Thank you Anna, now we just need those ones that are complete on your UNO shelf to have a read date. ( that means you need to put in the date that you finished the book)

Yes, we are looking for our books to work for a card in our remaining hands and for a task in the mini challenge. So yes, it does work.

There are teams who have completed all their hands of cards, and are just working on completing all tasks in the mini challenge. This is the team currently in first place.

Sorry just saw this post.
Characters for Hugh: Hugh and Nix fall in love
The quote for the Unforgettable Hero: It doesn't list a play it just says " We know what we are, but know not what we may be." quoting Shakespeare. No play is given. Looked on Google comes from Hamlet.
Characters for Legendary lord: Sarah and Christian

Laura Ok team, our hands for March are up and we have the addition of color cards. Closer to March we can post all the cards and how many of each. We are going to keep the same game plan as this month in that we don't want to claim cards as we think it makes the game more enjoyable to read what everyone wants but we do want to plan and organize our color cards as they are worth 30 points each and a little harder to fill.

Here is what we have:
5 Red
6 Blue
7 Red
7 Blue
5 Blue
4 Red
3 Green
3 Red

You may want to pick a different book if you want it to count for this month.

All of the cards are full and we only need one card for part 2. Alissa can fill it with her current read.

Or have you looked at our valentine's hands to see if it will work for part one?
