Oooh I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this could work for one of our blue cards! It would be such a shame if we couldn't use that cover for a coloured card.

8, 9, 5! :-)

Me too

I started a couple more books:

- Forever Dreams which I'll hopefully be finished with quickly, maybe tomorrow

- Trapped which should be a quick read. The Iron Druid Chronicles are quite interesting to read

I've started The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Tales of Terror

Which I think is a reverse with E, or:

Char: Edward Hyde (8 & 3)

I’ve not picked my next read yet. Anything specific needed?

We could use another book for our two remaining reverse cards.

Or, we could still use a 9 Blue.

We also have two Wild Draw 4 cards that need filling - for those you can basically choose whichever of our coloured cards to read that you want. One coloured card per Wild Draw 4 card as the coloured cards can only be duplicated once.

Reverse it is!

I’ll start this one. The cover is bluer than what he picture suggests. I think part of it is set in New York so that should cover blue 9?

Definitely slotting this in for reverse, yes :-)

Keep those books coming!! We're doing very well with the cards so far and the hands are filling up nicely :-)

Yeah that looks blue enough to me :-)
As long as the setting is about 50% percent in New York, it will definitely count for blue 9 then!

Aaaalmost all the cards! Come on E and V!! And maybe an O for the 1 card?? ;-)

But hey, we have an I! So it will definitely work for 5 Blue - so I'll just go and slot that in for one of our Wild Draw 4 cards.

Awesome! :-)

I think I've achieved that!

I did! Creepy fun. It was a reread for me, but ages since I last read it, and my tolerance for 19thC language is much better now!

it's non-fic history, so I don't think there'll be much in the way of usable characters. and the location is the sweep from China through the 'Stans, and into Turkey & Mediterranean, so no location really either!

Also: it's on audio, is 24+hrs, so don't expect a finish this week (though it's good!)

Yes, yes, you have guessed it already - the recommendations were not only for our pleasure but there was something more to it ;-)

Since some of you have already added a few of the recommendations to your TBR shelves, we figured that would be an ideal title for our February Mini Challenge. ;-)


All info for the mini challenge can be found HERE. Have fun!

(Co-)Captains, your spreadsheets will be updated with a new sheet for the mini challenge within the next 24 hours.

nooooo!

How am I meant to help with this AND do Cutthroat AND finish SRC AND not go bonkers?!

Loooong audio, wow o.O
As long as it's good, enjoy! :-)

And yes, it does seem to have more of a purplish tinge to it.

Cat wrote: "nooooo!

I think that last part you can scratch right away ;-)

Cat wrote: "nooooo!

But you know, looking over the recommendations, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to make one or the other book fit for recommendations as well. At least the second part leaves a lot of room for interpretation so don't despair quite yet :-)

Ok, so I want to read Ruin & Rising for SRC (Cutthroat can fit in around). #1 in the series has been recommended by Mensa, so I wouldn't mind them being one of our teams.
I'd had in mind to start it today, but I'll hold off till tomorrow.

Q: are we allowed to read from our our team recs?

E, I love to immediately react in the most OTT way possible, before coming back to ground. You'll see that sanity has been regained! :)

That's the best reactions for this kind of challenge haha :-))

Nope, it's teams other than our own.

And sure thing, we can make Mensa fit! I have been meaning to finish the Cut & Run series for a while now (I only have the last book left), so I could read that one for the mini challenge.

If the two of us read those two books, then that would already take care of the first part of the challenge for 1 team - not bad! :-)

AND Ruin & Rising is a red cover :) with a O surname character

as Ruin... is being put on hold, I shall start Olive Kitteridge on my kindle

Cat wrote: "AND Ruin & Rising is a red cover :) with a O surname character"

Perfect! :-D

Since I'm going to read Crash & Burn for the mini challenge, and Katie has read it, we can use it for reverse.

And that means all our reverse cards have a book allotted to them! :-)

whoo-hooo!

excellent captaining :)


AND all our base colour cards : )
Just need a few WD4 covered and we'll be on the home straight :)

Why thank you :-D

And yes! All our base colour cards are taken care of, and one of our Wild Draw 4 is currently being read for (with a duplicate of a 5 Blue). That leaves ONE, ONLY ONE Wild Draw 4 card we still have to read for. *phew*

If anyone has a coloured cover, please go for it! :-)
You can duplicate any one of these:
- 3 Red
- 1 Yellow
- 8 Red
- 1 Red
- 8 Blue
- 9 Blue

Also, Savana, if you don't feel up for reading Girl with a Dragon Tattoo this month (you're dedicated to your series after all hehe), then please let us know soonish so we can cover the 1 yellow with something else. Thanks! :-)
