I admit, I have a bit of a girl crush on Celaena ;-)
And you'll meet Rowan in this one!

You should totally read Heir of Fire hehe.

[Chris]

Finished Practical Demonkeeping. ⚜⚜⚜⚜.

It covers 'P' for the March mini and for UNO:

0 - Standalone.

2 - Character first name T - Travis.

3 - Character first name H - Howard.

6 - Character first name S - Slick.

8 - Character surname E - Elliot.

SKIP - Title starting with P - Practical.

Line 77 of the spreadsheet for me. Character name was Ford not Frank. Frank was the book I read previously '84 Charing Cross Road'

Huh, no clue why/how that name appeared there?
But thanks for the catch! It's been changed.

[Annalisa]

I'm currently reading , and it can count for a 6 (title S) or a Skip (author last name Kondo). The cover is a very light yellow. I would probably not use it for a yellow since it is not bright.

I've also pretty much decided that is not something I can read by Friday. Therefore, I went and picked up the book Eldarwen suggested, , and am reading that. It will fit the Y. I might read Life of Pi after I finished Poison Study but I think it will be a slow read. I just can't make myself want to sit down and read it.

That's great, Ginger! We all need books like that from time to time :-)

[Chris]

Just picked up 'The Butterfly Lion' but on looking at the font and Wikipediaing the author, Michael Morpurgo, I quickly realised this is a children's book! I don't think I'm allowed to read it for the UNO challenge. Can you confirm yay or nay please? If not, I'll read Grey Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler.

[Chris]

I've just looked on arbookfinds.com. It's a nay as it only has 14,000 words so I'll read Grey Wolf. Oh well, I'll use it for my Popsugar challenge! What a pillock!

Don't worry. We all have a senior moment from time to time

[Eldarwen]

Ah yes, childrens' books can be used but need to be above 25.000 words.

Shame!

But at least you have something else ready to go :-)

Also, I'm just going to pretend I didn't read that "senior moment" comment *grin*

[Chris]

Ha! Ha! Couldn't resist!

[Lauri]

Wow!
Go to work for one day and I miss everything!!
Gotta look through my books now...
I have one question. Should I finish Succubus Shadows this month -- author Richelle Mead ? Will it help with the March mini at all? Or should I just save it for April?
I'm soooo confused!

I just finished Harry Potter & will finish Cupcake tonight or tomorrow!

I did enjoy this, but I think I would have liked it even more not in play format...
It works for Hand 14, yellow card 3 and all the characters in the HP Universe for the March Mini!

We have Succubus down for scrabble, the H in Myrrh, so it would be good if you finish it this month if you can. If not - let us know. :)

[San]

I'll start tomorrow Heir of Fire :D

[Eldarwen]

Wooohoo!! :-DD

I found the first part a bit slow-going but the second part picks way up. And then there's book 4 which is absolutely awesome! And I really, really, really need to read book 5!! Maybe in April finally :-)

Have you read A Court of Thorns and Roses? A female MC that needs some getting used to but it's an awesome series. And book 2 blew me away. That ending!!! I am still reeling over it whenever I think about it.

[Annalisa]

Thank you for the suggestion, Eldarwen. I'm enjoying Poison Study.

No, I haven't read ACOTAR yet but I definitely will.
If book 4 is so good maybe I should go to bookshop and buy it so I could start it right after 3rd. ;-)

Hmm, I might just pick up this series again, haven't been in the mood for fantasy for a while - but this series is a good one :)

Happy to hear that!! :-)

[Annalisa]

It seems quite. I thought I would post with books I am currently reading and will finish in April.


2 - Second Book
3 - Character Lily Horton-Miller
4 - Character Sam Fielding
6 - Character Sam Fielding
9 - Character Nathan
Reverse - Read by Ginger


2 - Goodreads lists it as book 2. It feels more like a companion to me.
6 - Title S
Skip - Author last name Kondo


I'm giving this a go. It was getting a little more interesting. So far I only know of one place this will fit there are not a lot of characters in this novel. Most of them are mentioned as a memory so they aren't even present.
Skip - Chracter Pi Patel


I read 3 pages of this book last night when I was bored. I think I'll be finishing it.
? 6 - Author has a hyphenated last name Braxton-Smith I think it problably doesn't count but on the off chance it does I'm including it here.
9 - Character Neen Marrey

I'm sure when I complete the books I'll have more places they will fit.

[Annalisa]

I'll probably also pick up the rest of the Study series this month. I hope the rest is just as good as Poison Study.

[Eldarwen]

The other two are different but the characters are great :-) They didn't give me the same feeling as Poison Study but I did enjoy them.

Annalisa, if you do go with Life of Pi, it can go for a reverse as well. I've read it & loved it. It's weird and wonderful!

Yes! This book and movie does that! I remember that when I saw movie when I was kid, me and my cousins wandered around old, overgrown places and hoped we would find a secret garden.

Sounds like an interesting series - title wise at least. I haven't really checked what it is about. And they seem to be quick reads! ;-)

[San]

Yes, it was really unusual and wicked. I really like reading fairy tales retellings and these one was different.
Now I am thinking about reading some Beauty and the Beast retelling because I watched a movie a few days ago and now I am listening and singing songs all the time.

[Eldarwen]

Oooh the new one with Emma Watson??
