Instruction on how to use tineye :

When checking cover colours, you will need the URL of your book cover. On the book page, hover over the book cover and click 'Enlarge cover'.

Using Chrome: On the pop-up, right-click and click on 'Copy image address'. You have just copied the image URL.

Using IE: On the pop-up, right-lick and click on 'Properties'. A dialog box will pop up with 'Address (URL):' select and copy from "https://i.gr-assets...." to ".jpg"; it's rather long.

Then go to https://labs.tineye.com/color/ , and 'Enter image URL' by pasting what you just copied and click 'Extract colors'.

Make sure to uncheck the "exclude background colors" boxes too.

Questions:

1. I drew Yellow Reverse after drawing Yellow 4. What do I do since the color was the same?

2. Red Draw Two...what does that mean? I get Draw Two means two books but what is the year?

3. Do skips have a year?

For questions 2 & 3...if no particular year, then just the color is important?

1. I drew Yellow Reverse after drawing Yellow 4. What do I do since the color was the same?
Fine to do Yellow

2. Red Draw Two...what does that mean? I get Draw Two means two books but what is the year?
no particular year

3. Do skips have a year?
nope

For questions 2 & 3...if no particular year, then just the color is important?
Yes, just color is important but remember book has to be on your TBR prior to Jan 1, 2022

Yes, that is correct

Thanks Tien!

Thanks, Tien. That won't be hard. My wishlist has 1238 books on it!

If Reverse follows Random, does that mean another Random book?

For Red in title would you accept the word Scarlet?

Rosina wrote: "For Red in title would you accept the word Scarlet?"

Sorry, no, Rosina, we're not really looking for the meaning of the word but rather those combination of letters intact. For example, these will work

disappeaRED
dolores REDondo
a hundRED flowers
fREDrik backman

aww, thanks, LaurLa :)

I do like to mix things up and yet still have them somewhat flexible.

I have three questions:
1: How many minimum pages are required?
2: Do we have to read in order of cards being pulled if we planned out in advance?
3: When it is a red skip does that mean it can be any other color including colors that are not listed as colors for example a white cover or does it have to be blue, green or yellow?

1: How many minimum pages are required?
no minimum

2: Do we have to read in order of cards being pulled if we planned out in advance?
not at all - read any order you like

3: When it is a red skip does that mean it can be any other color including colors that are not listed as colors for example a white cover or does it have to be blue, green or yellow?
only blue, green, or yellow, sorry, that's the only colours in Uno ;p

Thank you for the clarification

Oops, I have to rework my plan.

OK...reworked my skips to be colors of cards in game (except for color skipped)

How about the random book? Does it have to be one of the colors since the instruction is to pick a book from the first page of random sort?
