The other issue is an old bug that's never been fixed is that not all books are exported. I have been between 10 and 65 books short. It's a pain.And each subsequent export different books are missing.
ATTENTION!Teams and their threads have been set up, but you can also check them out here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Please note that the threads will not be open right away.
Once your captains, co-captains had time to arrange everything, they will post here and invite you to check in.
It may take a few days depending on their availability and Real Life.
Every participant can view their team's official spreadsheets, but only captains/co-captains get editing rights, so please do not send access requests to the Pixie account.
Your captains will let you know how to report read books and answer any other questions you may have.
*happy dance*LOVE that I'm on team Jareth. And I will 100% be watching Labyrinth again in the near future. 😂
Now open up and let us in! 😜

Also I very much like the fact that I got into the Hans Gruber team xDDDDD
Glad you do, Chrissie. :)The lift doors will open in a few hours. ;)
Chrissie, I loved the show in my teens, but I was an Angel fan... now that I'm an adult, Spike is a far better choice for me lol

Big fan of Rufus too. The Diplomat is one of my favorite shows and he was so unnerving in The Man in High Castle.
Irene Adler invites you to partake in a delightful Pink Lady with her! (and maybe sneak some mischief in along the way!)
🥰 Jareth for President!!!!! 🥰
Oooops! Right Guy, wrong movie! 😉
No, Christmas in NOT cancelled!
Team🍸Hans Gruber's Grinch Mimosa🍸 is open for business.
Click on the image below and get ready to take Nakatomi Tower with us. On the way to the top, let's sample the delicious Grinch Mimosa. 😊
So many awesome villains here! And references to many of my favourite movies! Didn't expect to see A knight's Tale references this UNO, but I'm glad of it! 😁

Labyrinth is also one of my favourite movies (and also love A Knight's Tale (view spoiler)), but I got to be Team Labyrinth in 2021, so I am NOT complaining.😉
Well, you're on team Gruber, so I'd be surprised if you were 😁. also Nottingham was my fave character of his!(though I wouldn't have been at all surprised had you been team Loki. any excuse for Hiddleston pictures! 😁)

You can imagine the struggle in my soul as I was trying to decide bw AR and TH! 😂 And then the struggle bw the Sheriff and Hans Gruber.... but all that bone-chilling suaveness and coldbloodedness, ... irresistible 😉
I definitely can, lol.Least surprising combo of the challenge: Cat & Gisborne 😁
And now my rewatch list comprises of:
Labyrinth
A Knight's Tale
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
Robin Hood the tv show
Anything at all with Hiddleston in it (but probably The Night Manager, because GAH!)
Add to that the fact that mid-feb is my traditional annual re-watch of the LotR trilogy, and this does not bode well for my actually getting any reading done 😆
I looked at Loki expecting to see Sammy! That wouldn't have surprised me.
I wouldn't have been terribly upset at that choice either, but I do love Jareth 😁

Ahhh! The lovely Alan Rickman. Sigh!

Sammy, the BBC Robin Hood definitely needs a rewatch. And not just because of their sheriff. I liked their Robin ;-)

and Jenny + Don John ;)

I would have, but the whole point of UNO for me is a low-pressure, relaxing challenge. I'd have jumped in if needed, but otherwise am happy to leave the headaches to other people for a change, lol.

Kylie, love that you appreciate him...
and BTW, loved Rufus Sewell in Cold Comfort and also in the Shakespeare remake of "The Taming of the Shrew"
