eReaderIQ is another freebie site! It's a good one too, it sends emails for authors/books that you track.

I checked on that and you can sign up for an email....which of course I did. I always start my day with my BookBub email and now I can add Audible to my routine. Thank you!!!

I finished Hear No Lies. I used it for a Skip card and a Scrabble letter. It was an interesting read but not as good as the first book in the series. I really enjoyed the twists in the first one and this one lacked.

I'm almost itching to re-read those books! But I try to wait as long as I can, so that I won't have to wait too long till the third comes out when I'm finished with them:P

I started it last night on my way home from dropping my son off at school... so it was dark...I was alone.. and listening to this... it was sooooooooo cool and eerie!!!!
Since I was gone all day yesterday, I'm playing catch-up today on the books I was able to finish.

Is there a Raymond Sands in both How to save a life and A trace of death?
Quick question - when we are looking for books for Part-3, I thought we were supposed to find a book that had the first name of one of our UNO teams.*Example: Team Augustus Waters --> Look for a character named Augustus
Or is it the first name of ANY of the characters mentioned in a book from one of our teams? It seems most of the teams are doing this interpretation so wanted to check because that certainly makes it much easier!
*Example: Team Augustus Waters --> Can look for a characters named Augustus, Anna, Isaac, Kaitlyn, Monica, or Michael, Lida, Graham, or Hazel
I usually make things harder than they're supposed to be so thought I should ask!

I asked this to the MODs:
"About #3: Any character name from the Kate Daniels series (Andrea, Derek, Jim etc?) would work? And if I happened to find three different books with the forementioned names in them, could I use all three even though they derive from the same team name? "
And got "that's right" as answer.
As I understand it, if the book mentioned is a series, names from the series can be used, not just the team name. There is an example explanation about it in the thread where the mini challenge is explained (Sirius could be used for team Ron Weasley)
♣ Where one of our team names is a series book, you can take a character from any book within that series. For example, if you find Sirius that is ok as that is from Harry Potter (Team Ron Weasley)

That certainly open things up quite a bit!

You guys had an awesome weekend!! Sorry I haven't been doing much but I have been making slow progress on all of the formats. The BF leaves for his "week on" on Wednesday and I should be able to knock out a few then. I don't have any plans and have some shorties lined up. I'm currently listening to One Plus One, a real book A Man Called Ove plus my computer ebook and phone ebook.

We've completed two 7-letter words and we only need an E & S to complete the third 7-letter word! Also need an E & S to complete our six letter word. We are doing GREAT everyone!!
Yay!! I haven't been able to post much but updated the team s/s with what I've finished. (2 Y books). Will try to find needed letter books next. :)
Question, can a book claimed as one part of the mini work for another part as well? Thinking of Jennifer's "A Man Called Ove" for part 2, could that not work for part 3 character search as well? I believe it said in the rules you could read the book that the team name was derived from right?
Unfortunately for the mini a book can only work for one part. It can be used for a mini task and an UNO card but that's it.
