Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) The book I'm about to finish was read by you, so I can do reverse, and I do want to apologize for this mini or really not all that many challenge, it is just so overwhelming for me to look at that in Normas list, is there anything specifically you want me to look for? I just function better that way, sorry😟


message 1163: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Oh my book is set in Italy, yay


message 1164: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments I know, it's a LOT! How about this section...
Read a book set in Italy
Read a book first published in 2011
Read a book where the MC's go to the zoo

You're reading From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon right? That will work for the Italy task, so if you can find something for either of the other 2, maybe I or someone can finish the last in that set? Or you can work on a spell out. We need a U for LUCK and a K for KITE and then we might try for BASKET. I have a B book going now.

message 1168: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) I thought I read a book recently where they went on a date to the zoo? Let me rack my brain it might be something you'd want to read, maybe?

Arg! It's so hard to find a task that fits for this book, so I had to start a new category. Sorry!

No worries, Aricia!

message 1176: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments Yep, that's perfect! Or any of these will finish out a task. We've started to spell out Basket, still need AST and E or K. I haven't updated us recently so I'll do that this afternoon.

Nichole | 620 comments Great Job, everyone!!

Well, that's pretty much a wrap on Uno! We are all updated and ended the game with 7903 points total. I'm not sure where we rank yet because Captains are still finalizing their spreadsheets.

Thanks for playing everyone! And sticking it out. This was my first time playing Uno but I'll definitely be back :) I am ready to slow things down though and maybe read a few of those long books I've been putting off! I'm sure we'll all cross paths again :)
