It has been completed. I just haven't had the time to add it jet. Doing it now:)

[Kristel]

Jeanette, you can use for Yellow 4.

Franziska, Swing Time definitely works for yellow, but can you tell me how it works for 1? I can't find an "O" character 😅

I am SO SORRY! It was really late last night for me. Thought it was a zero and thought I could use it as standalone. Argh. Let me check if I can find something else:)

[Franziska]

But I could read (Spark by Alice Broadway) for the remaining WD4 (it's a 6 red). I try to find something for my nice yellow book ... :D

No problem. Happens😁

I asked other captains if they think it's red enough. It seems to be quite 50/50.

[Jeanette]

I have books for 1-yellow and 7-green, but they are both re-reads, so I will only put them on the list if we are having trouble finding other matches for the last colors.
( - Kristel can you approve?)

[Franziska]

I guess the green one must be approved by other captains, at least I would have looked twice if it was green. But maybe it's only me.

Yes, I think you are right. It needs to be preapproved :-) It looks a bit more green in real life ;-)

[Kristel]

Yeah, I don't think the green one will work.

Let see at least for another few days, if nobody finds a yellow 1 the I'll add One for the Money to the list. We have time to find books and I don't want any of you to force yourself read books if you rather not😅

works for red. Added it to the tracking post:) I had to do a bit of switching around because we've already duplicated Red 6. So I added "Spark" to Red 6 and put Heathers "Catching Fire" for Red 4:)

[Franziska]

:) cool! thank you Kristel.

[Heather]

I've read this recently, but if anyone wants to read it, it will work for 1 Yellow because there is a character with a last name of Otcher.

[Heather]

Would this work for 7 Green?

I gave it 4 stars. Not as good as "The Shadow of the Wind", which was amazingly wonderful - but pretty darn good!

Did you know that we are currently ranking as number 🥉 out of 25 teams? Wow!
I think the greatest thing is, that I haven’t even thought of this as a competition so far, but it’s cool that we are doing so great.
We have a great team!! And a great Captain 🤩🤓📚

Well, it's only kind of competition in the sense that there is a ranking spreadsheet😅.

Actually uno mostly luck-based challenge because every teams' monthly hands are randomly generated and the total amount of points every month varies between teams. This year our team had gotten quite lucky with the hands and we haven't been struggling with completing the tasks. Plus, we haven't lost a single team member which is always a great bonus😁.

That being said this team has been great! I've co-captained/captained for 3 years and this year is been the easiest.

What a team!
And all achieved as the world is in chaos.
Yay! To the Upside-downers!
