No, but I like the idea ;)

Quick game while we wait for UNO? ;)

                                ~BINGO While we wait for UNO 2024~

This was our February 2015 mini challenge!

◈ Books with a read date between January 9 - January 25, 2024 count
◈ As a group, get "BINGO" by reading books for five squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to create a line (there are 12 possible lines)
◈ Only one book per square
◈ "Free Space" square means you can read any book
◈ The usual book length rules apply, Books must be more than 160 pages in length and Children's books and Graphic Novels can not be used unless by word count they can be verified as more than 40,000 words using arbookfind.com
◈ Let's see how long it takes us to complete the Bingo square? ;)

Once you have finished a book enter the details into the spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/... and also post in this thread! :)

By Joyce

To my UNO friends, lend me an ear,
A tale of Joyce, let me make it clear.
In the realm of cards, where friendships bloom,
Joyce Gravino, a soul in full bloom.

With mystery's allure, she crafts her delight,
Paranormal whispers, in the still of night.
Science fiction galaxies, where dreams take flight,
Her reading journey, a wondrous height.

In the shadows of words, a touch of horror light,
Joyce embraces the eerie, with courage in sight.
A Kindle in hand, and audio tales in the air,
Every chapter a dance, a literary affair.

Patiently, she savors each sentence and phrase,
In the world of literature, where wonder plays.
A slow reader, but every day a new quest,
In the bookish haven, she finds her best.

So here's to Joyce, with books as her guide,
In the UNO circle, where friendships abide.
A reader, a dreamer, in every way,
Let the cards unfold, let the games begin today!

Well done, Joyce! 👏🏻

Twas the month before Uno when all through the threads,
The players are waiting for the sign ups ahead,
The mods are planning to send things out,
Telling all players we will give you a shout!

The mods finally ask if everyone's ready,
shouting sign ups are open and coming in steady.
But please don't forget to set up your UNO shelf,
Thankfully I remembered to do this myself.

In the mean time we're all watching the UNO pre-chat,
laughing and talking while learning the facts.
At this time you should read all the rules,
You may discover they are some great little tools.

While skips and reverse may seem a little tricky,
Ask your captain, don't go searching on Wiki.
There are red cards and blue cards, green and yellow too,
Don't be intimidated, you'll learn what to do!

Uno is fun, it's a great reading challenge!
Keep the TBR handy you will need it to scavenge.
Chatting with your team is just part of fun,
While checking the stats, Is the team #1?

You'll make new friends that enable your addiction
Adding books to your shelf, maybe a mystery or some fiction.
As these friendships continue to develop and grow,
Players remain elated with a love that will overflow!

As the last weeks draw near and we're all in a tizzy,
Quickly reading those books that's keeping us busy.
On the last day, with frowns on our face,
Saddened because we are leaving our happy place.

Mark your calendar and begin to plot,
You'll be ready again because UNO IS HOT!
Now that you know there's no reason to fear,
Our favorite game Uno will return next year!!!

In the realm of words, where dreams unfurl,
Where tales are woven, and stories twirl,
There lies a challenge, bold and grand,
The UNO Book Reading Challenge, we understand.


In the year of 2024, amidst the pages' grace,
Seekers of knowledge embark on this noble chase,
From books of vast wisdom, be it fiction or fact,
They immerse their souls, ready to interact.


With the turn of each page, a world blooms anew,
Characters dance, narratives painted in hues,
Imagination soars, as hearts and minds entwine,
Like restless birds, taking flight in each line.


From ancient prose to modern verse,
The UNO Challenge, an invitation to immerse,
Unveiling stories' beauty, in every hidden nook,
Discovery, love, sorrow, redemption—their very look.


The first book whispers secrets, tales untold,
A path through history, memories unfold,
As ink stains the pages, emotions ignite,
Each chapter caresses, like a candle's gentle light.


The second book, a melody on the wind,
A symphony of words, harmonies within,
It paints a vivid picture, hues of every shade,
Notes dancing on pages, where rhythm is laid.


The third book delves deep, through souls it seeps,
Unveiling the human heart, where passion creeps,
Joy and despair, woven in a masterful hand,
Words like brushstrokes, on life's intricate strand.


As each book unraveled, the challenge complete,
Like a jigsaw puzzle, emotions bittersweet,
For within those pages, moments came alive,
Moments of reflection, as their souls did strive.


In the UNO Challenge, we poets and readers unite,
Bound by the magic of words, love for literature's light,
2024, a year etched in pages, forever we'll hold,
The power of the written word's embrace, bold and bold.

Looking for colour covers for books?

Here are the links to our uno coloured shelves. It would be great if you can add any books you find to these shelves, or "recommend" the book to the pixie and we can add it.
This helps keep our own little database of cover colours for UNO :)

red covers
blue covers
green covers
yellow covers

Important note
Some books on this list may not seem like the colour cover. This is because GR will show the default version. There may be a specific version that has been shelved that is the actual colour. The version you read is what you should shelve, and is what counts, for UNO

Note: If you also like to shelve coloured covers, you can shelve coloured books as these shelf names:
uno-yellow
uno-green
uno-red
uno-blue

:)
