We still need a ton of A, & C. Then in decreasing numbers: R, L, M, D, U, G, J, Y, and B.

Edit: Marie, I was able to pull some connections from the titles, and the synopsis on GR, but if you have more options we could add that would be great in case we need to shuffle books around.

I tried to post a cover pic of the above, but the add book/author thing is such a mess that after 15 pages of titles that had nothing to do with the title of this book, it still didn't come up. The edition that I own and read is pictured on my uno list.

I hate when that happens. Thanks for trying. In those cases I find I have better luck searching by the ISBN in the add book/author area.

Didn't think of that. Next time...

I was just looking at the spreadsheet, and I think there is a goof. My book Into the Darkness is listed under A, and "author" as the reason for the A. It is actually a character name that allows the A, not the author. I just glanced at it, so if I am wrong, ignore me.

Hm weird, it is already in the tracking sheet but not all information was added. I'll get to it now :)

Looks like I need to get my laptop out again ;)

I'm on the app every day to see how everyone's going, what's new, and if the spreadsheet gets updated, but I've been so busy with work and therefore super exhausted lately... And now my cold seems to be back again ugh :(

I hope you feel better soon. Recurring colds are the worst.

Feel better, Christina!

We are getting another nor’easter right now, this one supposedly with lots of snow, up to 18 inches. That’s crazy for our area. Along the coast, we don’t usually get *that* much snow. They’ve already canceled school for tomorrow, so I hope to get some reading in after the work I brought home. Desperately trying to finish this U book, but it’s kind of boring...
