Judy The Honeymoon Crashers on scribd!!
Oh you're right! It didn't show up when I searched the author name but now I got it :) guess that'll give us another quick U sometime soon!
On your books, set, GO!!!!
(country pop is still pop, right?)
Would you all call this green or blue?
I know there is TinEye, but I find it's sometimes unreliable. I mean it never sees white, just shades of grey🤨

Oof, that's a tough one! I think it leans slightly more blue than green but I'm happy to let myself be conviced otherwise

Oo..."
I'm afraid I'm with you on this - more blue than green. But then again I feel like it's public knowledge by now that I majorly struggle with teal-ish covers and usually lean the "wrong" way lmao.
Christene Paula✨ wrote: "Mine will be The Ex Hex easy read witchy romance"I love this cover so so much!!
I will err on the side of caution. I have plenty if other books with V titles and green covers.
springs to mind. It's been so long since I started this series, I'm juat not sure I can or want to pick it back up. I really enjoyed thr first book.
Just a quick question: If we read a memoir/biography/autobiography that DOES have characters like The Glass Castle, because it is non-fiction we can't use the character names--right?

I believe in the past there were exceptions for memoirs etc., but the rules here clearly say no characters for nonfiction so I'm afraid you're right :(

OK...thanks Judy! I just wanted to clarify and make sure I was clear on that before I posted something on the SS incorrectly.
I have a lot of non-fiction --ghost stories, auto/biographies etc-- coming up that I checked out from the library for Halloween and other challenges that I will be reading this month that may or may not work here😓 Glad I re-read all the rules😂!
Hello everyone! SO sorry - it's been a bit wild here and I only got a little time this afternoon to check on things. Should all be calmer now (let's hope) but you know how life goesI've started Divine Rivals and have The Ex Hex as a buddy read starting from tomorrow :D I've only found one book that fits the bonus so far but hoping more appear as we go on
Welcome Sanz! Lovely to have you :D
Christene - can you double-check the edition you've shelved for Madison Square Murders? The one on your shelf has 299 pages (kindle edition) while the one in the spreadsheet is 287 (paperback).

No worries, thanks for sorting that out! :)
Yeah I think we need to be extra careful about which edition of our finished reads end up on our shelves this time around. Saturday night I definitely used the link from the our tracking ss to log Veronika Decides to Die (the audio) as 'currently reading' but when I updated it to finished last night on the Home page it had switched to the default edition for some reason. Luckily it was easy to catch for me as the audio I was listening to had a very different cover, but this is definitely something we need to keep an eye on as a team.
Ugh that's so annoying! But at least Goodreads fixed the default edition problems we had at the end of TT, that was hell trying to find the right one

GR keeps doing that to me :( I'll go look for the actual version I have but it jumps to a default one and I don't cop until after I've completed the book

It just happened again to one of my current reads ugh. Fingers crossed it's only a glitch for the both of us and nobody else is effected by it, but
@everybody please do double check to make sure the correct edition is shelved once you've logged your book Read!!
It's happening to me too! The audiobooks that I just read and shelved got reverted to either the default edition or an ebook edition. It was easy for me to catch too because I don't read many ebooks and the page counts were more than what an audiobook normally has😂 But I'm trying to double check everything...I'm adding it to Read shelf, checking it THEN putting it on my Wheel Shelf as I'm adding it to SS🤞that I don't miss anything!
I really really hate to be saying this so early into the challenge already but we're in need of several U's !!
Got some recs for U books, authors, narrators? Shoot!
I have one on the ss now. Will to continue to hunt for more. The Unhoneymooners series is a quick read. Lisa Unger, the author has quite a few books. Ugly Love by CoHo can be an option too.
And if anyone who needs a book (audio and ebook) that is not available in their libraries or not subscribed to any of the reading services, I can try to look for it, just let me know. :)
I have The Undetectables and Under One Roof(or Ali Hazelwoods Under One Roof) I'm going to try get to one of them over the next few days and will be starting Under Locke later today I was in training all day yesterday and then had both bank and dentist app after (luckily I do get to keep my tooth! The stress of that worry was a lot lol)
I'm going to pick up the sequel to Unwritten Rules (bless series named after the first book!) Just spent a moment going through past challenges and also found these:

- Over the Woodward Wall series
- Ursula K. Le Guin
- all the Discworld books featuring Angua von Uberwald

Christene, can you please add The Only One Left to your shelf? Thanks!
I have a few U titles on my to-read shelf but unfortunately no access to any of them which is why I've focused on quick V reads for now instead of reading what I actually wanted to read to finish my popsugar challenge lel. fingers crossed I'll get through some of those next round then x)
I finished one U book as I've been stuck in bed today... I thought I'd be fine but I did finally catch covid too after both of my parents have been more or less sick for the past week 🫠 the headache is killing me but otherwise it could be worseI'm trying to finish up my Cleaning Out the TBR Closet challenge so I really should try to read the one book on there that works for this week's word... but the writing is so small and I'm trying not to wear my glasses because they make the headache worse
and then I recently told myself I'd read all the books from this extremely questionable sports romance list Goodreads posted lmao, I'm vaguely regretting it but at least it gives me a pool of books to hunt for letters in (it's this one, in case anyone is interested https://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/2...)
For anyone who fancies mystery thrillers, Undone is from the Cora Shields series. All books start with 'U'. I'll try the first book..

Try to get some rest, the books can wait!
Most of the books I still want/need/plan to read for this year's popsugar will work for the TBR Closet too thankfully - now I just need to get to them haha.
Sending you good vibes Judy, hope you feel better soon

I can see it now!
thanks everyone :) I'm feeling much better this morning already, I think the worst is over!
Good to hear!! Hopefully it passes quickly and you're all okay :)
I added a couple other letters,but I will have both Z books up tomorrow and will then read an Unkindness of Magicians. Scribd audio do not give me location or percentages, so I have used chapter and timestamp for reference for the bonus instrument. Will this suffice?
Looks like I had speed covid, tested negative this morning and my fever is gone too! 🥳 such good timing since I had tickets for a football game today and realllllly wanted to go (and did just get home from, in fact)

That's so fun! It's been ages since I read the first one (right when it came out I think?) but I liked it a lot! Guess now I need to figure out where to get the sequel (I don't have audible at the moment)
