If it's ok...."

The color is great, but I'm not sure where you found the N for the 9.

Also, do you know how to post the cover to our thread?
Above the text box when you are typing, top right is a link "add book/author". Click on that and enter your book title. You can click add on your book, and at the bottom you can check on Cover.. That make sense?

On my computer which is a mac, I can drag the photo in one window to another tab where I have tineye open. It automatically evaluates it. I'm sure there's a similar way on windows if that's what you are using

Otherwise on my iphone I take a screen shot of the cover (after I tap on it and make it big). Then go to tineye on your safari, There you can choose one of your photos and bingo! You've got results.

I hope that helped.

Color cards must have at least 50% of the cover in the designated color to count. You can check the percentage here; https://labs.tineye.com/color/"

Yes, we should use Tineye first. Then if unsure, post the book here, Then the Captains can post on the page for colors.

Typically if Tineye doesn't add up to 50%, it won't be accepted. Sometimes tineye has a quirk with blues and greens, or Yellows, reds and oranges.

To avoid confusion.... you have to "unclick" the box that says : Exclude background color from extracted colors.

Diane ~Firefly~ wrote: "Do You think this has enough yellow to count for our yellow 9?

"

No, not enough yellow

Looking at our spreadsheet to following are the color cover cards we need. If someone has a book that they know will fit , we can post it and put your name on the spreadsheet:

Red 3
Green 9 & 7
Blue 3, 1 & 6
Yellow 9

Ha! Diane that sounds like fun 💥🚙💥
I’ve got #1 on hold at my library and should have it by February. I’m looking forward to checking out Ms Plum😁

Has anyone read the full Stephanie Plum series?

I have to to admit that I have not :( Maybe this would be the opportunity to get through them?

They sure would be great to fulfill some of those harder number cards ;D

Hi Ingeborg! Welcome to team Stephanie Plum :0)

Hi Andreea! Sounds like an interesting job :) Welcome to Uno!

I do have a cat, she just lives outside ;) She's not much into cuddling and prefers hunting wild animals.

Hey Y'all! I'm the acting co-captain to help Kaylee with all of the fun!

I also live in Texas , close to the Dallas area. I'm married with 3 teenage boys and our Sheltie.
I love audiobooks and get through 20-30 books a month, although that might change soon with a job opportunity I have works out.
I read everything, but have been finding my tastes maturing and I read less YA and horror than when I was younger.

Re: Draw 2 - I believe the only negative for that card is that you get less points than if you were dealt 2 other cards. Sometimes this game is won by the cards dealt ;)

Looking forward to playing along with y'all!

No worries Allison! I had meant to look at that one a little more but I didn't, so as co-capt I deserve the rocks too! LOL
It's all for fun and in our minds we did finish. ;D

Great job Allison! Thank you for all of your hard work organizing while I bumped shoulders with Mickey this past week :) and thanks for all of your speed reading!!! Way to finish up our tasks!!!!
Thanks to all who participated, we ended up doing pretty well and read a lot of books. I’ll probably need to go back and re-read as I listened to most at 2x’s speed :P Lol!
