FEBRUARY UPDATE:
As of right now we have just over 72 hours to complete February’s hands. We only have two hands that aren’t yet completed. I’ve got these members with tasks allocated to them:
Mehrnoush - 3 books (6,8,skip)
Klare - 2 books (1,skip)
Alison - 2 books (4,6)
Insiyah 2 books (blue1,reverse)

We also have 8 tasks to complete the mini.

If anyone wants to keep their book back to use in March we have Laura’s two books on the overflow which covers lots of options, seems a shame to not to use them, so let us know if you want to use them and I can do some swapping.

We’ve absolutely smashed it this month, great reading team :)

Countdown to end of February and start of March: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

I'm done...again : )

I updated the SS with the Red 2 book and Mini Challenge Task 22 White Cover for Insiyah!!!

I think I'm going to try to finish these leftover books from January L..."

Youre our hero!

Ive 200 pages of a Christmas book I need to finish but haven't had the motivation. This can be my sunday evening cozy read after a christening for a friends daughter sunday lunchtime!

Were off to London tonight, staying in the posh Waldorf Hotel compliments off my boss (google it, its lush) followed by The Gunpowder Plot immersive theatre experience tomorrow. Very Excited! Hope you all have a lovely weekend, will check back in on sunday!

On that note if anyone else is struggling to finish what they have planned just let us know or delete from the tracking sheet and those of us with spare time can go hunting our shelves :)
Life happens and this is just a challenge at the end of the day, please don’t feel pressured! (Plus we have a Robin ❤️)

SEVENTEEN COLOURED CARDS NEXT ROUND! Jeeeeeeze. I can add the cards in the morning as I’m in bed already!

I’m carrying on with my red card but I don’t think I’ll get it done by month end. It does work for two though. I’ll see if anyone else can cover otherwise I WILL get it done.
Don’t you hate it when real life gets in the way of reading 😡

My dragon republic book finally features an actual dragon!! Not that we need it but that's satisfying!

Thanks Robin, I could finish it but not having the pressure now is fab thanks. I will not complete it until march now and it will work for Red 2 6 or 7 so if we get one of those were covered already!

Andrea, my fire book for the mini only works for 2 so I swapped yours out for mine then we have Laura's for reserve as they cover a lot of cards if we need it!

Yep can start on the March ones now, should get the cards this weekend to start planning. But like you say if you want to get them finished off before March feel free!

That being said if anyone wants to take the 7 red off me feel free, I have started it but have been told I’ve got a two day work trip Monday and Tuesday next week :( typical!

Never holding anything up Laura :)

We’ve now reserved all the mini tasks and we only have 5 mains left that are up for grabs. I’ll dig out the book I can use for the fire task this morning and see where it fits!
Absolutely smashing it team!

Welcome back Elle, hope things become less hectic for you :)
Oooh I have Paris apartment, might squeeze it in next month, it covers a few card options too :)

I’m finally half way through dragon republic, and will be starting my final coloured card this weekend!

Should I track what mini tasks whatever I read next works for on the spreadshe..."

Ive just made a new spreadsheet tab called overflow. Please add any book that doesn't fit anywhere onto that and we'll see if we can work it out. Theres a place to mark if it works for any of the mini tasks even if they have already been claimed.

I'm back in the land of the living (just) and the mini has officially started!
I will be finishing club dead this morning and carrying on the ginormous chunk that is dragon republic tonight!

Yep, all books need to be finished by the end of the month

Yep I’d count a candle flame as fire absolutely!

I’m just starting the dragon republic tonight and I think it’s a location so I don’t think dragons themselves feature, but will keep my eyes peeled.

We can read the rules here here and start to plan!

I can take task #6 - trees on the cover with this book, I am reading it for my color card as well:..."

OOOH good spot!!!
I have added a new tab to the tracking sheet, please reserve any spots you think you can cover. In the 'reason' box please add any other tasks it may work for, we may need to re-jig later on in the month!
I'm loving the look of this mini, lots of varied tasks :)

I'm away this weekend for the SuperBowl so wont be back online until Tuesday morning. I'm reading but not finishing anything so we can use it for the mini ;)
Hope you all have a good weekend and happy reading.

Cant give details of the mini yet, but a reminder we cannot use any books FINISHED BEFORE 14th February 9AM UTC and use them for the mini (they can however be started anytime after the 1st). So if you want to finish your books now as were 5 days away go ahead, but equally if you want to hold off that final chapter in the hope we can use it then amazing :)

There’s hints about the mini in the captains chat so I think maybe end of the weekend when we get to see and share it!

Yeah I linked the version I read for the maze runner but when checking them today it’s going to the default version. So don’t worry about the linked version too much I’ll double check what’s shelved on each of your uno shelves as correct version . (But I know there’s exceptions to the rules with audios etc)
