Were you able to explain it? There have been some interesting explanations in this game. You are allowed to be creative and have a little fun with it.

Jodi | 148 comments Hi Donna.. Can I still post my books from previous weeks. I read in the timeframe, was just not able to add. It's maybe 6 books.. most likely all 1 point because they were shorter.


message 21: by Melindam (new)

Melindam Hey Team,

Happy New Year!! 🥳

Sorry that I have gone awol in the last part of the challenge, but the holiday preparations would not let me read much.

Just to let you know that over at "The Perks of Being a Book Addict" group the sign-ups for UNO team challenge are open. :)

Sorry, I just noticed this. You can submit books all the way up through the 2nd of the following month to be guaranteed that they count.

Looks like I wasn't the only one that had a rough reading month in December. Team Jacob Marley seems to have fizzled out. Congrats to Team Bob Cratchit for breaking through all the holiday hoopla and wrangling the win!
