Date Read - 6/10
Pages - 352 pages

I should finish in the next day or so and it has a hat on the cover

This is a stretch, but I'm also reading . The girl pictured on the cover is a Playboy Bunny - do you think that could count for rabbit on the cover? If not, I can see if it will work for one of the spell-outs as I read through it. I'm about halfway finished.

Sorry I've been MIA - we had a very busy weekend for the holiday. i feel like this is the first I've even picked up a computer/device in days!

I liked it! It's kind of corny and definitely a YA book, but I thought it was good. I read the sequel and will probably also read the one that just came out.

Brittany, what did you think of this one? It's on my TBR. I've read the first two and watched the show. Enjoyed both.

I have a question about the BOM & DQs - I already read Dumplin. Do we get credit if I answer the DQ's but don't reread the book?

Do we have the recommendations from other teams saved somewhere in one place or should I go back through the early posts?

I admit I am resistant to change sometimes, but what do you all think about the beta pages on Goodreads? I kind of hate them...

Not looking forward to when those changes go live and aren't beta anymore.
