Thanks Laura! We can use it for for the reddish-brown. We will see if someone is reading for it now or if we can get another characteristic for the beetle.

YAY!!! Congrats everyone for another month of completing all the hands. After posting this my book works for

-Peron's tree frog Characteristic (very colorful, don't like to be touched, spots increase with age)-Hades does not like to be touched

I'll go through what I have to see if any of them can be used for next month's color cards.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Just over 24 hours to go! We are doing great, just the mini to go, and only a few for that.

Which book fits this? I'll add it.

I'm so sorry. It will work for Neon Gods

No need to apologize, happy to be able to use it!

Finished the Australia book and updated it. :)

Alma wrote: "Done with my last book today. The blue card is finally over 😵‍💫"

Can you mark it as read and add it to your shelf? I definitely want to use given how hard you worked!

Charly wrote: "I'm so sorry. It will work for Neon Gods"

Let me know when you finish, it's the last book we need!

Ok all, start looking at the color cards you want to read for for April, it will be here soon.

hurray!

Done

What is the website used to check color cards?

Green 0, or 6?
Yellow 2, 5, or 7?
Blue 3?

I'm trying so hard to focus on work and I'll probably finish the book tonight because it is so good and so spicy!! Can't wait for the second one.

These all look great! For yellow, I'd use it for 7 or 5 since those will be the most challenging. Probably 7. For Green, just choose one.

I'm definitely going to read this one next month. It's clearly red but I'm not sure if it will fit into one of the categories yet. Hoping it does...

I'll look for some yellow and green books tonight :)

I guess yellow 7 and Green 6. Ultimately use them however the board will fix together! I like that they have the flexibility :)

It's definitely a Red 1. If it doesn't fit for the others, we can use it as a WildDraw 4 since we have one already (and we will need books for these).

Just logging in now. I finished Neon Gods around 2 am and it was so good! I'm very tempted to start the next book tonight. Hope everyone is having a good start to the weekend!

Happy April everyone!! Hope y'all have a great weekend and April 1st. Can't believe it's the last month of Uno already. Went by so fast!!

Hello 👋 April. I am having lots of fun with this challenge, really reading some different things, 😎

Hi all! The points are in, and we are still low on the leader board. The cards just weren't in our favor - we got all of our points! No worries, to me it is always about having fun and trying to finish the hands. Hope you all feel this way too.

How was your March reading? Any favorites?

My favourite this month was The one. I really easy read and I always enjoy multiple stories intertwined. I do recommended.

I read that one, I definitely enjoyed.

Whoah, that looks pretty interesting. I'm glad for your recommendation, I loke easy and intertwine. Too bad there aren't any copies at my library, I thought yours was at first The One

HMmm, I really liked about 3/4 of the books I read for March. Especially This Woven Kingdom These Infinite Threads I don't know how I can stand waiting for the third one. Also two celebs I knew nothing about, pretty powerful bios I'm Glad My Mom Died(don't be put off by the title) and The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music plus in reflecting, I read quite a few mysteries, for some reason...looking forward to April,

Happy April!
I finished

Laura - I loved This Woven Kingdom as well. These Infinite Threads was one of my most anticipated reads and I was so glad it didn't disappoint. It's so hard to wait!!

I'm just happy chatting books with my friends :) We got April!! I'm going to be a reading machine!! :)

Finished two more books this week. Both of them were tough reads.

Laura, you marked If You Ask Me as read on the sheet, but it isn't marked read in your books. Can you fix?

Thanks!

Skye, can you mark Sourwolf Candy as read (or at least add a date)? The others showed up, but not this one

Stacey wrote: "Laura, you marked If You Ask Me as read on the sheet, but it isn't marked read in your books. Can you fix?

Thanks!"oops, done! ty

I'm dumping all my books in just a few minutes! We leave for Ireland later today and I'll be back home around April 19th. I'm ready for a good vacation. I'll read while I'm gone if I have time but probably won't get anything updated until I get back because I'm not taking my computer.

When I get back, I'll see what is left for color cards and knock a few out. :)

Have fun!

Anna, have a great trip!

I hope everyone is enjoying this years theme of interesting animals. The mini will be released soon, and it really follows our theme! It should be announced soon.

Have a great trip!!!

Nope not jealous at all you are going to Ireland... yea I totally am! Safe and fun vacay!

A few announcements.:

First, the April Mini has been released! There are almost 100 tasks, so I doubt we will get them all done. We should discuss if we want to focus on part 1 or 2 to try to get some completion points.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Second, an update. We are about 1/3 of the way through the month and 30% of the way done. We still need 12 color cards, many of which are unclaimed. (note: if we wait until after the 15th, one yellow cover can count for the mini too). We also need 2 Wild Draw 4s, and 4 Reverses.

All said, we are in great shape and I hope you are all having fun! I also hope you like our new mini as much as I do.

Skye - just a reminder that I need you to set a read date for Sourwolf Candy, please.

I haven’t looked at the colour cards yet so i should be able to fit a couple of books.I’ll sit down tonight and claim whatever works

Me too!

The theme is surely interesting. I was surprised how cute our mascot is- looks nothing like the cartoon character. Also looks nothing like the thorny devil. These are some cool animals!

Wow! so soon? We are doing great! some of the mini's animals are outrageous.

Can I please get this approved as red 9, Set in New york? tyia

I was going to finish two books today but I will hold off until the mini starts.

This book can count for task 23. Read a book where a character is considered to be attached to someone, or with a clingy character. The main character is witch bound to another person... not on purpose... or witch "married"

can be used for task 27 because the main character often finds himself having bad luck

Laura wrote: " Can I please get this approved as red 9, Set in New york? tyia"

Yes. that works.

Stephanie, I put you down for those tasks. I also copied the sheet over to our tracking pages so folks can sign up. Remember, starts the 15th.

I think we should focus on task 1 first and if we finish move on. Thoughts?

Stacey wrote: "Skye - just a reminder that I need you to set a read date for Sourwolf Candy, please."

sorry about that, just saw this. It's fixed.

I know I have a Wild Horses sitting out there.
I had 2 books with the same name.
The first one was good...the second one I'm trudging through, and keep abandoning it for the next in line. I have to finish it this month for another challenge, so I'll get it done.
