Karen, I have 17 books on my Uno Shelf, but only 15 are showing up on the Team's official SS under the members section. Do you know why that is? I can't figure it out.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

So for Part 2 is books having the same number of words in the title enough of a connection?

[Jennifer H]

Hi Team Sculptor,

Amazing job everyone!

Our February hands are complete!!

There are still 12 open spots for part 2 of the mini challenge. I'll keep updating the post above so you can see what's available

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Great job team.

So, is the same number of words in the title a valid connection?

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) wrote: "Great job team.

sorry I missed that.
I'm a bit on the fence as there have been "no"s given to other things like initials of authors. Is there a character name we can find in one of the other books, or something in common on the cover instead?
I think it would be safer to have a stronger connection

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Okies.

How about this then. I finished by Lara Adrian.

Connection: Andromeda .

Secondary characters both vampires are killed during the course of the books. Balthazar in Claimed in Shadows and Darius in Dark Lover. Or covers show vampires nuzzling/biting their mates.

Added to Uno shelf.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Sounds good to me :)

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I've got one for Jupiter - .

Currently reading -

"Train" in both titles.

[Sassafrass]

Will this work for Pluto?

finished on 2/23/18 (on shelf)

connection:

both have postcards on cover

[Sassafrass]

Up next for me is:

Death's Rival (Jane Yellowrock series, #5)

I'm thinking of trying to link it to team Mercury:

If Tomorrow Comes (Tracy Whitney series, #1).

Both books are is series named for Main Character.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) wrote: "I've got one for Jupiter - .

Cool, I've added a bit to it:
"Girl on the train: both have "train" in titile, both have J couples (Julia and Jake and "Jess and Jason"), both main characters on a train is central to the stories, both have characters named Tom"
:)

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Finished and shelved this one now for Team Jupiter.

[Kaylee]

Hey Team Sculptor! Kaylee from team Carina just stopping in to say thanks to whomever recommended Animal Farm for the Mini Challenge! I was planning on reading this eventually because I read 1984 last summer and really enjoyed it, and this was a perfect opportunity! I think I enjoyed Animal Farm even more; the same symbolism and important messaging, with a really interesting format and easy to read writing! Thanks again!

Okay I just realized something and this sucks. Please let me know if this has happened to anyone else and if you know how to fix it. All of my books on all of my shelves are gone. I have the two read for UNO and the two I am currently reading, but the every other book I have put on there is gone. IS there a way to fix this? If not, that's a lot of hours of work down the drain :(

Click on the shelf, Diane. they should still be there but the number is showing 0. There is some glitch on GR right now where the shelves are showing either very low numbers or zero

[Sassafrass]

I see two books on your shelf

[Sassafrass]

Also, can you see if you have any way to make your book fit for the February mini challenge. We've completed all the hands for uno and are working to complete the mini challenge now.

[DoodlePanda]

Hello! Stopping in from Pluto to say thank you for the recommendation for Flame in the Mist!
This had been on my Kindle for a while, but I never got around to reading it, and I'm glad I did!
It was a great story, and I love that it was set in feudal Japan!

yes it has been a GR big for a few weeks and comes and goes. Quite annoying

[Teri]

I finished Moon Called from Team Mensa and had linked it from Night Shifts Black from Pyxis because of the arm tattoos on the cover

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Teri wrote: "I finished Moon Called from Team Mensa and had linked it from Night Shifts Black from Pyxis because of the arm tattoos on the cover"

We can't link to Pyxis in part 2 because they were a team in part 1

I'll see if I can find another way it may fit unless you have another idea?

--edit--
found we had you down for Milky way. All good :)

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Finished

for part 2 - team Grus (same series).

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Rainy sunday so finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (rather than starting my uni coursework. oops).
Anyhow, means part 1 of mini challenge is now complete!

[Diane Woods]

Connection between books for Feb challenge:

The Game You Played has a small child on the front and so does The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. Will that work?

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Finished

For Team Ceres -

Connection: Both set in the Victorian Era.

Oh shoot. Sorry Dianne, just saw that your book was started before the mini challenge so we can't count it for the mini challenge. Oh well. I hope it was an enjoyable read anyhow :)

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Finished
The Murder on the Links which connects with Carina.

I have one more to squeeze in for Carina before the end of the Feb round.

I also start back at uni this week, so my reading next month will be much more limited. I'll do what I can on audio, but I'll probably only be reading half of what I did this month

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

4 days until the end of the Feb round

Books started in Feb, but finished in March, will count for our March books

Mini challenge:
These books have been claimed, if you're no longer intending to read one, please shout out so someone else may be able to grab that spot. If we can get them all done we get those important bonus points!

Haumea		Force of Nature			Kaila
Mensa		Beyond scandal and desire	Lisa
Mercury 	Death's Rival			Sassafrass
Milky Way	Killman Creek			Kaila
Pluto		David Bowie made me gay		Apoorv

And, our open spots can be found in the post at the top of this page here:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
(there are 5 open)

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Good one.

I'm starting mine tonight so will definitely be finished by the deadline. Might even be able to do one more, see how the week pans out.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I found this one (a short novella of 127 pages) to connect with Team Kuiper .

Vampires are the main supernatural creature in both books. Midnight Unleashed is set in Rome (with vampires) and Alexa's late father ( from Soulless) was an Italian vampire. Does this work?

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Awesome sauce

Sounds great Lisa

[K]

To be perfectly honest, I'm likely not going to get to the two I claimed by the end of February - I had a handful of review copies come through, and I'm giving those priority :) But! I've made my next two reads fit for both of those teams, so I can still claim those spots:

The Favorite Sister - fits for Team Haumea's Big Sexy Love, as they're both set in New York.

The French Girl - fits for Team Milky Way's Stillhouse Lake, as they both have water, reflected shadows, and silhouettes on the cover.

For the March hands, I can claim 3 Blue with , which is surprisingly more blue than green. is also Blue, but I won't know if I can make it fit 1 or 3 until I read it.

[Teri]

1 Green #1 of a series

9 red 64% reds and N title
