Teddie, for now I have put O&C in hand 11 Wild card. That seems to be the only place it fits right now

I think what we can do to help us out if take Oryx out and maybe keep it for next month? That way if we don't get down to hand 11, we aren't losing points. Is that okay with you?
If anyone wants to look at the Best Sellers list for this week and see if they can read one of the books that would be awesome! I'm already reading Big Little Lies but I may be able to squeeze in another one if no one else can find one
OH Teddie, E&P is on the Best Sellers list. Do you want to use that for Bingo and then something else can be used for not in a book series?
Definitely! And yes, just take Oryx off - I can read that anytime.
Awesome! We have three lines completely booked up so now we just have to read them! Thanks for being understanding Teddie
Looks good! Jaya was read by Aproov though, not me:) ( and there are no points assigned to it! )I'm hoping a whack of my library requests come in on Thursday!!
Ohp silly me! It's updated :D And I'm about 20 pages from finishing Glory in Death and then we'll have hand 5 completely done!I'm sad that I'm finishing it though because I'm on a book ban and this is the last book in the series that I own but I want to keep reading it. Good thing I have a library with the whole series!
Keep reading them Beth they are so good. Dallas & Roarke's relationship grows, as does her relationships with her friends. I love this series!Yeah hand 5 almost finished!!
I'm very weird when it comes to long series's. Even if I really like it, I can't read more than 2 or 3 books in a row. I space them out. But I'm thinking of getting 2 or 3 next month and then reading them in a row and then hopefully the next library sale they have a few that I can buy!
I spaced them out! I can't wait to see what you think of Big Little Lies! Its such a great book.
I read the first chapter as I was waiting in the car for dinner last night and thought it was a great start! I can't wait to start reading it. I'll definitely let you know how I feel about it!
My finger slipped and I "accidentally" bought the next three books in the In Death series

I have 10 books coming for me in the mail soon. It's becoming a problem

Beth you like mysteries.. did you read any of Craig Johnson's books yet? The Longmire series? I am waiting for a couple of those to come in for me! Johnson's humor and character development are excellent!
I haven't but I will have to check them out! What's the first book in the series?
Hi guys , I have been combing this list for a pink covered book! No luck yet. Chick lit /romance books tend to have pink covershttps://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...
I'll see what I can come up with for a list for the other colours we need
I already read it but Another Piece of My Heart is a pink cover. I liked it enough. Wasn't my favourite but it was good!I also finished Glory in Death so the first five hands are complete now!
I already own Perfect by Sara Shepard. I can try to get to that this month! If I push myself I should be able to read it! But maybe someone should have a backup pink book just in case?
Books with green covershttps://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...
I am reading Fire and it works for a red cover.
books with black covers

I just put Fire down on the bingo board for you!

I put Another Piece of My Heart on hold at my library Beth but I'm third in queue. I'll leave it there.. we may be able to use it in March's books as a reverse.
I'll just have to up my reading game and get to Perfect then, huh!? I like to challenge myself
I'll find something at my library when I go in this week just in case if you like.
Yeah that might be a good idea. I'm not sure how much I work next week so I don't want to commit to a bunch of books and then not be able to get to them. but hopefully I'll be able to read them all! I just need to stop letting myself get so distracted by everything else
Some of the books I have on hold are black covers but no pink... I will look though:) I m sure I can come up with something!I will definitely finish the 3 books you have me down for so will be able to pick up a few more
Awesome! Luckily I'm reading a book on my Kindle right now so I can read it when I leave the house and on my lunch break at work if I get one. Then with Born to Rise, it wouldn't surprise me if I just sat down and read it in one sitting. I love him so much haha

hi Everyone , I am home today. My daughter was sick last night and we didn't get much sleep so I called in sick.. guess what I am doing today?? I am hoping to get through a good chunck of Elizabeth is Missing today!
Laura - hope your daughter is feeling better soon! And you are right - Eleanor and Park is really fun to read.
Took an early lunch and finished Eleanor & Park :)
thanks Teddie, she is still not 100%what did you think of Eleanor & Park? Did you love it as much as me?
Awesome job, guys! I won't be able to update the spreadsheet until late tonight
We are doing great teammates! What's everyone working on? I 'm working on reading
and
. This one is a bit longer and unfortunately I was expecting it to be as awesome as Graceling, so I am a little disappointed. June, Kirstin & Apoorv, what are you guys reading? Are you able to help us out? I will be able to finish my books on the spreadsheet and add a few more before this month ends.
I am having lots of fun reading and chatting with you all about books!! Go team Speedracers!!!
Sorry guys, I have been a little slacked out this week in my reading. As I had said, I am travelling this week and so its getting little bit difficult to squeeze time in for reading.. but I will keep this thread updated as soon as I finish anything.
Apoorv, have fun travelling, I hope you are somewhere warm!! I look out my windows and all I see is SNOW and its cold!! Safe travels!
More books to add to the spreadsheet... hand 9, card 9=
( location= Neptune, starts with N)
also works for red for bingo
hand 9, card 2,=
( character Betsy Taylor, last name starts with T)
cover is pink.. works for back up pink book in case Beth can't get to hers)
works for hand 9, card 2 in place of my book Fire. ( Title starts with T) Beth can you please take out Fire and replace with this book.
I do believe that everything is updated! I am currently reading
. I am really liking it and am glad that I picked it up.Laura, let me know how Tell No One is! I've had it since last year but never picked it up. If it's good, I may use it as a reverse next month
This week has been busy for me so far. I'll see if I can be of use over the weekend. I'll try to finish off some of the books I'm reading.one of which can work for a white cover. And I'm hoping to finish One of our Thursdays is missing. This works for card 2/3 using character Thursday.
I just put it on the spreadsheet. Let me know when you finish anything
I just finished Trial by Fire. I'll post tomorrow when i decide what I'm reading next
Awesome. I updated the spreadsheet. Will it fit on the bingo card anywhere?
The only Bingo card Trial by Fire works for is the 2nd 1st in a series one. I just started Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas, and it works for UNO card 8 in Hand 10 because it's set in Erilea.
All done with The Scribe - on to The Gunslinger. Would you please put me down for Hand 10's 0 with The Martian (stand-alone book.) Laura, I really liked Eleanor & Park - recommended it to a couple friends. I wasn't as into comics back then, but I listened to all that music, so that was really fun. If you like that era - have you ever read Ready Player One? The main action takes place a bit in the future, but continually references music, books and movies from the 80's - another really fun read.
Now reading Landline by Rainbow Rowell for Hand Ten. Reason: It's a stand alone

Wow, you guys have been busy while I was at work today!! Keep up the great work! June and Kirstin, its great to hear from you both!
Beth, I am really liking Tell No One. I read his new one recently and I like this one so much more! 75 pages in and I would definitely recommend it!!! I am glad that you are liking Big Little Lies. I liked it. The little snippets were confusing at first but then they just added to the drama of it all. When you get to the end and you know who the killer is let me know. We'll use spoilers in case anyone else wants to read it!

I wanted to buy the next ones but I put in for an inter library loan I will have to wait forever to get the next two. Some of the other Uno teams are also reading this series and I 've seen that the second book is even better than the first! Enjoy!!

Yeah!! I'm glad you liked it. I skimmed the comics part very quickly but loved the rest of it. I haven't read Ready Player One yet, but I think I 'll add it to my tbr if it isn't already there!!
hehe, like Beth I have a book addiction.. she buys them, I borrow them!! I just ordered it from an inter library loan! I will have to wait FOREVER!!! lol
