Kimberly~☆♡Love of Books♡☆ (kimberbooklover) | 347 comments Is April the last month for the Uno challenge ?


message 907: by Diane (last edited Mar 25, 2021 11:00AM) (new)

Diane | 957 comments I could possibly read:

Lighting the Way Home (Delectable, #2) by E.M. Lynley for Blue 2, 6, 8 or 9

Or

Mad Lizard Mambo (Kai Gracen, #2) by Rhys Ford for Yellow 2, 4 or 6

Would those count??

I don't think either of these quite hit the 50% mark, sorry!

message 912: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1571 comments OK Kimber, have you down for 3 Red 3 Blue, 4 Blue, and 8 Green. (The green book would alternately work for 0 Green, so if someone else has a book for 8 Green we can move this one to 0 instead)

3 Green: Hollow Kingdom (Hollow Kingdom, #1) by Kira Jane Buxton

No need! We just have megan’s last color book for our regular hands left.

I love that we finish it so early but it always makes me sad when things can’t get used! I have two books from the library that’ll expire before April, and they’re both highly requested so it’d be a few mo the before I could get them again... so I want to read them but I hate that they can’t be used 🤣


message 921: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1571 comments I’ll check those color books in the morning and let you all know!

I finished my last mini challenge book (which also has the Meg Ryan hair reference), but I’m not going to post it or put it on my shelves until closer to the end in case we have some spies 🤣 just wanted to let you all know that one is done!


Kimberly~☆♡Love of Books♡☆ (kimberbooklover) | 347 comments Will u let us know the answers to the mini challenge songs once its done? Or is it listed somewhere?
I know I didn't know any but I wouldn't mind seeing what u all came up with. :)

I'm not sure! This is the only one in this group that I participate in. But they might have others.

Usually during the rest of the year I do a few challenges through the group Nothing But Reading Challenges. It's a lot of the same people that are in charge of that group who run UNO here.

Seizing it and Island House look a little too orange to me.

Shamrock Spiced Omega -- it looks like both the men's shirts are green, right? Just different shades? If yes, that should work.

All the others I haven't mentioned above should work as well. Just let me know which ones you want to read!

(I'm not sure Five-Sided Heart would count for five, because there's a weird rule about "embedded" words -- like Sevenfold doesn't count as Seven -- and I think that includes hyphenated words, but it should work for other numbers!)

I don't think so. If he wasn't so prominent in the foreground it would probably work! But he leaves us with less than 50% blue.

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1571 comments Diane, you said Headlines (Prime Time, #3) by Ella Frank works for 9 as well, right? I was going to move that to 9 since Gwen has one that works for 4 Blue, but I didn't see anything on the book page so wanted to confirm with you! I'm guessing since you've been reading the series you'd know of a N character not listed there :)

If it doesn't I can just make Gwen's book our WD4, so it's no big deal either way!

Sorry, that was a typo. It should be 4 or 5. There is no N's in the series.

OK, I'll keep it as 4 Blue and put Gwen's book as a WD4 duplicating 4 Blue!
