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

@Angelique - you can basically comment on any page and the comment will automatically get put as the last message.

As far as deciding who reads for which card and such , we (cap & co-caps) might have to discuss how we want to handle that.
Don’t panic just yet, there are so many cards that initially it’s not a problem. It gets her when we have only a few spots open. Then you have to definitely pick a book for that slot.

I agree Sarah, so many times I would guess the color fits but tineye says otherwise :/
Can’t wait to get started!!! I got a short list going and tomorrow will play around with some spreadsheet ideas for team tracking.

That’s Great Tina ! It’s also super when it leads you to a book you had no interest in reading but ended up loving :D

Thanks so much for your answers"

Anytime Tina ;D I think my favorite part of this game is finding the perfect book to fit!

So... I checked that cover and technically it isn't Red enough. The color tool says the cover is 57% Grey, 15% Brown, 24% Red ... Which means it wouldn't work because it needs to be at least 50% Red.
It's a fun tool, You'll get to know it real well ;)

Exactly! The 5 is for the I Title, 2 for second in Series and Red for the cover. Have you used Tineye to check colors? Sometimes you'll need to check (this one is fairly obvious). See Message 6 posted by Sarah. She has everything listed and is super organized!
Any other questions welcome ;D

First timer here as well :) I love to read so I am sure it will be fun! I look forward to reading and chatting with you all."

Hi Ashley! Welcome to UNO Team Musca :D

Tina wrote: "I have another question. How does choosing a book work? Do each of us read a book that goes with the hand we are dealt? Or are we each assigned a card or two? I am wondering if I should start a rea..."

We usually try to find a book to fit our dealt cards.
Definitely look through your to-read list for titles, authors and character names. It's always nice to have a selection to pick out of. Most books fit more than one card and might get rearranged as needed.
Have you looked at our Spreadsheet?
It's at the top of our thread, highlighted as Team Spreadsheet under message number 1.

This is my 3rd time around playing Uno. It's always tons of fun!

Hey There T!!! Glad to share this challenge with you again :D

Hi Vanessa!
Nice to meet you :D
Have you played in other challenges? Which ones ?

@Tina- that’s correct ! Because of the S in the author it would work for 6. And it might work for another depending on character names.
Just remember to not start reading until after February 1 ;)

Good Job Tina! the hardest part sometimes is finding the team thread, so you are doing great. No worries about not playing, once the game gets rolling you'll catch on quickly.

Hi Captain Sarah and Team Musca ! :D
This is my second year playing Uno and my second year as co-captain.

I live in Texas. A small rural town SE of Dallas. But I'm originally from Buffalo, NY. I am addicted to AUDIOBOOKS! I always have a book going in my ears and I read Everything! My favorite genres are psychological Thrillers, Mystery, YA, Chick Lit, Contemporary Fiction, Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy.
I like to believe I make a good teammate because I will read anything to fit a task :D

Can't wait to get to know all of you!

YAY! Can't wait to see the new teams

No worries! Just wanted to make sure I’m in line ;)

I’m not finding my name, can you confirm that you’ve got me on the list?
Thank you!

Loved this Challenge Last year... I'm in again!
