Thanks Trinia!
Thanks everyone!I know April has been busy :)
For the Easter Egg Hunt - if possible, would you look and try to read for the trickier tasks? We'll have more flexibility filling in a letter task than a "Book set in Germany" task, for example.
Shamber wrote: "Oh I can do that Teddie! :)"Awesome! :)
I've started
, it should fit in a bunch of tasks.I also borrowed winnie the pooh from the library!
Little late I guess but Happy Easter Team Bones, from everyone over at Team Becky Bloomwood!

I'll add it to the Water on Cover for now, with those others as options ! Thanks for the update!
What is our page number requirement? I have an Italy book, but its 140 p. Wasn't sure if we needed 125 or 150. :)

I noticed a hashtag on twitter today - thought you would be interested as there are a number of authors we all know and love chiming in:ThingsOnlyWomenWritersHear

Ha! That's a funny one.... Thanks for sharing ;D
I finished A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms yesterday. I've now read most of published items in the Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire series/world.

One day I swear I am going to get to those Series! Quite an undertaking... congrats on finishing (most) !!!

YAY! We are moving along...
Team ~ Let's try to finish off those eggs that have already been started... we get an extra 5 points for each "completed egg".

Yes, I think it's safe to assume that Kris Kringle is obsessed with Christmas - LOL :D

Oh, I am so feeling the TGIF today :)
Hey Team, Please don't get nervous on our Easter Egg Hunt spreadsheet. I've been trying to rearrange to maximize our points. If you can't find a book, I moved it to another location that you put as an alternate task. If I make a mistake, please let me know! Thanks all!

I put it under witches for now on the spreadsheet, as it completed that egg task ;)
Yes it is quite the undertaking! that's part of the reason I haven't started the Dark Towers series. If you watch the show, the first few seasons are pretty spot on with the books. Thanks for working the spreadsheet so master-mindfully!! :)
Question for our fearless leaders. It looks like I'm going to be reading
this week. When I look at the book, I say white cover. When Tineye looks at it, it says grey color. Since we have both slots in the eggs, which place should I put it?
I'll say start with white, put the grey cover number in the last column as a reminder . That make sense? From my phone it looks like a grey one is filled in.
Trinia wrote: "I'll say start with white, put the grey cover number in the last column as a reminder . That make sense? From my phone it looks like a grey one is filled in."
Yeah, it is. I saw that when I rechecked. Oh well, maybe it will fit something else.
I think it passes for white. Sometimes that tineye is wonky ;)
Hey Team! The Reality is setting in! Just one week left in Uno... Let's see what we can cram in for this last week... please stop by the spreadsheet and pick some books to read. Remember anything over 100 pages is accepted!
Please comment on the thread , stop by say Hi! Soon it's time to say goodbye :(
Howdy. I moved my book Sheltered to one of its other slots. The page numbers for the edition I read is listed wrong on GoodReads, and I don't want there to be an issue. Plus there wasn't any other book listed in that egg, and I think where I moved it we can get filled. Let me know if I messed up. :)
Hi team! I know I haven't been very active on the thread for this challenge, but I have really enjoyed playing Uno with you all!! This has been a totally fun challenge for me. I'll probably get in at least 5 more books before the game ends.I wish you all the best after we move on from Uno! :)

This is a fun challenge and I'm so glad to have met everyone! It looks like we will possibly run into each other in other challenges too. I've seen some of your names already ;)
HOLY S@#$!!! We are in the last week! I'll be updating my books from the last week onto GR and the spreadsheet today. And hopefully find a few more books that work for the rest of these eggs :)

A few eggs that still need 1 more book:
- book with a decorator
- book where MC works in a church (a couple of the Sookie Stackhouse books could work for this I think.)
- book with President as char - the Hunger Games books should work for this, if anyone wants to read one of those?
I have a book with a garden, but I'm not positive I'll get to it.
I'm thinking of reading
for a book with a white cover. Then we would only need a book with a rabbit on the cover. Anyone have one of those?? lol
Or, if someone has another book with an Animal as a main character, we can move Trinia's book from #91 to that second rabbit task. (BTW, 2 rabbits on the covers tasks? That's just mean. )
Looking at YOU Annika ;)
LMAO! Teddie! That GIF!!! HAAAAAHHHHAAAA! That's a twofer for sure.... just like those rabbits!
I found 2 shorty audiobooks on my amazon prime list.
which is 3h 31 minsor
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Narrated by Scarlett Johansson, for 2 hr 44 mins.... I'm not sure this one is long enough??? I will look for a link... anyone familiar with it?
Not sure about Alice's Adventures, but the audiobook version of Winnie the Pooh that I'm listening to - the narrator's rendering of Piglet oinking sounds more like Piglet... with flatulence. It kills my kids as I drive them to school - bonus! lol
Lol! I thought that was hysterical too!!! I imagined the narrator sitting there tooting :DI've started Timeless tales of Beatrix Potter. Never read these books as a kid ;)
I maaay be able to squeeze one more book in, but I hate to take a spot until I know for sure in case someone else has something. I'll keep checking on the sheet.
I found a shortish cozy mystery with a designer -- and cheap on kindle :) --so I'll take that one. I have a France book too, but its longer so let me make sure I can get that one done before I sign up for it. Thanks everyone for making this such a fun un-stressful challenge. I have enjoyed playing and contributing while not feeling like I HAD to get a certain book done. :)

A little over 4 days left to UNO 2017:
Countdown to the end of UNO
Tomorrow I should finish
for White Cover task.I'm going to read
for the task where a character is a President.There's a chance I can get 1-2 more in after those.
Otherwise, I'll be done too...
I've really enjoyed this game too! I can't believe how fast it went... Keep an eye out for me in other challenges ;D I'll be playing!
I can probably squeak in one more by month's end - I can read either
(book in Germany/line 24, "S"/line 13, 7 & 2 in page count/line 22) or
("N"/line 15, "S"/line 13) or
("A"/line 14, set in France/line 57)....which would be best awesome leaders??

And if he does finish, we can always move it to a spell it out task ;D
I have some more to add. Going to do that now.Teddie and Trinia, you both have done a great job leading us in this challenge!!! So glad to have been on your team! :)

Thank you Michelle :D
Wow !!! You are one busy reader ;D Thanks for adding those, I am impressed at how well everyone pitched it... Great job team!
I'm caught up with the spreadsheets but will probably get in another 4-ish books. ;-)

I think better late than never ; Thanks Shamber!
Our goal is to finish all the mini challenges. Maybe we can try to complete the "EGGS" , that is to complete each individual task (24 in total). We get 5 points for each egg that gets completed.
Currently it looks like the Spell-it-outs are filling in, so maybe start with those and then we can move on. It will be important to fill in the last column on our worksheet, so as captain/co , Teddie and I can rearrange for maximum pointage!
This is our last month/challenge for the Uno game!
