88432 Do we have a working spreadsheet so we can see what has been claimed & what's still available? If you'd like, I'm sure I still have the working spreadsheet we used last year & could copy a blank one to use for this.

88432 I've always loved the Harry Potter books. I was 7 when the first one came out so I grew up with them. My dad & I would always go to the bookstore at midnight when the new ones came out & get two copies because neither of us wanted to wait on the other to read it! We continued the midnight tradition with the movies too.

When I had my daughter, the first thing my dad got her was the illustrated version of the first Harry Potter book. I can't wait until she's old enough to truly enjoy it!

88432 I gave up dairy for about 9 months, so now my favorite food is anything with cheese. I make what I like to call "cheesey pasta broccoli" & it's just rotini noodles with broccoli and a whole bag of cheese in it. That is probably my favorite thing ever right now. Maybe once I get my fill of cheese again, it will switch to something else.

I don't really have anything I can't stand. I'm not a big fan of spicy, but for the most part I will eat whatever someone puts in front of me!

88432 I'm reading Kingdom of Ash right now in a physical book and Truly Madly Guilty on ebook. I re-read most of the Throne of Glass books to get caught up & I'm sad that the series is coming to an end! I may re-read A Court of Thorns and Roses series next since I'm not completely caught up there either.

88432 Hey guys, I’m Halli! This is my 3rd time playing UNO & I love it! Last year I had a baby right at the beginning of February, so I wasn’t a great team member for that first month. I used to read all the time, but with an infant my reading is hit or miss most times. I love team challenges because they help me get back in the habit of reading instead of mindlessly watching TV at the end of the day :)

I can’t wait to get started!

88432 That's okay! I have other things it will work for, just thought that might be one of the harder ones to find. I'll put it somewhere else :)

88432 How about for the mini though - #33 a book with a yellow and white cover? Does it also need to be 50% yellow?

88432 Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley

Would y'all consider this to be a yellow & white cover?

All books count for something! Even if they don't match the colors. We have a ton of cards to fill, and only 14 of them had to be colored cards.

88432 Just finished The Invasion of the Tearling. Also adding My Name Is Lucy Barton to the list and hoping to finish that by the end of the month! It's a short one.

88432 I'm working on This Is What Happy Looks Like and The Invasion of the Tearling and should definitely finish both by the end of the month. I haven't added one of them to the spreadsheet yet though. Will try to get to that this afternoon :)

88432 Just finished Hidden Figures The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race by Margot Lee Shetterly . So glad it's over... it was terrible!

Will go find something better to listen to next :)

88432 I'm finally back! Came back to work yesterday, & have been listening to an audiobook as I drive & pump at work. I'll update the spreadsheet :)

88432 Hey guys! I’m Halli from Team Grus. I’m on the app so I’ll make this short & sweet (& linkless - sorry!)

Some of my favorites I’ve read this year are:

Otherworld by Jason Segel
Turtles All The Way Down by John Green
The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

One of my all time favorites is Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys (but really I loved all of her books!)
