Thanks all for the congratulations about my good health report! I am thrilled! Good health is everything!
Thanks all! The procedure was a complete success and they were able to resolve my arrhythmia issue that I've had for 38 years. No more meds and a nice healthy heart! I feel fantastic, but will follow Dr's orders and take it easy. Nice excuse to have to just lay around and read!
I am still reading and here. This one book is just taking me forever! Today I go in for a heart ablation procedure, so I should be able to get a lot of reading time in the next 4 days, since I have to lay low afterwards.
Definitely!

B2 Eagle- Setting is small American town of Macedonia, West VA . The town is celebrating it's sesquicentennial in 1938. The Federal Writer's Project, a New Deal jobs program, has decided to write up the history of the town. (Thought maybe this would work since there's so much "Americana" in the story.)

Just after I said I couldn't find any from my library, I found this!
I can read it for task #59 (two dogs on cover) if no one else wants to read for it.
I probably won't start it for a week, so feel free to grab the task if you like!

I'm trying to get a few little by little! lol I tried to fulfill the 2 dogs on cover, but couldn't get any at my library. Just got my two free from Amazon Prime Reading, but they don't fit any of the tasks remaining.
I will start my other promised book, The Butterfly Groove: A Mother's Mystery, A Daughter's Journey now.
Thanks, Stacie! I just realized I hadn't put the number from the list. I searched for it the shortcut way (command G on my Apple computer) and it didn't come up. I freaked out since I knew I'd seen it! Searched page by page and found it. Odd it didn't come up with my normal search, but glad I found it!

Hooray for getting all those extra points! Thanks for volunteering for the DQs, team! Sounds like a few might be challenging. Still hoping my BOM will come in from my library, but the waitlist is insane!

F2-Mirror. There were numerous times in the book when the character (view spoiler) would look in the mirror trying to figure out who she really was as she was living a lie and secretly passing herself off as white.
or
H6-One of the characters (Kennedy Sanders) worked in the theatre for awhile.
If that doesn't work and you don't see anything else that will fit, then we can just use it for page points.
The list is very helpful, E!Actually, I'm about 1/3 of the way done with #19 Out Stealing Horses. It also works for #157 MC is elderly (he's 67), although some of the book is a flashback to when he was a teen.
I will be listening to Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim which works for task #193 book from epistolary list. I should finish up my current audio book in the next few days and then I'll start this one.

Congrats on getting your first vaccine shot! I've heard it's good if you feel tired or a bit ill. Supposedly it means you have a strong immunity system. Helpful to think that anyway when you're a bit under the weather!
