How's everyone feeling about their reading? I feel like we're making good progress! And we've got the mini coming up soon, so that'll be a fun one to keep track of 😊Thanks everyone for the details you've been adding to the tracking sheet! This has been great. I have a couple of follow ups included below. Also, if there is anything that's already in there that you've read, please add that to the Reverse column/column S. We have 5 more of those to complete, and those can be tricky to fill up as we close out the month.
Ariel, could you add a read date for Latte Darling? Once that's in, we'll be able to add to our team sheet. And it looks like At Last needs to be added to your Uno shelf.
Kelly, I think you said you're traveling, but when you're back at your computer, it'd be great if you could add a link for Boy Trouble.

The minis should be posted soon. That's a good reminder to maybe hold off on completing some books till about mid month. If you can, no pressure! I'm almost done with
and am halfway through
, but I may slow roll at least the latter one.

I'm listening to
and I'm about 30% through and still don't fully know what it's about 🙃. At least it's cozy enough for me to just power through the next day or so!
Jessica wrote: "refresh me on book length requirement? I started this quick novella. goodreads says it's 4 pages (it's not), but it's just under 4 hours"It has to be 100 pages long.
Happy Uno!!!
It has truly been such a long month!! I cannot wait for Saturday. I feel like we could all use another fresh start to the year.
Assuming you didn't just finish it, then yes, I'd recommend trying to refresh a bit. I ended up watching some 15-minute recap videos. That definitely helped, though I was still pretty lost at the beginning lol
I somehow managed to snag the audio for Onyx Storm from Libby right when it came out. And I’ve still got 40% left! 😩 I keep having to pause and read certain passages in my physical copy, or google one of the 500 characters. Hoping I can power through and wrap up by Friday, that way I can hit the ground running with my blue card read on Saturday.
Thanks for checking in, Cris! Great to have you on the team 😊

Welcome, Jodi! It's great to have you on the team. Especially given how everyone is crafty/crafty collectors 😊
If you wouldn't mind accepting my friend request, that'd be great. This way we can monitor your Uno shelf once the tournament officially kicks off.

"Yeah, I think that last one might be a bit too orange. But the other two work!

So many! I'm going to look into these 😊

Welcome, Ariel!
And for the fun stuff, I think my favorite part of this challenge is filling out the tracking sheet 🫣 (and really, checking off the box when I finish the book). So I'm going to take a look to see what I'm in the mood for/what color cards I might be able to complete and add those in.
Alright ladies, a little bit of business. I looked through the uno shelves and made some updates to my earlier post.Cris, it doesn't look like you have an uno shelf for this year. Could you go ahead and create one? (Or let me know if I totally missed it.) And Jodi, I sent you a friend request, so I'll be able to confirm we're all squared away once you accept.

Welcome MH! I'm a big fan of Nordic crime, too, though I haven't read some in a while. Do you have any favorite series/authors?
Kelly wrote: "Hey! I’m Kelly and I live in New Zealand. I’m currently doing my teaching recertification in between working in a school and parenting. I’ll read almost anything, but right now I’m trending towards..."Hi Kelly, welcome! Collecting things is my favorite. Like my book collection - maybe one day I'll actually read them all. What kind of crafts do you collect?
Also, what kind of litRPG do you recommend? I read the first two Dungeon Crawler Carl ones, but haven't gotten into another series.
Hi team! Excited to kick off Uno soon!I'm the team's co-captain, and this is my fourth Uno challenge. Heather is the one who introduced me to Uno, so I'm excited to be doing another challenge with her as the team captain!
I live in the LA area with my dog, Chorizo, who is a cute handful. I really enjoy reading romance, fantasy, and mysteries/thrillers. I'm aiming to dabble a bit more with sci-fi this year. Outside of that, I love keeping up with movies and shows, building my Lego collection, and relaxing with some coloring books.
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
