Will do. I appreciate you looking for ways they fit though! It's very helpful!
Hi all--Just a quick note. Now that the mini challenge is going on, when you post a completion post, please let me know if you started that book after the mini challenge started and therefore the book is eligible to be placed in the mini challenge. You don't have to look for connections if you don't want to (though it is very helpful!) but please just let me know when it is eligible so I can look into where it can fit as needed. Thanks for all your help :) and keep up the good work! We are doing so well this month!
Cherry Pie or Die is eligible for the mini challenge but I did not see an obvious connection when I looked through the teams. I can look again later.
Ok! I can look later as well and see if I can figure anything out.

I haven't read any kat and Bones for a while so its time I caught up with them again :-P

Hi Team Saturn!I am from Team Milky Way and just completed The Raven Boys which was recommended by your team. I have to admit, that at first I wasn't really getting pulled in and was afraid that I would not like the book, however, I gave it some more time with an open mind and somewhere about mid way it started picking up for me. Ended up enjoying the book overall and will try more in the series! Thanks for the recommendation!
Completion PostThe Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
Read Feb 20th (don't think it's eligible for the mini challenge, but I'll check when I started reading some time when I have more time)
Wild Draw 4- Red 4 (character name: Francis)
(Sorry it's not formatted very well, I'm on my kindle so I can't format and I know I'm not going to have time to post it
tomorrow either so I thought I'd just get it out here

No worries! GR is definitely not app-friendly, but I can still read it all!
Quick question though -- was Francis the first or last name? Or I saw on the page that there was a character named Christopher John Francis Boone -- is that the Francis to which you were referring? If so, not sure if that'd be counting for the middle name and if that's allowed, but I can ask. But, it looks like there is a character named Ed ... so it can count as WD4 either way, just may dupe our 8 Red instead of 4 Red!

I was counting the middle name of the main character, sorry, I thought that counted! But there is an Ed, yes, so Red 8 would work, didn't see that one

No worries! I have put it as a WD4 for 8 Red, but I will ask so we know for future reference. I know they have said middle initials for authors don't work. But, they are a little more flexible with character names (for example, "nicknames" work for character names) so maybe it could.
I can't believe it, team! Only February 20, and we have finished all our hands! Last year was my first year doing UNO, and the team I was on never finished all hands any month, so I am pretty excited right now! Thank you to all of you!
But, we still have some room left in the mini challenge! Right now we have 25 spots that we can fill. So -- if you finish a book that you have started after the challenge began on Feb. 14, please still post it here! You don't have to let me know what cards it will fit since the hands are full, but if you know a way it can fit into the mini challenge, post that info. If you don't want to look for a connection, you can just post the book here and I will try my best to find a fit.
We are currently ranked in 4th place, which is incredible!
Unfortunately, we had a lot of Draw 2 cards this month...which is great for getting the most out of the books we read, but not so great for total points, since they count for 0, instead of the 20-30 we could get per card. So, the mini challenge points are where the difference comes in for us!
Keep up the good work :)
Awesome!! I'm so proud of us :) Btw, unfortunately, I most likely won't be able to read anything else at least until the end of this week, but The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time does fit for the mini challenge, started it the 15th.
I have finished Up from the Grave for the second team Milky Way book from part 1 of the mini challenge. I will post a proper completion post a little later. I have also read two other books so will see if I can make them work for part 2

Great! I'll get that added. Did you happen to leave a comment on their thread that I can link to?

I'll look to see where I can fit that in :) Thanks!
That's amazing! Hopefully we can make up for the lost points with the mini challenge! :)

Same book
I plan on finishing "Dorothy Must Die" this week. So sorry I haven't been reading as much as y'all. It has been crazy at work and I've been pulling 14-16 hour days. You have all done so good!!!!
No need to apologize at all, Charly! Everyone reads at a different pace and has different schedules, so please don’t worry about comparing your reading load to anyone else’s :) that’s why it’s a team challenge!
Hi again Team Saturn! It's me from Team Milky Way again....I read Throne of Glass which was recommended by your team. Excellent book! I want to continue reading the series right now! ☺ Thank you for the recommendation!

Updated our spreadsheet up to here! And I updated this comment with what we have left in Part 2. Though keep in mind that some of the books we've read have features so that they can connect to more than one team, so if you have one you can only find a connection for in a team that's already full, I may be able to move one of those over to another team's and fit yours there! Right now we've got 20 spots left in Part 2.

Kaley I just noticed that I posted the wrong book in message 191. It should be The Next Sin. I have made the correction in the message. Please change it in the spreadsheet. Sorry.Also I have a few more books. Can you please see if they match any book for the mini? My final exams start from monday so I am not sure I will be able to look for them.

Kaley, if there is a better fit for my books in the mini challenge, please change them. I don't want to do too many so that others don't have a chance to do what they want.
