Me too! I am targeting all the Skips for now as I do have some P & K books lying around.

To that point, if any of you decide on the books that you are going to start with, do mention them here as that will help the others to work on the rest of the deck.

So, just to summarize all our 13 hands for the month of February, here is what we are dealt with.

1 - 6 times | Max. 120 points
2 - 7 times | Max. 140 points
3 - 7 times | Max. 140 points
4 - 7 times | Max. 140 points
5 - 8 times | Max. 160 points
6 - 8 times | Max. 160 points
7 - 7 times | Max. 140 points
8 - 6 times | Max. 120 points
9 - 5 times | Max. 100 points
0 - 3 times | Max. 60 points
Skip - 7 times | Max. 175 points
Reverse - 8 times | Max. 200 points
Draw 2 - 7 times | Max. 175 points
Wild - 3 times | Max. 90 points
Draw 4 - 2 times | Max. 60 points

Hands completed - 13x15 = Max. 195 points
MAX TOTAL POINTS = 2075

Hopefully, this should give us an idea of roughly what kinds of books, with what letters, we need to read in the next month.

Oh, don't worry! The woman inside me just needs an opportunity to come out! :P ;=)

Thank you for the recommendation though. Will have to try these books out. I am always skeptical of starting a series as to whether I'd like it or not, because I hate quitting it mid-way. Hopefully I like this one!

Babitix wrote: "Yes! I love The Bridgertons series!"

I had not heard of this series until now. But, I do want to read Julia Quinn (mostly because I need a Q Author for some or the other challenge :P), but I never knew where to start, since I don't know a lot of people who have read her. This might be my chance to finally read her work. :)

Yaaay! Everyone has checked in! :)
I am so excited to begin now! :D

... and we have a great first hand, 3 Skips, 1 Wild, 1 Reverse! Tons of points!
I do have a few books that I would love to read, that will fit for the Skips.

The fun part of this is that (and this is from my previous experience playing UNO) we can fit in almost every book for some card. So, we can read whatever we want and still have it work for the challenge. :=)

We have a man (Chris) on our team as well, so you are not alone surrounded with a harem of women. (..."

Jose and Chris, you better be cool (and nooo, I am not going to go and stalk you guys! (Said no one ever) :P) or else I am going to hog all the attention of these awesome ladies! :P LOL!

I am sorry, you were saying? ;=)

Hiii Plethora, Elena, Babitix, Carmen, Denise, Rachel, Sassafrass!
So happy to be part of the team.

OKAY! I have a very important question!
Are there any other boys here?

*There better not be or else you will have to tussle with me for attention-rights* :P ;=)

Oh you got it, Abbie! ;=)

Sadly we are not on the same team, but I will have to remeber to stop by and say hi every once in awhile. ."

I KNOOW!
I mean, didn't the mods know that Augustus, Ty & Zane turn my knees into a jelly? *starts dreaming*
And that Ove is the craziest old man I have ever met? *LOL*
And that Eve is so kickass that she can do any crazy stuff and still be awesome? *wowza*
And Mr. Poirot is so no-nonsense that the criminal has to admit to things he hasnt even done? :P

Mods?! Don't you scold me if you find me loitering around now onwards! ;=) :P

... and watch out Elizabeth Bennett, you will find me on your couch often, because you have the Awesome Abbie! Yaay!

... and yes, before my team thinks that they have got a dude with a roving eye for his book crushes, you are my buddies now, so I am going to be there to have loads of fun with all of you! :D

*off to stalk Augustus and Ty*

There are teams names called Augustus Waters, Ty & Zane, Ove, Eve Dallas, and Hercule Poirot!!
Oh, you cheeky little cute Mods! <3

This is going to be sooo much fun! :D

Yaaaaaay!

Abbie wrote: "OMG that would be so awesome! I miss you, you kind of disappeared there for a bit.."

I knoooow! I missed you too!
That stupid thing called 'real life' happened. Ugh! :P But, here I am! Can't really stay away, can I? :D
We have soooooo much fun when we are in a team...
*Hey mods, *pokes, winks** :P

Abbie wrote: "Just waiting for the teams to be posted!
Ready to see who I might be playing with this year."

What if we end up on the same team, Abbie?
LOL! :D

Update

Probably my final book for the challenge !
What a journey !

Fittingly, my last book is :
The End of the Affair | Graham Greene | 29Apr2015

From what I see is remaining in the Spreadsheet, it fits :
0 : Standalone
4 : Character F (Father Crompton)
5 : Character F (Father Crompton)

Apparently, thats the max GoodReads can resolute their images.
Does anyone have a way ? Beth/Laura, do you want me to send it to you in any other form ?
