Eldarwen | 5004 comments Yay, first finished book!

With those options, I used it for the Draw 2 in Hand Three - Skip and 6. Which then leaves us with 2 more Draw 2 cards we need taken care off.


message 107: by Elinaly (new)

Elinaly How is that even possible...
My countdown clock shows me that I have to wait for 6 hours before I can even start a book :D

You are reading machines... lol


message 108: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Euh... why does it show you that you still have to wait a bit?! That's odd... The countdown clock is universal. And the starting point was 6 hours ago. o.O

The book actually also works for card 8 with the first name of the character, so I used it for the Draw 2 card (card 1 and 8) in Hand Eleven.

message 122: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Keep the books coming, ladies! :-) We're doing well already for just a few days of challenge!

I'm going to finish two books this weekend: Clean Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles #1) by Ilona Andrews and The Redhead Revealed (Redhead, #2) by Alice Clayton .

And then I'll see what I'm going to start next as I have a few book calls today and tomorrow. It's part of the fun of challenges for me, trying to combine as many tasks as possible in one single book.

I did enjoy and I liked him for the most part. Bridger's story is what I want, he was interesting. As was the epilogue with Cain.


message 125: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments The epilogue with Cain had my eyebrows rising with every sentence! (view spoiler)

Bridger's story I would like to read as well; he seems like an interesting character. Though I kept reading Badger... >.>

Elinaly Completion Post

Sõdur Ivan Tšonkini elu ja ebatavalised seiklused I by Vladimir Voinovich
Sõdur Ivan Tšonkini elu ja ebatavalised seiklused I by Vladimir Voinovich
English version called: The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Private Ivan Chonkin
Read date: 5 March
Rating: 4 stars
How it fits: Hand one - draw two (5 and 7)

This book was unbelievable (satiric fiction), but you have to remind yourself that this really was life in Russia and Soviet Union when Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union (outbreak of World War II).
Laugh or cry about it, but between the lines is hidden the ugly truth and the absurdity of Soviet life - no wonder the book was prohibited in Russia.


message 130: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Sounds like an interesting book actually! I'm not usually a fan of satire, but when it's well done it can be quite good. (It's easier when you know beforehand that you can't take it all at face value.)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Nice going, Danielle! :-)


message 133: by Pepperpots (new)

Pepperpots I'm about 50% of the way through my current UNO book but I went to book club today, and our book for this month is The Buried Giant. Can this be used for any of the cards? Another SKIP card, perhaps?


message 134: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments It'll definitely work for a Skip card, yes. It can also work for a 0 since it's a stand-alone. There are a few more card possibilities with the various characters in the book (Edwin, Ivor).

I read this when it was going up each week as free online, but I really want to read now when all done and can read it in one go.


message 139: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments It reads so nicely! Aside some typos etc that have actually not been corrected (I think they really did not change anything at all), it reads like it's been plucked from a child's imagination sometimes. You know, the easy invention of magical descriptions and things that aren't what they should be etc. I really enjoyed this.

message 142: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments I wanted to spend more time reading this weekend but I somehow ended up not being at home today hehe. Just got back so I'll see how many pages I'll get in tonight. I'm not in much of a reading mood at the moment, but that might be different in an hour or two.

message 146: by Pepperpots (new)

Pepperpots I have finished The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra. I finished it today.

My next book is The Buried Giant which can be used for SKIP in hand 5. Unless you think it would be more suited to another card :)


message 147: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Skip is always a card to have filled in earlier on in the game, I find, so we'll use it for that one :-)

message 150: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 5004 comments Yessss, can't wait either!!!
And here's hoping that the edition you linked will be the one available to me... otherwise I'm going to scream because then I'll have to wait...
I have the whole series in the same edition in paperback, so I want to keep it in the same edition hehe.

The bastard publishers for the Kate Daniels series only released the paperback months after the hardcover!! D: So I had to wait, and wait. Now it's finally out - though initially they said August 2016.
