Rachel (stillchasethewind) | 452 comments Are we allowed to replicate the same colored card for the wild draw four? I started The Better Sister by Alafair Burke on audio on my drive into work this morning and one of the characters is named Ethan. So it could be another 8 blue.

Paula Reyes Wagner (paurw) | 784 comments Good morning and happy first day of UNO!!

Rayne (raynebair) | 201 comments Morning everyone. I’ve started my book first thing. It shouldn’t take too long as I’m sick in bed so I’ve got plenty of time for reading. Ha! Dang cold!

Hi Rachel. We can only replicate each colour card once, so no to the two 8 Blue. But Truly Devious can be the 1 Blue Duplicate and The Better Sister can then be used for 8 Blue if you are going to read both?

I'm almost done Earth Song or I'd give it up to you.

Sorry you're sick Brooklyn but it is nice to allow some guilt-free reading. :D

Allison Ann | 1245 comments Alrighty team, time to go over reporting methods. If you are comfortable using the tracking spreadsheet, then please post everything your book works for there and just post a completion post here so we know.

eg.

Finished Earth Song (Medieval Song, #3) by Catherine Coulter by Catherine Coulter - 2/01/20 - posted to SS

If however, you don't like or can't use spreadsheets (and that is absolutely fine, I enjoy entering things, I have the soul of a data processor), then you can post your completion posts here and Paula or I will enter you into the SS.

eg.

Completion Post

Earth Song (Medieval Song, #3) by Catherine Coulter by Catherine Coulter - 2/01/20
Works for 8 Blue

3 - series #3
4 - character Fortenberry
5 - character Ivo
8 - title
Skip - character Philippa

If you read a coloured cover, please post other cards it will work for so we can use it for a Draw 2 if possible. Make sense? Thanks all! Happy reading

Whatever works? That's fine with me. I just picked the first available audiobook the library had that also had an ok rating. So it is nice it will count for something.

I've read this before, so I put my name down in the spreadsheet for the reverse card on this book.


message 114: by Rayne (new)

Rayne (raynebair) | 201 comments First book finished. I updated the spreadsheet and added my other current read as well. It's an audiobook that has no print edition, but Audible clearly states that it's 5 hours. If it doesn't work, let me know.

That's perfect Brooklyn and a good note for everyone if you see a book posted that you have read, let us know for Reverse. And thanks for posting your own books too.

If there is an important character whose name starts with V, then yes. It definitely works for a 3 card though.

The first one I read was a children's book haha, just to get me started.
Now I'm currently reading my 7 red book, but I'm only on page 30 (that's what I managed to read before getting to work this morning)
I hope you're all having a good monday

Did you have a good party Brittany? I was so happy to have the Chiefs win. The last time they won (or even participated in) the Super Bowl was the day I was born. So I have an emotional attachment even though I'm a hockey fan. :D


message 125: by Allison Ann (new)

Allison Ann | 1245 comments We're off to a great start everyone. Thanks for participating. So far it hasn't been a problem, but please remember that you need to check in once a week. Posting a book is fine, or just say hello. Thanks so much.

Yeah, the party was pretty fun. We got to watch some football, play some games and have some good food. Lol, i was rooting for the chiefs but I don’t really follow NFL. I’m more into college ball. I’m an Alabama fan.

Rayne (raynebair) | 201 comments Finished Slaying Monsters for the Feeble. Updated the ss.

Question on filling out the spreadsheet...for characters, do you want us to just enter the relevant name part or the full name? My characters work because their last name starts with the correct letter...so do I just put their last name or their full name in the box?

It looks like it's just the relevant name part so that's what I entered, but I wanted to confirm that's what we are doing.

Allison Ann | 1245 comments Wow you guys are reading machines. :D Rachel - thank you. Alissa - we always seem to read more at the exciting beginning don't we? Brooklyn - just the relevant part of the name is fine. Thank you.

Rayne (raynebair) | 201 comments I couldn’t get to sleep last night (maybe too much rest from being sick for four days) so I was up til 1am reading. Made huge progress in my current book and it’s interesting so I should be done in no time.

Thanks Denise. I checked and Brooklyn had read book 2 also, so we got another Reverse under our belt. Thank you.

Also, just for later reference, you can't use the series title, just the series number, so it still works for Card 2, but for a different reason.
