Hi, Ladies!Good news, I finished today 1 reading and 1 audiobook!
I am now on my way to a nightshift so I won't be able to update anything on my bookshelf (I will try to), but both readings are finished:
21 February
4 stars
Mini: 1. a book published in June or in November, 2. where a character has blue eyes (Will), 4. a book that was nominated for or got and Award (Goodreads' Winner 2019), 5. featuring a nurse (Barb), 6. a book that was adapted into a movie/theatre play (THIS ONE DOESN'T FIT! I thought I would be able to use it, but believe me or not, the film came first, and then the author wrote the book based on the screenplay!)
21 February
3 stars
Mini: Sorry, I didn't have time to check this out.

Awesome work, Lovelies!! We only need to 10 more books to finish the Feb cards. :) ♡
For the March cards, any books you started from 1 February will count, as long as you finish them after the March countdown is over (1 Mar, 9.00 am UTC).
I am commited to finish In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by the end of this month. Count on me (:Then I will probably start new readings, and finish them by March.
Hello Girls,we already have the March cards on our official ss, so you can have a look.
We have 11 colour cards + 7 Wild Draw 4s.... so in case you have books that may fit them, keep them for March. :)

Mel, hi, just make it clear for me:I saw on the official UNO Chat this message: "Only books STARTED after the challenge begins can count."

:) It will count for sure.
Any books started any time after 1 February and finished after the March countdown 1 March 2021 at 9am UTC time, will count towards the March cards.
I hope this is clearer now.
It is! Thanks!I will start with the RED 0 (Zero), then.
How are you feeling, Melindam and Lorna? I hope you guys are recovering quickly!!
Hi SandyL,thanks for asking. Honestly, I have been feeling like crap in the last 4 days: very feverish and weak, no improvement yet. :(
Thanks SandyL! Can you please make sure you have The Duelist's Seduction on your UNO shelf when you get a chance? Thank you!

Hope all of you suffering this awful virus are ok, hope you all get better soon
Got it all! Here's our update!
We are done with the mini challenge for February.
For our main cards, we have 3 cards left:
1
2
9
I would suggest that if the book you are reading doesn't work for one of these, then hold off on finishing that book until March.
@Laura, looks like both of your books will work.
That leaves us with one more needed, ideally a 1 or a 2. Does anyone have one that they can finish that will work?
Sorry to hear that Lorna!Don't worry about the challenge...focus on getting better instead! I hope you start feeling better soon!
Oh, no, Lorna! :( So sad to hear it.
Lorna!!! Shit.... Hope your out soon.....
Oh corona virus will you go away once and for all. I hope you guys get better soon. Sorry to hear you're in hospital Laura.I think I have card 1 nearly finished. I'll be able to tell you more tomorrow if that's OK.
