Can you add the read dates when you get a minute please Anubha? Thanks. Also, add the books to your UNO shelf.

Please let me know if you can't/don't want to read your claimed colour cards below. We have one unclaimed WD4 - It could repeat any of the green cards or 4 Blue.

6 Red - Allison
4 Yellow - Allison
1 Green - Celia
1 Green - Celia
3 Green - Anubha
4 Blue - Allison
8 Blue - Jessamine
9 Blue - Lindsay

WILD DRAW 4 - 8 Blue - Jessamine
WILD DRAW 4 - 9 Blue - Allison
WILD DRAW 4 - 4 Red - Jessamine
WILD DRAW 4 - 4 Yellow - Anubha

Otherwise we have 27 more cards to fill for the regular UNO, and 40 for the mini-challenge. And more than 2 full weeks to do it in. :D No problem all!

If you want to, it will work for 1 Green for the WD4. :D

Five hours until we can start counting books for the mini-challenge. :D

I am 75% done with my first Green 1, and I plan to read the other next week.

The hand books and mini challenge books can overlap, so potentially we only have 40 left if they all work, right? "Books used for this mini challenge do not need to be separate books for what you are claiming for your UNO hands."

Thanks Celia. In theory, if every book that we read now counts for the mini, then we are 40 books from finishing the month. :D

All of those books will work Anubha. If you have finished any of them in the last 11 hours, then please check to see if they will work for our mini. :D

Updated thank you.

Just a little mid month checkup. These are books claimed on the tracking spreadsheet. Some are currently reading, some are still TBR. I know some of you have updated me already, but I want them all in one place. If you are no longer interested in reading a claimed book, please let me know. We will have plenty, no one has to read something they are no longer interested in. :D

I recently finished 1st book in the series, am currently reading the 2nd one, just 50 pages left, next is ofc the . I think I will read my claimed cards by the end of the week.

[Anubha]

Oh and the finish date for all the four books is 14/2/21

I won't be finishing this month. I had to return it to the library, so I'll have to finish it in March or April. I will change it on the spreadsheet to another book I'm reading. I'm currently reading & . I'll start later this week.

[Lindsay]

I probably will be finishing all my books before the month :)

[Jane]

I should also finish mine. I've got the Danish version waiting for me at the library.

Thanks Anubha, do you know with the time difference if you finished them after the mini started?

[Celia]

I should finish all mine too! :)

Thanks Jane. If you could give us some ideas for links when you finish, that would be great. Also, please add your Champagne book to your UNO shelf when you get a minute. Thanks again.

Jennifer, I just added your last book The Four Winds to our spreadsheet, sorry it got lost in the mini-challenge brouhaha. :D You've already read 200% of your monthly estimate! Way to go and thanks.

Thanks Anubha, do you know with the time difference if you finished them after the mini started?"

I finished them and marked them read on GR around 7:30 p.m. on New Delhi (Indian) time. Do you want the New York time? The time difference is 10 hrs and 30 minutes. So while it was 7:30 p.m. here, it must be about 9 a.m. there.

We are 48 hours into no power at my house in Houston. No end in site plus now the water is gone. Will update my books when I can. Y’all stay safe.

[Allison Ann]

Oh Jennifer, you stay well too. Hope your utilities come back soon. I feel so bad when people who aren't used to my weather get my weather. :D

[Allison Ann]

So teammates, regarding the mini-challenge, sounds like some of our links might end up being too tenuous, (ie. MPG Fiction is too broad), so hopefully Jane will finish the book soon and give us some possible links. I read the book so long ago, that it is fuzzy in my mind. I did some remembering and digging though.

Possible links - the professions of the MCs - doctor, professor, painter. Another one changes professions often. There's a wedding, the breakup of a marriage, lots of infidelity, some romantic stalking. The MCs move to a different country. There are deaths in a car accident. A suicide attempt.

[Jane]

I just picked it up from the library this afternoon (both the Danish and the English edition) No reading today and might not tomorrow but I'll see if I can get to it on Friday.

[Allison Ann]

Thanks Jane. Hope you like it more than I did. :D

In The Book of Ivy there's a wedding and in The Revolution of Ivy there's a divorce. Could those work as connections?

And for A Torch Against the Night could the connection be: average rating above 4.0? I think I saw you use that in the spreadsheet.

Thank goodness yes! However, it's rolling. No water. If we had it we have to boil it. Grocery stores are cleaned out and no gas. We are above freezing here and maybe the sun will come out. :-)

In The Book of Ivy is it main characters getting married? Also, I don't remember if there is actually a divorce in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, I think the men just keep leaving their wives for younger mistresses. Maybe I should just reread the damn book. :D

From the synopsis, it sounds like the MC leaves Korea and follows a man to Japan, is this right? Because that's how I linked it to our mini.
