Mini Challenge: In both books the MCs take a vacation

Hello!
I updated the spreadhseet to here!
This is what we still need for this month:

Card Quantity
0 1
2 1
Reverse 4
Wid 1 (this is a 3 or 5)

Also, we still need 10 books for the Mini challenge

Also, if you're currently reading a colored book (red, blue or yellow) we can leave them for march if you prefer to finish them by march1 or over)

I actually have 4 books that I read yesterday/today that would take care of everything except the reverse cards but wanted to hold off and let other people get their books in instead. All 4 do work for the Mini Challenge though, so I'll make sure they make it there.

I'll also look into books that work for reverse. It's tough because we have a lot for next month too!

Edited to add looks like this one was once read by Paula so could also be used for Reverse!

Elizabeth wrote: "How many more are we allowed to have for the mini challenge? I'm almost done with a few, and am trying to decide whether to save them for next month or not. They all work for the mini."

With the one you just posted we only need two more to complete. If the books you have don't fit the reverse cards, and you want to save them that would be totally fine!

ETA: I somehow missed Halli's so we only have one left. And I don't know if we're supposed to save that for the actual book since Paula is reading it.

I'm not sure about that either, could you ask in the captains group please?

Will do!

Okay I found this:

Q: "Also have a mini challenge question: Is the team book part of the 40 books we read or is it 40 PLUS the team book?"

A: They count both for regular uno cards and the mini challenge

I just finished Love Lettering. I'm not sure if you need/want a completion post from me - have we used up all of our spots? Do we only need reverses? I didn't see anyone from our team who had read it yet, so I'm not sure if it will work for that.

I can put it in somewhere, does it only work for stand alone? Either way post it and I'll move some stuff around if needed

ETA: I moved stuff around and stuck it in a stand alone spot

Okay so I've updated the spreadsheet, we have everything but 2 reverses filled and for the Mini challenge we're just waiting for Paula to finish The Remains of the Day.

I'm going to my parents this weekend to pick up my new puppy so unsure how much reading I'll get it in. Can definitely pick up one of the Reverses, but not sure on the other one. If anyone wants to fit in a super quick book let us know!

Also, if you want to leave like a chapter or whatever to finish on the 1st any book you're currently reading can be used for March

Hello!

I finished The Remains of the Day, jus updated the ss. Sadly it isn't a reverse, I'll try to finish The Scorpio Races by sunday, but I'm not sure.
So if anyone has a reverse book would be appreciated. (and if you don't finish it by sunday it will be certainly used on march haha

I moved some things around, and now we only need 1 reverse and then we'll be done with february cards =)

Okay I have a Red 5, Blue 6, and Blue 9 or 6. (They could have more letters depending on characters that aren't listed in the blurb).

I'm reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe now which will work for blue 6, 8 or 9.

I also have 28 Summers on my list. It will work for blue 2 & 8 at first glance.

I have Beach Read queued up too, and it's yellow, but at first glance I don't see that it will work for a 2 or 6. Hopefully that will change when I start to actually read it.

I updated post 188

Thank you Halli and Amanda.
I'll check my books too, I had an almost green book u.u ( )

My yellow books doesn't work for 2 or 6 as I remember =/
