I have your Speaking from Among the Bones as a Blue 6 for the last Blue card

Not that needed. Feel free to skip it and find something else you want to read

Here again for my weekly update -

Thank you, I think a lot of people had a busy week. Can you please add it to your UNO shelf and mark it with a read date?

Elisabeth wrote: "Do you think this qualifies as children on the cover? It's about 2 missing boys.

And this? One child or more than one person maybe?"

Both would work for Read a book with one or more children on the cover or Read a book with one or more people on the cover

Busy weekend here but catching up on the questions.

I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Easter or Passover.

Ella, still holding the grey space for you. Still can’t use the 80-page book but I understand that you find this frustrating.

Elisabeth, I used yours as a Blue 2, as I can use my Blue 2 as just a 2. I have not started it so good to get a color cover covered.

Everyone, can you please add a page number, percent, or chapter for all food and utensils, no quote needed.

Ella,
I am sorry, but it is not my rule but a standard rule for the challenge to make it fair for all teams
5. Books must be more than 100 pages in length

Thank you, Jax and Mary

For Grinch retellings, we are allowed books like this one - How the Grinch Stole My Heart (I think most of these are Romances)

I know you had to read this for class but books under 100 pages cannot be used for UNO.

Mini challange books are now good to go (and have been for a few hours)

Hi all, the April mini is up

Planning SS here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Rules here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

As always, books cannot be finished until April 15.
Countdown here: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

Two key rules:
1. For food/drink/utensils/party, the items need to be unique. So we cannot use 6 bananas, for example
2. Each Book related to a team name needs to be unique. You can read books within the series if it is a book in a series.
Here is the SS for the permissable books: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
3. Cannot read for own team so NO Pride and Prejudice

I have updated the SS. We have read 38 book so far in April, and we need another 67. We also need I's (7 total), as right now we have one planned and the others keep occurring in color covers. Good job, everyone

Reading slower is never the issue. In fact, you fall right about in the middle for this team. Right now just reading and adding books to the spreadsheet is helpful and stopping by every week to update what you are reading. Also the mini challenge will be up very, very soon so that might be interesting to you and will have specific tasks.

Mary C wrote: "Leaving on vacation tomorrow until the 19th. I may or may not post during that time. I'll update whatever reading I do when I get back.

I have some updating to do today."

Have a good vacation and only thing that will happen when you are gone is the mini starting on the 15th as normal

Another re-read, but still as fun as I remember. :)"

Works as a reverse too since I read it awhile ago so that's great

I think a Contradiction has a Yellow 9 if you want to hold off on the Yellow 9. Thanks for the red 9.

Mary C wrote: "I will not be offended if one of the books I have on a color card gets used for something else. They're books I want to read anyway.

I just fixed the link for Splendid. I don't know what happened..."

Thanks, Mary

Thank you, Ella

Also, Tina, Shannon, or Jen,

Since I want everyone to have a chance to read either a color card or one of the new Overdrive cards (If you want, if you don't that is great too), feel free to take one of the cards I have claimed already. We have the Red 9 left but I have only started the Yellow Skip so far.

Edited: The Yellow 9 needs to be claimed as well

They both can count as you started them during UNO. You don't have to start them during April (Unless they are rereads within the last 6 months)

And we are done for the month, great job, everyone

Great job everyone

We just need the Green 5 from a Contradiction and we are done for the month
