Here is the link for message 9: UNO Pixie colour shelves.

It's okay.
Books can be started from the start of the UNO (1st Feb), and if you want to use them for March they must be finished..."

Thank you! I kept reading through the Rules message looking for those shelves! Then I checked the pre-game chat. I knew they were somewhere!

Hi--I have a couple of questions. Could someone post the links to the cover color shelves? I've looked around, but I can't remember where I saw them.

I also wanted to clarify...is it ok to start March books now if they are finished after March 1st? Or are we supposed to wait to start them?

I just finished what are probably my last 2 books for February and entered them on the spreadsheet. Let me know if something comes up that we need covered this weekend.

I can read for the blue skip.


And could read this for Blue 8. Or the WD4.

Ok. I won't worry about the mini book then and will just read whatever. Thanks!

Do we still need a book for DAY? I have both of these here:





I could save the blue book I'd planned for this weekend and use it in March and read one of these instead.

I know we need to finish February first, but I also just got a notification that this book is available. So if it happens to work for anything, I'll have it later this week, too. Is it green enough to be green?

I just got a short book that works for blue skip or 2. I was going to read it this weekend, but if it works for March, I can save it. I know blue isn't usually the most challenging color.

I finished The Worst Christmas Ever?. It was cute! I would never have picked it up if it didn't work so well for this challenge. And that's why I love these challenges!

Making good progress with The Measure, I think that's the last book I committed to reading in February, but I may get to another short one since today is a work holiday for me.

Great to hear! I just got the prequel to this from NetGalley.

I'm always looking for short-ish books for challenges or the unexpected afternoon off when I'm between books.

I just finished the audio of Cheddar Late Than Dead. I'll review and add it to the ss today.

That's the one I was thinking. It looks white to me!

Which edition are you reading? The one linked is black, but I see one of the other editions that looks white to me!

I downloaded it. I'll read a couple of chapters to make sure it's not awful before I add it to the spreadsheet.

I could maybe try to read this:

The Worst Christmas Ever?

It's free on Kindle Unlimited and pretty short. It would work for South or West in series title, right? (It says it's the South West Series)

Lexi wrote: "Denise, I moved your book to wooden object on cover as the dog (or other animal) needs to be in the title and not on the cover"

Thank you! I'm not sure how I missed that. It's even underlined!

Sorry for the multiple messages: I wanted to mention that I'm planning to start Cheddar Late Than Dead on audio tomorrow on a little road trip. I'm not sure it really matters, because it is long enough and the covers are identical, but it will not let me save the audio edition. I keep clicking "switch to this edition" and the paperback edition is what keeps getting saved. So for whatever its worth, it's the audio.

Having the mini come out BEFORE the weekend was so very helpful for me. Thank you, UNO managers. :)

And Sunny-- congrats on the exams! It must feel so freeing to be done! 🎉🎉

I am trying to make a plan. I know I'll have a fair amount of time to read in the next three days--more than usual for me. Plus, I might get some good audiobook time in the car on Saturday. So... I'm thinking and planning!

I just finished Feel the Bern. Oh my goodness. I almost didn't read this because of the political aspect, but it's been pretty fun. I like fictional Bernie Sanders as an amateur sleuth! One of the crimes they investigate is maple syrup theft. It was pretty silly, but sometimes I need that.
