Michelle's Empty Nest’s comments from the Hooked on Books group.

You're good to go on your check-in.


However, you need to go ahead and make another guess since you got a hint. Just let me know when someone updates the box on the SS with a new guess.

I have added Hint #2 to your SS. Good luck!

I will take any edition of the book for this challenge.

Way to go!

Let's try a fresh link and see if that helps. Everyone else has been able to access theirs.

Alyana and I are going to switch to NC and Kari will be joining us. Thanks!

"For these books, you will each make a Completion Post in your Team Thread, and then post a link in the Check-In Thread."


I apologize if it wasn't clear enough, but you each have to read a book for each hint. So to receive Hint #2, K.C. will also need to read a book that meets general HOB guidelines. Then you will check in with all 3 books.


Thanks! 😊
