Good job getting the book on the Spreadsheet!

Also, please check off ALL options for the book, so for example put an X under 1 and K or P, because the book starts with an O, and the Author's surname starts with P. You will also find character names will fit in other cards. and so on...
And Date will be CR, even though we know you aren't yet reading it. The date is the date you complete the book.

I'll put the x's there, so you can see.

This way we are more flexible when adding the cards to the other tab sheet. It shows us (captain and co-captain) all of our options when entering the BONES spreadsheet for points.

Good point about the pages!
gah!!! I'll never get to all those lengthy books I have !

So we got pretty lucky with 8 of those beauties! YAY!

Teddie, I haven't started adding any books to the list yet. But just to clarify, we cannot actually start reading them until Feb 1st? Is that correct? Such a tease, to have those pretty cards and not be able to start our books ;) lol!

I found this regarding the actual Uno deck in "RL"

The deck consists of 108 cards, of which there are twenty-five of each color (red, green, blue, and yellow), each color having two of each rank except zero. The ranks in each color are zero to nine, "Skip", "Draw Two", and "Reverse" (the last three being "action cards"). In addition, the deck contains four each of "Wild" and "Wild Draw Four" cards.

But it looks like we got all of the Wild cards ~ 8... are we just lucky?

Billy "D" wrote: "Question: In looking at the planning sheet and our cards, I'm guessing that a Wild card book would be best? ( 30 points)
Am I right in, that the book must meet one requirement from each card 0 to..."

Yes, The wild is the highest point card at 30, I believe that may be because there are less of those cards in a deck.
But I think to fulfill that card's requirement you only have to read one book fitting any of 0-9's requirements. Not all of them. Did that answer your question?

Anyone else have input about our Wild card?

@Stacey

HEY LADIES! So excited to be together on this new venture! And I'm excited to meet all of our team and get to know everyone better!

I'm usually on my iPhone except at night, so I apologize if I don't reply right away... I wish they would fix that darn app!

Interesting - I thought you guys could at least see it. Ok, t..."

YAY!!!!

I couldn't get in either... said "You Need Permission".... just waiting on an email for permission

Oh no! Please no title relays ;( lol

Hey Billy! I'm on my phone right now but will try to send you a message later on my computer on how to do that. Unless Teddie beats me to it ;)
No worries! We'll get you fixed up!

Hey All! Or as we say in Texas Y'all!
I've signed on to help Teddie as co-captain for our Bones Team :D

I'm 47, married with 3 boys. Twins who are turning 15 and our youngest at 13. A house full of testosterone teens! I'm an Occupational Therapist but am only working PRN as we live in a very rural area SE of Dallas. Funny tidbit, is I was born a Yankee from the very place Teddie is from. Destiny you say?

I am addicted to reading and love all genres, started as a kid with Judy Blume and then Stephen King. Now I prefer Thrillers, Mystery, Fantasy, Sci-Fi then the others follow in random order.
I read Ebooks and listen to audiobooks voraciously ! If I'm not reading, I'm listening.

This is my first Uno game, but I've played Wobble with Victoria and Stacey. I was captain during that game. I'm also playing other challenges right now, Bingo and Clean Sweep.

I'd like to get the ball rolling on some chatter...
Who has read our book Halfway to the Grave? I have had it on my To Read list and will have to move it up towards the top!
How did you like it? Ratings? No spoilers please ;)
