The Consuming Fire (The Interdependency #2) by John Scalzi

Read: 1 Feb

3,5 stars
My 2nd book by John Scalzi and I really appreciate him and the entertainment he provides. Even though sci-fi is not my usual genre, but I think I am going to check out more of his books. Especially as my husband is a fan and collects his books. :)

Heather Carrasco | 842 comments Wow, you guys are so fast!!! I'm going to start my first book today!


message 154: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments We had a head start with our time zone. :)

I can read fairly quickly + right now I don't work, so I have lots of reading time.


Laura..devouring books like crumpets (lauzacookie) | 640 comments I was driving around for about 2 hours to main city and school runs I audio booked and the other book was only 100 pages I read that in an hour x

Melindam | 4427 comments Way to go, Lorna! :)

Colleen  | 293 comments So glad to start! This is always super fun. I just finished my 2 books I was reading before so am starting fresh tonight with a print book and an audio book for tomorrow. Phew! Hopefully I can finish at least one of them by the weekend - and if we go up north 5 hours to ice fish for a long weekend I'll get extra reading time in. :)

The Making of a Marchioness by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Audiobook
Read: 2 Feb

Slept very badly last night, but it was not in vain thanks to uno and audible! :)

4 stars
I already read the paperback edition of this book and I liked it a lot, so I bought the audioble version and the narrator, British actress Lucy Scott, was excellent.

Hey Laura,

could you please check "The Darkest Seduction" please? While it is on your uno shelf, it does not show a read date there. Maybe it's just a GR glitch, as otherwise it actually indicates that you finished reading it.

Also, it's not only main characters that count for cards.

Thanks! xx

Alma (almamm) | 173 comments Dear lord, how do you manage to read so much. I am delighted with myself when I manage to get a couple hours together. We'll done everyone,;anyway, I have started one of my books and I've read about 40% or so.
Can you explain to me how to add the points once I finish the book. I know you sent a pm to me Melindam but I could not find what I'm looking for, sorry about that.

Melindam | 4427 comments Hi Alma,

just read at your own pace and enjoy it. :)

Once u finish a book, please make sure you mark it as read here on GR, and put the right edition on your uno shelf. Also post the completion in the thread.

Also make sure you have the book on the tracking sheet with all the info and the read date.

tracking sheet

Heather and I will take care of the rest.

Many thanks


message 170: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Only Heather and I can edit the official Team sheet to avoid confusion. But you can add every info on the tracking sheet which makes also our task easier when we decide which books get allocated to which cards.

Lorna, did you read the red cover edition that is on your UNO-shelf? Or the white one you linked above?

The Goblin Emperor (The Goblin Emperor, #1) by Katherine Addison

5 STARS, ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS OF ALL TIME :)

a Fantasy combination of political intrigue, coming of age and whodunnit with a positive outlook/outcome, where the majority of characters stays alive instead of dying cruel, overdramatic or unnecessary deaths.

Melindam | 4427 comments Lorna,

I am terribly sorry, but this book cannot be used according to the UNO rules. :(

As GR says that it is both illustrated and children's book, it either has to be with a word count of 25000 (which I couldn't find) or the audiobook must be over 3 hours. I checked this on audible and it is only 1 h 44 min.

"...Children's books, Graphic Novels, Manga, Cook Books, Plays and Poetry books can not be used unless by word count they can be verified as more than 25,000 words using arbookfind.com or more than 3 hours of audio using a reputable website (e.g. audible, overdrive). ..."

Awesome. Far be it from me to discourage you, but please make sure you have some books left for the 2nd half of February. They will be needed for the mini challenge as well. :D


Laura..devouring books like crumpets (lauzacookie) | 640 comments Trust me I don't usually read shorties like this... It fits my other bachelor challenge I just have Romania to go then I'm done with this series for a while....


Laura..devouring books like crumpets (lauzacookie) | 640 comments Plus weekends I spend most the time with my kids so you probably won't hear from me much then.....
