[Annika]

I put the book down for Team Ceres and that way we can use my In death book and fill that spot :)

[Jennifer H]

Ok, this is what I get for going to bed early...lol

I checked the name Evelyn but didn't think to check Ev. So, Tina, are you already reading your Green book? If you are not I can definitely read mine.

[Teddie]

Ok, I can do which could be the second Kuiper list book - so we would have Part 1 of the Mini covered.

It's also a blue cover, and can be a blue2 or blue3, so that can cover the draw4 wild if needed.

I probably won't add any more books for Feb at this point, until I get the ones I've committed to, read.

Yeah, I started reading it last night instead of going to bed.

[Jennifer H]

That is fine I will save it until March :)

Have you started reading yours yet?

[Jennifer H]

No, I had a headache last night so I went to bed early and this morning I had physical therapy and now I'm cooking dinner so I haven't had time to start a new book yet..

Oh thanks! Luckily, this next week is more relaxed, so I will have more free time (to read haha).
Ah, I'm starting another book tomorrow, so maybe that will apply. I finally finished that book that I was reading and have updated the spreadsheet accordingly :)

Edit: Added a couple of books to the mini-challenge spreadsheet. I was... err... creative. Let me know if they don't work haha

[BarbaraAnn]

Hi - I just wanted to say THANK YOU THANK YOU for the recommendation of Wolfsong. I knew it would be good because it was TJ Klune, but it was awesome and beautiful and everything green. Left to my own devices, it would have probably vanished into the vast cave of my TBR. This is just in time too because it looks like book 2 of the series is coming out later this year.

Haha, you're welcome. So glad you liked it! It's one of my absolute favourites. I'm also terrified of Ravensong, I have a feeling Klune will destroy us with that book.

That's scary because this one had a lot of tough moments but you're probably right.

Yeah.. he's been warning people about Gordo and Mark's story for a long time now, so come June I know I'll be a wreck!

[Tina]

Green 8 was completed last night! Any suggestions on which card I should go with next?

[Annika]

Nice! :)

Would you mind having a look and see if you can connect it to another book for the mini challenge :)

Do you happen to have a book you can read for a reverse card?

[Tina]

I found a reverse book, I’m going to read westward sunrise that Britney read. Im also looking at the list to see if I can find a connection.

Stray is about a pride of were -cats living on a ranch in Texas. Girls are kidnapped, the cover is the back of a woman with claw marks... there is a love triangle... my brain is stuttering at anything else that can be used as a connection.

Runaway bride, strong/independent/bratty female lead, controlling father, only daughter...

Greetings from Team Haumea

I want to thank you for your recommendation of Malevolent. I've read lighter and funnier books by the same author. It was interesting to read something entirely different from her. It was a great start to a new series.

[Jennifer H]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Heli!

[Brittany]

Sorry, I haven’t updated in a couple of days. I have been super sick. I’m going to try to do some updates today but I still haven’t been able to do the mini challenge things yet. Lol my fever brain just isn’t working.

No worries, I did a lot of updates yesterday and have added yours to the mini challenge as well :)

Hope you feel better soon, fever is never fun!

[Teddie]

Hope you feel better Brittany!

I posted to Team Kuiper for Etched in Bone and Team Sculptor for Alex. I should be finishing up Gemina today.

One week to go in Feb!

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Hey Team T,

Lisa here from Team Sculptor. I just finished , No 23 in the series you recommended. Always a good read but with the added bonus of Eve and Roarke helping deliver Mavis' baby! Good pick.

[Annika]

Oo, that was a good one. I love how Eve and Roarke freak at the baby ;)

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

I really need to get to that series. People have been telling me to for the last 6 years I've been on here :o

[Annika]

You definitely should, it's a good one! And if you can I really recommend the audios too :)

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Annika wrote: "You definitely should, it's a good one! And if you can I really recommend the audios too :)"

oh, you know I love a good audio... and I have 3 audible credits at the moment....

[Annika]

Haha, I don't want to twist your hand or anything, but you might discover something good ;)

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

;)

[Annika]

And then you won't have an issue for your 2 remaining credits... Only what to do about the *other* 43 books =P

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

;)
so true

I have this thing that I only like to use my credits for big books (more than 15 hours). under that and I feel like it is a waste LOL

[Annika]

I know what you mean. Audios are expensive so you really want to spend wisely.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

exactly. and I have 5 libraries to choose from (4 on overdrive, 2 also on borrowbox and one on RB digital) so I try and get all my audios that way

[Annika]

Well, at least one of them should have the books. They are popular.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

You would think so! But not on audio unfortunately :(

[Annika]

What, how is that possible? :(
Can they buy them for you? (Some libraries are nice like that)

[Jennifer H]

I ran across that problem a few years ago, I was relistening to the In Death series. I was on book seven and all of a sudden there were no more audio versions of the books to be found on Overdrive (not even the books I had already finished) so, I called my library. They said that it looked like Overdrive had stopped supporting the type of file all Nora Roberts audio books are recorded in (I think wma, I can't remember) Since that time I have never seen another one of her audio books available for downloading. I was very sad :(

[Annika]

That sucks :(

[Jennifer H]

I posted to Team Sculptor for Echoes in Death.

Is there any card I should try to read? I have a book I can read for a reverse and I'm sure I can find a way to fit it into the mini-challenge somehow. Just let me know :)

Thank you! :)

I think April is reading for the last reverse, and I think Teddie said we have the colour cards too. So any book with many options is good :)

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

:( that is a shame

[Teddie]

Done with Gemina - another fun book in a great series!

I added 2 more books to the sheet, both connected to mini tasks as well.

If you're not sure what to read next, might I suggest a couple shorter books rather than a long one so we can fill up the rest of our hands before the March reading begins :D

[Brittany]

I have five more to add to the chart. I’ll try to get them all loaded tonight.

[Annika]

Nice! Great reading! 😀

[Annika]

I've updated the sheets and it's looking *really* good :)

We might actually finish all the hands this month!

Nice reading everyone! :D

[Brittany]

Which cards do we still need?

[Tina]

Is anyone else working on the reverse card?

[Annika]

Brittany wrote: "Which cards do we still need?"

At the moment we have the easy cards left 1,2,6.
We also have one skip and a 0

And for reverse, we have 2 possible books being read that we can add (April & Teddie are reading)

[Tina]

1,2,6, wild and reverse.

[Annika]

We also only need one more book (team saturn) for the mini-challenge, then all the slots are filled for that one too. There are still several books that needs to be completed so it's not completely done yet.

[Tina]

I’m currently reading a short book (165 pages) that will fit in with 1, 2, 6. I plan to finish before I fall asleep lol
