I think that’s blue and enough of it too.

I dislike tineye and don’t use it.

Just three and a half days to go.

I’m going to finish the audio I’m reading tomorrow and hold off before starting the next. I should have the kindle books I’m reading done too, so will be all set for Wednesday.

Nice! I like doing puzzles, but online.

Christina wrote: "The audiobook of You'll Be the Death of Me just came through from the library and now I don't know whether I should listen to it already or wait until uno and listen to podcasts ins..."

I find it’s hard in the days before a challenge starts on what to read.

It will be here in no time!

I haven’t read or seen Gone Girl.

Yay on finishing first book of the year and a 5 start at that.

Jean wrote: "Which author(s) have you read all /most books of?
Boy I’ll have to look but I would guess Christine Feehan, Karen Rose, Susan Mallery..."

Those are some good authors, I’ve just have the latest Karen Rose to read. Agree, when I find an author I like, I typically read most everything they’ve written.

Virgin River or Fool’s Gold are nice small towns to choose.

- Not a particular book, but I'm not a huge fan of Colleen Hoover and the hype around her. I've read a few of her books and enjoyed some, but I don't think she's the best romance author ever. (Please don't come for me if you're a fan of her) ..."

I’ve only read a couple by her and I didn’t like either of them (Ugly Love and Never Never) and that was back in 2015.

CB wrote: "Oh, great questions!

Danielle, I can already tell you and I have similar reading interests as a number of your books/answers correspond to mine : )

🔖 Which books are you most looking forward to ..."

Hidden Legacy world is a good answer. I only read the first book in the Hunger Games series and I haven’t and won’t read Fifty Shades.

Jhmingos wrote: "Forgot I also put a hold for which will work for Green 7."

Nice!

Jean wrote: "Do Roman numerals work for numbers in Uno. I am planning to reread QB VII for another challenge and wondered if I can use it here too?"

I’ll see if I can find the answer, as I’m not 100% sure. It would work for other cards anyway (standalone, characters?), so it would be used somewhere.

Good idea :)

🔖 Which books are you most looking forward to reading this year?


🔖 How do you consume your books and where do you usually get them?
I’d say 80-85% of my reading is on kindle, the rest is an audio.

🔖 Which author(s) have you read all /most books of?
I haven’t quite read all of Nora Roberts, but her pseudonym of J.D. Robb, I have. Another author I read straight away is Nalini Singh. My plan of 2023 is to catch up on some series/author’s I’ve gotten behind on.

🔖 Would you rather hear a spoiler of a book’s ending or never find out how it ends?
I’d rather hear a spoiler, I don’t mind them and something likes them.

🔖 If you could live in any book universe which one would you prefer to be in?
This is a hard one and my mind has gone blank at the moment. I’ll have to think about it.

🔖 Time to get controversial - Which book do you think is the most overrated?
Harry Potter series. I could not get into that series. I tried many times and gave up after book 3.

I have to duplicate the 8 yellow. It has an E character - Ellis.

No, not too early. Now everyone’s checked in.

Make sure you’ve read the info posted up top (posts 5 & 6)

Here’s our planning sheet, you can add your planned and claimed books there

Here are our colour cards. Shout out if you want to claim one or two. We have 4 WD4’s , so will need to duplicate 4 different colour cards.

Hello Daniela.

This is a team of all new people to me this year.

Hello CB.

This one can look more complicated that it really is, it’s a great one to start off with if you haven’t played any other team challenge before.
