I’ve tried the reading plan post for half a month it’s not working for me so I’m going to use this plan for the duration of the challenge.

Hi Stacey, I see you found your way to Uno ( sorry, not sorry!!) Have fun.

Typo...
I’ll be listing any and all options for the mini that a book I read works for - exactly the same as we are doing for the cards. It gives captains more options to place books for the mini and it also gives players more flexibility to read

Everyone should be doing the same

My current book works for 3- #3 in series
Taste of Darkness

If it works for other options I’ll list those when finished

Hi Naomi :-)

Happy reading everyone! I've had some unexpected family problems crop up so hoping to get back to reading tomorrow

Yeah, Anna! Glad Megan helped you figure it out.

Wahooo Karen for finishing a book!!

Hi Anna,
you can read whatever you like and our captains will place the books for us.We don't have to do that. All we need to do is read and then post the read book. It doesn't matter if you and I both read a book that is #1 in a series because we need lots of each number. My suggestion pick a book that you want to read and then come here to the thread and Caroline and Megan can help you figure out what options the book works for( if they aren't around there's sure to be someone else to help) I certainly don't mind helping you figure out anything.

Book synopsis looks intriguing- let me know what you think of it. I wouldn’t mind reading this later if you really like it.

Good to know but as a player that has lots of books left to add for the month I’ll not be searching for more coloured cards when they already have been claimed by others. If anyone else reads a book that fits a color card I’m sure they’ll shout out and ask if anything already claimed can be rearranged so their coloured card can be used. There are also two more months for lots of coloured cards to be read for. In my experience reading for a specific card such as a color card has never been the result of me experiencing fun in a team challenge or being included. Fun= getting to know your teammates and all the book discussions and chatter during the duration of a challenge because this is after all the “social” challenge.

I have too many other challenges so not starting anything before uno starts is not an option for me.

I think post #51 was missed. Why would we need two more coloured cards when players have posted cards in their reading plans that will fit for the remaining two spots?

I'm ready. I m starting with the Quality of Silence and Sweep With Me. I'll be asleep when the challenge starts ( 4 am my time) so when I wake up I can start reading!! Anyone else ready and patiently/impatiently waiting for the start?

Hi Caroline,
what about Megan's yellow 8 book and Karen's blue 1 book? Those would finish off the remaining two wild 4 cards.

Hi Beth!

Wrong spot to be asking:-)

Great! I bet we could get some of the “Others” to join us. Enjoy uno and see you soon!

We should definitely do another buddy read for the next release!!

Hi Mh...popping in to say hi to you and your team!

Anna- I 've read Me Before You so that works as a reverse for another option for that card :-)

Hope you enjoy it. I did!

Yes, though only if someone else has read it. I haven't. You could compare books with the other teammates and see if maybe someone else has read it.

This is my first time playing UNO and I wasn’t sure about the rules for books either. I ended up just listing 4-5 books that I think I want to read next month. If you need help, j..."

Here are some tips for the participants that haven't played before: When reading your books for Uno have a pen and paper handy ( or your phone) to make a list of the characters that reoccur in your books. Look for the following letters: Z O T H F I S V E N K P. You already know 1-9 are the numbers of series that we are looking for. It helps!
