The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

No problem! I was reading it anyway. Now back to All The Light We Cannot See haha

So to clarify - do I have to START the book in March or just finish it? Because I started All The Light We Cannot See at the start of uno, and it turns out it’s a blue cover. So if I can find a 4 or 9 link (and it’s allowed!) then it’s covered. My other hopeful blue cover (Cast in Silence) can be for either 4 or 9 if it passes.

You can start now and finish in March. So yes watch for that 4 or 9. I just checked tineye, and Cast in Silence is barely under thhe needed 50%, but I'm going to also ask in the captains group right now. And I'll let you know for sure!

Cast in Silence got approved as a blue cover - yay!

YUS!!! That’s pretty darn exciting!! I tried tineye but I have no idea what I’m doing to get the colour percentage. And hopefully I’ll find a 4 or 9 that isn’t Frau - but it’ll do for a reverse which is sorely needed!

Thank you Suzanne, Des, and Kelly for working on the mystery. I’m sorry I really haven’t had time to focus on it much

No problem Laila. I sent in a guess this morning. Fingers crossed!!

Great news. We solved the mystery!! 50 bonus points. And yikes that was really challenging. Thanks so much Des and Kelly!!

That is so awesome!!! I’m glad we were able to put our heads together and get it solved! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What a relief!!

GO US!!! I’m so proud!! Not that I did much haha.

Wow! Great job you 3 =D

Hey Laila theres a Lisa Kleypas book that got approved for Yellow 3. I put down you or me to read it. I know we would both enjoy it :)

I need to read that one too! But our library hasn’t ordered it yet.

If it doesnt arrive by March, hopefully by April! It could end up being a mini buddy read!

Have any of you read The Others series? The new one comes out next week. I'm so excited!!

YES!!! But again, gotta wait for the library to order it.

A buddy read sounds awesome!!!

But I’ve just now managed to put them both on hold haha

I’ve wanted to read The Others series, but my library doesn’t have the first few books. They only have #4 and up. :(

I love the Others series. I constantly bug my manager to order more copies than he thinks we need because it constantly sells out.

Des your library is awful!! How can they call themselves a library without the first three books?!?

I’m trying to make a proper completion post for The One, but my internet is messing up. I’ll have to do it through the app.

The One by Kiera Cass
Date: 02/28/19
Cards: 3 - 3rd in series
4 - C: Fadaye
5 - S: Illeas
6 - C: Singer
9 - C: Newsome
Skip - A: Kiera

Yes, Kelly, my library can be frustrating! I just have to work with what they have, since their selection isn’t the best.

That completion post is very proper. Thanks Des!

Nice job everyone! We are currently in 3rd place - just 15 points out of 1st place - those #s are all the luck of the cards. We've gotten every possible point, which is absolutely amazing!

I'm looking forward to March!

So grateful to be on an awesome team, with everyone participating! Way to go, team!!! 👏🏼

Yay us!! We’re an awesome team!!

And thanks, Suzanne about my post, lol. To me, it’s not proper, because it doesn’t have links. My perfectionist personality coming out. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

I feels those feels Des - I swear I’ve had to go through the app every completion post because the month has been horrific with me getting on the laptop! I’m so proud I’ve got my first few books on the planning sheet for March haha.

I'm so sorry I've been out all week! It's been a long one!
So proud of everyone for this month!

Did we get everything filled for February or are we still waiting on something?

I *may* finish one more book tonight but I'm not sure.

We are all set KayLynn - so if you end up not finishing it til tomorrow, we will count it for March. Thanks for checking in - and for all your February help =)

Yes! I've been waiting to read this book. If we both read it we can use it for Wild Draw 4 too

I'm so proud of us for getting every possible point we could get! In my eyes, that makes us winners whether we're in first place or not =D

I got to leave my house for a bit today. I have a wonderful used book store near me. The owner knows what I like and I gave him a list of some books I was looking for. I stopped in there today and he said "Let me get your box." I thought he was joking. He was not, The husband has grumpy face all the way home.

I think I am ready for the next round.

Lol I love this whole story. And good for you! It's always exciting to get a new batch of books to read

Do you think this would count for yellow?



If so I can use it for Yellow 3 if no one has claimed it yet

I think they'll say there isn't enough yellow in that one, sadly. But you should read it anyway - it looks good!

Fantastic! Thanks M

Oh wait - I finished one too!! I don’t know if it’ll count since it’s about diseases and stuff, but it has a card that fits.

101 unusual diseases and disorders - Evelyn B. Kelly
8 - author name

As long as its long enough and has a card we can use it.

And yay - we'll be on the March boards! =)

A box full of books sounds like a dream situation! I need to make friends with a local shop owner! 😄

It has a whole BUNCH of pages haha. I’m going through my first (hopeful) blue book - if it doesn’t have a 4 or 9 card, it’ll make a good reverse and goodness knows we need those!!!

Yes reverses are always awesome to have!!

Nice job - we are starting out March strongly! I'm personally going to try to do some color cards the firstt half of the month, to make myself more flexible for the mini challenge the last half. I just finished (not a color cover) and it was good - plus great to get a series completed!

I also just noticed that we have TEN reverse cards this month. Keep an eye open - but I actually really like that because it lets us read books that friends have read :)

Husband's grumpy face is worth the joy of a box of books!!!! Yay!

All The Light We Cannot See has a character called Frederick - BLUE 4!!!!

Score! That's great :)
