Thanks Kristi! I will!

Wondering if this would work? It's tiny, but the reflections in the window are of trees.

Thank you!

Would Lion Heart: A Novel work? The main character begins to write a book about his experiences searching for the True Cross within the novel. And his day job is to write speeches for a politician.

Thanks Kristi!

Would Yes, Chef: A Memoir work?

Thanks Skandia!

Thanks!

Thanks Lois!

Question about 3: Can I read the first and last books of an author with just 2 published books? I'm thinking of Jonathan Miles - Dear American Airlines & Want Not.

Would this work for 1?
- The boat looks like it can hold 2 people, and the water body it's on is big enough as well.

Would this be ok for blue?

Alison, can I have these approved? All ARCs on my TBR - I haven't decided which I will use for this task:

Astonish Me: A novel
Belle Cora
Black Moon: A Novel
Wake: A Novel

Can I have these two approved?

- polar bear that would be found in a zoo.

- was the Whitbread Children's Book of the year for 2001 and was also longlisted for the Man Booker.

I wanted to get Sense & Sensibility ok'd. It's Joanna Trollope's take on Jane Austen's book, but 6 people seem to have put it under Classics.

Sure thing!
