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

I’m about to get on my computer in a little bit and I’ll work on the spreadsheet

can work for touch as they are touching on the cover

Some ideas for cover options:
Stomach- cover with shirtless person
Airtight- closed bottle or airplane on cover
Touch- someone holding on to something
Glass- mirror or drinking glass of some kind
Kiwi fruit- light green on cover or green and black cover
Pure- baby on cover? Lol idk for this one

Also reading but will have to check in the book for any of the words

Finished for 0 yellow on 2/14

Also works for “diagonally” as the straw has a diagonal pattern on it

I discovered playaway at my library this week. It is audio book.

do they count?"

They do. You just have to use the default book edition on goodreads so we know how many pages it is

Everything is updated to here and on the spreadsheet. I am about to leave so didn't have time to make sure books are on uno shelves so I'll double check when I get home. Hope everyone is having a good start to their week

Date read: 2/11

1 Olivia is a character
3 Hammond is a character
4 Franny is a character
6 Simon is a character
8 Emma is the Author
9 Takes place 50% of time in New York
Skip Pembrook is characters last name

Update:

Cards empty:
0- 3
1- 3
2- 3
3- 2
4- 2
5- 3
6- 5
7- 3
8- 2
9- 3
Skip- 2
Reverse
Wild Draw 4- 2
5 Red- 1
3 Yellow
0 Yellow- 1

We have the first 3 cards complete! For new UNO players, if we don't finish all the cards, we only get points for the top finished cards and then points for the next card!

So for example if we get cards 1-4 complete, two books on card 5, and card 6 complete, we could only get the points from cards 1-5.

Currently we are at 37 more books needed (we have one more Draw 2 that will work for two Wild Draw 4 cards)

Starting


for the 0 Yellow card

Completed: 2/10

I may not be as active for the next couple days. My 3 year old cousin unexpectedly passed away yesterday so just trying to take it easy for a couple days

We will let you know. We have to update the spreadsheet with your books. I wasn’t aware until yesterday that you had completed any books since we don’t have any completions posts from you and that’s the easiest way for us to know when books are completed

I just picked this up because it's only a dollar right now and we can use it for a reverse. You didn't rate it super high but I've like her other books so I figured I'd read it!

Completion:

Red cover & character Nader for 9 Red

Can everyone make sure their books are going on your uno shelves? At the end if the month I’d hate to see books be disqualified for not being on the shelves

Thanks everyone! Happy Friday

Just asked captains chat to make sure it would work but if two people read The Bride Test, the first person can go on Wild Draw 4. The second reader would go on the 3 Yellow & Reverse for draw 2
