Completed: 2/15
Tuesday Club Murders--Agatha Christie

Can you put this book on your Uno shelf please? With a read date? Thanks!

Otherwise we cannot use it.

Same for this one.

Please put it on your Uno shelf with a read date.

Also, as I mentioned in my PM, there is a mini challenge - have you been able to read through it? And along the same lines, since you finished this book on the 19th, did you start it after the mini challenge began? So after the 14th?

Thanks!

Aaaaah Katie went back to reading!! :-D

[Eldarwen]

Ooookay, Katie!

From the above list only Lord of Darkness is on your Uno shelf.

Could you please add the other two as well? Thanks!

Also, I noticed you have Dirty Magic on your Uno shelf but we don't seem to have a completion post for that one. Could you please add one? Sorry! That one slipped through, didn't see the cover - nevermind :-)

Thanks!

Or something VERY weird is going on with your shelves......
I found the books but without read dates.

Your Read shelf however says 2 books. Your Uno shelf mentions 4 books. Seems like they're all appearing though when you click on the shelves, but it's all very odd haha.

So in the end, it might all be in order and it's just a GR glitch, but just in case it isn't, you might want to check the read dates just to be sure.

[Cat]

GR has gone really screwy with shelves the last couple of days...
You’d think the core functionality would be stable... you’d think wrong!

[Eldarwen]

I think you may be expecting just a liiittle bit too much there ;-)

[Eldarwen]

I'm in fits over this cover:



Because I kept wondering why on earth Katie mentioned single man on the cover when all I saw was long hair and boobs :'DDD

[Cat]

Boobs! Hahahaha!
That poor model has spent so much time in the gym to get that body!

[Eldarwen]

Hahaha!

But without enlarging it, and from the angle of the shadows... it looks like a teeny bikini with boobs. Add the hair to it....

:-)))

[Cat]

when Leigh confirms her two books, we could put Tuesday CLub Murders in the 2 where Two Down (Louise) is currently slotted, and use Two Down for a 1 card - O'Connor char ??
And both would work for Saturn - And Then There Were None, also by Christie, assuming the start date works...

I've started, on audio The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin. It, according to the blurb, has an Essun char, and is #1 in series.

I'm not sure about mini-links though.

cover has upclose feature of building, which might work with (Pluto) ?? I'll keep an eye out.
Otherwise, are there books with ordinal number in the title?
ETA: Pluto / First Fifteen Lives... or Musca / Alanna: The First Adventure


The Pluto options can be made to work, if we use a different Cinder rec for Frog Prince - Kuiper or Haumea

[Eldarwen]

Sure, that could work, too! Thanks!
I marked another possibility on the spreadsheet that I found while browsing a little.

Whatever works best in the end with least fiddling :-)

And it would be great if the start dates would work, but might just be the second one that works for the mini.

[Eldarwen]

As for your covers - I think the two you linked seem to work together. They both have this ominous vibe, and close-up of buildings.

I'll go have a look later on, see if I can spot something else that could work.
Going to say no to the cardinal numbers.

Switching the Cinder rec won't be a problem :-)

[Cat]

fiinshed:

Six of Crows
23 Feb

Cards:
# 9 & 0 - Nina Zenik char

#4 - Fahey char

#7 (or #8 - I'm not sure) - Van Eyk char
Skip = Kaz char

Mini
Six of Crows rec'd by a couple of teams, inc Sculptor. alternatively, is bird wing on cover, swap for other bird wing on cover

[Katie]

LOL! I thought that about another cover I read recently... . Yeah, they probably work out for hours a day only to have boobs once they land a cover.

Yeah, my shelves have been weird lately...they all show 0, but the books are still there. I'll go back in tonight and redo the dates on those last 2.

Can we match covers based on colors?

[Cat]

Ashlee wrote: "Can we match covers based on colors?"

I think it depends.... it's certainly not E's favourite link.

What are you looking at linking?

Nevermind, I found something else.

In an effort to complete one more for Cutthroat, I am starting Black & Blue
It should fit one of the remaining "4" cards since the author is Candice Fox.
It will also fit with Team Eris since the cover has barren trees just as the cover of Let the Right One In

[Eldarwen]

Loooool!!

That one is epic!! Some women would be happy to have boobs like that :-p

[Eldarwen]

Alriiiight!! Getting there!!

We have two 1 cards left and one Wild card.

The Wild card is in hand thirteen and we can duplicate one of these for it: 1, 7, 9.

The mini challenge is coming along nicely as well :-)
Keep those books coming!! :-D

[Cat]

I’ve started Tricked this evening, for 1 (O’Sullivan) or #4 in series

I’ll finish The Fifth Season in Feb, but happy to be bumped (#1 in series)

Sorry you couldn't sleep! But at least you did something fun to while the time away :-)

Could you shelve it and add the read date please? Thanks!

True, we're done with that team, buuuut, if the cover with the woman and the books is the one you read, we could use it for Team Eris and pair it with another book with books on the cover:

I’ve double checked my kindle app and it’s definitely the edition with the women laying down. I’ve marked it as read and changed the edition.

Yeah, sorry, I re-edited my comment because I realise that it's the same book but with different titles and covers for some reason. Hate it when they do that....

Thanks for changing!! :-)

[Eldarwen]

Did you add the read date as well? It doesn't show?

(Might just be GR as with Katie's shelves..)

[Kelly]

Yes I’ve added it. It’s showing on my shelf when I open it as today.

[Eldarwen]

Stupid GR.....

Thanks for double-checking :-)

[Cat]

Does Kelly’s book work for the mini, though? The shelving says started on 3 Feb? (And not showing a read date for me yet)

[Cat]

I had the not sleeping thing last night too. Stupid brain! But, I did get a long way into Tricked, so there is that. ;)

[Kelly]

Actually that’s right! It’s my middle of the night book so I started it ages ago! Sorry.

Good catch!! Did not pay attention to that this time around with everything else.

[Cat]

I see Leigh's got her books on shelf now, and that only one (Murder is Announced) is mini-compliant.

I've moved Trapped to the Wild #1, filled in the 3 with Henry / Tuesday Club

Using Murder is Announced for Saturn / And Then There Were None = same author

[Eldarwen]

Sounds good! Thanks Cat :-)

[Eldarwen]

And that means that all our cards for the February hands are FULL!!

Well done!!

Now we only need to finish the ones that haven't been completed yet ;-)

Mini challenge:

We need to finish reading the books that have been claimed for the first part.

We still need to read 2 books for:

And of course finish the ones that have been started.

Argh! They're all so bloody stupid, whiny and NOT AT ALL like they used to be. The "woe-is-me" crap is beginning to get on my nerves. Ty acts like a child and a woman, a childish teen girl basically.

I've put it aside for now - about 60-65% in - and am going to spend a few hours reading my Psy-Changeling book today instead. Not been a great reading week so far but I decided on a lazy Sunday morning with a book :-)

[Cat]

Kelly: yup! Eris for one :)

[Kelly]
