That was fast work getting those all filled in, nicely done everyone!! :-D
For Reserve, I did read Chinese Cinderella when I was a kid, if that helps? :)

Thanks!

This was my first Judy Blume book and I liked it so cannot wait to get to the others on my tbr.
Thanks everyone for the work finding coloured covers yesterday!I've just updated the start of the thread. Sorry I haven't been about much today, I work Mondays and Tuesdays and don't always have time to pop in here.
What do we think of
for a green cover?

Oh yes, the Aaronovich is definitely green!
Wonderful, I've been looking forward to it for months! When I finish my current audio, that will be next up.
If nobody else has anything for 5 Green, I can read
. It has an Ivy character.But I'll wait to see if maybe one of those people who haven't snag a colour card yet might have something.
Corset is fine with me, Eldarwen, to be honest the only colour cards I can cover this month are red!
We can always switch things about if other books turn up that fit.
Just finished another book (completion will come when I'm not on the app), which means I'm now reading my 3 for colour cards. Does anyone else have multiple books on the go at the same time?

My currently-reading shelf is a little - or completely - out of control at the moment but I still manage to find my way hehe.
I normally have a book on my phone, an audio and one on my Kindle for bed time. This year I've got War and Peace going v slowly and I'm trying to read a bit of a paperback every day. Is getting a little out of control...
I usually have at least 2 going on. There maybe an audio book added in every few weeks as well.

Well
is 47% Green as per Tineye
Good thing then that we aren't using Tineye anymore :-pAlso, please remember that middle names do not count. Only first and last names or nicknames.
I'm reading it either way! It's one of my favourite audiobook series.Komal, if you've got anything for a Green 4 you think is more green and are wanting to read, I'd be happy to use it instead.

I've never been sure whether it's worth trying to read any Ian McEwan. That star rating doesn't make him seem more appealing.
That was one of two Ian Mcewan books on my tbr the other one is
but I don't think I will pick it up any time soon.

Maybe that one is better? Not that I've felt inclined to pick it up even though it's been on my TBR for years now haha.

Sorry I added the audio book by mistake I read the hardback book at 368pgs
Thanks! Sorry it was disappointing. Hope you get some good reads to make up for the duds
Hope so I am planning on reading
which is supposed to be good
RavenclawLibraryBooks wrote: "Hope so I am planning on reading which is supposed to be good"I've read the first couple of chapters ages ago and liked them! And then of course I never continued because the book was too big to drag around haha.
Maybe I'll read it as a reverse in April :-)
Ooh that looks interesting. My tbr shrinking is taking a hit this challenge!Hope everyone enjoys their weekend. We're off to celebrate my best friend's 5 year olds birthday - lots of children running round should be chaotic fun.
At least you'll get cake!! :-DHopefully?
I went to stock up on cat food this morning, which is something I really should be doing more regularly. He eats like a bear sometimes! I'll go for lunch now with my parents and then I'll come home and read the remaining 20 pages of my book - I'm a little sad it's almost over already. I enjoyed being inside R's head. And then... the big challenge of picking my next read! I want to read all the books haha.

Book: Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion
Date Read: 7th March
Rating: 4 stars
Uno Cards:
1 - #1 in series
5 - author
9 - character: Nora Greene
I'm glad you enjoyed the book! Sad to say goodbye to them when you get properly into them. Hope the choice of what to read next wasn't too hard.Yesterday was good fun. Had a little birthday lunch and played some party games at their house before going to the main party at a local gymnastics club. He had great fun playing on all the equipment. There were 2 cakes so we did well there!
In the end, it was fairly easy. I started Silver Silence for the red colour card. Nalini Singh's books are always calling to me and as I had planned to read this one anyway... the choice was obvious. Even though I do have another stack that I really, really, really want to read hehe. Those will be next then ;-)
Sometimes the books pick themselves!I'm enjoying mine, but progress with them all feels very slow for some reason.
How is everyone else?

Hello, I'm Tiarra and this is my first Uno ever. Can someone point me in the direction of what I should be reading at this point?I'll read some of the earlier posts to see if I can figure it out but there are A LOT. lol
Here is my Uno Shelf
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
Hi everyone! I wanted to introduce myself. I joined the challenge a tad late as I’d just discovered it! :) My name is Kayla and I live in Indiana. My favorite genres are fantasy and historical fiction. I’m currently reading through the Outlander series so it’s consuming most of my reading!
Hello and welcome to the team, ladies! :-)As for what you should be reading: whatever you want really as long as it fits for one of the Uno cards (i.e. initials or titles starting with one of those letters - read rules for more info!)
Otherwise, if you'd like to hunt for a colour cover, we are still in need of a 5 Green! So a green cover book with a title or author or character starting with I.
Reverse cards are another fun thing to hunt down. Books that have been previously read (no matter when) by other team members.
Hi Kayla and Tiarra!Lovely to have you both join us. I've put a summary of what we're looking for this month in one of my posts on the first page of the thread and there are some useful links there too.
Otherwise read what you want for the next week, most things fit somewhere. When the next mini-challenge comes around (probably next week) we'll be asking people for other things. Sorry I can't say more, don't yet have any details!
What about Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews for green? I can’t post a link at the moment but will at some point throughout the day.
