Rachael’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

Yayyyyyyyyyyy!

All of the hands are completed! Well done team.

We can still get a few extra points if we can fill any more Part One Valentine's challenge if any of you can speed read over the next two days.

Yay! Just my book to go and we've finished all of the cards. I'll power through and try and finish mine by the end of Sunday.

If you can squeeze in any more books then we could still get a few points for Valentines challenge part 1

Ah my misunderstanding sorry. I've changed it now.

11 hands completed!

Right so just to make sure everything is up to date:

February cards have all been assigned and we need to read to complete:

Marie- The worst day of my life so far
Caly- The tailchaser's song
Tina- Perfection
Me- The handmaid's tale
Dragana- Romancing the duke

Valentine's part one

Books already assigned to be read:

Tina- Saving grace
Marie- Regarding anna
Marie- The red queen

We could still get points for:
3 x Read a book your valentine team has read this month
2 x Read a book your valentine team has read in Feb or added in Feb of any year
15 x Read a book your valentine team has read that was first published in Feb of any year
1 x Bonus: Read one book that was first published on the 14th of February of any year

Valentine's part two is completed. No more please!

A have jus..."

Changed Romancing the Duke

I put Sugar kisses there because it meant we could finish part two and get the bonus points. If I put it in part one we would've only got the additional three points. Happy to swap it out if there's another one we could put for part 2 instead so we still get the bonus points.

I've added Saving Grace on.

Ok so I've filled in the spreadsheet with what people plan to read by the end of the month:

Marie- 9- The worst day of my life so far
Caly- Wild draw 4- The tailchaser's song
Tina- Wild- Perfection
Me- 1- The handmaid's tale
Dragana- 7- Romancing the Duke

The only one we don't have a card against is 6 so can someone put themselves forward for that?

My book should count as the last book for Valentine's part 2 so we will get the bonus points.

So for the rest of the month if you can squeeze any more books in, could I ask that you go for cards in Part 1 of the Valentine's challenge so that we can keep getting points?

Hi Marie, I can get Symphony of echoes and The woodlanders to fit two of the coloured cards.

I've put the March books on the spreadsheet.

As we only have five books left for the Feb spreadsheet can we allocate a person to each card so that we know each of them is covered?

That's the card that I was planning on using for The handmaid's tale.

I have put in on the spreadsheet now

Hi Caly, I've put your book on the spreadsheet.

We're so close. I'm powering through mine so that it can fit the final 1 card.

So all we have left is:

1 nine
1 wild
1 five
1 six
1 seven

Also if we can do two more books off part 2 of the valentine's challenge we'll get some bonus points

Also:

Yes, they can be started in February, but they need to be finished in March. :)

No more two cards

10 hands finished!

1 zero
1 five
1 six
1 seven
1 eight
1 nine
1 skip
1 wild
1 wild draw 4

For the March cards, can they include books that have been started in February?

All the one and four cards are now done

1 zero
1 two
1 five
1 six
1 seven
1 eight
1 nine
1 skip
1 wild
1 wild draw 4

I'll double check about whether we can start them in Feb

1 zero
1 one
1 two
1 four
1 five
1 six
1 seven
1 eight
1 nine
1 skip
1 wild
1 wild draw 4

Completed nine hands!

All the three's are done now so no more three's needed

I'm about to finish American Psycho which can count as one of the eights and Valentine's 'characters go on a date'. I also need to read 'The handmaid's tale' for book club so that can be one of the one cards and valentine's day challenge 'friends with another author'

Which would leave:

2 zero's
1 one
1 two
2 three's
1 four
1 five
2 six's
1 seven
1 eight
1 nine
1 skip

How do you want to do this challenge? Keep concentrating on the normal uno cards and see whether we can add any of the bonus cards, or should we now concentrate on the bonus cards and come back to Uno.
