Has anyone read Throne of Glass? I'll add it as a Reverse if so. I'm going to use it to cover Mini Part 2 #51

[Kirsten]

Hello, cardsharks!

We've got just under two weeks left to read, and are in terrific shape. Almost all of our hands are complete and nearly all of our special cards have been claimed.

We still have one reverse open, but if Leanne reads any of her other Josh Lanyons or when Melis finishes Throne of Glass, we can fill that in (Taylor read Throne of Glass in July 2023 and I've read all those Lanyons).

The unfinished color cards are
📕 2 (Leanne, Daughter of Time)
📕 5 (Melis, The Henna Artist)
📗 8 (Kat, The Lifeline)

If you aren't going to finish, please let us know. It's most important that we finish the main hands--we get bonus points for every hand we finish.

There were a few things missing from the shelves:
Lisa, can you add Shielding the Superstar, The Murder Between Us, The Grave Between Us?
Taylor, you have In a Holidaze and If You Could See the Sun on your shelf but not on the spreadsheet--could you add them, please?
Leanne. you had 44.1644° North marked on spreadsheet but it's not marked as read on your shelf.

And here's what we've got left for our Main mini:
5. Read book a with a synonym for the word "villain" in title or series title or in text
19. Read a book shelved as Crime or True Crime
21. Read a book shelved as Thriller or Horror
22. Read a book shelved as Noir or Hard Boiled
24. Read a book shelved as Hard Science Fiction or Dystopia
26. Read a book shelved as Monster(s) or Anti-Hero

Updated my books!

[Kat]

Was my blue 3 covered then?

[Kirsten]

Nope, it was not! and neither was Melis' Skip Blue.

Sorry about that. We have a LOT of books on the spreadsheet, and I just missed those.

Of the color cards, we are waiting on
📘 Skip (Rebecca, Key of Valor)
📕 2 (Leanne, Daughter of Time)
📕 5 (Melis, The Henna Artist)
📗 8 (Kat, The Lifeline)
📘 3 (Kat, The Husbands)

[Kat]

Not rude at all! I missed both of those.

[Melissa]

I’ll have my Skip Blue done tonight or tomorrow. I’ll definitely get the ones I have on the spreadsheet completed before the end. Once I have them done I’ll see what else needs to be read for and go from there.

Great job everyone!

[Leanne]

I haven't started my Red 2, but it's next on my list. It will be read before deadline.

[Melissa]

Does anyone have a book that would fit the mini 45. Read a book with a character considered seductive

I’m halfway thru The Henna Artist and there’s not really a character like that. I guess I didn’t remember the book as well as I thought I did LOL I can see if there’s another spot maybe we can swap books?

[Melissa]

Lisa - does your book His Stubborn Bear fit there? I can use The Henna Artist for keeping a secret if it does.

[Kirsten]

I think Lisa has 2 finished but unclaimed books (12 gays of Christmas and something else) and I just finished a book that also fits and has been claimed so I think we can get that covered. That’s for letting us know. And thanks everyone for keeping us updated.

[Melissa]

Ok sounds good. I'll remove it from the Mini tab.

[Melissa]

I'm starting the final book I've claimed Throne of Glass. Is there anything else that needs to be read for? I can look and see what I have that would fit if we do.

[Kirsten]

I think we are nearly done. I am about to finish my last book.

Lisa and Leanne--do 12 Gays of Christmas or Dead Run have any characters that can be considered seductive?

Kat, how are you doing with The Lifeline and The Husbands? We have books we can move into those spots if we need to, so let us know if you'll have trouble finishing.

[MN Lisa]

12 Gays is about roommates who love each other, but don't want to admit it. I'm sure each feels like the other is seductive....

I’m hoping to finish both. Definitely will finish lifeline but not sure about husbands

[Kirsten]

Kat, I’ve got on my tbr that will work for Blue 3. I’ll read it after I finish my Hollywood book.

I’m still gonna try and read it but whether I finish it or not I’m not sure least it should count for May? Think there's one month left isn’t there?

[Melissa]

Uno ends this month. It only runs for 3 months - Feb, March and April. Here’s a countdown till the end :)

Ok thanks

[Kirsten]

Hello and good-bye, cardsharks!

Tomorrow, Uno ends for another year. We have read almost 95,000 pages and over 340 books for this challenge. Every month, even as the number of books required and the as the minis have gotten more complicated, we've finished every task. That's amazing. And even though the Goodreads Uno, just like the real Uno, is determined by the luck of the draw, we've done everything we could to win. You've been an amazing group.

As Lisa and I finalize the spreadsheets, there are a few things left to clean up:

Leanne, can you add Old Poison to your Uno shelf?
Lisa, can you add Fakers and Hacked to your Uno shelf?

Kat, will you finish The Lifeline and Melis, will you finish Throne of Glass by tomorrow (countdown below)? If not, we can move my Heal Thyself and Lisa's Fakers into those slots, so just let us know.

We have done a phenomenal job, and I am super proud of this team. It has been an honor to play with all y'all.

We're almost done!

Should do! Loved this group, wish uno was more than once a year 😁

[Melissa]

I will finish but if you have a book that fits you can use that one instead!

Thanks Captains and team for such a fun Uno! Until next year 😊

[Rebecca]

Thank you team, it’s been really good fun! Happy reading for the rest of 2024 📚

[Kat]

Sorry I didn’t finish my green book
