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

My statement should work for any number through 9, aside from 0. So the example of 3.1 and 3.5 would also be 3.

I was under the impression the 2.5 book could count for 2, etc. just not the 0.5 books since those are Standalone

Same Megan! I think I own 2 or 3 now....they would all be rereads though.

I think my first UNO read will be The Familiars by Stacey Halls. She wrote The Lost Orphan if any of you have read that.

I'm also reading a lot of true-crime and non fiction right now, so we'll see how long this phase lasts. I get going on binges with my reading Genres

Less than a week away!!! I hope you're all excited

Also if any of you haven't accepted mine or Melissa's friend request, please do so. It makes it much easier to check books or message you in case anything comes up! :)

Shy that book sounds interesting! Got a lot of really good reviews and I see there's a whole fan base excited for the sequel. you'll have to tell us how it is.

I also think I'll start with my 2 color cards and then see what I feel like knocking off my TBR afterwards!

Hooray!!!! I believe we're all here! Does anyone have any plans for their first read yet?

No worries Joi! You don't even have to do a color cover if you don't want. Those are the only ones we will claim, just to make sure they're covered.

For all our newbies: I have posted an example tracking post on our tracking spreadsheet! It's highlighted in orange at the top. Please take a look and let us know if you have any questions for how you will input/track books

I can take our 3 Blue as well

That makes my heart so happy Chava!!! I don't have kids yet but I can only hope my kids will be that HP crazy someday!! I would be so happy

I've been wanting to read that Melissa! Just haven't gotten to it yet. Maybe I'll use it as a reverse during UNO

Hi everyone!! So excited to get started soon :) the UNO itch has been strong this month and I've been reading less to hold my books for next month

Hi again team! So to kick off our color card discussion:

I can take our 8 Blue card this month. I have tried to get to a million times now. This is the chance!!! Since the author's last name is E 🎉

No worries! Excited to have you on board :) we'll post in here when the Narnia thread is open for everyone

Youre on team Narnia Joi. Thats why I friended you earlier. We haven't quite finished setup yet

Hi team! Welcome to Narnia!! I'm Jessica (Jess), your Co-Captain for this years UNO Challenge. The wonderful Melissa will be our team's captain this year 💞. This is my 2nd year playing UNO and 2nd year co-captaining. I enjoyed UNO so much last year I brought my best friend along with me this year (hi Megan! 👋). I have also sent friend requests to all of you!

I love reading, obviously. I don't have a favorite genre, but my all-time favorite series is Harry Potter and I promise I will be reading them for this challenge. My least favorite genre is romance.

Aside from reading, I enjoy watching anime and I'm really excited for the Winter Olympics coming up next month! I'm hardcore about watching the Olympics and was excited we got to have them back to back.

I'm really looking forward to being your co-captain and getting to read with you all! When the chat is opened up for all, please introduce yourselves! Is this your first UNO? Favorite kinds of books? Any interesting hobbies? If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!!

Watch them get posted while I'm at work today now! lol. I've been checking diligently

Teams! Teams! Teams!

Any hints on the theme this year? 👀
