Can you add these to your UNO shelf when you have a chance please Anubha. Thanks!
Yep I can read the 3 Blue this month, the book goes with the Space task in the mini as well. I’ll probably have it done by the end of the month!
These are the mini tasks we still need if anyone can cover them?8. Read a book with a black leather jacket on the cover
19. Read a book set in Detroit (Motown)
23. Read a book where a character has permed hair/gets their hair permed.
30. Read a book with the word "Dance" in the title/ top shelf "Dance"
34. Read a book set in Australia
Countdown to end of the month is up. Cards are listed too. I'll get the list up soon. We have an extra hand, but also an extra Draw 2, so only 105 books needed for April.
And here are our coloured cards if anyone wants to look ahead. Lots of red and yellow again. :D2 Red - Jessamine

The Inheritance Games is not green enough and I'm going to check on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - it's been checked before and I don't remember the results, but I think it will work. Thanks Anubha

First and last books (that you questioned) are not enough of their colour to work, but the others are all great. I will mark you down for them.

I am currently reading a book set in Australia if you want to concentrate on your other books Allison as I have to read it either way. Still working on my mythology book. It will be done by the end of the month

If you have to finish your Australia book before month end, then you are welcome to the task. :D

Sorry, I shelved it now
Nice work everyone. We are done all the regular hands (except two colours that are being read for the mini too). So, if you are reading a book that won't work for the mini, if you want to hold off on finishing until after the end of the month, that would be fine. Or take a little break. Or read some manga or short books. :D All good. Great job all. :D
Real life is so inconvenient. As long as you can finish it in 4 days and 16 hours, we're all good. :D Could you please tell me the title so I can have the spreadsheets ready. Thanks.

I picked the The Inheritance Games and
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo from Uno shelf for green covers and yellow covers respectively, pls recheck
Allison Ann wrote: "JWe will be using Brush Creek Cowboy, but I couldn't find a place for Baking For Keeps, unless you can think of a spot for it in the mini?..."No, I don't think any of the rest of my books fit the mini unfortunately.

No worries. You read 5 books more than your sign up, so a great month. :D If you want to hold off finishing anything until the countdown, we can use it for April. Otherwise, we're good for the month unless anyone needs to give up a claimed mini?

Yes you did and I told you that The Inheritance Games was voted not green enough and that I was checking on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I haven't had a chance yet, but I will before the end of the month, promise.

Thank you Anubha. I've added the first two. I'm afraid that Leo Gray and the Lunar Eclipse can't be confirmed for use. It's a children's book so it has to be over 25,000 words or over 3 hours on audiobook and I can't find a record of it on any of the approved sites.
Are you still able to read Permed to Death before month end?
Everyone still okay with their picks?3. Read a book where a character is a god / with MPG or top shelf "Mythology" - Nikk
8. Read a book with a black leather jacket on the cover - Jessamine
11. Read a book with a leopard on the cover or the word "leopard" in the title - Allison (also words for 3 Yellow)

It exceeds the word limit, and is also 300+ pages long acc to Goodreads too. I specially read it for the challenge otherwise I wouldn't have picked it.
Idk about your research, but here's what I found https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/leo-... I already knew it was way over 25,000 words and 3 hrs but here's the proof if you didn't believe my words.
If you have time to read permed to death then please feel free to do so I can focus on other books on tbr

Then pls ask the Uno Pixie to remove it from guide for green covers. Also it has been tagged twice under uno green shelf already. If even the uno recs are incorrect, then that is very misleading. Also it has only 2 colours, green (whole cover) and gold (only for title) on cover. Its still not green enough xD

We do need one coloured cover yet - 1 Yellow. I did a little switching on the yellows, because 1 Yellow seems to be the easiest to find. I have about 3 first in series books that will work if no one else wants it.
All our Wild Draw 4s are done.
All of our hard cards are covered and now we are just filling in the easy letters. :D
As for the mini, most are covered. A few seem a bit more difficult if anyone wants to go searching.
8. Read a book with a black leather jacket on the cover
11. Read a book with a leopard on the cover or the word "leopard" in the title (it can be in any languages)
15. Read a book featuring a music band in the plot19. Read a book set in Detroit (Motown)
30. Read a book with the word "Dance" in the title/ top shelf "Dance"
41. Read a book where the MCs are twins or the MC has a twin brother/sisterI've sent our guesses in to UNO Pixie for the songs, I'll let everyone know when I hear back. You all made me feel really really old with your PMs BTW. :D Just kidding. I am old and I'm okay with it.
