Melindam | 4427 comments I am sorry, Heather. Your efforts for the Team are much appreciated. :)

So your next read should be sth you enjoy. :)

Melindam | 4427 comments @Laura - great! Hope you will enjoy that challenge, too. :)

Melindam | 4427 comments The rules are different. There the length of the books matter: the longer a book, the more points your team gets for them. There will also be tasks & if you participate in a BOM (book of the month) discussion your team gets extra points.
The rules will be published before the challenge starts.


Laura..devouring books like crumpets (lauzacookie) | 640 comments I have a character

Elvis who marries the couple in Vegas hope that counts for a character

A Beautiful Wedding (Beautiful, #2.5) by Jamie McGuire

For Blue 8


message 757: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Does he have a speaking part or is he just mentioned as the one, marrying the pair? If the latter, then unfortunately, no.


Laura..devouring books like crumpets (lauzacookie) | 640 comments He has a speaking part... its just i doubt his real name is Elvis


message 759: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments If he goes under the Elvis in the book and no other name is given, then it counts. :)

Hi Alma

Just to clear a misunderstanding: for the title of a book only the first word counts, unless it starts with "The" which can be used or ignored (then eithe T or the 2nd word in the title counts).
In this case, the title only works for card 9.

Heather Carrasco | 842 comments Quick question on the series number...

I might read Dark Sacred Night (Renée Ballard, #2; Harry Bosch, #21; Harry Bosch Universe, #31) by Michael Connelly as one of my next books. It's a series crossover kind of book, so it's #21 in one series (which wouldn't help us), but #2 in another. Can I count it as 2nd in series, even though GR has that in the book details and not in the series info with the title?


message 765: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Heather,

I think it's safer to post this in the General Questions thread.


message 766: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments But as the HB series is listed first (at least on the app), I think it would count for #21.

I have only read The Switch by this author, but I enjoyed it very much. It's worth checking out the audiobook for that one, Allison Steadman as one of the narrators was superb. :)


message 779: by Alma (new)

Alma (almamm) | 173 comments It was really good Lorna. I couldn't stop reading. I have seen this author has another 2 books so I might try to read one of them this month.

Melindam | 4427 comments Hi Alma,

when you have time, could you please check the last 3 read books on your UNO shelf?

I am sure this is one of GR's stupid glitches, because when I click on the books, I can see your read dates for them underneath, but on your UNO shelf, under read date I can only find "not set".

Thanks a lot!!

Melindam | 4427 comments description

Dear All,

hope you are enjoying the Easter Holidays (if you are celebrating it)!

We are only 5 days into April and you already did a fantastic job! With your enthusiasm and some of the Draw2 cards (alas, we have too many of them :(, less points in the long run), we already have 28 of our cards covered.

We are also good on the colour cards.

For the Blues, they are either already finished or have them well covered with the books you plan to read (we can use at least 1 for a WD4).

What we still need is
- Green 1 (or 2, can be switched for a book we already used)
- Yellow 4 (or 6, can be switched for a book we already used)
- Red 0, 3, 3

So please be on the lookout!

Thank you and have a lovely day!

Great! :)

I will also try to get a 3 Red covered.

Alma (almamm) | 173 comments I will try the audio book Melindam. I have just started listening to audio books and I can't stop now. Everytime I'm pottering around the place I have my headphones on


message 784: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Same here, Alma. Love audiobooks (it was so good I could listen to them while in hospital). Make chores seem a bit easier. :)


message 785: by Alma (new)

Alma (almamm) | 173 comments That's Done Melindam, I thought the dates were on but as you say it must be a glitch. I have also noticed some of the books from my uno shelf move to a different shelf sometimes. These books can be very temperamental :)


message 786: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Indeed. :) Mercurial even. :)

Hi Barbara,

could you please add the youtube link you listened to?

If there is no cover, we will have to use the default edition
