Yeah I think that looks a lot like the interior of a kiwi fruit!

So let's use it for that task :-)

[Sophie]

Yay! 4 left to claim if anyone is interested

[Kate]

I'm currently reading is you think that could count as cornflour? :)

[Eldarwen]

Yeah, I think that could count for a white cover for cornflour.

Are you enjoying the read?

[Kate]

I love it, can't put it down, plan to finish it tonight! :)

[Eldarwen]

Awesome! :-)

Are you going to read the second one as well?

[Kate]

My friend's reading the second one and she says its not that good, so I'm not sure yet - I'll see what she says when she finishes it haha

[Sophie]

I'd be happy with that for cornflour.

Glad you're enjoying it! I really enjoyed it and the 2nd one.

Thanks Kate.

Raven - thanks for reading that, unfortunately at 81p it's too short to be used for the game.

I'm really impressed that we're so close to finishing the mini-challenge! Well done and thank you everyone!

Now time for me to finish my last 2 to contribute...

[Sharon]

Would strawberry kiwi count?

Sharon wrote: "Would strawberry kiwi count?"

I suspect no, but I'll let E have the final say.

We can always move back to kiwi. Then if you've got something that works for touch we are golden!

If a strawberry kiwi is still something like a kiwi fruit, then yeah, why not?

We can be creative after all, so...

Would that be a word in the text?

Thanks!

Please welcome new team members Dima and Melissa!

[Sharon]

Welcome!

[Ravenclaw Library Books]

Welcome!

[Sophie]

Hi Dima and Melissa! We're very happy to see you here. From a quick look at your shelves I can see you've both done UNO before so hopefully there won't be any huge surprises. We're working without a planning sheet so completions in the thread please! E and I are about and updating the sheet multiple times a day if it needs it so it's up to date.
Could you please let us know your Uno shelves when you set them up?

Later today I'll make an update based on what we're looking for in March - if you're desperate to know, you should be able to access the spreadsheet from the link in the first few posts of the thread.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

[Sophie]

I've just started for another challenge which works for 3 red.

Raven - if you're happy to read a couple of the reverse books that would be great. Do you have any idea which letters the coloured covers would work for?

[Ravenclaw Library Books]

Not yet but will look quickly through to see if they don't fit can always keep them for April.
I might keep and for April.

Nice list!

I'm iffy on the Jodi Picoult cover being green (it's an odd colour that one) but everything else looks good!

MARCH COUNTDOWN

As a reminder to everyone: any books finished now will not be counted towards our March hands. Books cannot be banked.

For books to count for our March hands, they need to be finished AFTER this countdown has gone to 0.

Not even a day now until the next step of this challenge :-)

Will be done soon though, no worries ;-)

Cool!

Though we're actually done with February.

If you haven't finished the book yet, just keep it until tomorrow to finish off then, then we can use it for our March hands. :-)

This will be my first read for March and can be used for Cards: Red, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or Skip.
