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

I always try a short story collection when I'm feeling like that !!

Happy Friday everyone!!!! I've almost made it through midterms season at school (pray for me). I had to read a book to write an essay this weekend so I put that on the sheets and I am hoping to be able to finish my audiobook and physical book next week when things calm down :D

How is everyone else doing??

Finally finished my first book: reading for school is sooo slow and annoying. Excited to move onto more exciting stuff :D.

Question: I have a book written by Tommy Orange... think that could count for the fruit mini portion? I know they say title or text but...

Woohoo this is so exciting!

Recommendation if anybody hasn't read it: I recently read Exit West for class and highlyyy recommend. Extremely relevant to the current state of the world as well. Works for the mini-challenge!

49ers for me!!! (Also an Arsenal fan…. Awkward ;))

Hey team! I'm about 75% through my first read for February. Hope the first week of the challenge is off to a good start for all of you :D

oooooh greek soccer! I am a huge soccer fan but haven't ventured outside of the prem and the MLS.

I realllllly admire that you're reading so much at one time! I really wish I could manage this but my brain starts confusing everything lol!

I've been really wanting to read this one! I usually hesitate with celebrity books but I've heard such great things about it. LMK what you think of it Kaley!

WOOHOOO! Happy challenge start everyone!

What is everyone starting off with today? Im starting with White Fang just because I was supposed to read a chunk of it for class last week and didn’t because of the challenge LOL. Time to catch up!

t-minus a week till the start of the challenge!! Here are the colored books that we still have unclaimed: anybody have anything on their TBR that could fit for these? We also have 2 more Wild Draw 4s, which duplicate color cards of our choice.

I went to the library on Saturday and already got my books for February. Now I have them in my nightstand and it's been very difficult to resist them! But I do have some to finish, a..."

Love a library moment :) I work for Barnes and Noble so I get 50% off books but it also means I spend too much money on books and have so many I haven't read!!!

Haha! I was on a Sarah J. Maas kick yearsss ago with the Throne of Glass series, and since her newer stuff blew up I am scared to dig myself back in.

Hiii everyone happy Monday!! I'm currently making my way through house of leaves and I'm really hoping to finish it by the start of the challenge but Idk if thats possible, lol. Crazy book. I'm also working on getting as ahead of school work as I can to free up reading time at the start!

Welcome everyone! So exciting to learn more about everyone and their pets. I forgot to include that I have a cat named Flan (pronounced like fluh-an, not the dessert lol).

Also super excited to see that we are coming from all over the world for the challenge :D Do y'all have favorite books from authors in your area/that take place in your area?

Here are some big Philly ones!:
The Lovely Bones
Such a Fun Age
With the Fire on High

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this because I had no idea either lol perhaps a pre-uno screening is necessary to get into the team mindset ;)

I went ahead and claimed 2 green cards in the shared spreadsheet: one of them I have to read for school in February anyway and the other I just got an audiobook for! So excited to be reading for cards again :D

hello everyone! I'm Kaylee, and I'll be your co-captain for uno this year!

I am currently a sociology and public health student in Philadelphia, PA (home of the U.S. ;)). I really love contemporary fiction, non-fiction about social issues, and romance when I have time. A lot of my reading time the last few years has been taken up by reading for school but a resolution for me (that I have been able to keep up so far..) is reading for pleasure more! I've been a captain for UNO in the past, but haven't played since 2021.

excited to meet and get to know all of you. I sent everyone a friend request as well: hopefully I can find some good reccs on your shelves!! I think it is so funny that our captain team is Kaley and Kaylee: hopefully we don't get confused haha!

heres my uno shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Woo! Great job guys! I worked too much yesterday and didnt get the spread updated but it’ll get done. Thanks for being a great flexible team this year!
