Oh-oh, Sonia has risen!! :)

[Sonia]

Hey now... I already had my coffee... no need to call me a zombie :P

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

😂😂

[Melindam]

But you are not a mere zombie, but a Unicorn Zombie Queen. ;

[Eldarwen]

Ahahahaha :-)

I believe my sister will resent that, but it's an awesome title, I'll take it!

I suppose that would make Eni a Unicorn Zombie Princess? ;)

she might like that

[Sonia]

Nope, no deal. She is pouting about being the one and only unicorn zombie queen

[Melindam]

Oh dear!

[Stacie]

I mean you could always claim Empress status...

[Melindam]

:D

[Sonia]

she said I could try, but I wouldn't last long.

I'm not a zombie anyway... I'm something much much worse

(no clue what at the moment... but I just am)

[Cat]

Extreme Quality Pizza Czar?

[Melindam]

:D :D :D

[Sammy]

Lady High Empress of the Multiverse..?

[Cat]

to be honest I often think of Sonia as She Who Must Be Obeyed At All Times!

It has a nice ring to it.

I agree with this title

Very sensible.

[Beth]

So excited to play this year :D I've missed all the familiar faces and happy to meet all the new people!

[Mary]

How do I sign up for this?

[Christina]

Mary wrote: "How do I sign up for this?"

As mentioned before, the google doc for sign up is linked in the "READ ME FIRST: All About the UNO Team Challenge" thread.

[UNO Pixie, Our UNO Helper]

Sign ups close in about 36 hours.
After that time, any new sign ups will be put on a reserve list and placed on a team when a place is available.

How to be a good team member
1. Turn on notifications for this thread
2. Check this thread sometime before the 25 Jan to find the details of the teams and which team you have been assigned to. (Your captain will also direct message you)
3. Go to your team thread, leave a comment to introduce yourself and turn on notifications for the team thread
4. Read
5. Check the team thread at least once per week and even if you haven't read a book, just leave a comment to say hi.
6. Have fun!

Too easy. :)

[Frida]

[Melindam]

Hello Everyone!

I'm super excited to start the Uno Challenge this year. This will be my third year playing and I'm super excited to play again. My favorite genres are murder, mystery, romance, suspense and I've read a couple historical fictions that grabbed my attention. I have a stack of books that I have been waiting to read and what to talk to others about them. I look forward to this challenge and meeting new readers!

[🐉 PrinZessBookDragon 👑🌶️]

*waves frantically at Charly* hi! <3
all,
what challenge do most of you do after uno?? i would like to spend most of my 2022 doing team challenges. i prefer the ones where you get more than a week to read a book....
i know the wheel challenge isn't until Oct/ Sept???

[Frida]

Tower teams is a good one. It starts right after uno. Also a team challenge, and it’s reading as many pages as you can per team in the 3 months it runs for. I prefer uno, but I did enjoy TT last year!

[Corina]

Hi everyone, this will be my first year participating, always watched from the sidelines. Looking forward to it :-)

Hello Hello!!!
I have not don't another challenge after this one. If you find any, let me know! I would love to keep doing them throughout the year! I did do a Secret Santa last year that was lot of fun and I got to "meet" more readers. Will do it again for sure.

Fantastic! I hope I keep bumping into in many team challenges to come! :)

[Amanda]

I can't wait!! I have so many books I want to read right now, but I'm forcing myself to wait until the start. It's painful. :D

[UNO Pixie, Our UNO Helper]

First round sign ups are now closed

New sign-ups will be placed on a reserve list until a place is available

[Jenny]

Ok. So. It has been half an hour since you closed the sign ups. Where are the teams?

teehee

[Ashley]

Hi! This is my first UNO challenge and I'm stoked!

Quick question about the UNO Shelf.

Is this something we should add potential books to (so that we can look through it once we get the hands assigned) and pick from, or is it to record the books we read for each hand?

[Jenny]

That might be different from team to team, but usually it is to put your finished books, marked as "read" with the read dates, so it is easy for the captains to double check.
Definitely ask your captain when you get a team.

[Charly]

I'm so excited and can't wait to start! The count down begins!!!! I have my to read stack ready to go and trying to contain the excitement!!!!

[Jessica]

Teams! Teams! Teams!
