I've been reading a few books in a series and had used book 2 for 9 (setting North Bank). The town is in the state of Virginia and we still have a 7 empty for April. Is it ok to use the town setting for 1 card and the state setting for another card?

Hi all! I just wanted to let you know that I'm reading and am on time with my reading. My grandmother passed away yesterday so I might be a little absent.

which would obviously work for the mini challenge. Do you think it is blue enough for Blue 6? (could use in Wild Draw 4)

If you ask tin eye it will tell you it is mostly gray. But to my eyes it looks blue and our own eyes is what counts.
I agree, I have a hard time with some of the colors that tin-eye comes up with to be honest. Does that mean you think I can use it for blue?

I may be wrong but we will.probs not get all bonus tasks finished so do we need to concentrate on one section to get the extra 30 pts Top one seems the easiest?..less to finish

It looks so yes. But we still have a few days to finish as much tasks as possible.
I haven´t ever had a UNO challenge with such a big mini challenge. At least I can´t remember. It really feels like it isn´t doable.
This has been a slower reading week for me but I will definitely get the 2 books I've claimed read before the end of the month. I've a 3 hour flight on Saturday so may manage to squeeze in another book. Will keep an eye on progress & how I'm getting on with the 2 I've claimed and add another if I can.
I edited my completion post for It would be night in Caracas. It is currently claimed under Venezuelan Poodle Moth, but it will work for #38 if we want to focus on the top. I am almost finished with the last main challenge card I claimed and I can for sure finish one more book. So, I will aim to fill a task from part one instead.
