Can you take a look at hand 2? I don't quite understand how you arranged 2 cards "draw2", because there are must be total 3 books in this hand."


So Kierra, could you look at the hand again? I changed it as you suggested, but is it ok that the book for Skip doesn't have anything to work for 'K' or 'P'?

Greta Ok, I will do that yellow 7 then.

Never mind. Character Perry worked for the Skip card.

kierra (karmania) Nanci, yep, Hand 2 looks great!

Now, about Hand 5 and 7.... :) There are unused Draw2 cards there as well and I am a bit confused why. Are you planning on filling them at the end of the month?

Good thing I have you to keep me straight! For some reason I keep forgetting that the Draw 2 takes care of two books. Thanks for your help. I think all hands are correct now, but if later on I do it again feel free to remind me. :)

Nanci | 1864 comments Team,
I haven't heard from Brianna since the beginning of the month. I'm a bit concerned since she signed up to read one of our color books- 2blue and also the Reverse in Hand Two for the book, Shatter Me. Can anyone volunteer to take either one of those for her?

Also, we still have an 8red color book that needs to be claimed for Hand 12.

Kierra, are you going to be able to finish your color book for Hand Nine, 8red?


message 565: by Greta (new)

Greta Has anyone read Winter by Marissa Meyer? I will be finishing it soon & maybe it would work for Reverse.

Nanci | 1864 comments Thanks, Raine. Got them.

Has anyone read, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake? We need another reverse.


message 581: by Nanci (new)

Nanci | 1864 comments Greta,
I read Open a few years back. I was skimming your shelves to see if you'd read anything that I could use a Reverse and saw you read it in 2016. I reread it, so we can use it. I also saw your comment about growing up watching him play. I really liked him. I had no idea he hated tennis so much until I read it. Interesting memoir.

We still need one more Reverse and then we're set.

Cool! Yes, I thought it was a great read and definitely had no clue how much he hated tennis! My dad just pulled out my old racket that I used and it was the yellow and black one that Agassi promoted :D

Is this the one, Greta?

message 587: by Nanci (new)

Nanci | 1864 comments Hi Team,
Happy almost Friday. In the US it's a 3 day weekend, so hopefully that means a little more time to read around picnics, parties and remembering those who have served or are currently serving our country. It also means UNO challenge will be over in just 5 short days! I'm going to read Shatter Me since we haven't heard from Brianna. Other than that we have 17 more books to complete! We do still have 9 books we can claim as Player X, since we're so short on players. I'm feeling hopeful we can finish all our hands in the next 5 days.

Please keep posting and reading in this final stretch!! We can do it!!


message 588: by Greta (new)

Greta I have read Shatter Me. Does that help?

Have you read it this month? If not, could you reread it if it's been more than 6 months? That would be great!


message 590: by Nanci (new)

Nanci | 1864 comments If not, I will read it. It's just not in my genre.


message 591: by Greta (new)

Greta Hmm, I didn't like it :-(

Have you read The Girl You left Behind?


message 592: by Greta (new)

Greta I ask because that's my next book after the Yellow 7.


message 593: by Nanci (new)

Nanci | 1864 comments Yes, Greta! I read it in 2015. You just made my day! I really didn't want to read Shatter Me, especially since you didn't like it either. I've added The Girl You Left Behind to my UNO shelf and I will also add it to the spreadsheet and remove Shatter Me. I liked that book. Hope you do too!


message 594: by Greta (new)

Greta Ok, I will do my best to get them both done :-) nothing like a little pressure to keep me focused!

I'm glad you don't have to read that one! I just barely made it through...

Sorry we didn't get to yours, Letitia. The different taste is books is what makes GR interesting. :0

Greta, thanks so much for taking on the challenge of reading two in a short time!


message 598: by Greta (new)

Greta Did you like it a lot Leticia? I do like YA most times but sometimes a book just doesn't click for me.


message 599: by Nanci (last edited May 26, 2016 07:56PM) (new)

Nanci | 1864 comments Ok, I'm having a really hard time finding a red cover 8 book. Has anyone read one this month that we could use? Anyone have a suggestion for one that would work? I'm asking the mods if any of these would work Now I See You A Memoir by Nicole C. Kear and Tiny Beautiful Things Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar by Cheryl Strayed and The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen , but if someone has already read one, that would be better. I don't even know if they'll have a character or place in them that starts with an "I". Any clues how to search for that??


message 600: by Nanci (new)

Nanci | 1864 comments For Eurovision we just have to find a "Y" for Norway and then a "U" for Istanbul and we'll finish two more words. I'm guessing that's all we'll get before the challenge is over, but that would be 7 words and I think that's pretty great for our small team. :)
