Lexi’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

Great job everyone. We are all done with the cards and the mini for UNO 2022!

A Contradiction, I used both your books for the mini, but you still need to add them to your UNO shelf.

Alina, if you finish your book in time, I will switch it with the one I currently have in the mini. (I am just very tired after a very long work week (& yellow fever vaccine yesterday) and did not want to forget this evening)

I have finished my books."

Great, can you add them to you UNO shelf?

Great job, thank you, Ella - glad you enjoyed them

Tina, can you please add a date read and add it to your UNO shelf?

Great, job. Just a few cards left and I'll wait until 12 hours to go to use the back-up books for the mini. I updated the list of what is left.

We are down to just 4 cards and 3 minis left. Great job

They are:

Wild (4,5 or 7)
0 - x1
1 - x2


Mini:
Other Team Name - a Contradiction with Mary as backup
People on cover - Alina (lots of other options as backup)
Ready for an event - a Contradiction with Mary (Cruise to Murder) as backup

I hope you enjoy it

Also, thank you all for replying as we get these last cards covered. Great job

Ella, November 9th will only be 6 months ago on May 9th, so we cannot use that book but your grey book will still work. No worries, brown is easy to switch books around to cover.

Great job, all

We are down to 14 books needed and 15 on the planning sheet so we should make it.

If you aren't going to get to a book for a color card (Ella x2) or the mini (a Contradiction x2, Alina x1, Jen x1, Tina x1), we do need to know today or tomorrow so someone else can cover it.

Good job again for being on track to get everything done this month

Elisabeth wrote: "I have two listed and might be able to do another very short one if we need it.

Lexi, have you added Shadow Play to the regular sheet? I couldn't see it."

Fixed, thank you for catching that

We have 24 books still needed and 17 on the SS. I will get another two on top of the one I have on the SS minimum.

Mary, we just really need books. I can make most any letters work, as I tend to leave 1s and 2s esp to the end.

Elisabeth, that should work fine, so I will add it to the mini

Elisabeth, glad you enjoyed it and it worked as our last reverse (since I moved one of Mary's to the Blue Skip).

Mary C wrote: "Speaking from Among the Bones works for outgoing person. So I'm putting that in there.

Thanks to whoever found a mini-task for Forgotten Murder."

Great and thank you

I did as my library had an ebook copy so it was easy to check

That would work great. Thank you

Mary C wrote: "I guess I only have one book left on the sheet. I'll look for some shorter books especially one for blue skip."

You read Under the Whispering Door, which works and was a reverse so I was just going to move books around

Elisabeth, that is great. Thank you, that leaves only 1 specific book.

Shy and outgoing should be easy so great job, everyone.

Alina, thank you for checking in. No worries on real life being busy.

Also, Elisabeth, that is fun and impressive. I hope your dad has a great birthday

Almost End of Month Update - 8 days to go

We need another 36 books. Can everyone please remove any books for the SS that you don't think you will get done, so I have a sense of how many more we need?

a Contradiction, Alina, and Ella, you three still have color cards claimed. In most cases, I can move books around to cover if needed but please let me know soon if you won’t get to a book.
If I don’t hear from you in the next few days, I’ll start moving books around. (Mary, you checked in on your last color card).

We have 4 books unclaimed on the mini (2 easy and 2 hard).

Easy.
1. Read a book featuring a shy person
2. Read a book featuring an outgoing person

Hard.
3. Read a book which has given another team its name *
4. Read a book which has given another team its name *

That's great. Thank you and we should be good on reverse's now
