I've updated the spreadsheet with all the books I've read and matched them to books in part 2.For part 1:
We still need a completion from Kaylee on Animal Farm.
We're missing 1 book from Team Haumea
I can try to go through books submitted to the UNO challenge during the mini-challenge, but it's time consuming and I would appreciate if you all would try to do your own books. If you cant find a match you can always ask for help with a particular book and I'll try to help if I have the time.
Go to the spreadsheet and see which teams we still have open slots for.
Last day for the mini-challenge is tomorrow, Sunday! (If I remember correctly)
Im reading Animal Farm as we speak! I have like 10 pages left. I'll finish it quickly.
Also! By the way Myzan, I checked in the Captains chat and the book you have highlighted yellow is in fact yellow. I know TinEye said brown but thats been overruled :)
Hey have any of you read Animal Farm in the past? Since Im reading it for school and its a classic I assume somebody has. On that note, any books that you read from this point, make sure that you check to see if anybody has read that book! :)
Another note, I’ll read Hugo Cabret today for the last book in part 1 :)
Great! We will not finish off the mini, but at least we’re getting as many points as we possibly can.
Just finished off Hugo. That was a really fast book despite having 500 pages, because it had a lot of pictures!
@KayleeI just saw you put your completion of Animal Farm under part 2. You originally put that under part 1.
I deleted the entry in part 2 and updated the one in part 1 instead since part 1 gives more points (especially if you leave a comment in the team thread) Pleas make sure you don’t have the book twice in the captain’s SS
Kaylee, I saw you read The Hate U Give. I matched that to The Hunger Games Both MCs are 16-year-old girls facing injustices in their societies. (Team Betelgeuse)
Kaylee I’ve read Animal Farm on numerous occasions. I can read it again quickly if it needs to be a fresh read.
Fiona wrote: "Kaylee I’ve read Animal Farm on numerous occasions. I can read it again quickly if it needs to be a fresh read."Kaylee has finished Animal farm, but we can use it for reverse. I think it has to be on your read shelf though.
Fiona. I'm matching your book The Break to Yes Please. Both books are about women called Amy. (Team Andromeda)
Great!! I’ve added my most recent read and will fill in options later
Hey Guys! I've put all of the books that our MIA team members have added to their UNO Challenge shelf in our spreadsheet for this month. Can you pretty please all check those out to see if you've read them and can fill in the cards? I'm going to do the best I can but I'm sure that I'm going to miss something! Thanks!Also, Fiona, Thanks for putting that on a read shelf for me. Reverses are scarce in our shelf for some reason, and I figured SOMEBODY had read it.
Myzan, thanks for catching my mistake, I was in a hurry yesterday and didnt think about the fact that it is two separate challenges. Dur. :)
One more thing!!! I need all of you to make sure that you have shelved all of the books that you've read for the challenge on your Uno shelf!!! They dont count if you dont!!!
I've read and updated the spreadsheet (finally)Throwing Stones by Avery Cockburn
1 - character with O: Oliver Doyle
2 - title starting with T: Throwing Stones
5 - has a character I: Ian Lindsay
Rule Breaker by Lily Morton
1 - first book in the series
4 - has a character with F: Gabriel Foster
7 - has a character with V: Lars de Vries
Skip - has a character with K or P: Rebecca Poulson
I've put The Narnia books on my read shelf and updated Shamber's books in the SS. I've read the entire Narnia-series several times over the years. Last I read them was for my youngest a couple of years ago so I put 2015 as the date.
Do we put these books on our UNO shelf too?, I mean we haven't read them, but we're still using them in a way.
No those dont have to be on the uno shelf.
Does it count that I've previously read some books listed in the spreadsheet? But I haven't read them this month, but last year or so.I've previously read
- In The Absence Of Light by Adrienne Wilder
- Slam! by JL Merrow
- Reaper's Property by Joanna Wylder
that MyzanM have read this month.
I'm thinking of the Reverse card. I apologize, but I find the special cards hard to understand, but I have read these books so maybe they count.
Thanks for letting us know :) we have one Reverse card left so I’ll need those haha
Kaylee wrote: "Thanks for letting us know :) we have one Reverse card left so I’ll need those haha"haha, yes, that was my thought too. Better late then pregnant. :P
:) are those all the books you’ve read this month?
Kaylee wrote: ":) are those all the books you’ve read this month?"I've read three, and I'm nearly done with my fourth. They're in the sheet now with dates and cards. I haven't put a finished date on my fourth since, well, i'm not finished yet.
My UNO challenge shelf: UNO challenge shelf
I've updated the SS with a couple of books I missed putting on the UNO-tab. Two of those have been used for the min the third - Hexmaker - has not been match to any books. I'm frankly too tired to go through possible matches right now. It's midnight and I need to get some sleep.
I'll take care of that for you Myzan. Thanks again for all of your help!

I've just started
. It'll work for Green 9. (has 52,3% green according to TinEye) I'll probably have it fiinished by the end of the day.I'm trying to find a book that works for Green 1, but it seems to be a bit harder... How much does a character have to be present in the book to be eligible in this challenge?
I'm thinking about
which is a short story collection. One of the stories is about a boy called Olli. Would that be enough?
I just started rereading The Lightning Thief specifically for the green 1. Its the first in a series. :)
Kaylee wrote: "I just started rereading The Lightning Thief specifically for the green 1. Its the first in a series. :)"Great!
Let me know if I need to read another color book after Not Your Fault and I'll find something.
I'm only doing catch up these last days of February.
We do still have a wild draw 4. My plan was to use the book that shamber is reading for that if she finishes it. We also have two sevens and a zero left. :)
I'll see what I can do. I've just finished my book and will update with that and two more books that haven't made it to the SS yet. One fits 7 and one zero...
So that leaves a 7!
I just filled in one of the sevens with one of Fionas books!!
SS is updated!I'll go through my books to see if they fit the mini. I was so sure the mini ended Sunday, but I mixed it up with another challenge! *head desk*

Thanks for the great spreadsheet work! So when I finish Snape, we are completed on the Feb regular challenge? I will finish it by the EOM.
Shamber wrote: "Thanks for the great spreadsheet work! So when I finish Snape, we are completed on the Feb regular challenge? I will finish it by the EOM."I can also push Snape to finish next month since I see there are other stand alones that have been completed.
Shamber wrote: "Thanks for the great spreadsheet work! So when I finish Snape, we are completed on the Feb regular challenge? I will finish it by the EOM."I think so.
I'm currently matching JanEyre9's books to the mini challenge. As of now, we only have 6 slots empty!
Sorry I've been MIA. I had a tough weekend with my kiddo. I will be done with Murder on the Orient tonight.

It has Young Adult as MPG so it shouldn't be a problem.
And even if it hadn't it would still qualify since it has over 25,000 words. (I double checked here: http://www.arbookfind.com/bookdetail....)
