I'll second locked door mystery

I'll second earth day

I'll second**

ullsexond an academic setting

great job everyone!! this week seems to have gotten me out of my reading slump :)

I finished Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre and Night Film and added them to animal print and fiery character. We only need red/orange cover and title that starts with a letter in NORBERT to finish another dragon.

I finished The Heart Principle and added it to "a person with long hair on the cover" to finish off another Banshee.

I would say it fits both! I finished Slow Fire Burning and added it to "A fiery character" promot and I've started Devolution by Max Brooks for "animal print" as it has a foot print on the cover!

I'll second a book woth an anti-hero(ine)

I finished The Ocean at the End of the Lane (which I loved .. not many Neil Gaiman books that I haven't thorougly enjoyed!) and Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls and used them for a paranormal book and a book "with a title that starts with a letter found in NORBERT". Not sure what I'm going to pick up next

I will finally finish Ocean at the Emd of the Lane today which will work for a paranormal book! and if not today, then by tomorrow I will finish A Slow Fire Burning which would work for a number of different prompts!

Would a hand print work for animal print? it's technically the print of an animal?!
