They are definitely best read in order. And again no rush on reading them, it is just something we thought would be fun to do as a team and of course the first one works now for Reverse. 8-)

Morning Rachel! I am trying to learn all I can about UNO so I can be a captain next year, so I was wondering your strategy of not using my book The Vegetarian for Skip on card 3 as it would complete it?It doesn't matter to me I am just curious. 8-)
What should I read first? I am finishing S. Can I start HRry Dresden or can I read whatever I want and you can put it in columns?

With Skip you can use K or P so more chance of someone reading something with it.

Got it, thanks Rachel!
The Sympathizer is proving to be a little dense to read quickly. I'll get there but it will be later.I also have Reality Is Not What It Seems: The Journey to Quantum Gravity by Carlo Rovelli [maybe Wild draw 4] and Pond by Claire-Louise Bennett [SKIP}.

1 (1st in series), 4 (character Fraser), 8 (author Exley), 9 (title), Reverse (Dragana has read it)
Tina, what did you think about the book? I saw it had a bit mixed reviews.
I'm not a big fan of steampunk as a genre, but if you like that type of writing it was pretty good. It reminded me a lot of Gail Carriger's books:)

I read this book a couple of years before. If you need it for reverse card where you need the book someone already read...
Oh, yes I see that now Dragana. I read it because of the same reason you did, I love Egyptian history and mythology too:)
I have finished The Woman in Blackshort ghost story 143 pages
It is stand Alone - O
Author Susan Hill = 3 or 6
Characters Arthur Kipps - Skip
Esme - 8
Tina wrote: "Oh, yes I see that now Dragana. I read it because of the same reason you did, I love Egyptian history and mythology too:)"Yeah. It didnt have much Egyptian elements. But it was fun PNR. You compared it perfectly to Parasol Protectorate series.
I actually have the first book in the Prorectorate series sitting on my shelf! Maybe I'll give it a go sooner rather than later. :)

People say it is the best most atmospheric ghost story written. I think it reads like a much older classic of say the early 1900's and wasn't really impressed - I am sure i have seen a stage play which caught the atmosphere much better. However there are lots of 4 and 5 star reviews out there I got it on overdrive through my library so cost me nothing
