I think so too :D

No worries. We all know how RL can have it's ups and downs. Good luck with your semester.

Awesome!! Team. ok Snowflake it is. Yay! and its very Christmasy :-D

Oh and there's a mini challenge if you ladies would like to go for it?
Help Save Christmas

What do you think?

Ok so what I found was genre and series for snowflake and i think finding it in the text and title will be the easy.

Series & title:

Genre:

So do we want to try and do snowflake for our new word?

Imke wrote: "I wouldn't go for eggnog, maybe check which word is easier bonus points wise."

That's what I was thinking too.

Ok team we have a choice on the word that we want to do for the last week. Which would you think we would get the most points and will be easier to find for the special task.

Choices:
Snowflake
Candle
Eggnog

Plethora and I think eggnog may be a bit hard to find and too many "G's". What do you ladies think?

Its ok. Any added books work ☺

Vikki wrote: "I still have some Christmas books that I've read that I can check later this evening. I've also looked at some not on my shelves, it's looking really hard to find as a genre"

Yeah I'll take a look and see what comes up.

Sorry Vikki it won't work 😞

Let me double check

I didn’t find genre I meant to say I found the series one. I’ll see if there is one that may work. I totally forgot what I was looking for. This is what happens when you don’t have that second cup of coffee. LOL

Well that's good to hear. I'm sure a day off from school for her is always a plus when it comes to a couch and tv. LOL

I found a mistletoe genre book. Will be starting after my short book. So you can continue your Kate ;-)

Aww I hope your little one feels better soon. Its that time of season. I'm going to see what I can find for the genre or at least check if they put an alternate which I haven't check. LOL
