That’s a tricky colour - looks teal rather than a true blue?

Oh my goodness that last book dragged! Finished now though and onto the next 🙂

Yay! Great month - onto March 😊

The main character Helen moved from England to Scotland.

Completed my last book on the tracking sheet - was it needed for the mini challenge?

Unfortunately it’s going to take me up to the deadline to finish the one I have on the tracking sheet.

Shaw wrote: "And my bad on the date-I thought it was the 15th like usual. It is the 14th so I’ll add it to the mini challenge."

Fab - yes the rest of the time it will be the 15th :)

Shaw wrote: "Yes-cuz only books finished after the 15th can count for the mini challenge."

I checked the link for the link challenge - definitely books finished after 14/2 UTC Time. When I used the link for the countdown it was 08:00 GMT - so that book will count.

Shaw wrote: "I didn’t include the mini challenge tab on the tracking spreadsheet to avoid duplicating and/or missing books for the mini challenge."

Thank you - I’ll check the tracking sheet to make sure I’m identifying tasks not already covered. One query - the book I finished on the 14/2 which was after the mini challenge started has had the mini challenge tasks removed?

Hi All. Do we have an updated list for outstanding mini challenge tasks please? I thought it would be easier to see what needs covering rather than going through all the tasks.

Just checking in :)

I’m happy with either option.

Finished The Hemlock Cure - I coloured the title red on the sheet as I hadn’t allocated it to anything and wasn’t sure if there were any red cards left to cover.

Shaw wrote: "Ok-everyone-time for our first color card survey. Is this green or blue? I say it is green but Tin Eye says blue. So now we get to vote on it."

The small thumbnail on here looks green but the bigger picture on goodreads looks blue - I say blue.

My current book is a bit more hard going but hoping ti have it finished by the end of the week.

Desperately trying to finish my current book before tomorrow!

Shaw wrote: "Kelly-is a GR librarian adding the cover you have to the book page? Or will it be published by the end of the month? I’m just wondering for the UNO shelf official purposes."

It’s published in March - I’m not sure what the rules are around covers or why it isn’t showing. Other websites show the cover. I’ve read advanced copies in other years without issue.

I have this for a Wild Card 4 - fits either of the green cards



I have an advance copy - the cover is definitely green

The Library by Bella Osbourne - just a beautiful story.

The Windsor Knot by S J Bennett - really clever entertaining writing!

I tend to use audiobooks as motivation to walk! 😊
