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

Would this count as red? Tineye says it's more orange than red

Already found a book that will fit for 9 Blue . The colored cards can be some of the hardest to find because it has to be a 50% cover of that specific color AND fit with the number it's given.

We have 4 Wild Draw 4's this month so that means we will have to read another book that fits for the colored cards we have.

This month we have:
9 Blue (blue cover & #9 in series or N in title/character/series/setting)
4 Green (green cover & #4 in series or F in title/char/series/setting)
1 Blue (blue cover & #1 in series or O in title/char/series/setting)
5 Red (red cover & #5 in series or I in title/char/series/setting)
3 Yellow (yellow cover & #3 in series or H in title/char/series/setting)
9 Red (red cover & #9 in series or N in title/char/series/setting)
0 Yellow (yellow cover & standalone or O in title/char/series/setting)

Since these can be hard to find, let us know if you come across one and maybe more than one of us can read it so we can knock out the Wild Draw 4 as well

We have 6 Reverse cards this month. If there is a book you plan on reading and it seems like something someone else here might have read, feel free to post and ask if anyone has read it. Or if you can compare books from their profiles, that’s another way to do it

I’m trying to finish 2 more books before the challenge starts. Tonight I’m making my own spreadsheet of books I own that will fit for the different cards

It can be by title/character/setting/series/series.

So Harry Potter would work for
1- first in series
2- second in series
3- third in series/Harry character/title
4- forth in series
5- fifth in series
6- sixth in series
8- eighth in series
Skip- Harry Potter character
Reverse- I’d anyone on our team has read the book (I read the first one)

If there is a character that starts with a Z or N then the book would also count for 0 and 9

Biggest tips for UNO:
When completing a book, mark down every place that it fits. We may need to move books around to make them fit so the more info we have on them, the better!

I’m the co-captain! I’m in Michigan so in EST. I work at an assisted living facility as a caregiver and activities coordinator. I don’t have much time to read at work but I find time outside of work as much as I can.

This is my fourth or fifth UNO. I’ve lost track by now. I’ve captain/co-captained three of them.

I also added everyone! It does make it much easier on the captains. So excited to get to know everyone!

Random tips:
- for anthologies, only the person(s) listed as editor can be counted for author!
- characters with dialogue count as characters, does not have to be main characters only

Or there is a person in the background

For the task "group of people" on the cover, how many people have to be on the cover for it to count?

I picked up that task but really not in the mood for an 800 page book

Sooo is it the 20th yet? lol

These are the ones I can commit to as of right now. I can still look for some other ones. I couldn't find anything with sunglasses on my kindle

3B* read a book where the main character end up in the hospital

8B1*: Crowd of people on the cover

11B1*: Title written in at least three different colors

19B1a*: read a book with 301-350 pages

25B1ab*: read a book where someone dies

26B1ab*: read a book with a character who is famous (actor, rock star....)

28B1ab*: read a book with "star" in the text or title

29B1ab*: read a book with "famous" in the text or title pg 314 “Trevor nodded dumbly as his eyes took in the oversized pizza box Black Jack’s was famous for”

B1-B1a-B1ab seems fun! We didn't do that during our challenge
