Felicity’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

Kaylee- are you going to have a chance to look over the spreadsheet this weekend to see what categories we are going to need? I seem to be reading at a faster pace than I expected so I would be glad to add in some titles to fill our holes. I started a book to match a 7 today because it looks like that is hard to find, for instance.

I think that’s a great idea! But I am not crazy about Goodread’s limited rating system. I would like a system where you could rate books 3.5 or 4.25. I would find that more helpful.

I started one last night but I can wait on the other. If we start a book in February but finish it in March, which month does it count for?

Another color question- I have 2 red books but we do not need any this month. It appears to me there are a lot of red books (as opposed to yellow, for example) but should I wait to read my red books until March?

We are a well read group. I had two different books the other day that someone was reading that I had read and there was already someone who had read it.

I meant to mention that I finished a book that could be for our first color card, 9 green. It was Ask Again, Yes which takes place in New York City. A somewhat sad book about a couple of dysfunctional families but ultimately a story about love and resilience.

Welcome back teammates! I was worried because UNO posted team results and we had no points but then I realized that some teams pick all their books at the beginning and enter them in the official spreadsheet. I like the flexibility of the way we are doing it. And I'm amazed by how much we have read already on Day 3! I have liked everything I have read so far.

Brave of you starting with a classic, Navi.

Sorry to hear that Alejandra. Good for you for getting it done! Happily, I really enjoyed both books I read today. They weren't mind bending but were entertaining.

Sounds great Kaylee. As you can see for me, a short book is a good way to start this challenge.

Had a question for clarification. We only count books that we start after the UNO kickoff today, right? But will there be chances later in the challenge to count books that you start in one month and finish another, like in past challenges ?

I finished my first book for UNO and am working on 2 more. Go team! (I know I am not going to read this much as the challenge goes on🤣)

I am up (6:25 EST) and starting now!

She mentioned that the default cover is the rule with audiobooks.

I asked a friend who is a UNO captain about this and she said if the goodreads default cover is yellow, I could use it. The book is The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley and it came to my attention because several people in UNO have posted it as a yellow choice.

Anyone know if you can use a book for a color card that is yellow on the goodreads listing but not on the version you are reading?

OMG- I have 24 books on my UNO shelf and nothing to read this weekend. Monday cannot come too soon!!!

I made an Uno shelf with all the books I might read because I own them or have them out from the library. FYI, when I looked at the book spreadsheet my columns didn't all match up. I would just double check your entries.

I definitely am starting with Transcendent Kingdom since I have to read it for a book club the next week. I will also start an ebook because I need that for bedtime. That will be between Weather by Jenny Offill (appealing because it is short) or The Herd by Andrea Bartz or Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center. I'll read a couple paragraphs of each and then decide.

Hi Navi- I just emailed you.

Anyone know what they are going to read first?

Hi all- I have just been looking at what I am going to read first and I ran into an issue I have never run into before. I have a book on my iPad that I borrowed from my library that Goodreads does not have. Anyone know how to ask Goodreads to add a title?
