Great, thanks for checking.

we will likely use the book for the "V" task but I just wanted to know if the option was available.

No Super Bowl for me. I hope to be reading and not doing laundry. I do want to catch the half-time show though. I want to see what Lady Gaga is going to do.

I have a question. If I read The Viscount Who Loved Me can we use it for Reverse if Barbara read O Visconde Que Me Amava which is the same book but in Portuguese?

Nope, not too much to ask at all. I just didn't know that we were supposed to. Now that I know, I'll make sure to do it when I'm finished with book.

Whatever makes it easier for you guys to maximize the points is what we should do. :)

Since I have never played before, I will defer to the pros to determine how best to use the books but it sounds good to me.

Book Completion:

Sorry, I added all that to the spreadsheet. I didn't know we were to add it here too. I'm on my phone now but will post here later when I can get to a computer.

I hope you're feeling better Bookworm.

I have to admit, I try to avoid most NF stuff. But, I've picked up some great books recently that I'm interested in reading. Mostly social justice stuff which is very near and dear to my heart.

@Apoorv, I liked the way you described "a good slow-burn romance". YUM.
What are some of your favorites? What about MM. I read MM but I'm not an exclusive MM reader. And if I had to pick a second favorite genre it would be Urban Fantasy. I love me some kick-ass heroines!

Hi all! It's been kinda quiet on here but I hope everyone's excited to start. I know I am. this will be my first time playing UNO!

With the REVERSE card we have to read something that another team member has read. So that go me to thinking about what types of book everyone likes to read.

Me, I read just about everything but my favorite Genre is romance. I'll read pretty much any sub-genre as long as I get my HEA.

What about everyone else?

Ok, I've got some strong possibilities for February. Most of which I need to get done next month for other things. a lot of the books work for more than one option so they can be used for Draw two as well!


Strong Possibles for February:

1 - Lost Lake (Lost Lake, #1) -- must read
2 - The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgertons, #2) (or 7)
Blood Vow (Black Dagger Legacy, #2)
3 -
4 -
5 - Etched in Bone (The others, #5) or (8) -- must read
Imitation in Death (title) or 8 (character Eve Dallas) -- must read
6 - Silence Fallen (or use author for Skip) -- must read
7 -
8 - Easy Kisses (or 4)
9 - Chasing Nikki (character, Nikki) or (1) -- must read
0 - About That Fling (Standalone)

Skip - Pucked (or #1 or #3))
Pucked Up (or #2 or #3)
Reverse -
Draw 2 -
Wild -
Draw 4 -

Thanks for that Apoorv! That's really helpful. I'm going to searching my shelves now.

Hi Elena!!! You've got quite the menagerie there. I never had pets before growing up because my mom hates animals. But, we got a dog for my kids and she ended up becoming MY BABY! LOL And now we've got a puppy too. So I went from never having a pet to having two. I'm an animal lover for life now. :)

I am so excited to begin now! :D

I'm going to have to bone up on the rules a little bit more before the playing starts.

But, I'm happy to hear that we can pretty much read whatever we want and then plug it in. But, I'm more than willing to try to find books that fit as needed.

My Uno Shelf

Hello all! I'm happy to be here. :)
