Ah thank you. Think I’ve sorted it now. Somehow I added the ebook version instead of the kindle version I actually read so the read date wasn’t showing. Nightmare 😂😂. Let me know if there’s anymore problems!

Elen | 746 comments (February) Mini-challange has been announced. Read it through, if you have any questions we are happy to help out.

- less than 11h to start of the mini aka books finished after countdown will count toward mini and regular cards. (So, if you are almost done with your current book, it would be awesome if you wait for less than 11h before finishing it :p)

We, I and Louise, are going to update our tracking SS and messages, so everyone can claim tasks, but don't forget to add all tasks your book can work for, cuz' maybe we have to rearrange later something.

The summary of the mini will be posted soon.

Elen | 746 comments Link to rules

First part of the mini - Rules

All underlined words need to be found as words in text or title, items on covers or cover colours. All underlined numbers, are matched to books read by page numbers, series numbers or publication dates. For each book read you will receive 10 points.

If you complete every item in the recipe your team will receive 30 bonus points

Underlined Words -
There are 5 categories:
word in title
word in text
colour of book cover
item on cover
colour of item on cover

Underlined numbers -
There are 3 categories:
page numbers
series number
publication date*

* Numbers for the publication date can be the month or the day or the last two digits of the publication year. (3 digit numbers can not be used for publication date). Publication date is for the edition being read (and shelved).

Example:
Creativity is the key to the challenge, not rules.
So, diagonal lines on the cover? That can work for "diagonally".
A green coloured book? Is the green a bit like a "lime"?!

Words can be in different contexts, so, for example, "peaks" could be a picture of mountain peaks on the cover


Second part of the mini - Rules

Have your team create a recipe for your team name and submit via message to the UNO Pixie by Feb 29 to receive an additional 30 bonus points.


� The usual book length rules apply
