I can't remember! I read quite a few of hers before I used goodreads to record what I've read. She is a great author.

Do we have list of our cards for March?"

Our cards for March are in the spreadsheet linked in the very first post.
We have SO MANY FIVES in the first few cards :(

It's officially March for the UNO challenge now - any books completed will count for March cards.

Good job in Feb Team Ceres!

Ashley wrote: "So if I read does it count as reverse because Lauri already read it?"

Yes, it will count as a reverse.

Loved it!

Thanks Lauri!
I've added it to the last hand.
If you have time to pop past Team Mensa to make a comment that you read their recommended book, we can get some extra points in the mini-challenge.
Don't worry if you can't, it's only 5 points :)

Just under 8 hours left! It's my day off today so I can add any last minute Feb reads for the team, just pop a completion post onto the thread straight away!

I'll post again to confirm when the countdown has switched over to March.

Ashley wrote: "Could someone please let me know if the book I started today can be counted towards UNO, if I don't finish it until March."

Yes, we can use it for March :)

Added to spreadsheet :)

I still have you down to read The Bear and the Nightingale for the mini challenge.
Can you let me know if you will get it done in time - if not, I can use another Patricia Briggs book, I will just need to post on the other teams thread before we switch over to March :)

Yep, it will count for March :)

Ashley wrote: "Just curious as to why all the Draw 2 cards have a zero in the place for points."

We don't actually get points for a Draw 2 card - instead we can use one book for two cards in that hand...so you kinda get double points for one book :)

Hi Team Mensa!
Thank you for recommending Moon Called - it had been on my TBR for ages, and it was awesome! Straight onto the next one in the series...

Did anyone else want to read another book from Team Mensa?
If not, I'm happy to do another one.

Can you also please let me know if any of your recently completed reads were STARTED after Feb 14 so I can try and apply them to Part 2 of the mini-challenge?

Only a few days left in February!!
