I was like I keep seeing this author name come up ... he's gotta be good!
I didn't end up grabbing it, but I'm certain I will next time!

April, Week 1
Cards completed: 21 of 119
Hands completed: 0 of 17
Hi team!
It's hard to believe that we are already into the 7th day of April!
As you can see from above, we are about 1/6 done with our current cards. With the number of Draw 2s we have left, that comes out as 82 books — so we still should be fine for the month, even if we appear behind right now.
We don't have any fully completed hands, but the main reason behind that is because we have a total of five 5 cards within the first two hands, and those are always tough to fill. I'm sure as we go through the month those will be filled easily — we just don't have as much to work with yet!
As a reminder, please check in if you haven't posted any comments here in April yet so I know you're still around!
Here are the remaining cards as of right now:
0: 4
1: 6
2: 4
3: 1
4: 6
5: 9
6: 9
7: 9
8: 5
9: 5
Skip: 6
Reverse: 9
Wild: 3
Wild Draw 4: 1
Draw 2: 8
Color cards
4 Yellow - Janine
5 Yellow - Gwen
6 Yellow (x2) - Gwen for 1, Janine for 1
1 Blue - Janine
5 Blue - Kaley
9 Blue - megan
3 Red - Kimber
5 Red (x2) - Gwen for 1, Janine for 1
0 Green - Janine
3 Green - Gwen
6 Green - megan
Wild Draw 4 - Gwen (duplicating 4 Blue)
As always, let me know if you have any questions.
Happy reading, everyone!

Understandable. Overall I liked it but there were definitely some moments I had to go back or else I’d lose track of who we were talking about!

Checking in...I'm having a slow start to the month but hoping to get back into the swing of things soon. I will start one of my colored cover books after I finish my current book (Becoming by Michelle Obama - for my local book club).
I hope everyone is having a great April so far!
I'm having a slow start as well. I've had a few non-fictions come free at the library and the two I started with didn't meet any UNO requirements. I should have my 9 BLUE finished by the end of the day though.

Doesn't look like rules are posted yet, but I'm sure they are coming. It starts May 1, so right after this one ends.
Thanks Kaley, i did a quick look , it seems like its more of a "read a.load and chat about our books " which im thinking most may not read the same as me so may not work...but ill still keep an eye out
