I think we are pretty good on the color cards. I’m hoping my hold for green 7 comes in soon but I have a back up for that. I’ll update everything when I’m on my PC tonight.

Just to let everyone know, incase you hadn't noticed, there is currently a glitch with Good Reads notifications. I am getting notifications long after they happen, 15 hours right now. This means I may not see your questions right away. I try and check the thread a couple times throughout the day, but the notifications do help me remind me. Sorry if I'm a little slower to respond as a result.

Spread Sheet Updated to HereMichael I went ahead and grabbed Too Good to Be True from your uno shelf and added it to the SS.
We have almost finished all of our color cards for the month. I'm working my way through the green 7 right now and should have it finished soon. Komal (Red 8) and Ashley (Green 2) let us know if you can't read for your color cards. We have 25 books to finish the hands.
For the Mini we are making good progress. I updated the list above and struck through those we finished. I'm trying as much as I can to fill the harder tasks first. I think we are going to have a few books from Uno Pixie this month since I haven't been able to reach one of our team members for a while now, and it would be nice to have easier tasks for those books if possible.
Happy reading everyone.
Hey, sorry for not checking in sooner. I can read for #9 and #23, if no one beats me to it. :)
