I have one also, Gea, for 651+ but didn't want to commit until I finish the others that I've spoken for.

I see we need one more book to decorate the chariot. I'm planning to read which has a flower on the cover.

I can read Daughter of the Forest. I'll be reading the Kindle version which is 560 pages so that would fill Heat 4 551-600 pages.
