Okay, will do! I'll request it today and pick up by the end of the week, probably sooner. And I haven't forgotten about my last red cover book either, don't worry!

Animal on cover Gwen 😊
Yes. Sun Dog has a dog on the cover not Red Madder. ( red madder has a picture frame on the cover)

Looks like the picture frame one is the one on her shelf.I'll check and see what connections I can find! It's been a crazy busy last few days but I should be able to work on that tonight.

**TEAM SPREADSHEET UPDATED THROUGH HERE**
I think our assigned book having so many various MPGs is going to be our saving grace :) I've found a connection for all the books so far -- mostly MPG Romance, MPG Fiction, MPG Historical all as connections.
Thats great news ..was beginning to think we'd got the hardest book to work with 😄
So once we have out 15 hands all read , we can continue reading extra books for the challenge ?
Janeylou wrote: "So once we have out 15 hands all read , we can continue reading extra books for the challenge ?"Yes, we can continue until we get through the 40 books for the mini! Once we finish the 15 hands and the 40 books for the mini, we won't have anything else until March starts.
Oh good!:)If u see anything in my uno-own books u want me to read let me know! Thanks✌🦄

@ Diane A Guy Walks Into My Bar..no angst , insta love , very OTT and could quite easily have cut 100 pages out .I enjoyed it but with the writing being very OTT and quite repetitive, i dont think i could read much by that author

both books MPG romance
I bought some blurtooth ear pods the other week and although i do seem to have got more reading done ( while im cleaning / shopping ) i dont seem to enjoy the book as much , so might have to swap it up a bit
I think some of that can depend on the narrator, not just the book.
I think is cos when im reading , my whole attention is on the book, but listening im more likely to get distracted, asked something or a loud noise stops me from hearing properly
