ARCHIVE Team Challenge: UNO 2018

Team Carina
I'm going to move Radium Girls out of the R slot in the mini challenge to fill one of the many C spots still open. I figure R might be easier to fill with another book.
I've updated my books as far as Sunday. Marte, I've moved your book "Just Here For the Pain" to an A (Asher character) That way I could get "The Other One" by Judith Kagan into the mini as well.
That's fine! Whatever fits best!
When I finish a book and "de-red" the line in the sheet, which color should I put instead? Blue?I'm a little confused about the colors. There are blue and white lines, and also one red.
As far as I can see, we're only missing three Cs in the March mini challenge. And some finished dates to make all the book count. :) This is looking good!Are Cs difficult to find?
I can move my Dim Sum Asylum book from Y to C to get it to match, but then someone needs to have a Y to put in.
I can also move Ink and Shadows from A to a C, if anyone has another A.

For the main challenge colors ar only changed by Kaylee. Those are for her to remember which books she has transferred to the official spreadsheet.
Do not bother changing any colors there as she uses them to stay on top of her captaining duty.
In the mini the colors change automatically on two occasions:
1. When you put your name down for a letter - yellowish
2. When you put your finished date - green
You should never put CR there because then it turns green even if it’s not finished.
And yes, I turn the books Ive transferred blue. The Red books are just CRs on the sheet because I kept mixing them up. dont worry about that :)
Could I get away with reading Nancy Drew books? They are short and authored by "Carolyn Keene so it could help with our C problem?
I think as long as they're over 25,000 words it's ok. Those would be fun, easy reads!
They are more than 100 pages and more than 25,000 words. I have 1-6 at home. Is there a number we need that I should read first Kaylee?
I am back from Oz! i have read the first four Narnia books in the last week or so. Do they count? The author is CS Lewis but i wasn't sure if they were long enough. i am also currently reading the Cuckoos Calling by Robert Galbraith another C?

Is anyone planning on a book for yellow 4? If not I can do
We can always use more yellows for the wild draw 4s so if you can get through it yes please!!

It all went brilliantly, I’m catching up now! If someone can let me know about narnia I’ll add them to the sheet. Two of the covers are blue and will count as more than 50%

I think the narnia books would be fine, Shamber was reading some of them also. As long as they're over 25,000 on http://www.arbookfind.com/
I'm pretty sure the Narnia books are acceptable based on word count / page length. Also, I just finished
Woooh! Congrats on OZ Fiona! So much reading this week! Its great! :)

Okay :)
I was asking because in an earlier post it said we should de-red books when we finished reading:
Kaylee wrote: "Also, don't mind all the red highlighting on the Spreadsheet. I highlighted them like that to designate all the CRs, haha. Just de-red it when you finish the books. Happy Reading! :)))0"
So, mixed info, hence me confused.
I hadn't changed any color before since I didn't want to mess with the system!
Yeah thats my mistake, just ignore that, I will change it for you :).
I'm leaving for Easter break today. I'm currently reading Imperfect Match, but I'm not sure I'll be able to access the sheet or GR due to crappy reception where I'm going, but I'll finish it so it'll count for March. I've put in the cards I know already in the sheet, tho.Happy Easter, and happy reading. :)
Have a good Easter Marte!!That goes for everybody else in the team who celebrates it as well, of course.
Hooray. We really caught up. Congratulations to us!
Hey Guys! So the official Spreadsheet is OFFICIALLY done, except for one Yellow 5 that JanEyre is reading at the moment. Jan, are you going to be able to get through that before the end of the month? With your rate of reading I don't doubt it :) And with that, I hope everybody has a very nice and relaxing weekend with family. Only one more month left of the challenge! I personally cannot believe how much I've read, especially this month!
Oh! And Rachel, are you going to be able to make it through I am Number 4, for the mini challenge?
If Rachel can't finish we could use my "One Knight Only" instead. I've just finished Claimed (finished 3/28) that we could use for the C instead in that case.
I'll be done with the book for yellow 5 by tomorrow, if not tonight!
Wow, so after that we're all done?!
Yep! That and Rachel finishing I am Number 4.
Yes I will probably be done tomorrow. Happy reading everyone!
Maundy Thursday is the day the witches travel to "Blåkulla" to meet up with the devil and his demons. At least according to the old beliefs in Sweden. Today you mostly see kids dressed up as "Påskkärringar" - Easter Witches. Some go around the neighborhood trading Easter Greetings for eggs and candy.
This is my youngest daughter ready for her egg hunt.
Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate.
And a long relaxing weekend to those who don't!
She looks awesome Myzan! I hope she has a great egg hunt :)
Should I add any other books I complete on the spreadsheet or is there no point since we're finished?I can't wait to see our April cards and start planning!
You can add your currently readings if you want to, we can transfer them to April if you finish them after Sunday. Im excited too! We have our cards, I’ll let you guys know what we have and then start planning myself! Haha.
Oooh awesome, I'm a big planner when it comes to reading so I'm excited to see them :)
Thats adorable Myzan! I hope you guys have an awesome time! I love that we all are from different places! Its awesome to hear about the special things you guys are up to :). I have the rest of the week off, so I'm planning on reading and spending time with my sisters mostly.
I've already had a look.I've added my worksheet to the team spreadsheet. It's not pretty, but you can see all the cards needed. The tab is called Copy of UNO April Cards.
We need an awful lot of colored ones...
We have SO MANY colored cards! Oh gosh! 5 reds alone!(Thanks for that help Myzan :)) )
So if anybody has any bright colored books on their TBRs, It would be great to pick those up this month! Haha. Reds and Greens especially.
Aww Myzan she is adorable!!! Hope you also have a lovely Easter. On another note I have a lot of red books. I will see if any fit those cards!
So I've got my eye on
but have a problem. It's a novella and isn't coming up when I search on http://www.arbookfind.com. I did however check http://wordcounters.com and that shows over 25,000 words. Think it's ok to use?
The Edition that you have posted is over 100 pages so it will be fine :)
Whew, great :) So there's one red at least!I just finished my yellow 5 book for this month and updated the spreadsheet!
