MN Lisa (lisa713mn) | 145 comments I didn't think this one qualified till I started to read it, but they go to Pokolbin, Australia for a good portion of the book.

Awfully Ambrose (Bad Boyfriends, Inc. #1) by Lisa Henry

Taylor (tjm0231) | 9 comments Hey I’m not too sure if this is right but am I able to take the red 7 for the book Vicious by V. E Schwab?

Yep. That one is open to claim. You can add other books you may be planning that don't work for the special cards underneath, starting on row 36 if you've plan this far out.

Kirsten | 268 comments Hi, Taylor and welcome!
I’m super curious about Vicious. I look forward to yout reaction.

Melissa | 1347 comments I'll figure out my next read after I'm done my Green book :)

I usually only plan one or two books ahead so I can always grab what's needed.

Melissa | 1347 comments I'm currently reading The Girl On Legare Street. I really enjoy Karen White's books.

Me too.


message 60: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 268 comments I plan by the month, and then move things around or get hooked in to something unexpected.


message 61: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments It usually depends on what I can get from the library so I don’t always know what I can get next. Plus sometimes I’ll plan one but when I go to read it I’m not feeling it so I find something else lol

Ooh, right now I'm loving the series the fine print! I'm currently reading the third book but the first two have been really good.

Rebecca | 25 comments My cats are Al, after Alexandre Dumas, author of the Three Musketeers and the Count of Monte Cristo, and Cash, after Johnny Cash! ☺️

I’m using UNO to force myself to read lots of my TBR lying around the house so I’ll add some more plans to the spreadsheet!!

message 67: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 268 comments I have to bookmark my spreadsheet and check to see what’s next or I’ll never keep to my plans.


message 68: by Kat (new)

Kat (bookworm2017) | 348 comments What’s everyone reading?

I’m reading two books Once Upon a Leap Year & The Rules Do Not Apply


message 69: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1347 comments I’m debating on if I should start Daisy Darker or wait for Uno. There’s a long way to go before it starts 😬

U have eight days to go, do u have breaks in between reading? I have to read every day.


message 71: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 268 comments Gregory AsheSuch a long way to go! I'm trying to read stuff that we don't immediately need and avoid reading any books with colored covers!

I am reading book 5 (and will soon start book 6) of Gregory Ashe's Hazard and Somerset series 1. I am loving it! Dark and sexy and a twisty mystery.

I've been going to read this. Amanda recommended it too. I might have to move it up my TBR.

Kirsten | 268 comments I loved Holloway Holmes when we read it for SH. The Lion and the Lamb series went on my best of 2023.

Melissa | 1347 comments Thank you 😊


message 78: by Taylor (new)

Taylor (tjm0231) | 9 comments Hello, just a quick question, in the first hand there’s a skip. Can that be any coloured book? I want to read the final offer by Lauren Asher for it because the main character’s last name is Kane. I just wanted to check I understand properly. Thanks

Yes, You can use that for a Skip. Unless its listed as a colored cell, it can be any cover. Does it have a Red cover by chance?

It doesn’t matter the colour of the card for skip just as long as something starts with K or P title, author, character or place. So that works for skip. :)


message 81: by Taylor (new)

Taylor (tjm0231) | 9 comments Okay thanks :), it unfortunately doesn’t have a read cover but I will be binge reading it once UNO starts 😊
Do I need to fill out the spreadsheet for it? Or was that just for planning the coloured books?


message 82: by MN Lisa (new)

MN Lisa (lisa713mn) | 145 comments that is for all books please.


message 83: by Taylor (new)

Taylor (tjm0231) | 9 comments Thanks, I’ll fill it out now


message 84: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 268 comments Just as a reminder, this month only, we need to wait to start our Uno books on 1 February in our time zones.

In March and April, we can carry over.

We’re getting so close! What are you starting with? I’ve been holding out for Lucky Bounce for weeks and I can’t wait!

Suprise. Kirsten is reading a hockey book!

Kat (bookworm2017) | 348 comments Haha are u a fan of hockey books Kristen, whose ur favourite


message 88: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 268 comments I love hockey. If I haven’t read a hockey book in a while, I’m likely to get pretty grumpy. I read almost exclusively MM romance, and I love Rachel Reid, Samantha Wayland, Taylor Fitzpatrick, and Ari Baran the most right now.
