do you mean on the spreadsheet?
if so they should be there in rows 1&2 in an orange box. I froze them so when you scroll down they still show at the top? if not there i will try figure it out

GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!

On that note …
12 HOURS TO GO!!!

I really hope you enjoy it! Please let me know what you think

I just finished the fury last night. Was excellent.
I will start this weekend with Eye for an Eye for a yellow cover we need.

My current read has so many of these words in it, gone with the most obscure. added to the SS now as will finish it in a couple hours

Think this means for UK we cant start until 9am. I'll sit on my hands....

The countdown to the start of the challenge: (also in message 6)
https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

And also, if you start a book the 2nd feb and don’t finish it until 5th of March, we can just use it for next months hands

And just a reminder, books can only count if you start reading them once this challenge begins. Any you’re reading now and finish over the weekend will not count!

Hi all, sorry have been MIA, have had a mad 10 days with work trips and social events, but back at my desk and back in the land of the living now.
Ive read two books that would work for Red in this challenge, and loved them equally.


Nice to see lots of books added to the spreadsheet.
If you cant work out the links bit of adding your book, then fill in the title and author and Ill fill in the book links on GR as we go!

Were still waiting on a couple more check ins, but if you are a bit of a planner (like me) then feel free to add your books onto the spreadsheet.
We have the following Colour cards we need to cover, so be on the look out if any of your books work for these:

📗2 Green
📗3 Green
📗8 Green
📗9 Green
📗Skip
📘2 Blue
📘Skip
📒0 Yellow
📒Skip
📕0 Red
📕7 Red
📕Skip

4x WD4 (which to remind everyone are cards duplicating one of the colour cards above, but we can only dupe it once)

"

Id say this can definitely work for blue! I read this recently and enjoyed it.

Ive completed a task today, worked for a couple but thought letter might be most obscure.

Any question you have about the challenge Liza, ask away. It is an easy one and I imagine youll have no problems picking it up. I have entered my first intended book onto the tracking spreadsheet, so you can see how it works. The important bit for us captains is to know how the book would fit for all the other uno cards, since it can be a juggling act at the end. List as many characters as you can, since we'll likely have not read the book ourselves, we wont know their names.

Hi Hailey, glad you found us!! seems we all like similar genres. I have never knitted or crocheted but I love doing puzzles, I always have a 1000 piece (or bigger) on the go which i always audiobook to!!

Just FYI all, with Vicki and her impressive reading ability leaving our team we have 5 new members joining us soon. Exciting!!
