The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

I've added my first book to the SS. Hopefully I'm right in highlighting the book with my colour now?

Diane, it will work for 9 red as character called Nico in it"

Thanks, I will put it in now!

Just an fyi, I am not great with figuring out the wild card/ draw and extra cards and stuff, so am really only capable of filling in the spot where I read the book in the spreadsheet. Anything extra will be up to you, my Captains!

Oh man, now I have my first reads figured out, I just want to get started!

I think the wild card 4 is where we just read one of the colour cards that has been claimed , so i may read 1/ 2 of yours
We have 3 wild card 4 this month

I may read your red one as we dont have a lot of those this month

Is this ok for yellow

Diane wrote: "Someone already claimed Red 6, so I will hold this one for another month."

Yeah, that was me...You can still use it for a Wild Draw 4 though.

I would vote yes for yellow.

Don't worry about it. Helke and I usually move things around.

I would say yes.

I have updated the ss with your colors. The colors are there to make it easier to go through the whole things and it would be appreciated if you fill the whole line with your color :)

How do we know whats our colour.

Edit..my SS just updated

Hi all! Lovely to meet you. I'm Federica, 29, Italian living in London. I love to read but don't have that much time unfortunately but UNO pushes me a lot, I love a good challenge. It's my 3rd year doing it and looking forward to it!

Hi Fredrica 👋..good to meet you

Welcome Federica :)

It's the same color as the color of your listed name in the stats box

Use the same book for two cards in this hand (and get points for both cards) "

It will fill in 3 cards. Two cards from the hand the draw 2 card is in plus the draw 2 card itself. But you only get points for the 2 different cards and none for the draw 2 card.
I'll show you on the ss as soon as I find a fitting book.

F.e. the book you showed us for red 6 could be used for a wild draw 4 card as as red 6. That is the way this card works. You have a tab on the ss where all the cards are explained. But if you are not sure Gustaf and I will fill these cards in. We often try to fill these cards first of all because they are often hard to find. So no need for any of you to worry about it. But please don't get angry if you don't find your books where you put them on the ss.
And things get easier with a bit of practice. Don't fret and wait until we have started the challenge and filled the first places in the ss properly.

Hi Frederica. Glad you joined us. Hope you will have lots of fun with us.

@all
If you have claimed cards and RL gets in the way please tell us. It is no problem as RL is way more important but we need to know it so the rest of the team can compensate for you.

I had to LOL @Helke. I was like what is RL...oof. We are doing well over here!

Hope nobody minds but ive gone and pinched all remaining Draw 2's..thought may be easier to get them out the way and it will make me read some books that i need to read 😄😄

I don't mind. If you think it helps your other challenges go for it.

ive been thinking the first is on Sunday and only realised this morning that its not 😔

Janeylou wrote: "ive been thinking the first is on Sunday and only realised this morning that its not 😔"

No, a few more days to wait. Probably the only reason I've remembered it's a Wednesday is because I've a Zoom meeting that evening

I am with you Janine, feels like a long way away still!☺️

Can someone check the colours on SS a lot of them are very similar and im not sure if mine are correct ..do you get as many colour choices/shades on the sheets app?
Vicki / fredrica/ janeylou all look the same to me

I’ll take a look when I get home

I tried to make them as different as possible. We can only use pastel or it would get difficult to read.

Only one day to go now.
Sorry for being absent. My notifications still don't work.

If you go to the box where your name is highlighted in your colour and click on the background colour, your colour should be ticked. That's how I worked out which one to use :)
