Oooh okay. would you say its blue, as id say its more purple by its GR page but if you have the physical copy and you say its blue the mods are happy with that.

UPDATE on the coloured cards.

7-yellow = Jackie (Five weeks)
8-green = Amy (Further Sherlock)
9-blue = Cindy (Shelter In Place)
4-red = Cindy (Five Wounds)
5-blue = Jackie (HP Order phoenix)

We also have 2 x WD4s left
0-red = Ophelie (Must love books)
4-red = Amy (failed Promise)


If you cannot commit to the ones you've said please let us know so we can see if anyone else can cover them in time :)
were completely on track to complete the month on time so great work!

Just a reminder - for titles you can use the initial of the first word only, UNLESS the first word is The, An or A then they can be ignored.

Amy, I saw you rated Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World 5*, I recommend We Are Bellingcat: Global Crime, Online Sleuths, and the Bold Future of News that is along the same lines. I thought it was brill!

Jenny - please can you add read dates to the books you've completed as per the spreadsheet on your UNO shelf please? we need to see when you've actually completed them.

Sorry Amy, I've had to remove your books 'the sign of nine' and 'death cloud' from the mini challenge as they have to be finished 14th or later unfortunately. we can still use them on the main though

Just as an update as 14 days have passed and we have 14 to go this month, we've covered 49 cards and we have 41 to go!! So right on track team!!

perfect :)

I've swapped out a couple of books and need the blue 3 to be covered now, sorry, I wanted to read some that will work for both tasks.

Wild draw 4 is just duplicating one of the coloured cards weve been given. So if you see the coloured card is filled already but you could have completed it, then it will work for WD4

Draw 2 is just using one book to fill 2 cards in the same hand

Just to confirm the mini challenge requires books FINISHED on 14th February or after but they can be started anytime during the month :)

You can only use the first letter of the title either issuing or ignoring ‘the’, ‘a’, and ‘an’. So would work for T or A only unfortunately. No worries we can still use it :)

Hi Amy,
how does your recent read 'the apprentice' work for 6 (s) or 3 (h)?
I can move it if it doesnt :)

Oooh I’ve had post-mortem on my shelf for ages. Might get to that before the challenge ends!

Sorry Ive been quiet, had a stinking cold all last week and then a manic weekend. I should be finished with The Body today or tomorrow for my fisrt coloured card, and I'm starting Where the Crawdads Sing tonight with a group of about 15 of us for a big buddy read. Spreadsheet is looking good :)

In the tracking spreadsheet add the date you finished it and make sure you add it to your uno shelf. That’s it. Oh, and feel free to post here what you read if you wanna share your love (or hate) for it. I know I’m always looking to add to my mammoth TBR haha

Ive had a play around on the spreadsheet to cover some of the draw 2 cards, so if your book is used for those you please can you mark the read date next to all 3 locations :) (if this makes no sense just let us know)

Also if you see someone's added a book that you've previously read please make a note in the other possible cards section as 'Gem has read' for example, and feel free to let us know what you thought of it :D
