HAHAHAHAHA!!! Awesome recap!!! I think you got all the feels spot on!!!Did you make this review??? Heehee!
I did not, lol. I thought I'd skip it this time since I've been doing so many giffy reviews lately :)
I forgot you all could read off our shelves, I wish it was the other way around, I think I'd have an easier time than I am having ;-)
I'm glad we are getting to read off of your team's shelves - some of the other teams would have been a lot harder to find books!
BTW - I have 3 books finished that I'll try to do a better job posting tonight-or tomorrow. We aren't going to be home much today. But wanted to let you know that I found a book for the mini where someone gives a gift. 
- gives a gift
read 2/18 & works for mini (on the sheet already)
- read 2/18 and don't think it fits the mini. Unless there's a spot for super creepy twisted horror? :)
I've finished The Widow but out at the min so can't update Sorry....also a bit drunk lol
HAHAHAHA!!! I had the same problem last night V!! Except I didn't finish a book. I'm hoping to get some reading done today once my headache goes away!
Yep i have a lovely hangover today, spent most of it sleeping on the sofa lol.

Katie then does a soldier penpal thing and saw his name, they become writing buddies and all the old feelings come flooding back as they never stopped loving each other.

V Nerd wrote: "Updated post with unrequited love details"isn't it unrequited love when the love is not returned or rejected from one side? It sounds like they loved each other all along, they just lost contact for a while. Not sure if it qualifies or if I'm just misunderstanding? I'll leave it up to the boss to decide=)

Right now these are the cards left:
one each of 1, Skip, Reverse, 4, 5 and six cards with Wilds
Nope you are right sorry lol, Wyatt was her other BFF and is in love with Katie. but she only has eyes for Devin..........although she does get engaged to him later on in the book, after Devin leaves he jumps on in there like a rat up a drainpipe lol But she calls off the engagement when she hears back from Devin and her heart goes pitter-patter, and her best friend Maggie tells her "He's your lobster"
or we can just use it for 1st kiss if its easier hahaha
Sheesh....I'm failing this month. I'm going to pause The Kitchen House and Nefertiti: The Book of the Dead until next month because books started in February but finished in March can still count for March. I will start Red Queen for my real book and I Hunt Killers for my audio. Can't promise I'll get them finished this month but I will definitely try.
ooh I Hunt Killers if a favorite series of mine Jennifer, the audios are brilliant
Oh wow! March will be interesting!!!!!!Do you know how many books we need to finish Part-1 or how much the completion points are?
I just finished one for Part-I

❤ Mini: Part-1 | Read by Aricia on 2/3/17

#9 | N-Char: Natalie
I will be starting RoomHate next which will work for Mini-Part I and cover the REVERSE since V has read it too.
Wonderful!! We need one more 1, 4, 5, Skip, and Reverse. And I believe about 5 Wilds.We've completed Part II of the mini-challenge but still need 24 books to complete Part I. Regarding Part I section (c), please make sure you double check the date the book was FIRST published. I didn't do this and that's why I have to pause two of the books I was reading *sigh*
Hmm... 24.... that's a challenge for sure! **off to find more book possibilities...**
Our 14 hands for Marchis now in the spreadsheet and I added some color on the cards with colortask, that way it is easier to see. It is just one card every other hand who needs a color as well, so it won't be too difficult, but if you have one in mind already, give a shout=)I'll have to finish a book started before UNO this week due to library deadline, but I will try to finish at least two more books=)
Finished
Read 20/2
Rating 6 stars
How it fits:
1 - #1 in series
REVERSE - K read it
Valentines task: 1st kiss spot, Conner and Risa have their first kiss while hiding out in a bathroom.
If there was a book that was logged in Part-II but could now be in Part-I since our team has added it to their shelf, would it be worth the switch?
Absolutely because we have 16 tasks completed in Part II but only get credit for 15. Which book could we move?
I finished Grave Illusions. It counted as a Wild and Part I(c).For UNO we have Skip, 5, and 4 left unclaimed. I am starting The Incurables which could count for the 5.

Berit added it to her shelf this month
For next month, so far I've found books for these Numbered/Colors...------------------------------------
☆ 7-Blue | 77% Blue | Char (Vic)
☆ 9-Green | 77% Green (which seems weird, I know... but per color extractor...) | Author
☆ 7-Green | 75% Green | Char (Vic)
I've added your color/number books to the spreadsheet. I am going to verify with the mods that Until It's Over does work. I've made too many mistakes this month that now I'm always questioning myself.
Who wouldn't have thought this would work for YELLOW??? :(
Jennifer wrote: "When I did the color extractor on Until It's Over it came up with mostly grey."Did you exclude the background? If you do that, the cover actually looks like the cover and came up mostly green.
That's weird because mine shows grey and blue...lol!!! Until It's OverI don't know if that will work because I've never posted a link before...
