The knife/sword looks white to me!

I think the British also have Virgin Islands. Regardless, both countries have been used twice before. Let’s use it for a spell out.

Same! Please only read what you feel like :) I don’t mind the geisha book since I went to Japan on my honeymoon and it brings back memories of the tours we did there :)

Okay I’ll quickly read it today then. I’m having a stay on the couch and do nothing day today 😁

Priya, were you going to read the geisha book?

I would have thought that the ACOTAR books would have been MPG adventure (I mean, why is count of Monty Cristo Adventure?!) but sadly no. I can find another book that would fit, but I’m going to be very slow reading it. If no one else claims it, I can read one. I’m so bored of the fantasy books I’ve been reading! I could definitely use the change.

Tara, Priya and Jackie we have our team thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Thank you! I think you can also sign up on the thread and partner up with other players who are looking for a team.

@Jackie - yes! With you, we’ll be at 4 :) same link to sign up. You’d have to let Michelle know that you’re joining the 3 of us :)

Priya wrote: "Ooh mystery solving! I would love to team up @Aiswrya"

oh yay! Let's do it. We can take 2 more on our team, if anyone else if interested :)

On a separate note, would anyone like to team up (2-4 on a team) for this challenge - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Sounds fun!

Yeah the wait is crazy for this book! Do you have hoopla at your library? It's usually much better.

Same! I'll go do them now

Should we use tokens for an extra entry? Between all the DQs we’ve participated in during the challenge alone, we should have enough for 1 additional entry at least.
