Just on their Read shelf, not necessarily during the challenge. 😊

And bonus it works for Reverse (thanks Kelly!).

Continui..."

Ah yes Karen. I am now at the stage with many small grand children in bed. Lucky they give the smoochiest cuddles. 🤣

I'll be finishing my first later on today. Getting my yellows from the library today.

Hope your little one is feeling better soon, Kelly.

Yes way too hot in Sydney today. I just drove across my suburb to drop my husband off... I think I've forgotten what peak hour traffic is, boy oh boy. Looking forward to reading later on. (No Survivor tonight to distract me.. 🤣🤣🤣)

After I've torn myself away from Australian Survivor, reading will begin..🤣

Wow, I'm not a big reality TV watcher but for some reason I've always loved Survivor. My husband is doing a lot of eye rolling and sighing at the moment hee hee. Good luck to your BIL 😁

I've got a couple of library books reading to start later on tonight.. I'll see what takes my fancy later on. Happy reading everyone.

Can't wait to start.. hanging off reading for 24 hours, distracting myself by watching Australian Survivor!

We're nearly ready to go..

Another one of my yellows came into the library so can I take another WD4 for a Yellow 4 (Character F) or Yellow 0 (standalone)

Good one.

Hi team, Only two squares left in Bingo... Thanks so much Karen for putting this up and getting us into the Team Challenge mode for UNO.

I've been reading this - . It's about the Queen's early married life and they have young Prince Charles and Princess Anne in the time period of the book. Does this count for Characters have kids under 18?

Finally found a book published originally on 1 February.. That's got to be the hardest bingo square.. ever.. LOL. . And my library had it, even better.

Half way through (which is pretty good for a YA) and Robin and Marion just got engaged in a flashback scene ... so you never know what might pop up Karen.

Can't wait... I wonder what mini challenges are brewing...

dang thats a beautiful hue of red lippy you got there 😆

Just swinging by to say hi!

Team Blue-Footed Booby... yeah thats right they are Blue!

Hi Paulette, thanks for stopping by.. your animal is cute but ours is even cuter, LOL. Guess we'll have to agree to be frienemies for this year's UNO. Have a great challenge!

Hi Charanya, welcome to our team and to UNO. It's easy once you get the hang of it and you'l have fun, I promise!

Basically just read a book, you need to observe the first letter of the title, character, place, author, setting and what number it is in a series. Say for example .

Title - N so that would be a 9
Character - Eve Dallas - the E would be an 8
Character - Ian McNabb - the I would be a 5
Book 1 in a series - that would be a 1

For the colour cards, you have to have the colour of the cover plus one of the above. So say a blue cover with one of the above. (sorry I know that particular cover is not blue, just imagine it does have a blue cover for the example)

Just fill the planning spreadsheet out with these details.. and the fantastic Captains will take it from there.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Karen. Glad to be back. Lovely to play with old and new book friends.

You'll have a great trip. For our 25th wedding anniversary we went to Phuket.. with two of our adult children and had a ball. And equally a great holiday destination for kids.

Yes, that's right, Sally. The old brain still working fine, 😍
