Woohoo! Thank you so much!

We're at the home stretch for this month! How's everyone feeling about their last mini challenge reads? I'm about to finish The Cruel Prince and am hooked - can't wait to get my hands on the sequel. Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone was a bit of a slow start, but I finally found a rhythm with this one.

I have a few requests for some of the completed mini reads so we can finalize them in our team spreadsheet.

Kimber, can you please add links to your 3 mini books that don't have them?

Brittany, can you add A Fiancee's Guide... to your Uno shelf, please? I saw it's on your read shelf, but didn't see it in the Uno one.

Molly, can you please add Glory to your shelves?

I added one more book to the mini challenge for the enemies prompt. There are only 6 more prompts that need to be filled in. So I'm feeling pretty good about us completing the mini by the end of the month! A lot of great reading the team has done!

Separately, I've only heard good things about The Guncle. Looks like I might have to add it to my March TBR :)

Awesome! Could you also add this to the main tracking sheet when you get a chance? That way we can also see what hand this can go into.

Thanks for inputting all of these to the sheet and creating your shelf! That's quite a bit of reading you've completed so far!

Molly wrote: "Thanks, Steph!"

Thank YOU!

A book can only be used once for one of the mini prompts. I'd suggest as keeping this book under the prompt for "west in the title", as the other is a bit looser and might be easier to fill in.

Brittany wrote: "I added books for mini, but do they go on the main book sheet too?

Can I please be added to the player dropdown menu?"

I added you to the dropdowns. And yes, the books do need to go in the main tracking sheet and the mini sheet for the ones that qualify. Though I saw you already added them into the main tracking sheet :)

When you get a chance, could you share what your Uno shelf is, and make sure that all your February reads are added to it? Once that's setup and we're able to check it, we'll start adding your books to the February hands!

Brittany wrote: "Hello all! just joining in as a backup! No idea what's going on but will read through and try to figure it out. What can I do to hep out right now?"

Welcome, Brittany! It would be great to hear a little bit more about you - where you join us from, if you've played Uno before, what you typically read :)

We are roughly halfway through all of our Uno cards and, similarly, we have about half of the mini prompts for the rest of the month planned out. If you have anything on the docket that can be added into the open prompts, feel free to add them into the sheet below! And if you have any questions or need some clarification, let us know. Kate, Heather, and I are the captains/co-captains of the team, but the whole team has gotten a good handle on the flow of things for this year's challenge, so post your questions as they come up!

Agreed on Katniss classifying as a warrior!

The book I'm wrapping up, Final Offer, has a mention of karate near the end, so I've added that to the Mini tracking sheet. Will be looking through what my next read can be that can fill some of those blanks.

I'll remember to add to the 'tracking' sheet next time"

Thanks for confirming!

Actually, I solved the mystery of the books being added to the mini challenge. If you could please make sure to add the books that work for the mini prompts to the tracking sheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...), that would be great. This is the one we've been using for planning, as the Team Streaked Tenec sheet is for the captains to populate once the books have been completed.

Camille and Kimber, the books you added seem to work! Camille, I just wanted to confirm that the neverbird in God of Neverland is an actual bird/bird shapeshifter, correct? Making sure our bases are covered :)

Cstidsen wrote: "I also added some books to the mini spreadsheet. Will still keep track for other uses in the mini, if we need to move stuff around :)"

Just wanted to confirm that you did add some stuff to the mini sheet? I'm not seeing anything, but not sure if it's just my page not updating.

We can figure it out as you get closer to finishing, but Red 4 might be more of a challenge than Red 9, so if we can go for that one, I'd say let's plan for that.

Yup, they’ll still count for the regular Uno cards. And no worries! It’s kind of confusing. I still have to constantly refer to the rules to make sure I’m not misinterpreting anything :)

Following up on this, I think the options for both #26 and #36 work, so feel free to add them into the mini's tracking sheet. Just make sure you don't finish them before Feb 14th :)

@Violeta - The books that can be used for the mini challenge must be completed after Feb 14th (the specific time is noted in the mini post). So unfortunately, Violeta wouldn’t count for any task since you already finished reading that. The book you have listed for 21 works, but let me confirm on the other two.

@Varsha - Yes, you can go ahead and take that task! It doesn’t look like anyone has claimed it in the mini tracking sheet, so just make sure you add it there so everyone knows they don’t need to look for that one.

I think that should work. Thanks for squeezing that in!

Finally finished my first book!
