Better late than never - here’s my uno-shelf.

[Kaley]

Does anyone want to claim any of the color cards?

Just a reminder, these are the color cards we have for February:
7 Blue - Kimber
3 Red - Gwen
0 Yellow - Kaley
9 Yellow - Franziska
2 Green - Janine
5 Green - Kimber
6 Green - Gwen
7 Green - Gwen

WD4 #1 - Kaley (duplicating 3 Red)
WD4 #2 - Gwen (duplicating 9 Yellow)
WD4 #3 - Megan

We also have to duplicate 3 of those for our Wild Draw 4 cards.

I’ll give everyone a few days to claim and then I’ll start looking for books to fill in the unclaimed gaps. I do have two currently that will work but I want to let everyone else claim what they want first!

[Janeylou]

Off to bed now so will look in morning

Ill take 2green. what does the # mean?

And
0 yellow

The numbers in the color card follow the same rules as the regular number cards. So to work for 2 Green that book would have to fit the requirements for a 2 (#2 in series, character first or last name starting with T, author first or last name starting with T, set in a place that starts with T)

[Gwen]

I'm interested in reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and I think that would fit for the 7 Green card. I'll keep looking for others.

[Kimberly~☆♡Love of Books♡☆]

ok so its not a series bk. so it wont work.
will these 2 books work for something? I would like to read them for February.

I have an uno read list. I do have blue and red covers. Maybe u can let me know what to read that will help the team out?
Just let me know thanks!:)

What does the letter T have to do with the # 2?
Sorry this is my first time playing and for some reason im not understanding the rules just yet.

Sorry this is my first time playing and for some reason im not understanding the rules just yet.

The color cards are a little harder because not only do they have to have the right color cover, they have to follow the number rules for UNO as well. So in order for a book to fit the 2 Green card (for example) it has to have a green cover AND follow the rules for the number 2 (start with a T, book 2 in a series, character with a T, etc).

The list for what all the numbers mean is on the first page of this thread, under the link UNO rules.

I played last year and so I hope this is helpful. Maybe Kaley or Franziska can explain better.

Ok thank you so much!! Ill go back and check that out.

[Gwen]

Some other books I have on hand to read that might fit a couple of the color cards are:

3 Red: The Hundred Secret Senses (H in title)

0 Yellow: Island Beneath the Sea (Main character is Zarite)

6 Green: Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (S in title and author)

I don't think I can read all of these (including The Seven Husbands book above) but I probably can read two. Lets see what others have before I commit to anything...

I think that’s a really good explanation, or do someone need some clarifications with the rules or something?

[Franziska]

I think I have something for #9 Yellow, I just have to check if it is enough yellow:
, which is set in Night Vale and a character’s name starts with N as well.

Franziska wrote: "I think I have something for #9 Yellow, I just have to check if it is enough yellow:

It’s 57.5% yellow, so I would claim the yellow #9 spot, if that’s okay for everyone

[Janeylou]

The 3 colour cards that can be duplicated ..is that any 3 ?

That will work for 7 since it has Seven in the title!

[Kaley]

Janeylou wrote: "The 3 colour cards that can be duplicated ..is that any 3 ?"

That is any three that we have for February, yes. But each one can only be duplicated once -- so it has to be three different ones.

It doesn't have to be part of a series. It just has to fit one of the requirements, not all of them!

will actually work for 5 Green because it has a green cover and fits the requirement for 5 because the title starts with I. So I can put you down for that one. Color cards with 5 are actually one of the hardest ones to cover, so this is perfect!

I'm not sure will fit any color cards this month, unless there is a character with a Z or N name once you start reading. You can definitely still read it this month and we can use it for a regular non-color card! From what I can tell just from looking at the book description, it will fit 1 (character last name Owens), 2 (Title starting with T), 3 (Author last name Hoffman), 4 (character Franny), 5 (character Isabelle), 6 (character Susanna), or 7 (character Vincent).
Or if you want, you can hold it till March and hope we get a 2 Yellow, 3 Yellow, 4 Yellow, 5 Yellow, 6 Yellow, or 7 Yellow! Completely up to you.

would work for 7 Blue (blue cover, character named Vanessa)

Great, I have you down for 7 Blue and 5 Green then.

Thanks for your patience! I know the rules can be very confusing at first. I promise once the challenge starts and you're reading for it and seeing how books get placed it will start to make much more sense!

[Kimberly~☆♡Love of Books♡☆]

Thank you for all the help all of you! I think Im kinda getting the hang of it now.

[Kimberly~☆♡Love of Books♡☆]

The 3 Red for the place would New Hampshire work? I know it says
"set in a place name starting with H" But just want to dbl check.

No, it’d have to use the N for that one.

[Janeylou]

Whats free for me to take

ok thanks

[Emilienne]

Well I'll be looking for books in my train tonight for each category.
One question: are the hands the same for one month? That what I understand.

[Janeylou]

Em , on the spread sheet the 15 hands that are on it are for feb , then have new ones month after

[Emilienne]

Janine, I feel stupid. I wasn't on the right sheet, I was on March 😂

[Emilienne]

So hwo do we choose the task to read? To be sure we read the rights books and not read a book for a task already taken

[Elizabeth]

I often read giant bricks (the book I'm currently reading is 800+ pages) so I don't read as many books as most of you... I also get easily overwhelmed by having to choose books in advance to claim certain spots, so if it's okay with everyone you can use my books to fit in whatever task is open and available.

That's how I did it in the past, I just want to make sure it's still okay. 🙂

[Janeylou]

Most books will fit in several tasks and can be swapped around ( like Spell ) its the coloured ones that are harder .
So just read what you want and let us know all the categories it will.work for when you post it
Im presuming the last week Kaley will tell.us if we short on anything in particular so we can try and find it

[Gwen]

I can commit to the following:

3 Red with The Hundred Secret Senses (H in title)

6 Green with Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (S in title)

7 Green with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (Seven in title)

I'm torn between the two yellow cards with:

0 Yellow Island Beneath the Sea (MC Zarite)

and/or

9 Yellow Recursion (Setting NYC)

I think I'd rather read Recursion than Island Beneath the Sea but can read either one (or neither one!), depending on what we need.

[Kaley]

What Janine said — just read what you want to read and I will put it where it fits best :) No cards aside from color cards will be “taken”

Perfectly fine! I actually don’t like to claim regular numbered cards because it works out much easier for me to just put them where they fit best. Color cards are my only exception because those are more difficult to fit without a little planning. But you are perfectly fine to just read what you want and then I can put it where it fits best. That’s what I prefer anyway :)

[Janeylou]

When youve allocated name to the coloured books , I'll see whats left

[Kaley]

Gwen wrote: "I can commit to the following:

Ok, I have you down for those three! If you want to do the 9 Yellow, I can put you down as one of the Wild Draw 4 cards duplicating 9 Yellow.

[Kaley]

I’m going to go ahead and claim the 0 Yellow and one of the WD4 cards duplicating 3 Red. So here’s what I have

7 Blue - Kimber
3 Red - Gwen
0 Yellow - Kaley
9 Yellow - Franziska
2 Green - Janine
5 Green - Kimber
6 Green - Gwen
7 Green - Gwen

WD4 #1 - Kaley (duplicating 3 Red)
WD4 #2 - Gwen (duplicating 9 Yellow)
WD4 #3 - Megan

[Gwen]

Kaley wrote: "Gwen potentially taking one of the WD4 to duplicate 9 Yellow — waiting on confirmation"

Okay, sounds good! Put me down for 9 Yellow with Recursion, I can do that.

[Janeylou]

I can do 2 green using ....
Will wait and see if anyone else wants to claim duplicates , if not i got some

[Kaley]

Janeylou wrote: "I can do 2 green using ....

Ok! I’ll mark you down. Do you know which edition you’ll be doing? I noticed the one you currently have shelved (default edition) didn’t have a page count. If you’re using that edition I’ll just have to have to get proof of page count from you and have a Goodreads librarian add the page count. If you’re using the Kindle edition then it’s fine, you’ll just have to switch it to that edition once you’ve read it :)

[Janeylou]

Yeah its kindle had it on my tablet for years and ill change edition when i post

That looks good! Oh I can't wait for the challenge to begin.

[Emilienne]

So we're good for coloured cards?

[Kaley]

Emilienne wrote: "So we're good for coloured cards?"

We have one more wild draw 4 available for anyone who wants it, but if no one takes it I’ll make sure it’s covered.
