ohhh, I loved Scarlet.. just waiting to read Fairest now! Good choice for the reverse!!

hi June, and welcome!!

I have a few more books to add, but I want to get close to finishing these ones first and then decide what I 'm going to read next!

ahhh that's too bad. Now we can't count it for the Uno challenge. The challenge doesn't officially start until February 1st.

Hi Teddie and Alexa!

I'll look tomorrow night! I want to try to finish what I'm reading tonight!

It makes more sense seeing it! Good thinking:) That last card will be super easy to fill and we will be able to move on to the next hand!
They still have a few days to check in. I 'm sure they will soon!

There are so many options for us to use! ( for this hand anyway because of the cards we were given ) What you have there now also works. You are captain, I 'd say go with what you want and if our suggestions make it easier for you then use what you can.

Going with what you have.. we only need 2 more books to be read for that 1st hand because either the wild or the the wild draw 4 will also work for draw 2!

Yes that makes sense!

Am I that predictable?
;)"

Nope , smart & organized!! Can't wait to see what you guys will come up with for the Wheelathon!!

Beth (Ducky) wrote: "That's a good idea, Laura. We can also do that with The Secret Place. If you read it first, you can take 8 and I'll take reverse. If I read it first, I can take 8 and you can take r..."

Yes, exactly! Though we want to use the secret place for card 5 not 8 :)

Yes, I am a Tana French fan! I love her books. I 'm excited to read the new one. I need to get it finished before its due back at the library!

hi Kirsten!

It doesn't matter to me. Whichever book is used can be used twice ( at least this time in this hand because of the draw 2 card) The other book as you said can be used for the wild draw 4. Since both work use whoever finishes first.

My Elly Griffith book can work for both the 8's because of the draw 2 card! We may get through this first hand quickly!

lol.. I knew Karen would have a spreadsheet!

I will read The Secret Place by Tana French. Works for card 5
The Outcast Dead by Elly Griffiths. Works for card 8

If you guys ever want me to try something different or do something differently as captain, let me know..."

I think Beth it would be worthwhile asking Karen if we can get the spreadsheet to work like the spreadsheets that are in NBRC for tower teams. It would save you a lot of time.
