One of my books had a small whole heart on it (can't remember which one, but it was one I read in the past few weeks), but I like using the titles with "Broken" and "Fixed".

I'm assuming we can use titles for the charms, correct? I know some were just covers, which I didn't read close enough initially.

If needed, I can go back and find the one with a small heart on it, let me know! :) Great work team!

@Michelle just added Espresso Shot to my shelf. Sorry about that!

For yellow, I could also read
or re-read (which I have on my list, since I want to read the prequel mini book but haven't read this book since my first read years ago) - if you weren't feeling any of your yellow ones.

I'm back! Helping at Summer Camp is always super fun and I love that we turn in our electronics for the week, it's so great and the kids love it!

I'll get to updating my books tomorrow. I got one completed tonight, but kept nodding off, so I figured I'd finish in the morning :) Good work everyone on getting a lot of books completed this week!!!

I’m hoping to get my recent books updated in the thread tomorrow morning (I’m on the app now). Then I leave to volunteer at a summer camp for the week (Saturday-Friday) and I’ll have limited cell phone access. Camp is tech-free, except for a short time during volunteer break, so I likely won’t update until I get back on Friday. Just wanted to give a heads up for absence, but I’ll still be reading! :)

Good luck Jenny!!!

The Summer Children review"

Thanks for the confidence boost on the ratio! Just reviewing 2 books already moved it back up to 63%, so I can't wait until I have more books in my total.

Also, I LOVED The Summer Children! It was the first book I reviewed on NetGalley. What did you think of the first two books? To be honest, I read it not knowing it was the third in a trilogy, but fell in love with the characters and have since bought the first two :)
