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

Im glad you understand! If you have any other questions be sure to let us know!!!

Heres the countdown to when you can put the books on the mini challenge sheet. The books can be *started* anytime after Feb. 1st, just not finished until the challenge starts.

MPG means Main Page Genre; books can be classified by multiple genres so its the first one its tagged under.

The books must be completed AFTER february 14th.

For the mini challenge; you guys can claim whatever books youre reading for the cards. Its more specific so its easier that way. BUT you also need to continue filling out the spreadsheet like we have been, because the books can also count for that :)

To claim a card just put the title, your name, and the reason on the mini challenge area of our spreadsheet!

I have a bunch of thrillers I need to get to so honestly this is the perfect challenge for that!! Im excited. Mini challenges always push me to read so much more.

Under “copy of Feb cards” I have a little thing that helps understand what is left a little bit better :) but I use the books that arent completed yet on there as well.

This is from the UNO pixie in the captains chat. They're still tweeking it, so some stuff is subject to change but I thing the general idea is there. I can also post the story if you guys want :))

This is an optional mini challenge for our UNO players. This month we are testing your detective skills

You will be given a mystery (posted below) and it is up to you to solve it. There are also three clues that you can earn to help you solve the mystery!

◈ Books can be started at any point since the start of the UNO challenge (Feb 1)
◈ Books need to be read after the start of this mini challenge on February 14, 7pm AEDST (countdown is here) and before March 1 at 7pm AEDST (Countdown to March is here)
◈ As a team, you will need to complete some tasks, and spell-it-outs that are related to the story. All of the tasks you need to complete are on your team spreadsheet.
These are:
1. Read a book with a housekeeper, maid or servant in the story
2. Read a book where the main character works in the medical field
3. Read a book tagged MPG science
4. Read a book where a murder occurs
5. Read a book tagged MPG mystery
6. Read a book based in Sweden or by a Swedish author
7. Read a book with an alliterative title
SPELL-IT-OUTS
Livingston ESQ
Attending Nurse
Forensics
For each task completed, or letter spelled out, your team will receive 10 points.

◈ BONUS 50 points: Solve our original mystery "The Corpulent Corpse"
To solve, your team must first complete all tasks and spell-it-outs on the spreadsheet. Then the captain / co-captain needs to PM the Pixie account with answers to the following questions (don't forget to include your team name!!):
- Who killed Faustus Dutton?
- How was it done?
- What was it about the killer that gave him or her away?
Your team get up to three guesses

◈ Need clues to solve the mystery?
As you complete one task in each of the first three parts (not the spell-it-outs, just the numbered task) you can request a clue from the Pixie account


◈ Books used for this mini challenge do not need to be separate books for what you are claiming for your UNO hands
◈ The usual book length rules apply
◈ Team spreadsheets will be updated with a mini challenge tab so that you can track your books and claim your points

Spell-it-out rules
For this mini-challenge, you are using the same rules that apply for UNO. So a letter needs to be the first letter in the book title, author first name or surname, character name or nickname, or setting. Articles (a/an/the) can be ignored in the book titles. For this spell-it-out, you can also use the first letter in the series name.

I found the info, give me a minute to get out of bed and on my computer lol

Actually havent heard anything about it yet, real rules will be up soon! I assume we have to read books with titles that fit the letters.

Nono! Its okay to have ones you havent finished, I have mine on there. I just wanted to make sure everything was updated. Sorry for miscommunication

Hey everyone! Im working on updating the spreadsheet; can everybody double check they have read dates on all the books they have finished? If they dont have dates then theyre highlighted in Red. Thanks!

Yes, as long as you havent read the book in the last 6 months.

Im glad everybody’s reading is going well! Im halfway through my audiobook and I started my second physical book yesterday :)

My weekend is okay! Its Superbowl Sunday here in the US, so thats basically all thats gone on today. Yesterday was a bunch of working and Friday night was spent playing Trumpet; audiobook is the way to go this weekend :)

Hey everyone! Hope everybody’s weekend is going great and y’all got a bunch of reading done!!! What has everyone been up to?

Good morning everyone!!! Happy UNO!!!

I have my audiobook started this morning, and Im taking a book with me on a trip to philly today, we’ll see how far I get haha.

Happy reading everyone!!!!

Im working on Neverfade right now- ahhh its so good!!
