We have the green light for your yellow book from the captains group - Yay!"

Woot!!

That means I don't have to read a yellow this time??? YAY! I think I'll keep in them the pot just in case we need them for other rounds.

Hi Kunal and Sreshtha! Welcome.

I usually just read a book and fill in where it fits as I go along. The only reason I'm looking for colors is because the yellow was such a struggle last year, but it looks like this year it's taken care of!

TinEye is the bane of my existence!!

Did you TinEye it, Lisa? Sometimes things that look yellow don't come up that way on the color extractor.

Hey Richelle! Welcome!!

Lisa, I'm not that organized except I know from playing last year how hard the colors can be so I am specifically looking for those. Everything else, I just do as I go along.

Oh Karen! Your book also works for #4 Yellow too!!! one of the main character's names is Emily Fields.

better than telling me it is completely crap ;)"

LMAO! Actually that series was a bit of a guilty pleasure for me a while back. I mean it's not going to win any awards or anything but I enjoyed it for what it was.

which works for yellow 1
so I'll put that on my list for Feb to read first"

That one is actually not too bad. Let me see what I can find for yellow.

Thanks, Karen.

I'm going to snag a few spaces and try to get some options for colors now. The rest I like to just read and then fill in as I go.

you can put books down for more than one card, Terri (not sure if you knew that).

For example: the book Pipe Dreams

could go for:
1 (character O'Doul)
3 (third in series)
6 (author Sarina)
8 (character Elsa)
9 (setting New York)
Skip (title P)
Reverse (read by Sassafrass)


so you want to give all the options possible for each book (when you track) so that the captains can use the book in the way most advantageous to us.

Now some of that stuff you won't know until actually reading (like some of the secondary characters) but I was trying to give you a good example and I used that for Uno last year so I know what I used it for. LOL

Teri! Disregard everything I said. I didn't see the TEAM TRACKING SHEET in post #6. You should claim yourself some spots there and you can list your possible books if we are able to.

I'm not a captain, so I'm not exactly sure. We'll see what they say, but last year, they filled out the official Spreadsheet and we had a google doc that we posted our finished books on with all the ways that they fit so that the captains could put them where it was most beneficial.

However, you may want to see if you have books that fit the colored cards. Those can be difficult to fit sometimes. I'm actually going to look at those now. I just remember having to read this awful yellow book last year. I still shudder remembering it. LOL

Hi Terri,

Since we can't start until 2/1, I'm not sure. I usually just filled it either during the time I'm reading so I don't forget names and such or right after I was done.

Hi everyone!

I'm Sass and I live right outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the US.

This is my second time playing UNO and I'm looking forward to it. During the week I'm pretty busy with being a part time Healthcare provider and full time mom (boy 13 and girl 11) and wife (just celebrated 17 years of marriage on 12/23) so I usually get my reading done at the end of the week.

I'm not always able to be chatty but I am always checking in. I'm a die hard romance girl but I read anything. I usually just find a book that will have some romance in it, LOL.

And I'm jealous of you Aussies and your heat. We are just getting over a snowstorm and it's frigid here. Apoorv is lucky because he's in India and missed all the fun. But right now it's 7F (-14C) here. I would so rather be in a heatwave right about now!!!
