Ignore entirely then, that’s perfectly acceptable for the author! Teach me for not looking properly!
Thanks!!

Im just checking everones shelves and I'm just missing a couple of things:

@mehrnoush - in hand 11 you have Darius the Great Is Not Okay down for a 2, but you appear to have read this 24th March. Please confirm if this is correct and I will remove it and use one from the overflow. If not please can you amend the 'read' date?
Also on the mini for task LL - youve got The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree down for set or author from Australia - however on the GR page for the book it looks like its set in Iran, aswell as the authors birth place. Can you confirm?

@Laura - please can you add Icecream investigations to your UNO shelf?

thanks

YAY!!! So that mean..."

Yes, everything has something allocated to it.
If anyone wants to read for a Tyrant, or a book set in Australia then we can get rid of pixies books, but happy to use them if we need to :)

ABSOLUTELY ROCKED THIS ROUND!!!

Ive pinched the last brown book, I've been meaning to read this novella for ages and its only 200 pages.

No no, you stick at them :) I'm also working on my last two.

Klare Ive swapped it out. Youre still in for daisy jones and house at the end of the world. Let me know if you want either of those out too!

Robin, you actually rock!!
I’m trying to see if I have anything to hand set in S.America as none of pixies work. My two I thought of straight away were Mexico and Costa Rica, so no dice. I’ll have a hunt on my desktop at work in an hour

Thanks! I’ll switch some around.
I found my You #4 book that’s published today on Scribd audio, so I’m hoping to get that finished a lot quicker now. I’ll see what short ones I have to tick of another mini or two

Ive just filled in two gaps with UNO pixies books. If you see you can actually fulfill that prompt please let me know as theres loads on their shelf we can use elsewhere.
Thanks!!

With only one week left of this challenge I thought I'd do a quick update.
For the Main Challenge we have 12 reserved tasks left to complete.
For the mini we have 19 unclaimed tasks. I have tried to come up with some more tasks for the second part to try include a wider range of books. We will get a partial bonus if we complete one part so I will look to do some shifting if we dont look like were going to complete it. That was a lot of tasts thrown at us this month and I'm so pleased with how well weve done!
Ive loved playing over the last few months with you all, lets try push to go out with a BANG!

Yes, either task

Thats good, I didnt think its quite red enough, more pink and black.

Hi all,
Just a reminder as we are a player down we can technically use two of UNO pixies april books. Which I'm happy to do come the end of the month if we still have gaps. Their shelf is here https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I agree, over hyped books are falling flat for me recently, so I am clearing out the backlist, and arcs not out yet!

On that note, I swapped out a couple books from the main I'm just not feeling right now. I'm not in a slump as such but I just dont have that one book thats begging me to read it, so Ive fallen a little behind.

Happiest of birthdays Andrea, I hope you had an awesome weekend!!

I feel they may treat us to something ultra cool for the 10 year anniversary! I’ve only played twice before but was a co-cap last time. It’s going to take us right up to my wedding month. Scary!!

Well sign ups are now OPEN!!!!

Oh no drama at all. We have close to 100 mini tasks so I think we’ll be needing as many as possible…..

So anyone signing up for TTX that’s starting on 1st May? I love that it falls straight after UNO so I don’t have that month of being lost between challenges!!

Also, as the main is now full up and we have TONNES of mini tasks to complete, feel free to pop the mini ones onto the overflow tab (thanks laura) if you feel they can be used as a back up come the end of the month incase anyone cant complete the ones they have listed. But we got agessssss so we're all well on track!!
