35559 Cheese for the morning (my time)... not sure 😅

I'll go through already finished books and let you know if we are in need of some specific letters, but I think a Q is definitely needed.

As Fiona said, if you can put read books on your shelf and alert us, we can transfer them to the sheets.

if you don't mind, we will use Denise's book (The Three Lives of Cate Kay) for the last Brazil task and then we can request a new spin.

Thanks, Denise. We can bank this book and use it for upcoming Mini 2 + cheese spell-out. 😊

35559 Thank you for the clarification, Lori.

As she already wrote other novels, irrespective of the genre or the length, then it isn't really a debut novel, so I say no to this.
