I found a book that references the movie The Karate Kid in the text -- will that work for the final mini challenge? Am very happy to read it.
Quick question for you Captains -- for books that we read this month, but that just weren't needed for a card OR for the mini challenge, should we include them in our UNO23 shelf? or only have the ones that were used?
Diane wrote: "I found a book that references the movie The Karate Kid in the text -- will that work for the final mini challenge? Am very happy to read it."It should work. It is of Asian origin and it is mentioned in the Text.
Diane wrote: "Quick question for you Captains -- for books that we read this month, but that just weren't needed for a card OR for the mini challenge, should we include them in our UNO23 shelf? or only have the ..."I would say only books that were used but nobody will get angry if you put all books you read for uno on the shelf. That way, if we need one of those books it is easier for you to find them.
@all:If you have books promises and are not sure you get them all red in time please tell us now. We have a lot of overflow books we can use to fill in but we need to know it. And please don't be shy to tell us you can't finish your book. That is not a problem. It will only be a problem if you don't tell us in time.

Sorry for butting in, but books for March cards can have been started any time since 1 Feb (when UNO began), but they need to be finished after 1 Mar, 9 am UTC.
Ah shieet That’s what I thought I wrote lol
Lol, no worries. Just wanted to make sure if I needed a filler book as I'll probably finish my current book over the weekend, Monday at the latest. Can't have a day with no reading!
Woo hoo, new hands are up, thats my evening sorted 😄
Maybe I'll just get a bunch of books started this weekend!
