I'll be starting the next book that has the word airtight in it now, it might be my last book for the month. But possibly not as well depending on how good the book is :)

I decided to have a look at my next reads after my current one for the mini to see if any of them fit those harder words. And one of them happens to have the word AIRTIGHT in it. So I'll just make that one my next read. :)

Also for the numbers do they need to appear in just numeric form or if they appear like "ONE wrong step and my ankle would snap" in just written form does that count as well?

Ember Queen MINI (e-Book):

3. Circle - Chapter 35 (Aftermath pg 228 of 370) "But all that would do is keep this vicious CIRCLE moving"
4. Cold - Chapter 38 (Mourning pg 243 of 370) "Instead her eyes are COLD even as her mouth spreads into a wide smile"

34. 3 - 3 in series
36. 12 - Audience Ages 12 & Up (pg 4 of 370 info page)

I wasn't sure if for Plate it could be PLATES as well so I included it and 12 was just listed as the readers age on the page that has the copy right book info, didn't know if that counted either. But just in case.

Also I included the only the ones on the mini that were still blank. I can still go back and look for others but I assumed those would be the ones you'd want to fill first?

Can we not update the books in the tracking sheet ourselves? I always found it easier to do there, cause I always end up missing the cards when I try to list them off:

Book: Tunnel of Bones
Author: Victoria Schwab
Completed: Feb 1, 2020
T- Title, 2 in series
S - Author
V- Author
P - Character (Pauline), Place - Paris
F- France

I feel like I've forgotten a card will post later when I remember.

The Raven Cycle series is good. My favourite books might be the Darker Shade of Magic series, well maybe The Queen's Thief Series, and Great Library series are also some of my favourite reads, at least I've gone back to read them all on multiple occasions (okay so I have several favourites).

My first read for UNO is going to be Tunnel of Bones, which I'm excited to start.

I have a large pile of physical books and eBooks, my friend and I also tend to pass books back and forth when we have the chance because we have similar tastes in books, so if one of us buys a book and likes it we will usually lend it to the other. But I definitely spend way too much on books.

Hi everyone! My name is Jen.
This is my 3rd time playing Uno, yay.

I live in Edmonton, Alberta. I work full time as an IT Admin Assistant, and I go to school full time as well. Life is busy but I always make time for books. I'm excited to be doing this another year, UNO is one of my favourite challenges.

My favourite genre depends on my mood. So anything from mystery to YA, SciFI, Fantasy, to even the occasionally cringe romance.

I look forward to this challenge starting.

I will also note that while I am always reading a book, because my schedule is a bit busy I may get behind on posting when I finish. So forgive me if I disappear infrequently.

This is the cover I read. And the this cover is also on my shelf. I'll update the tracking sheet.

I just finished another book. I'll update it tomorrow when I'm on a computer and not my phone. I did want to mention though the kill the farm boy edition I read and own is the paper back soft cover which is all yellow. I can't remember if we use the edition we read or what's available cover wise on Goodreads.
Either way I'll update everything tomorrow.

Sorry, I still exist! School is coming to a close so i've been crazy busy trying to meet deadlines.
