ARCHIVE Team Challenge: UNO 2020

Team Moonwalker Madeleines
I can try to squeeze in the first Nancy Drew book as well. I own it. Its my birthday Sunday so I'm not sure how much reading time I will be getting in this weekend.
The book I’m reading now is a first in series.
I finished China Rich Girlfriend. SS is updated. Nancy Drew #120 is awful so far but I will get through it.

I LOVED the early books when I was a kid, but I can't see them holding up into the hundreds. :D

Oh awesome! Glad it worked for something. Sorry I missed the lime. I remember loving the books too, but who knows who actually wrote this, there were so many ghost writers for both Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys.
Pen is in Sadie!!!!!!!!!!!! page 29 "I stare at it too long, like I always do, and then I point to the pen in Ruby's pocket."
Rachel wrote: "Pen is in Sadie!!!!!!!!!!!! page 29 "I stare at it too long, like I always do, and then I point to the pen in Ruby's pocket.""Yay!
I did finish a book I’ll be adding a little later been super busy this week but will post later.
I am reading Roses and Rot. The main character is a writer. I am sure there is a pen in the book, but I haven't looked yet.
I don't think I'm airtight. It's Nicole on the spreadsheet.
I can take the Wild Card in hand 7 using The Van Apfel Girls Are Gone duplicating the 3.There is a character Hannah. Do we get extra points for the same character name? Lol
Can March books be started before March?
Sadie and Nancy Drew are completed. Can someone update the spreadsheet for me?

Seems fair. :D
Alissa wrote: "Can March books be started before March?"They can be started anytime after February 1st as long as they are finished after the March 1 deadline here.
Rachel wrote: "Sadie and Nancy Drew are completed. Can someone update the spreadsheet for me?"No problem Rachel - thanks!
ETA - Could you please add Nancy Drew to your UNO shelf when you get a chance! Thanks.
Thank you everyone for reading above and beyond what you claimed. We are so close to finishing. :D If anyone wants to slow down on their reading, to finish books in March or just take a break, that will be fine. We only have one unclaimed card right now (anyone reading a #3 in series?), but if anyone finds starfruit or passionfruit I am happy to give up a spot. I'm reading both books now, but probably won't post them until the end of the month. I worked hard to find them, no point making it easy for another team. ;) Paula should be back from vacation this weekend and after she has a look at our recipe, I'll submit that for some more points. Thanks again for being such an awesome team. We are going to end February very strong!Regular cards, we need 1 card.

I will start the third crazy rich Asians tonight.
oh and my friend on another team told me passion fruit is in the fault in our Stars, if anyone is up for a good cry.
Rachel wrote: "oh and my friend on another team told me passion fruit is in the fault in our Stars, if anyone is up for a good cry."Shoot. I read it last month.
I have updated the dates on the ones that I have finished... i have been displaced this weekend due to termite tenting (last minute decision by landlord) so me and the cats had to vacate and find a place to stay for a few days... i will update the next ones as soon as I finish since I have nothing but time in this hotel room...sighs

So sorry about your house though. I hope you can go home soon. Termites are evil.
Brooklyn wrote: "Finished The Wanderer. SS updated."And that's our last regular card! Congrats everyone!
So Nicole, Denise, Rachel and I are reading books for the mini and then we will be completely done! So amazing.If you have books that you are reading now and want to save until March, that is fine.

Hello I'm back!
I like the recipe, I'm just not familiar with some of the abreviatons like "c." and "t."
And I'm assuming the 375 degrees are °F(?), we work on °Celsius here =P
I'm sorry about my abscence, I didn't expect for my mobile internet to work so badly, I went to the Araucanía area in Chile (lots of forests and volcanos) and I had cero-signal most of the time, now I'm back at work so I'm procastinating and catching up with the challenge. If you have the chance of visiting Chile, that region is really beautiful in the summer, I visited the Conguillio National Park look for it in google =)
I think I'll save my books for march, as we already finished our regular cards, congratulations everyone for reading more than you pledged for!

Welcome back Paula. Hope you enjoyed your vacation. I used North American terms because I bake in North American terms. :D We don't often use weights here. c = cup, approximately 250 mg and t = teaspoon, which I think is about 15 mg. 375 F is about 190 C. And I used American flags because they were the first to walk on the moon.

It's kind of sad.

I'm ok with using your way of measuring things, I just think that it should be clear to everyone, maybe add an F to the 375 degrees?
I thought that the USA flags were a great idea and with the space garbage would turn out super fun.

It's kind of sad.I agree, we didn't think it would be that difficult to get online, but it was very convenient, because disconnect from work completely and we enjoyed our time in nature.
So, my wonderful teammates. Now that we are basically done with our month, I just wanted to touch base with everyone and make sure you are having fun with this challenge. I've submitted our recipe and I'll let you know if/when it is accepted.Because we finished early, it's easy to lose the momentum we've built to this point. You can take a break from reading completely, or you can read some short books that don't count for UNO or you can start reading some books that won't be finished until March. Our March cards should be posted in the next couple of days, but we'll be reading the same numbers and letters - Z, O, T, H, F, I, S, V, E, N, K/P. Hopefully we will have some better draws, more chances at points. :D But what will be, will be.
Could everyone please take a moment to check their UNO shelves and make sure every book you finished is marked there. Thank you. And thank you for being the least stressful team ever. Not a drama queen in the bunch and it's so wonderful I can't even tell you. :D I skim through other teams, it's rough out there guys. :D
I am starting a few books that I’m sure won’t be finished till March. As well as just enjoying some random reads.
I'm still reading Caraval, and I'll save it for march, at least the last chapter, and maybe I'll start another book.I'm going back to my usual rate of reading now, during vacation I practically read nothing
I am ironically finding starfruit throughout Rich People Problems.
Rachel wrote: "I am ironically finding starfruit throughout Rich People Problems."That's fantastic. We can totally use it, if someone else wants to read a #3 in series.
When I get done with my current read (I’m about 40% and it’s a fairly quick read) I can find something for 3rd in series.
I can get The Perfect Hope by Nora Roberts from the library hopefully tomorrow.
I can read for 3rd in a series as well, I can start today when I get home from work (it is a middle grade, so it shouldn't be a problem to finish it quickly)
Paula wrote: "I can read for 3rd in a series as well, I can start today when I get home from work (it is a middle grade, so it shouldn't be a problem to finish it quickly)"You'll probably finish quicker than I can. I also got to thinking and feel my book would work better for uno cards, so I want to wait and use it in March.
Good, then I'll start my book today =)

I'll make a note, thank you. I suspect first in series will be fairly easy to find though.
