No its not a color challenge, only 8 of our cards need to have specific cover colors. No worries we will help you.

Countdown to March

[Luna]

Good Morning Everyone. Question, if I decide to read a book in March read by one of you in Feb does it still count ?

Kushmi wrote: "Good Morning Everyone. Question, if I decide to read a book in March read by one of you in Feb does it still count ?"

If you read a book in March read by one of your own teammates it will count as a reverse card.

If you read a book in March from the Valentine's team that they read in February it will not count for the mini challenge.
Any books read in March can't count for February.

( I'm not sure which you were asking so gave you both possible answers)

[Luna]

Ahhh okay. Thanks Laura :). Nearly done with Wink Poppy Midnight. Will be finished by today :)

I was thinking about reading Dark Lover by JR Wars but I don't know how to check if it's enough red on the cover :(

[Alissa]

I think it's enough

[Lulu]

Alissa wrote: " I think it's enough"


Yes it is.

http://labs.tineye.com/color/ is a good place to check. You can drag and drop the cover on the page and it will give you the different percentages.

It was also Published in Feb if you wanted to use it for this month.

[Lulu]

Tomorrow is the last day of Feb everyone. Have a look at the Spreadsheet to see how we did.

I loved the first month of UNO, this is one of the few challenges that you can read what you like. I love seeing all the books that teammates read and I 'm happy Anna poked me into the right direction with the Chronicles of Kerrigan. I always like the mini challenges but this one was my favorite. I'm hoping that our team can work even better together for the next mini challenge that they throw at us, as they are a real point winner or breaker!!

You guys did great!! I hope you enjoyed the first month of UNO as much as I did. Lulu, last but not least:-) ... thanks for being an awesome co-captain!!

EDIT--- I stuck several books I plan to read in March on the planning spreadsheet. If anyone wants access to planning spreadsheet feel free to ask.

Yes Anna you can use A Study in Charlotte for March. You can start it today or wait until Wednesday. Just remember that if you start it today and finish it before Wednesday we cannot use it for March.

The order of the cards does not matter really. As long as your book fits the criteria for the cards we will find a place to put it. As a reminder the letters we are looking to match with your book are Z, O, T, H, F, I, S, V, E, N, K and P. And the reverse cards work for books a member of our team has already read.

Here is the list of what cards and the number of times they occur for the month of March.

Thanks Laura :)
I feel like you definitely set the tone for a great start and I have had plenty of fun this month too.

I meant to ask you how you liked Everything, Everything?

[Lulu]

Reminder
Everyone please double check that their books read this past month are on both their read shelf and UNO shelf.

I gave it a 4 stars! YA is one of my favorite genres. It still blows my mind that Maddy's (view spoiler)[ mom basically kept in her a bubble because she was so grief striken. (hide spoiler)]

[Alissa]

I had fun with it this month and am looking forward to the new mini challenge for March. I like how the color has now been added. I plan to put some books on the planning spreadsheet.

[Alissa]

Great...I put it on hold with my library fingers crossed it comes in soon.

[Alissa]

It was good, only sad that I got into the habit of reading very late :(.
I already added some books I plan on reading in March, hope that's fine ? :)

[Luna]

Also just out of curiosity, I was wondering. How come some teams have more points for books read in Feb, if we finished all our hands too ?

[Lulu]

Kushmi wrote: "Also just out of curiosity, I was wondering. How come some teams have more points for books read in Feb, if we finished all our hands too ?"

Of course it's fine that you already added some books in the planning sheet for March

All teams have a different arrangement of cards so there will be slight variations in point totals for cards. Also if a team finished the mini then they will have more points.

We still have 10 open spots in the mini part one but yes we did finish all of the cards and hands.

[Lulu]

Everyone - READ ME
If you are looking for a quick read to finish before the end of Feb try one of the following. All Published in Feb!

School of Charm
Pippi Longstocking
How to Train Your Dragon

[Luna]

Hey, I shall read How to Train Your Dragon today and finish if no one minds :)

:). Ahhh okay, guess that makes sense. :)

[Luna]

Finished How To Train Your Dragon. Hopefully Audio books are allowed, cause I technically listened while studying. And it was read by David Tenant, whom I just love from Doctor Who and Broadchurch. :)

[Anna]

I hope audiobook excepted because that's the only weapon reading what if he only way I can read books

[Laura]

Audio books are definitely allowed!
Great job Kushmi!!
