Laura Kushmi,
wild card means that any card that fits cards 0-9 will work for wild. Any book fits for wild card 4.

Hey team, Well done, we are almost finished our regular UNO cards. We still have several Easter mini tasks but we are making good progress on those.

I am currently reading Bright Side ( works for orange cover task) UNO is one of my favorite team challenges. This year was no different. I especially loved the mini challenges. Very creative. Quite sad that we are finishing up our last week of UNO.

9 or 4 are the cards left to finish. Alissa said she is reading a book with "Monday" in the text, which would almost finish off the Ove "Egg". Can you find a book with a cover that has water on it that would interest you?

Do you know if anyone is reading any books for those 2 cards ? :)
Hopefully the two I'm reading now can be used for the mini. :)

Laura Kushmi wrote: "I'm sort of a Fan of Neil Gaiman, so would this work The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman ?"

Yes , it would work! Your other 2 books will work for the mini as well. We can use them in the spell out options and I will check and see if they work for the page number tasks and the search in text tasks. ( so we have a few options)

I know that one of Lulu's books will work for a 4.

Awesome :). Oh that's good, I just picked up We are all completely besides our self and started reading it without checking if it would work.

Okay, I'm sure one of the others are probably reading something that would work for the 9 :)
