How long do we need to wait for the next UNO challenge??"Awww thank you 😊 unfortunately it is only once a year ... if they keep it the same months we last year, be on the lookout for sign ups in January most likely. (Though I think sometimes they open it up at the very end of December too)
Just to let you know, I am reading the book with leg warmers in it first, then I will read the Pretty Perfect if you still need me to.
Sounds good Diane! I’ll check and see if my 5 Yellow book or the other book I’m reading has any of the things we need still.
Diane wrote: "Can I just say right now how much I am going to miss this challenge, and that you guys have been fantastic Captains for this one! How long do we need to wait for the next UNO challenge??"I feel the same! Ill miss this team 😢 hopefully we can get on the same team next uno challenge!
Im almost done reading the neon pink cover. I will post it tomorrow fyi

For color covers --
I am working on mine and will definitely be done this week.
I know megan said she just got hers in from the library.
Gwen, how is yours coming? Still going to finish this week? If not, we should have a few extra color cover books that didn't get used for a color card that we can sub in for your WD4 instead -- so just let me know :)

I'll keep an eye out for characters in the books I'm currently reading having to get up early. So far they haven't but maybe they will before they end. If they do I'll let you know ASAP. In one book they do have a special event coming up so maybe they'll have to get up early to get ready *fingers crossed*
I am almost finished my book for WD4 - I should actually finish it today! Sorry I've been so pokey this month... I might be able to read one more before the end of the week, I hope.
A book about a baker might work -- they get up really early.
Gwen wrote: "I am almost finished my book for WD4 - I should actually finish it today! Sorry I've been so pokey this month... I might be able to read one more before the end of the week, I hope."No worries at all :)
As you can tell, we've pretty much got everything covered anyway with a few days left. And with another player completely dropped out for the month -- I haven't even had to go to UNO Pixie for replacement books to make up for that! So proud of this team :)
Diane wrote: "A book about a baker might work -- they get up really early."I was looking for a short one ..found 2 but 200 pgs but i should be ok with that ..told amazing race i need to finish this challenge first and all SH books finished .
If anyone does come across one though , let me know 😊
Im half way through my instrument and clubbing is only a short so should have them done by tomorrow ..and then getting up early 28th/29th
The book I just finished didn’t have any getting up early unfortunately. If my last book does (have to read it for the color card) I’ll let you know!
