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

I'm currently reading The Martian Chronicles. It can fit in with Part II of the mini challenge as one of the team members of Team Neptune recommended The Martian. They're both set in mars and also have a similar title.

I finished reading Leviathan Wakes by James S A Corey. It fits the cards 1,2,3,6,8,9 and Skip. Not sure if it fits Reverse.. I have already updated the tracking sheet and my UNO shelf.

Hi! I'm from Team Sculptor! Here are the books that I can't stop thinking about:

1. The Worm at the Core - I'm not a huge non-fiction reader. But, I'm so glad that my friend made me read this. It explores the theory that most of our behaviour is directly influenced by our fear of death. It messes with your mind and is almost inspiring in a way without actually intending to be.

2. Neverwhere/Coraline - Anything by Neil Gaiman actually.

3. Mistborn series - I pride myself on my ability to figure out any major plot twist well before it happens. However, Mistborn continues to surprise me. And the plot twists actually make sense.

4. Animal Farm - I know everyone has read it and I was possibly the last one to read it. But this is one of my favourite classics. So.. I figured I'll include this here as well.

Finished and I've updated the tracking sheet..

Hey! Sorry for being ignorant... but what's Popsugar?
Also, it's quite good.. kind of like a dark fairy tale.. :D

Hello everyone! I just finished reading The Graveyard Book and have updated the spreadsheet..

Hi everyone! I'm Sreshtha. I reside in Kolkata (same as Kunal), India. I'm 21 and I'm a student. I'm expecting to be super busy this year but I'll try my best to read as much as possible.
Also, this is my second time playing the UNO challenge. Last year, I pushed myself to read books that I wouldn't have read otherwise. And I discovered some great authors along the way. I'm already excited for the mini challenges.
Sass - I hate it when the temperature falls to 14℃ in here. Can't even imagine what -14℃ would feel like.

Okay! I'll add it to my UNO shelf

Kadi - I can understand the feeling. Now, I'm thinking of red velvet cakes. xD

And I checked. All my books are in the shelf except 'Weird Things Customers Say in A Bookshop" because I don't think it fit any of the requirements.

Elise - I actually updated this month's books according to the group timing. So, it was after the challenge started.

And you're absolutely right!! It gave me a lot of perspective. Edna's character was imperfect but also somewhat inspiring. I was drawn to her need for independence. Her way of claiming it wasn't always morally justifiable but at the same time, you understand that it was due to how repressed she was. It was one of the most effective feminist books that I've read even though it's fiction.

And... how was the wedding? This must have been an exciting month for you!!!

Ok! I'm reading it then! :D
this book has an insane number of side characters who can cover up at least 9 card requirements

Hi! I'm reading Velocity by Dean Koontz which could work for 7 Yellow card.. Is anyone reading a book for it already?

Thank you all for smashing out February - amazing effort.

Big thank you to Kadi for manning the thread - I'm getting married at the end of..."
Congrats, Elise! :D

It was really good! I loved the characters specially. And the plot was good and unlike anything I've read in the fantasy genre. :D

How was Wonder? I've only heard good reviews of the book!

Just completed A Darker Shade of Magic which was read by Sarah of Team Ron Weasley and published in February

Thanks for letting me know. I have made the changes. :)

Done reading The Sky Is Everywhere which was added by Maria Helena on February.

I'll read The Sky is Everywhere added/read by Maria Helena in February if no one else is reading for the last spot in the read/added in Feb

Ooh!! That's a good choice. I have always wanted to read Chronicles of Narnia but somehow, never got around to it.
And you're right. I was going through the reviews for A Monster Calls and a lot of people mentioned that they couldn't really get into his other books but they really liked this one. Give it a shot! You might like it!
