4 (Four)
Read a book that:

- has a title starting with F

You can do the hands in any order! They don't have to be filled and completed first. If you want to do 4 go for it but don't have to. Also unlike spell in the MM group characters don't have to be the main characters, they just to have some dialogue and some significance. The q&a says it cant just be "Victor the bellhop that opened the door".

Yup!

Do you have any arcs you know you have to read in February? I know you read a lot of them, so those would probably be easiest to know you're going to read!

That is really impressive!

I added one for now, I know I'll read more, but I'm not sure what I have planned to read that I won't get to until after February 1st. I'll update a couple more around then.

Sorry, I just meant that by claiming them directly on the spreadsheet, rather than through posts in the group, it makes it harder for there to end up being books that don't count because there aren't spaces for them

Definitely will make it harder for books to be read that don't count!

It's time to start planning our reading!

I'll add this link to our Working Spread Sheet (WSS) to the top of our thread - > https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/......"


I will say as far as reverses go Trio, Caipi and I all read the same genre and A LOT of the same books so can probably fill those up relatively easy

I realise there isn't a lot of yellow there."

I would say not enough Yellow

Oh I ADORE The House in the Cerulean Sea and the audiobook is amazing!

Welcome Jo! What's the Buzzword Readathon?? I'm a challenge junkie lol.

Yes, I feel like books used to be a lot more long-winded and make it harder to read!

Okay here's the SK recommendations from my mom lol

"Gunslinger series is hard to read. Never could get into it.

Billy Summers has no supernatural in it.

Mr. Mercedes (more of a modern crime then horror).

Insomnia ( one of my personal favs and not too much scary in that)

The Green Mile would also be on my favorite list

if they read electronically “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption “ i is available as a short story by itself. And is an awesome story. "


Also from me not her, I remember enjoying 11/22/63 and it's not really a horror.

This is a question for my mom! I'll text her. She is OBSESSED with SK. My dad bought her some uber rare edition of The Stand for Christmas one year and I think she cried lol.

Welcome Ashley! I was a huge Steven King fan in HS (that's thriller right?), but now I'm like Tammie and nothing too scary for me!

I feel like you always think you don't remember everything but usually know it better than I do 🤣

Hello team!

This is my second time playing uno, but after last round I knew it was one that I would be playing every year and ask my friends about a billion times if they're playing until they say yes (Hi Trio and Caipi!). My favorite part is that you really do have a lot of wiggle room to read whatever you feel like reading, but the mini challenges also add some curveballs so that it never feels like it's just a reading log.

I'm a lawyer, but I don't do any litigation so I'm either reviewing written records (where I can listen to audiobooks) or reviewing video/audio records (where I can sometimes read a book). It's the perfect job to be able to read all the time!

I'm an MM romance reader primarily, and I also especially like PNR and Mysteries as well! I do branch out a little more with uno and actually have found books I was pleasantly surprised by while trying to fit a pesky reverse card.

I'm not a big planner reader, especially that far in advance, so not sure what I will be reading first. Probably will start scrolling through different peoples last year shelves to get some color cover book ideas!

Thank you for being a great captain Paula! I had a blast and just a wonderful first time playing. Hope to see you all around other challenges :)
