want us to list all of our books in the UNO folder on here so we all can see what can be read for each category or do you just want the ones we read on here? I just created a spread sheet with all of my books so I can read the most useful ones.

So I have another question. If the setting of a book is Chicago, Illinois can I still use for a 5 (setting starts with an I) or since Chicago is the specific place would C be the letter for the setting?

The Bend in Redwood Road Would you consider this a green cover? I would, but I want to make sure. Thanks

Hi, everyone. I am from Ohio, but currently living in Brisbane Australia. So I am about13-15 hours ahead of you all. I am currently a stay at home mom so I do have a decent bit of free time. I will try to go through my books to see where they best fit so I can add then to the appropriate areas.

I like to read mostly suspense, mystery, horror, and YA dystopian novels. But I have been trying to expand my reading base and I read a lot with my kids. I look forward to talking to you all through out this challenge. Good luck and I hope we all have some fun.

So I am checking to see if this post is open and working now.

Team Flashdance here. I am excited to get going on this challenge. Sadly I am not on my favourite movie team, The Lost Boys, but I am sure the company of my team will still be awesome.
