[Heather]

And so happy to hear that you're heading home tomorrow Mel!

[Melindam]

Thanks Heather for being an awesome Co-Captain! ♡ :)

[Melindam]

Will check what colour cards I will be able to cover on my end.

[Heather]

You're welcome!!

I'm checking with the other captains to see if one of the books I read earlier in the month can count for green. Fingers crossed!

[Melindam]

I can cover a 3 Yellow or the corresponding WD4 for sure.

[Melindam]

Greens/blues will not be be a problem either and will search for some more yellows

[Heather]

OK, Green 5 is covered!

So we need:
Blue 5
Green 7 -- Alma
Yellow 1
Yellow 3 -- Melinda

[Heather]

I also have a Yellow 3 that I can put on my list for this month to cover a WD4.

[Melindam]

OK, my Yellow 3 also works for 1, so we can use it for that as well. :)

[Alma]

I can do green 7 since I'm not reading one of my other chosen books.

[Heather]

@Lorna, it's the same document, just the March worksheet. Here's the link...
team spreadsheet

I put in the last book you noted you completed, so you don't need to add that one (your yellow cover).

Thanks Alma! I'm putting you down for Green 7!

[Laura..devouring books like crumpets]

I can read a yellow 5? Do we need it?

[Melindam]

Yes, for a WD4, Laura

[Heather]

I also have a Blue 5 I can read. I'll do that one next, and then my Yellow after. Mel, since yours can work for Yellow too, mine can always be a WD4 instead.

[Alma]

The Thursday murder club finished. 5* it is hilarious but without meaning to. Every character is priceless. I highly recommend it.
I have put it on my UNO shelve

[Barbara]

0 Red - most of Chinese names start with C, L or X. I will keep an eye on someone with the letter F, sure!

Correct ed on shlf
9/3
*Wasn't as great as the first book gut i am interested in Iannis character enough to carry it on.

[Melindam]

Dear Teamies! Finally made it home. :)

I also finished 2 more books, but will only be able to add them tomorrow. But finally will be able to do that on the sheet.

Please bear with me for still being slow and occasionally absent in the coming days.

Will try to get back to the groove asap.

9 March

[SandyL]

I'm planning on reading these books:


works for 4 Red


works for 5 Blue

[SandyL]

Melindam and Lorna - so glad you guys are getting better! I hope you get to go home today, Mel!

[Heather]

Welcome home Mel! Happy to continue to help out as needed as you get back into the groove!

And great work on the reading everyone!

Mini-challenge is coming soon...I'll circle back with some more info on that before long.

[Heather]

Just to throw it out there...we have 6 Reverses that aren't covered as well. So keep an eye out for whatever you might have that can cover one of those too.

[Melindam]

Thanks Heather! Now that I will have laptop access, I will check for reverses as well.

Thanks for all your kind words. It feels almost weird to be back home after the shaky experience of the last 10 days, as I am still far from fully recovered, but hope it will help eventually to find some old/new kind of "normal".

UNO also helped to tether me to some kind of reality, so I am more than thankful to be part of it.

Thanks! And I saw the ruling, so Green 5 it is!

[Melindam]

Yes. :)

[Laura..devouring books like crumpets]

Glad your home Mel... X

[Melindam]

Thank you, Laura.

My head/eyes are acting a bit weird, so there's still not much I can do for sheet arrangements, but I am going on steadily with my audiobooks mostly, which I am appreciating even more than before. :)

[Laura..devouring books like crumpets]

Just focus on getting better, we all here reading trying to cover colors (lol) you have all month to whip us into shape, and until then heather has us under control (for the most part) ha x

[Melindam]

You are an awesome team to be part of! ♡

MINI CHALLENGE TIME IS HERE!

March Mini Challenge

March Mini COUNTDOWN

The tasks come in threes and each task-trio also provides clues to a famous musician/band & 1 of their songs (and in some cases the official videoclips).
Complete the tasks and try to guess the name of the musician/band + song for extra points.

◈ Every book read, i.e. every task completed, is worth 10 points.
◈ If you complete all tasks, your team will receive 30 bonus points.
◈ You get 3 bonus points/musician-band, if your guess is correct. (max 45 points)
◈ You get 2 bonus points/song if your guess is correct. (max 30 points)

In case you are not certain about your guesses, you have 1 chance to correct them. Just message UNO Pixie with your band/song list and we'll let you know which of your guesses are incorrect.
If you want to use this option, please send your 1st guess-list 4 days before the challenge ends at the latest (27 March). Once you have the reply, you need to adjust your list by the end of the challenge.

For the books, the usual UNO rules applies.

◈ Books can be started at any point since the start of the UNO challenge (Feb 1)
◈ Books need to be finished after the start of this mini challenge on March 14, 9am UTC and before April 1 at 9am UTC (when the April UNO month begins).
◈ Books used for this mini challenge do not need to be separate books for what you are claiming for your UNO hands
◈ The usual book length rules apply

[Melindam]

Teamies!

Read the March Mini info please, and give us a shout for anything that may be unclear!

[Melindam]

Hooray! Just make sure you finish after the countdown is over. :)

I think, the practical thing would be once again to list the mini options for our books in 1 column and then Heather and I can move them around if necessary.

I will be finishing a book with MPG Christian/Religion, so that's another one being taken care of for sure. :)

[Melindam]

Actually, you can "thank" me for this mini challenge... or just curse me for it ... :)

I came up with the idea, meaning that I can read all the books for all necessary tasks (and I will!), but I cannot participate in the music guessing game part, as obviously I know the solutions.

Heather will coordinate that part for sure (just like everything else for the time being).

I hope it'll provide some extra fun and won't prove a menace for you all. ♡

[Barbara]

I was planning to finish 2 books by Saturday, but I think I hold them for the Mini Challenge.

Good news, I got my second Pfizer jab yesterday. I had some reactions buy knowing that I'll be immune makes me relax with this whole situation. How's the vaccination on your countries?

Mel, you are back!
Lorna, how are you feeling?

In two days I read half of The Color Purple. Big Sister, Little Sister and Red Sister bored me a little, I think it was too much for me, although the book is rich in information. I will try to put Purple apart just to give the Red one a try again :P

[Melindam]

Good news on the vaccine, Barbara.

Unfortunately in Hungary they are making an awful mess of it. :(

It's my parents I am worried about mostly, now I had 1st hand experience what havoc this virus can cause. :( I would feel so much better if they could get the first jab at least.

[Laura..devouring books like crumpets]

Alot of the books have inner workings (lol) wont know untill we finish them so if any of my books fit mini tasks i will add what they fit in side bar (sorry if things are allready claimed) but like Mel said her and Heather can move things about if needed.... im currently playing a handful of games in other groups, Alot of my Team mates actually recommended uno to me (so glad they did) But due to this i tend to pick my books as needed and try to fit them in as many challenges as poss

[Laura..devouring books like crumpets]

Ones i know for sure i wont be doing

6. Read a book with a white suit or white hat on the cover
i have no book with this description

14. Read a book set in Scandinavia i have no books in Scandinavia

[Laura..devouring books like crumpets]

My mum and Dad have had the Astra Zeneca jab.... My sis whos a teacher had the Pilfezer

Me and Hubby not rushing to get it done.... I think we may have all had covid last year when it first started... But if im to be working in tourism this year... i may do to be safe

We had gone to athens for christmas Last year, i got what i thought was an awfull cough and i just felt dizzy all the time, My kids got it after having Tests we found out it wasnt flu After that my kids school closed just after christmas as alot of kids came down with Pnemonia.... All this Around Dec Jan... covid was officially here mid Feb...
Im not Against the Jab... But just want to wait a bit

[Melindam]

For task 6 - a man wearing a white shirt/coat will also be accepted. But it's good to know what are those books you cannot cover for sure. Will figure it out among us until end of March. :)

[Heather]

So excited for the March Mini!

I added a sheet to our tracking spreadsheet that has a list of the tasks, as well as a place for us to start putting our guesses for the Song and Band. As Mel said, I think the best option for tracking the tasks and your books is to put the numbers of the tasks that your book can satisfy and then we'll figure it out from there.

For the Songs and Bands, a hint was given in the captain's group that if you look at a list of popular songs from the 80s we should be able to figure it out. Take a look, and feel free to put guesses in the March Mini sheet.

[Heather]

And on the vaccines...I can't wait to get mine. In California we are still in the early phases of distribution, so elderly, healthcare workers, and now teachers and a couple of other occupations qualify. They say they will open to the next age group and people with underlying conditions soon.

[Melindam]

Thank you, again, Heather for managing it all for us. :)

[Melindam]

I will be checking my books for the mini and also try to find some reserves while I am about it.

I can totally cover the 500+ book, btw, as well as the MPG Religion/Christian and even the permed hair task is no problem. (though I don't have a Meg Ryan reference :)

The Scandinavian (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Faroe Islands, Greenland are all accepted) setting will be problematic for me, though.

[Melindam]

I can also cover the "literary character ends up in real life or vice versa" task.
