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

Color Cards for Feb if people want to start planning:
5 Green - Lexi
7 Green
4 Blue
5 Blue - Ella
6 Blue - Mary
7 Blue - Lexi
4 Red - Jax
9 Red - Lexi

Wild Draw 4 - Elisabeth (Blue 6)
Wild Draw 4 - Lexi (Blue 7)
Wild Draw 4

Elisabeth and all,
Sorry, I was tired yesterday (finished a project at work) and forgot the Wild Draw 4's. We have 3 for Feb so we will need to replicate three of the color cards. I will put Elisabeth's book down for one of them.

Also, looks yellow to me. I use tineye for percents as it does that well but not always colors themselves.

Up to you if you want to read it sooner. We never seem to have any issue covering blue, as versus green or red and esp yellow.

Welcome, everyone

We are waiting on two more people but just wanted to post some basics for anyone wanting to start planning:

1. Books must be started after the start of the challenge (1 Feb)
2. Min page count = 100p (25k words / 3hr audio for Childrens, Play, Poetry et al)
3. Spell out using: first word of title / author / character / place

For title, it is first word only and for characters, they must be relatively main parts and no pets/animals (unless the book is about talking mice/dragons etc).

I found it. It's under the other number as well, (https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...). You are good now.

You signed up with you author page, and it may be easier in the future to sign up with 3226935-elisabeth-rose instead. This is how I got the links to work for comments, but it is having issue finding your shelves. Can you share the link to your UNO shelf so I can link it? Thanks, I have never had to deal with an author page before so bit of a learning curve.

Welcome,Elisabeth. I’ll fix the link in the morning when I get to a computer. It likely was a typo when the sign up sheet was filled out. At least one other team member will also need to be changed.

Team Pemberley is open!

Hi all, My name is Lexi (she/her/hers). I live in Northern Indiana (EST), and recently started a postdoc. I especially enjoy reading fantasy, sci-fi, and mysteries and am trying to read authors from a wider range of countries this year. I have played and captained UNO before.

Welcome to Team Pemberley. Feel free to share your favorite Pride and Prejudice quotes or favorite Darcy pictures.

Please introduce yourself (include your preferred pronouns), and if you have played UNO before. To get us started what are 3-5 books that you recommend to team mates. I'll start with Murderbot (the first books is All Systems Red) (I will recommend this series to complete strangers), The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet series, and the Penric's Demon series. Also, The Thirty Names of Night, and anything by T. Kingfisher; (She writes horror, romance, fantasy and middle grade books).


Also, just a reminder that all books must be started after UNO starts, so you have quite a bit of time to finish anything you already started and read.

Please feel free to ask any question now and throughout. You can ask here in the thread or message me. I put some books on the planning spreadsheet as an example but feel free to claim colored covers and I can change mine.

RULES
Here
Books must be more than 100 pages in length.

Children's books, Graphic Novels, Manga, Cook Books, Plays and Poetry books can not be used unless by word count they can be verified as more than 25,000 words using arbookfind.com or more than 3 hours of audio using a reputable website (e.g. Audible, Overdrive)

Only books STARTED after the challenge begins can count. The challenge starts on Tuesday February 1, 2022 at 9am UTC time. To see when this starts, click here: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

Color Covers
The general agreement on colors:
1. Use your eyes and common sense
2. You can use Tineye to verify if it's over 50% (link: https://labs.tineye.com/color/)
3. When in doubt, ask here in the thread and not in the general chat. Captains can take it to the captain's group as a final say if needed.

Good job everyone, I updated our official SS and we are done with UNO for this year.

I hope everyone had fun and enjoy Tower Teams if you are playing. Otherwise, hope to see you all around in other challenges.

Great job again

Charly, can you please add Leave the World Behind to your UNO shelf?

Thank you, I updated the SS.

No worries, thanks for checking in and vampire is easy to find a book for. I will go look for one now.

Charly and Gem, how are you doing on your books? (9 hours to go)

Offical Coutdown

We have ~18 hours left.

Good job everyone and we are doing great.

We just need the books for the mini, the three color cards that are still out and three numbers: 3, 9 and 8.

Everyone has done great and while not quite done yet, you all have been a great team.

We have moved some books around on the mini so everyone's books should still be there but some are in new spaces.

Thank you, I think for now we will leave it with smokes as that is also not the easiest to fill
