Tina | 768 comments Am I not supposed to update the cards we read anymore? I keep track on them in message 7, but if you prefer I can write it here as well? I just can't update till I know where you want to use the read books.

According to my notes it should be 5 one's and 3 wild's left?

I think it is easier to have it on the current page, that way I don't have to go looking for it.

Have you seen the film?


Caly ☯ Crazy Book Lady And as far as that goes, I am having trouble deciding which book I want to read next. Most books seem to work for multiple numbers so I know it really doesn't matter but it would be helpful to me if you gave me a direction to go in. 8-)

I think go with whatever we have the most of. So probably a one or a skip

It says mini challenge but there are a lot of tasks - i have looked at what they have read for UNO and i have nothing that i could read .

I could maybe do something from part 2 of the challenge

I assume it has to be different books to those used for main UNO hands


Caly ☯ Crazy Book Lady Marie wrote: "Caly � wrote: "Marie wrote: "So i think our valentine is Team Buttercup

Actually it does not have to be a separate book, the rules state:
" Books used for this mini challenge do not need to be separate books for what you are claiming for your UNO hands"

So it just extra points if we do it. And remember it is not just what they have read but also what is on their TBR shelf if it was put there during the month of Feb. in any year.


Caly ☯ Crazy Book Lady For example,

I found that Caroline had added Tailchaser's Song to her TBR list on Feb 02, 2015, so if I read that we can use it for our Uno hands either 2, 4, or Skip, PLUS we would get 8 points for the mini challenge.

It is a bit of a pain to search out books but that is why it is a challenge *grin
What I did was compare books to see if anyone wanted to read or had read anything on my TBR list and then I checked to see the date they added it.

Shanna_redwind | 140 comments Hello team Harry Dresden from Shanna of team Peeta Mallark. You're our valentine. I've been cruising your bookshelves to find something to read and on Ozana's shelf I found School Spirits that she added way back in Feb of 2013. I've read Hex Hall which this one is a spin off of. I'm hoping this will be good as well.

thats good that we can use the same books - my time is limited over next few days I have my granddaughters staying so we are going trampolining this morning - or to be more correct they will be trampolining i will be drinking coffee

Rachael Hewison (rachhewison) | 459 comments The book I'm reading at the moment could fit in Part two for either:

11. Read a book with a 3 in the page count
16. Read a book where there are a group of 3 or more friends
20. Read a book with a young man as the main character

I'll start having a look for Part one
