Do I just need to click on the spreadsheet to see what spots we have open? I'm not sure where we are in the hand right now and what I might need to read to help out.

[Kirsten]

If you go to the spreadsheet, just look at what hasn't been filled in yet. I'm keeping it as up to date as possible, so just try to read something that would fit for hand one or two.

So our Valentine would be Team Jack Torrance?

If so, I can look through their read shelves and pick something for the mini challenge. I should be finishing my current book today, so I can start something new tomorrow just in time for this challenge to start.

That sounds right. And I'll start on the challenge too. Happy reading everyone!

When It's Right by [author:Jennifer Ryan|4..."

Kirsten -- Did a quick glance as to where these could fit mini challenge-wise (with the easily obtained info I could get on the books and assuming they were started after the 14th) and we could use either When It's Right or The Given & The Taken for "❤ Read a book with a 3 in the page count" from part 2

Just to boost us a tiny bit points-wise :)

[Kirsten]

I will check that out! Also, would anyone be willing to read a book someone else has? We still have a lot of reverse cards to do this month!

[Kaley]

The book I'm reading now (Knit One, Kill Two) and the audiobook I'm listening to (I've Got Your Number) are both on Kim's read shelf, so they can go toward that. I should finish both within the next 1-2 days.

And I can choose something that would fit Reverse for my next book and audiobook too. (I just finished a big freelance project that has been sucking up my time the last few days, so now that my after-work time is more freed up, I'm hoping to be able to get through at least a few more books by the time Feb. ends)

Kirsten,

I read but it was last year.

Does a reverse have to be a book that was read during the UNO game hand?

It doesn't. Thanks for pointing this out!!

[Kaley]

I haven't read any of those, unfortunately.

I DID notice when looking for a book to pick for Reverse that another book I read this month - Everything, Everything - is on Kim's read shelf also. It's currently under hand 1 as card 1. So, if we ever need a reverse and have a spare book that could fit a 1, we could swap that out.

[Kme_17]

I haven't read any of those but I can read the Jodi Picoult book because it has been on my Tbr for a while.
