ARCHIVE Team Challenge: UNO 2015

Team Speed Racer
To All the Boys I've loved Before starts with a T so it works for 2, Fairest (by Marissa Meyer, from the Lunar Chronicles) starts with an F so it works for 4. Thank you for your help! I just wanted to make sure I could finish them the first week of February so I knew what to sign up for.
No problem! Basically, if we read all of hand one, some of hand two, but all of hand four: we would only get counted for hand one and the things that we did for hand two. So we should try to keep it in order as much as possible. I will put those in the spreadsheet! You can start them any time you like as long as you finish them on or after Feb 1st.
I'm so excited!
Hi All! Sorry for joining the board late - weekend flu. I'll check out the spreadsheet. Let me know too if there are any cards/books I should definitely do. Thanks, Teddie
Ok, here is Teddie's uno challenge shelf. I could do the number 1 for hand 2 with The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat - one of the main characters is Odette. Or a 0(zero) with Ernest Cline's Ready Player One (as a standalone.) Just let me know what you need me to read and I can come up with a book!
Just finished Everlost! Also, I've just added it to my bookshelf, but I'm not sure how to add the shelf to the comments. Help?
I can do 5 in hand two. The Revenge of Seven because it is the fifth book in the I Am Number Four series. Plus, I've already read it as of 10/1/15.
Kirsten books only count if they are finished on or after Feb 1st so we can't use that book
Also, just copy and past the link into here. or let me know the name of your shelf and I can find it
Hi Teddie! I will let you know later tonight what we need done but those sounds like good choices!

Now all we need for the first set is 8 and Wild Draw 4. If anyone that has a book that matches one of these, let me know:
8 (Eight)
Read a book that either:
- has an 8 or Eight in the title
- has a title starting with E
- has an author first name or surname starts with E
- has a character with a first name, surname or nickname starting with E
- is set in a place name starting with E ; or
- is book 8 in a series
I can read Ernest Cline's Ready Player One for the 8.
Awesome! I will put it in the spreadsheet as soon as I get home from work.
As I said, I havent planned my books as yet, so Beth, please put me down for anything that needs completion and others havent got to it.
hand 2I 'll take card 6
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. ( author's first name starts with S)
also works for card 1 ( first book in series)

I can't wait to read Fairest .. but my library doesn't have it yet!
Apoorv wrote: "As I said, I havent planned my books as yet, so Beth, please put me down for anything that needs completion and others havent got to it."I'll give you the easiest one! You can take Wild Draw 4 for hand 1. Just read whatever book you want and it'll count! Let me know when you decide the book so I can update it
I asked in the mods group and that they said its okay. what we are using it for is draw 2 (card 5 and wild card) and then someone else is using it for reverse. I can have her look at it but from what they told me in the mods folder, its okay

haha don't worry Laura! I'm an extreme planner. I asked tons of questions before I put anything down so we are good
I have a few more books to add, but I want to get close to finishing these ones first and then decide what I 'm going to read next!
Make sure to keep me updated so I can keep the spreadsheet updated :D
Hi everyone, I'm your newest team mate for the Speed Racer. My name is June and I live in Barbados. I am 37 years old and work in healthcare. My fav genres are YA,HF, classics and christian fiction.
I'll add a shelf- UNO-SPEEDRACER to my bookshelf and make it sticky. Becky, can you let me know where I can fit in? I see for hand one there is wild draw four- I can read either Prince Caspian or The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society?
Barbados ! Naice ! :) One of those places where I can just dream of going, as of now !Welcome, June !
Welcome to this crazy racer team ! :)
Welcome, June! You can read either of those. Wild Draw 4 is just any book you want to read and it'll count! I can slot you into there and then Apoorv can maybe look for a book for hand two? I will add your shelf to the list. Thanks for introducing yourself!
Thanks for the welcome guys. Great to be on board. Hope we have fun and get to know each other. I have decided for now:
Hand 1- Wild draw 4- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Hand 2- 0- Oliver Twist
Hand 3- Reverse- Scarlet from Alexa/Laura read pile

ohhh, I loved Scarlet.. just waiting to read Fairest now! Good choice for the reverse!!
Thanks June! Can you tell me the reasons for your choosing? That would be a great help!
I can take the reverse in hand 2 if no one else wants it! But I want to give everyone a chance to read the books that they want
Wahoo, challenge starts tomorrow and we can start counting points! I will finish one book tomorrow, possibly two:)
Thanks, Laura! I updated the spreadsheet
What time is it where everyone lives?How close are you to midnight your time!?
I am currently in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (EST)Its 5:54 PM as I post it (-6:06 hours to midnight)
Starting 09Feb2015, I will be in India till the end of the month where it is 4:23 AM as I post it (+4:24 hours after midnight)
Thanks, Apoorv and Laura for letting me know!we are the same time zone, Laura. So that'll be easy to remember for me. Are you guys getting excited?
Awesome, Laura! Better get your reading shoes on :D. I will be finishing The Secret Place tomorrow and then starting Finger Lickin' Fifteen right after that
I will have Sapphire Blue and Throne of Glass finished tomorrow, if I don't finish Secret Place tomorrow then likely Monday:)
Nice! How is Throne of Glass? I've heard a lot of good things about it so I want to read it but just haven't found the time
I really enjoyed it.. I'm looking forward to buying the next one! (Hopefully next weekend)
I've put myself on a book buying ban after today. I bought 28 books today. 30 total if you want to count the books I ordered online
Beth (Ducky) wrote: "I've put myself on a book buying ban after today. I bought 28 books today. 30 total if you want to count the books I ordered online"wow, Beth!! Anything good coming in? I use my library and only buy when I can't get a particular book
I got tons of good ones! 28 of them were from the used book sale at the library. 
lucky you! Happy reading, I see some good titles!
Sorry the quality isn't the greatest. That room doesn't have the best lighting. But you get the point! The stack went up to my hip.The only reason I stopped looking was because I couldn't hold the book anymore. I can admit I have somewhat of a problem. Not a big enough one to stop, just a small one hahah

I want to read [book:To All the..."
We can start hand two before hand one is finished but hand one is currently all filled up so I'm just trying to fill in hand two so we know who is reading what.
We COULD theoretically skip around and read whichever hand we wanted, but it's easier if we try to go in order and then we'd get more points because we'd be filling up more hands.
I will put you down for 2 and 4. Can you give me the reasons for them?
