I just finished two ARC's one a steamy romance by Tamara Lush called
and the other a YA/ Dystopian titled
by J. L. Weil. Definitely a great kick-off to January 2017 with these two books.
Hi Caly and Karen! It's wonderful to join a new group and feel right at home the first day :D
Laura that second one has a beautiful cover!

Hi Everyone! I am new to this site and to UNO but I have participated in other group challenges, many in NBRC. In fact, I found out about this from my WOBBLE teammates. Currently I am finishing up the NBRC decade challenge with a few books from 2007 but am looking forward to several books coming out this year-
As you can see, a mix of historical, fantasy, mystery, and romance.
Hi everyone!My name is Sandra but you can call me Ginger or San :)
I haven't participated in any Team Challenge yet. Actually I joined Goodreads only last summer because I would love to talk with people about books and unfortunately my friends don't like to read :(
Sadly, I was in reading slump for long time and missed many great books and now I am trying to catch up.
My favorites are young adult, fantasy, dystopian, mystery, contemporary and romance.
Currently I am reading Crown of Midnight and I can't believe that I didn't read this series earlier!
I don't really know what is coming out this year yet. I only heard about a few books form booktubers I like to watch and I will definitively read
So if you know any books worth reading, I would be grateful for some recommendations. ;-)

It was too pretty. I forgot I ordered it so I would have been surprised when it popped up in my kindle. I guess I can say I'm looking forward to that book coming out :-)

Hi everyone. So fun to see many familiar faces=) I'm Silje from Norway, this will be my third UNO round I think. UNO is what got me hooked on team challenges=)I'm looking forward to when
is coming, I will read the whole series again then. Other than that I'm not sure what books are published this year, but I have two shelves with unread books at home, so plenty to choose from there:P
Ooooh I so cannot wait for that one either!! The ending of
had me squealing for days after!Also, helloooooooo :-D
Does anyone have an absolute stand-out book from 2016 they'd recommend for others to read this year?

Australia is on my bucket list as is New Zealand. But for right now I do all my traveling via books. Not a bad way to go, really!
Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Does anyone have an absolute stand-out book from 2016 they'd recommend for others to read this year?"My favorite romance last year was
- perfect for anyone that likes historicals! And the second book of the series is coming out this month, so it's good timing. ;)
Lauri wrote: "But for right now I do all my traveling via books. Not a bad way to go, really! "That's the best way to travel. Just think of how much time you'll save on all the delays and check-ins and whatnots. Time you can read :)
Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Does anyone have an absolute stand-out book from 2016 they'd recommend for others to read this year?"Not the first in a series, but I think my absolute favourite book of 2016 was
.Another very pleasant surprise I found myself reading almost completely in one sitting, something I usually cannot do with books around the 400 page mark, was
.
Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Does anyone have an absolute stand-out book from 2016 they'd recommend for others to read this year?"For me it was
Uprooted by Naomi Novik. It had several twists that kept it from being your typical fantasy novel and I really liked the underlying message. It is a stand alone but I hope she chooses to write more.
My favorite book was
. It is a sequel to The Kitchen House. While I recommend you read the first book (I gave it 5 stars too), it's not necessary. The genre is historical fiction. The characters are so real, they seem to jump out of the pages and I find myself thinking about them for months afterwards.
Nanci wrote: "My favorite book was . It is a sequel to The Kitchen House. While I recommend you read the first book (I gave it 5 stars too), it..."Cool! Thanks for the recommendation. I have not read The Kitchen House yet but a copy is sitting on my bookshelf so I may have to move it up the list. 8-)
Caly ☯ wrote: "Nanci wrote: "My favorite book was . It is a sequel to The Kitchen House. While I recommend you read the first book (I gave it 5 ..."Awesome! The author lives about an hour away from me. She is wonderful and so friendly! She FaceTimed with my RL book group after we read her first book. She even invited me to join her at one of her writing groups. I would love her books regardless, but knowing she's such a genuine person makes them extra special.
Hiya all! So many familiar names.I'm Danielle and I can't resist a team challenge. Play team challenge with AMMP, AMMP Game Night, NBRC and bingo at SOS.
I played UNO for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. Had a great team. hello E
Favourite genres are romance and fantasy.
Can't wait for this year
and others I can't think of now.

My mom went to Tahiti and Bora Bora a few years back. She wanted to go to Australia the following year ( and I was saving up to go with her) but she had a brain aneurysm last year and she's still recovering. But we will get there.

Hi Everyone!!! I am Veronica from NYC!! Last game was my first time participating in Uno and I loved it. I like so many different genres. I love all types thrillers ( psychological, fantasy, scientific, etc),and all other fiction (contemporary, dystopian, etc). I just cannot pinpoint just one.
Oh I love these different books. I think my stand out from last year was
mainly because it has been on my TBR for so long and I'm typically not a big High Fantasy reader. I just loved it.
Hi everyone!I have participated in a couple team challenges, and I am hooked. This will be my first time with UNO.
Favorite genre - Mystery/Thriller, Fantasy, Romantic Suspense....and whatever sounds good at the time I am searching! I will read pretty much anything.
Looking forward to:

My fave was
. I just didn't expect to love it so much!!
Hi everybody!I'm completely new to UNO and just these types of team challenges in general, but I'm hoping that this year will be a good introduction! *I see my fellow newbies out there as well. Reaching out to y'all. ;-)
I am a complete sucker for YA magical realism (whaaaaa) books, or probably any good YA books in general, preferably with whimsical writing. Totally nothing against middle-school or adult fiction, though, so if you hand me a good one I'll be sure to read it!
I'm totally looking forward to reading these books:
Welcome Alicia! I hope you find this a good intro to team challenges ;)

I absolutely enjoyed Kiss of Steel too! I have all her other books in my TBR now.
Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Oh I love these different books.

I highly recommend them too! The Emperor's Soul is shorter with around a hundred pages but it's absolutely wonderful!
Thanks Kathleen, no I haven't. I'll add them to the list!
Kathleen wrote: "I absolutely enjoyed Kiss of Steel too! I have all her other books in my TBR now."I'm up to book 3 now at the moment and still enjoying the series!
Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Oh I love these different books. I think my stand out from last year was mainly because it has been on my TBR for so long and I'm typically not a big High Fantasy reader...."I loved Elantris!

Most of those are on my TBR! Or if it's the sequel then the first book :D
Hi. I am Kate. I have participated in several team challenges in another GoodReads group, but this is my first challenge with the Perks group. I am looking forward to this game, it looks like fun.I read a lot of literary fiction and classics, but can frequently be found with a thriller next to my bed or on my Kindle.
At the moment, the book I am most looking forward to in 2017 is not on GoodReads yet, but it's called American Berzerk by Bill Morris.
Thank you, Alison for sharing the link to this challenge!
Kate - it's wonderful to see an RwS face! It's my first Perks challenge as well but a lot of my friends from other groups are here - we're bound to have a lot of fun. :D
Thanks, Kazen. It is nice to see a few familiar faces in this group, especially for this challenge. I have no doubt fun will be had!
I hummed and I haaad and said I wouldn't - but I can't help myself. I'm addicted. I had such a great team last year that I knew I had to play again.
So stopped sitting on the fence and have signed up again!
Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Does anyone have an absolute stand-out book from 2016 they'd recommend for others to read this year?"I utterly recommend
It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover. Was my top book of 2016. Absolutely amazing read.
Looking forward to finding out when teams are announced. One of my favorite things with the group challenges is the books recommendations I pick up.
