Which shows? I just watched Rocketman & it was even better than I thought it would be! And watched the 1st episode of Hunters on Amazon which started off pretty good. We'll see if it stays that way...
Which book are you waiting for?
I watch various crime shows. The book to cover #12 just arrived- “12 before13.” Will start that today (still going to catch up on my murder fix-lol).
Completed for mini challenge:
Price of angels by Lauren Gilley.Completed:

Orange: loc 1415 - ...so completely for so long with the haggard man in the orange jumpsuit on the other side of the glass.
Shredded: loc 6150 - ...Jessup clutched at his ruined throat, his savaged belly, his clothes shredded.
Not more to gain from this one.

Am I understanding this correctly...if we start books now or in the next few days and we don´t manage to finish them before March, they will count for the March Uno cards?

If books are finished after the official start of March (7PM AEDST) we can use them for our March cards.

We are so close to being done with the mini challenge! Great work everyone!
I have a book with 120 pgs that I can read.That will just leave Starfruit.
by Lisa GreenwaldCovers mini challenge #12
Umm that one actually won’t work. # has to be series or publication date.
Can we use a yellowish cover for starfruit as the flesh of a starfruit is yellow?
Cathy M. wrote: "Umm that one actually won’t work. # has to be series or publication date."If it is easier to find a book for the number 1, we could move
to 12. It was published 2016-12-21I could probably finish the book I just started (first in a series) before the end of the month if no one else has something for 1.
Jodi wrote: "Can we use a yellowish cover for starfruit as the flesh of a starfruit is yellow?"Is it a similar yellow as star fruit? If yes, I think we could use it since the info for the mini challenge used the following example:
A green coloured book? Is the green a bit like a "lime"?!
We could use one of the yellow covers we already have🤷🏻♀️ If green works for limes then yellow should work for starfruit.

Jodi wrote: "We could use one of the yellow covers we already have🤷🏻♀️ If green works for limes then yellow should work for starfruit."Not sure which one you mean. I read 2 yellow titles and neither would work - 1 was read before the mini-challenge and the 2nd is a light yellow which I wouldn't use for starfruit (not exactly a similar color). No one else read any yellow covers.
I did find starfruit in
which I'll read if no one else finds anything. Though I won't be able to get to it until the end of the week.We also need to work on the recipe...
Updated list:starfruit ~ Jodi - 100 Hours - Pg 38 "...bright red cocktail in a clear plastic cup, garnished with a slice of starfruit."
DONE:(view spoiler)
Here are some other books I found with Starfruit in it in case you have time to read another one before the end of the month - 
I’ll read the 100 hours, I have the audio version in my library already so I might as well get it off the tbr 😂
I’m also reading a new series book # 1 right now and will have that done in the next day or so.
Jodi wrote: "I’ll read the 100 hours, I have the audio version in my library already so I might as well get it off the tbr 😂"Oh yay! Good thing I posted that list. I really really wasn't looking forward to reading that cozy. I read another one in that series last year and pretty much hated it.
I'm sure we have a couple #1 in series going right now (even me) so we can fill it with whoever finishes first. It's one of those that won't take too much thought and will fill pretty much on its own.
Here's the quote so you don't have to listen for it:Pg 38 "...bright red cocktail in a clear plastic cup, garnished with a slice of starfruit."
The location for the word shredded is under airtight on the list. Airtight is missing. Not sure it matters or if you have to send in the list. Just wanted to point it out ;)
Oh, thank you! That's just our reference list but I updated it :)
Sorry I have been a little absent recently. I have been super busy lately. I will be on in the next day or two to update my completed books.
Hi Brandy, we're almost done with everything for February so there is no need to anything else finished in February, though I will take a look at your shelf and use any books you may have finished that were #1 in series to take the last open spot for our mini-challenge. Come March, hope things calm down for you a bit and we "see" you more!

Almost done with starfruit...will do post later tonight 🙌🏻
Well except for the recipe that we still haven't worked on... which is for 30 points...

Do any of you do any other team challenges or games? This is my first time playing uno and I’ve done The Bachelor’ team challenge before with Romance Readers group. This has been fun and motivated me to read a lot more! I love seeing what everyone else is reading too 😊
Yea, too many.At Game Night they play a lot of different team games but most of them are more structured (1 book/week). And SOS has a Bingo game that's popular every year that draws a lot of the same players. But again, it's only 1 book/week.
NBRC has probably the most fun team games like this. Pretty much read-a-thons. The 2 big ones are Wheel-a-thon (spelling words) and Tower Teams (pretty much just read read read with challenges thrown in). The next big one should be coming up after Uno, probably in May or June since 2 of the mods are mods in this group as well.
Also if you like challenges where you go at your own pace but have tasks to fill, a new (started in January) fun one that lasts all year is Kill the Dragon at the My Vampire Book Obsession group (doesn't have to be paranormal books). It's also similar to NBRC's Novel Role-Playing Game, which was my all-time favorite individual challenge, though it hasn't had anything new on it in a couple years since the mod overseeing it left the group. But there were a ton of quests and monsters to kill so you could always start from the beginning and it will take a long time (years) to complete. It was fun to complete quests, gain pets, level up weapons and fight the monsters.
Thanks Cathy! I’ll have to check some of those out!

Not like we wouldn't be able to fill it before the end of the month :P
We still have some books we need for the mini-challenge but once we're done with them, we'll have a little breather. Good time to finish any books started before UNO started, to read some shorter stories or to start some longer books (& finish them in March so we can use them for March cards!).
