Hi all!

Quick update since we're into the last few days of the challenge:
As of right now, we have 15 spots left in our regular hands! (Not counting spots that I knew are already being read for, like colored cards) One of the cards is a Draw 2 as well, so I believe we should only have 13 books left to fill. This number does not include books that have been read but not posted here yet, nor does it consider the fact that we can still use up to three more books from Pixie's shelf if needed �� so we are on very good track to complete our hands for the final month!

I still need to update the mini challenge to see where exactly we stand, which I will do here shortly, but I know there are still a lot of open spaces left! So please check those out and keep them in mind for anything else you finish before month's end (that was started after April 12) :)

Good morning team! I can't believe we are in the final day of UNO already!

You can find the countdown to the finish .

I will be adding all the books posted yesterday to the spreadsheet later today. I will update you with our remaining needs once I have done that!

If you have any books finished that you haven't posted yet, please do so sometime today. Please post any books finished today ASAP. I only have a few hours after the countdown hits 0 to finalize the spreadsheet, so the sooner the better.

Let's finish out this challenge strong! :D

My final Completion Post:

15- Read a book with a lawyer - Barabas is a lawyer

In message 507 i posted the wrong book. It should have been magic shifts instead of magic breaks. I've made the correction. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I am on the road right now, but I will be posting the last two books I read sometime tonight, before it ends!

Thanks for letting me know! I've got it fixed in the spreadsheet now.

Sounds good. Safe travels!

Ok, update time!

Our hands are actually complete (once I finish the last color card later today :-P) so those are taken care of!

Here's what I have open in the mini challenge:
6. first published on 4th April (any year)
16. where a character goes to court
18. where estranged siblings reconnect
20. wtih B and Q in the title
21. with an edible item on the cover
26. with 2 B's in the authors name
29. with 500+ pages
33. with a yellow and white cover
37. where "Haiku" can be found in the title or text
41. 2 different books with the same cover - Book 1
42. 2 different books with the same cover - Book 2
44. with a musical instrument on the cover
45. set in space
46. with the sky and stars on the cover
48. with a Pink cover
49. with the word "Chance" in the title
51. with an austronaut
55. where a poem is included in the text
60. with all the letters in WORK can be found in the authors first and last name
62. with baked goods on the cover
64. where a natural disaster occurs
65. with a camera on the cover

So those are the priority ones that if you have a book that fills that and you haven't posted it yet, let me know :)

But, still please post the other options for your books, as I may be able to move some around on the spreadsheet if needed.

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut (read April 21st) fits numbers 45, 55, and I think 64, but it's been awhile so I don't really remember. If the other two numbers are taken, let me know and I'll look into it.

(I just realized I already posted this book, but there are some extra numbers in here that I didn't realize fit before so if you need to move something around there's a little more wiggle room than before on this one

Little Monsters by Kara Thomas (read April 27th)
16- both Jade and Lauren go to court
18- this might not count, but there were siblings who had never met that got reconnected (Kacey and Lauren)
64- this also might not count, but there was a blizzard that was bad enough to call off a search party

Book: Entombed in Glass
Date Read: 4/30/18

Mini Challenge:
55. where a poem is included in the text
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
You've all heard that fated call.
To the seer of present, future and past,
a nameless face entombed in glass.
I know all,
I see all,
I can answer all...with flair.
Though to tell you the truth, I really don't care.
Matters of mortals? Surely, you jest?
With no solid form, I find their troubles a yawn fest.
I guess I should mention I don't have to rhyme.
Stuck in this wasteland, it passes the time.

Thanks for being such a great captain, Kaley! :-)

Yes, thank you Kaley!!

Thank you all for being such a great team! Even though the hands (aka total possible points) weren’t always on our side, you all made it such a great UNO experience! :)

I had a lot of fun!! Kaley you were the best team captain :D

Can't believe it's over! This was SO much fun! I hope I get to read with you all again at some point, perhaps in another UNO game :)

It went by so fast! I had a great time reading with y'all! Hope to see y'all in another UNO game or challenge. Thank You Kaley for being a great team captain!
