Karen ⊰✿ | 3767 comments Great job team!

Only 3 books left (and I'll finish one today) and we have our first 2 hands completed!

At the moment we are in #1 spot for points, but that always depends on timings for captains filling in the s/sheet so may not be accurate (but we can still bask in it for a moment! lol!)

message 173: by Teri (new)

Teri | 401 comments I have a question. I picked up The Viscount Who Loved Me as a Blue 7
I see that blue 7 has been done, but I didn't know if we needed this for a duplicate card or whatever, or if I should just skip this one. I had accidentally slotted it wrong on the spreadsheet, but I've got it moved now


message 174: by Saraaa (new)

Saraaa (iamsarahgee) | 76 comments Hello! I’ve started reading See You In The Cosmos by Jack Cheng. It fits the color blue, 0 (stand alone), 6 (title), and Skip (main character’s surname is Petroski).

Also, I have a question. For the characters, is it required that he/she is the main character for it to be counted or any character in the book would do?

Thanks!

Aww bummer to hear! The Dry was one of my favorite reads at the end of last year.

It doesn't have to be the main character, any character should do!

P.S. This is a very cute book. I loved Alex!

I'm not sure about that Terri. I don't think we have to duplicate the colored cards, but that can be used for a lot of different numbers as well if you want to read it. It can also be used for Reverse since I've read it before.


message 178: by Apoorv (last edited Feb 04, 2018 08:27AM) (new)

Apoorv  Moghe (goodreadscomapoorv) | 839 comments The good thing about this challenge is that any book read can be used in some way shape or form... plus we can always move things around to accommodate new books.

So, please feel free to read whatever you intend to, and we will try and find a place for it.

... given of course, that you jot down important details throughout the books like character names, locations etc. as you go along!


message 179: by Teri (new)

Teri | 401 comments K thanks!


message 180: by Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader (new)

Karen ⊰✿ | 3767 comments Hey Teri

We have 3x wild draw 4 cards and they are the ones we need to duplicate the coloured cards for so your book would be great for that!
As Apoorv says we can always move things around too but I find the coloured and the reverse cards always need a bit of planning to make sure they get covered :)

It is a tough one, but I loved it. I even went and found a list of all the books they read, and drafted it into a reading challenge, but you just reminded me I never did finish and publish it!

It is on my list and I have the audio ready from the library so maybe I'll get to it next and use it as a Reverse :)
I have heard it is quite different from The Dry

message 188: by Diane Woods (new)

Diane Woods | 81 comments I haven't been reading as much lately as I'd like to, but I hope you all aren't mad at me. I would like to say I've been too busy to read but the truth is, I'm too addicted to TV, apps, my computer and Candy Crush and I spend way too much time on them. Maybe it's time for a digital detox.


message 189: by Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader (new)

Karen ⊰✿ | 3767 comments haha no problems Diane. I think we all have times like that :)


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 1505 comments No worries, Diane. Maybe try to finish a couple in a month.

The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
for red 0

I received this on audio from audiobooksync a while ago, but as I'm not very religious was hesitant to read it.
And I loved it!
wonderful true story of humanity and finding the best out of a truly awful situation

And this is why I do team challenges. They get me to read books I would have otherwise left on my shelf even longer!!

So glad you loved it! And yes, challenges definitely have me reading things I wouldn't otherwise...or have just been putting off for one reason or another.

Fab. Are you still ok for The Killing Hour (4 yellow) also? If not, I can put a reserve on Pretty Little Liars (otherwise I'll keep it until next month for whatever yellow cards we end up with!!)
