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

Hi everyone!

Just checking in! This is my second UNO challenge and I'm really looking forward to getting started :)

I'm located in Melbourne, Australia and my favourite genres are mysteries and thrillers, but happy to read outside of them for the challenge :)

Congratulations to Team Sculptor! Thank you mods for setting up such a great challenge.

No worries Allison! The most important thing is that we all had fun :) I enjoyed it so much, I've actually signed up for another team challenge - Tower Teams VI over on the Nothing but reading challenges group :)

Book: The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
Date Read: 30th April 2018

Cards book fits/Reason book fits:
Hand no. 12 - Wild (Duplicates reverse card: Read by Trinia)

April mini:
no. 19 - Page 281: "I visited the optometrist, the hairdresser..."

I can fill a wild card with The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. It would duplicate the reverse card (Trinia has read the book).

I'm currently reading The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion.


It could be used for the wild card in hand no. 7 (It fits the 1, red card in the same hand) or any of the reverse cards (Read by Trinia).

For the mini-challenge, it can cover no. 1, 11, 36 & 58. I'll let you guys know if it fits any of the other unclaimed tasks.

You think that after the culprit is apprehended, that's the end of the story. But you find out they had an accomplice, someone very unexpected.

How did you like Never Let Me Go? Would you recommend it?"

Hi Laura,

I started reading the book with no idea what it was really about, which was a first for me. I didn't love it, but I think it's a worthwhile read.
