MARCH MINI PLEASE READ

This month the mini challenge is all about our team books and authors. There are 4 ways to gain points.

As a team:
1. Read 5 books by an author of one of the team names for 15 points each
Note: Individual team member can only read each author once. It is ok if more than one team member read the same author. (see example under spoiler)
(view spoiler)[
Scenario 1:
Pixie, Mary and Tom both read a book by Neil Gaiman
Mary, and Joy read a book by Fredrik Backman
This is ok

Scenario 2:
Pixie and Tom both read a book by Neil Gaiman
Mary, and Joy read a book by Fredrik Backman
Pixie then reads another book by Neil Gaiman
The second book read by Pixie by Neil Gaiman can not count for the mini challenge (hide spoiler)]

2. Read one book that is one of the team names for 30 points
Note: Where a team name is a series book, only book 1 of the series can count for this part

3. Scavenger hunt character names in books. Find the first name of one of the characters from our team names for 5 points each. One name per book, maximum of 10 books. Each name must be different (i.e. 10 different names need to be 'hunted')
More about this part is under this spoiler:
(view spoiler)[
Scavenger Hunt

You are looking for:
♣ Names that are characters from the books from our team names.
Team names are under spoiler
(view spoiler)[
Augustus Waters
Becky Bloomwood
Bones
Buttercup
Elizabeth Bennet
Eve Dallas
Harry Dresden
Heathcliff
Hercule Poirot
Jack Torrance
Kate Daniels
Liesel Meminger
Mark Watney
Mercy Thompson
Ove
Peeta Mellark
Rachel Watson
Robert Langdon
Ron Weasley
Rose Hathaway
Sybilla (Billie) Bridgerton
Ty & Zane
Will Traynor
Yvaine (hide spoiler)]

♣ "Characters" means as per usual UNO character rules. They do not need to be listed on GR (because most character's aren't)

♣ Where one of our team names is a series book, you can take a character from any book within that series. For example, if you find Sirius that is ok as that is from Harry Potter (Team Ron Weasley)

♣ The name needs to be the name the character is known by. If they are nown as two names in their book (Sybillia and Billie) you can find either. Where they are known as one name (Mercy, not Mercedes) you can only find the name they are known as

♣ The name needs to be in context as a proper name. So finding the word "bones" in a book which is not a persons name will not count

♣ You can read the books the names derive from to find a name if you like (hide spoiler)]

You will get a 15 point bonus if your team complete all tasks for part 1-3


4. Scrabble
Create a word using the first and last letter of the team names - which words you use is up to the team - but they must be at least 4 letters long.
Read one book per letter of that word for 5 points per letter.
- 4p bonus for completed words with 7 or more letters
- 2p bonus for completed words with 5-6 letters

You can only get points for one partially finished word, i.e. if you by the end of the month have more than 1 incomplete words, you will only get 5p/book for the first word.

Example, PYRES (Yvaine is Y,E ; Buttercup is P, Kate Daniels is S, Rose Hathaway for R). Teams can complete this task more than once by creating new words, but you can't re-use letters already used.

Normal "spell-it-out" rules apply. i.e. Letter needs to be the first letter in the book title, author first name or surname, character name or nickname, or setting. Articles (a/an/the) can be ignored in the book titles. For this spell-it-out, you can also use the first letter in the series name.

This is an optional mini challenge for our UNO players.

✣ Only books read March 15-31 will count for this challenge.
✣ Please note that books started before March-15 don't count for this mini-challenge
✣ The countdown to the start of this mini challenge is here
✣ The usual book length requirement for UNO apply

I seem to be falling behind again. :(

[Brittany]

Are we good for book colors?

[Avni]

I am planning to read A Man Called Ove. It works for both task 1 and task 2.


I am also planning to read The Book Thief. It works for task 2

Book slumps happen, the nice thing about a team challenge is that they usually help get you back on track.
Pick a different book and go for it!! You can do it Kushmi.

[Laura]

Brittany wrote: "Are we good for book colors?"

Alissa and Lulu are working on their book colors and I believe are good. Kushmi admits to being in a bit of a book slump so if you want to read a book that we could use as a backup for Kushmi's 5 red then go for it!

[Laura]

Good choices Avni. I'm going to stick them on our March Mini challenge so we have a point of reference.

Ha, no worries, my book I was reading for 6blue is still on my currently reading shelf. Its a bit slow and draggy so taking me a while. I mentioned it to Lulu and she had a couple of books that worked out... Teamwork is great!!

Last year I was in a challenge called candyland which I absolutely loved, I signed up to do 3 of them plus UNO and ATW and then started Wobble. I felt I was on overload especially since candyland was task specific along with ATW... so now reading for a color task seems more like a chore than fun for me. I was quite happy that Lulu's books fit the task! There are so many options for UNO that I rarely feel like I'm reading for a specific task so I really enjoy this challenge more than most!! I learned a valuable lesson for me last year... don't sign up for too many challenges:-) Ha that being said, I have several individual challenges ongoing which I really like!

[Alissa]

It was really good I'm going to keep reading the series eventually....

[Alissa]

If we have red cards next month I would suggest reading it b/c it works for most of the numbers

:). Oh. That makes me feel better. Lol. Those are the worst kinds of books, the ones that drag on forever. Makes you not feel like reading. That’s cool, teamwork is great indeed. :)

Oh my gosh, how did you even manage that. That’s a whole lot of challenges at once. I get tired just thinking about it. Yeah, UNO is awesome, no pressure. You can read at your own pace and not feel like you got homework. I guess in that case you didn’t learn the lesson :p
