I found the ISBN for the collection, the version I read is not listed so I don't know how to post it.

I found something with Opal in the text, but I don't know how to list it. The book is a collection of short stories.

Checking in

• What are you looking forward to over the next week?
count down to my vacation. It is going to be a lot of fun

• What is your current read?
I am looking to plug holes in tasks, if there is one that has one or two books unclaimed I am going for those. My current list is

Fight a basilisk; Read a book with the word “Phoenix” in title or text
Write a report on Werewolves; Read a book with a wolf on the cover
Four Champions are Competing; reading square
Silver and Opals; Read a book with Curse in the title

Those are all I can find right now. I have a few days off where I plan on doing nothing but reading
