@Erin - I follow you here. In the rules - Teams are allowed one incomplete spelling each for the Team Tower and Crayola Tower. We got the Crayola Towers done. We'll need to watch the Team Towers though because we only want to end with one incomplete.

I think it would/should work for stationery. Merrium-Webster dictionary definition:

1. materials (such as paper, pens, and ink) for writing or typing
2. letter paper usually accompanied with matching envelopes

This is the version on Anna's shelf

Camp Zero will fit - Read a book with an average goodreads rating of between 3.01 and 3.5. I'll be done later today.

There was a multiple book tie for the Backroom BOM. Run off poll for Backroom BOM and only open for today.

Jade, the SS is correct. Your TT shelf needs to be corrected.

42 Books tagged post-colonial at least 10 times.

More Wheel and it's more Star Wars😫



Tower Teams 5: Star Wars - Sith

*Read a book with title starts with one of the letters SITH (all words count, inc A, An, The)
*Read a book tagged Post-Colonial at least 10 times
*Read a book featuring aliens
*Read a book featuring a rebellion

Not exactly sure what "post-colonial" is???

@Jade - the version of Feels Like Family entered on the SS has 393 pages (looks like paperback edition) but the version on your TT shelf has 400 pages (Kindle edition). Which is correct?

I can take Peter Pan.

Other books that may work are Sherlock Holmes/Enola Holmes - bother/sister

My least favorite genre😬

You have all inspired me. I am now the proud holder of TWO library cards🥰. At the Free Library of Philadelphia anyone who lives in the state of Pennsylvania can obtain a Free Library card without charge. Some of the audiobooks that are not on Libby through my library are there🥳

I have ONE library card - for the library where I live. I would have no idea how to get another. My county has one system for eBooks and audiobook - aka Libby (which I actually really like!) - so I'm not sure what good another card would do.

You are all intriguing me though....

Erin, how do you even get that many library cards? I assume they are for different libraries. Not sure how that works....

Same here.

I’m heading to the Phillies ⚾️ game this afternoon. Possibility of rain 🌧️ but let’s hope not. I have my rain jacket 🧥 just in case, so it probably won’t rain😂🤞🏻. They are play the Mets so will probably be New York fans there.

I finished my Superpower book.

I looked at other teams SS to see if I could find a China book I could read and that was available in audio. I found one! I will take #118.

Well done Judy! I've been to 4 cities in Texas and Dallas is not my favorite but not my least favorite. My order of Texas cities in my favorite order are:

1. Austin
2. San Antonio
3. Dallas
4. Houston - business trip - no reason to ever go there

I'm sure Dallas was a lot different in the 60's though!

🐿️ NEW CHIPMUNKS TASK 🐿️

#130 - X-Rays - Read a book with bone(s) on the cover

Judy - I listened to the audiobook and it's hard to remember what was in those chapters. The eBook isn't available, but it looks like I can get the paper copy from the library tomorrow, but not until after work. I can get at least one question to you on 6/23. Will that be OK? Do you want to give me a specific chapter? Keep in mind I've never written a DQ before😬

Never check into work while you are on vacation! You deserve a Starbucks....
