Would this work for a 1 blue with the title?
Raquel wrote: "Would this work for a 1 blue with the title?"No, that title would only work for the letter M. It’s just the first word, I less the first work is The. I’m that case you can use the T or the first letter of the next word.
I checked out the summary and the place of Idaho, and there are some characters that for S. So even if you read it, it can be used, but I don’t know if it would fit the 1 (O) or the 7 (V) to be used for a blue card.

Let me see what else i can find to fit some of these.

That’s weird! Maybe someone else was updating at the same time as you? That’s happened to me in a past challenge when mine disappeared. Glad you noticed and got it back on there!
Sorry I haven’t posted books for this month it’s been crazy but I probably have at least 9 books that I will post later tonight.
Hello! I'm updating the teamspreadsheet =)@Keri, remember to add your books to your UNO shelf, please
@Raquel, please add It Happened one summer and Hook Line and Sinker to your UNO shelf
Thank you!

Lol I was so focused on everything else that I forgot about that part. Mine are added to my shelf now
Hello again!The mini challenge for this month has started, we can use books finished from april 12 and on, so please check your latest reads to see if they fit any of the taks
The details are here:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I also added an April Mini sheet to our traking spreadsheet so you can fill your books there.
Part one is pretty straight forward, as we need to read books for the tasks listed.
For part two, we need read to complete the animals of the UNO teams, by completing two of these options for each animal:
◈ Read a book with the entire name of the animal in title or text.
◈ Read a book with a part of the animal's name in the title. (This obviously doesn't work for all team names.)
◈ Read a book with a cover representing (any of) the animal's colour(s).
◈ Get creative! Find a way to connect your book to the team name / animal in some way.
I’ll take the WD4 and use 3 Blue. I’ve finished a book that fits. I also will look through my TBR for some more color books since we have a lot unclaimed.
Make sure to post here if you want to claim any. :-)
Ok I can claim 4 Yellow with one of my current reads,
so I’ll update that on the tracking post. I have a few red books that fit but I’m not going to claim them yet because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get to them in time.
I’m also waiting on my hold for
from the library, so if I get that in time I can take a 7 Green but don’t want to claim until I know I’ll get it…
Ok I got
so I’ll claim one of the 7 Green!

COLOURS:
7 green: Claimed by Keri
