Shan ~A~ | 95 comments Keri, that's great as I'm completely lost as to how the colors work exactly

For color cards it needs to be the color, but also fit one of the tasks for the card type?

Yes exactly! It’s basically the same as whatever the number/word normally means, but ALSO with the color of cover listed :-)

UNO Pixie | 1839 comments Hi Team,

FYI, as you were allowed 2 Pixie books for February and used only one, one more Pixie book was added to your sheet to cover the last uncompleted card, a WD 4.

This means that your February hands are now complete.

UNO Pixie | 1839 comments Hello again Team 🐼 🐜,

From now on Keri will be supporting you, Paula & Patti as another co-captain.

Happy Reading! 📚

Keri | 602 comments I’m glad to help anyway I can! I’ll keep tracking the color cards as you post to claim them here. I just ask that you do post here so it’s easy to keep track.

And also they are working on getting me access to the regular spreadsheet.

Paula and Patti, I am comfortable with spreadsheet formatting and tracking posts. I’m also comfortable with balancing cards in the regular hands in the spreadsheet so we get the best use out of our books, as long as everyone posts to the tracking sheet all cards their books can work for.

I’m not very comfortable with the mini challenges if that’s something I could offer less help with.

Keri | 602 comments Raquel I see you marked something to work for red color—can you post here whenever you read one that works for an open color card also? That way I can update the tracking post in what else we need—I just don’t want anyone to hunt down a color cover only to find that the card was already read for:-)
I’m going to claim the other Red 6 for you and highlight red on the spreadsheet :-)

I also will totally check the spreadsheet also to help keep up on things marked there as best I can!

Keri | 602 comments Paula I didn’t see a message from you but since you have a book highlighted blue on the tracking sheet, and listed as stand alone, I’m plugging it into Blue 0 to keep tracking up to date and so everyone knows what color cards are open, but I can’t find that book with a blue cover. Can you post the link in here so I can find it to add to the tracking post? Thanks!!!

Mine has been too—I haven’t finished a book yet but just keep adding new ones because I’m not getting sucked into anything. The plus side is when I do finish I’ll have a bunch at once lol

Yes I agree—looks plenty blue to me!

What’s the one for 4 Blue? I saw Find Me on the spreadsheet but there wasn’t an author so I want to make sure I put the correct one in the post—is it Alafair Burke?

Ok if you get a chance post them in the thread with which specific color card, title and author, and I’ll add them as it’s easier for me to see (my work hates Google—stupidly) and I’ll add them to the post.
Otherwise I’ll hunt them down later today and add them when I get home :-)

Hello Raquel, can you please check the edition you read for Freak, because the one on your shelf doesn't have a red cover, so we can't use it for 6 red.

Hey Patti, I see what’s wrong and am fixing it now. That drop down option pulls from a list somewhere else but where it thinks the list is, there’s nothing in those cells. I’m working on updating it now and also adding one for the names on the mini sheet like I did on the regular one :-)
