Nichole | 620 comments eReaderIQ is another freebie site! It's a good one too, it sends emails for authors/books that you track.

Jennifer J. | 561 comments 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!!!

Wonderful! I'm always looking for ways to get more free or cheap books!

Jennifer J. | 561 comments 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.

★March Mini - Part I: Team Author | Stephen King

I switched from Misery by Stephen King since this one was a shorter read. It really was not a typical Stephen King type of horror and it didn't seem to get a lot of positive reviews but I really enjoyed it!

I've had it on and off mine for awhile too! The reviews scared me but really was quite pleased! 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?


message 876: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments 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)


message 879: by Silje (new)

Silje (sikna) | 908 comments ♣ 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)

Excellent!!!!! So example 2 works. I figured I was making it harder than it needed to be... That certainly open things up quite a bit!

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.

message 898: by Andrea (new)

Andrea (dreakay) | 192 comments 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?


message 899: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments 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.
