I fixed it! :)

Once I get home, I can edit but for whatever reason, I don't know why I didn't put it in.

I believe I got it fixed. Can someone check for me to make sure I did it right?

Ariel, could you add Watch Her Disappear and There I Find Rest to your uno shelf, please? And Kelly, similar request - could you please add Newt ..."

I fixed my shelf. <3

I am sure on a roll. I fixed it. :)

It has been fixed. I am so sorry about that.

Do two different species count for this mini task? "Read a book where characters from different backgrounds fall in love."

This is so off topic but has anyone else felt like January has lasted FOREVER? LOL

Hello, hello. I'm finally checking in. LOL

My name is Ariel - I just turned 30 earlier this month and am a substitute teacher. I am currently taking a course on Medical Billing & Coding so I have a decent amount of free time for reading. Why need a life when you have books, you know? :D

I believe this is year 3 for me when it comes to UNO and I fell in love with it right away. I agree with Steph though - I think my favorite part of this challenge (besides reading obviously) is the spreadsheet action. LOL

I just saw your message - it would definitely count for the seductive. Both the main male character and female were seductive throughout - especially through the OF.

@Sarah; Also a reverse - I read In a Holidaze in 2022. <3

I can understand that - I just started season 3 today and I am definitely seeing the soap operaish come out.

For next month, does it matter when the books were started or do they have to start after April 1?

I have been binge watching The Good Wife for the first time (and am completely in love) - which means I didn't do much reading this week. I apologize for that guys but don't apologize for falling in love with a television show. LOL
