This one doesn't have a read date yet on your shelf.

Can you ..."

The Wizard of Oz should be ok. I don't know your specific edition, but the Nanowrimo site uses it as an example if a 40,000 word novel.

Book: A Scone to Die For by H.Y. Hanna
Date Read: 3/6/21

Cards:
1- Book 1 in the series
3 - Author, H.Y. Hanna
4 - character, Fletcher
6 - title

Note: This is the second book I've read in a couple of weeks with a main character with the first name Fletcher. Weird.

I got some glorious, interrupted reading time today. 🎉

I'm wondering what you think of this color. It looks blue to me IRL, but less so on the Goodreads image. It's not the book I planned to read for 4 blue, but it has an F character in it.

It's a fairly popular book. I wonder if anyone else has used it. Is there a way to sort or search the blue shelf?

That is fantastic news! Happy for you both.

Book: Red Rising
Author: Pierce Brown

What did you think of this one?"

I've read this too, so you can count it for reverse. I liked it, but there were a couple of scenes where the violence was a bit much for me. It's an exciting story though.

Edited to add: you did count it for reverse. I didn't scroll down far enough. Sorry!

Green cover, but sadly no V characters. :(

I have one short story left in my book of short stories...

This is SUCH a good book - easily one of my favorite reads of 2020 :)"

You guys are making me want to read it. Is there a prize for most team members reading the same book?

I'm reading a book of short stories now that has a green cover. No obvious 7 has emerged yet, but I'll let you know if something comes up that might work.

I can do any of the below:

I've read Convenience Store Woman. It's a very fast read and an unusual book.

Ohhh... I've read The Girl With All the Gifts. I really liked it. Not my normal genre, but I liked it.

I'm just jumping on quick from work. I can do for 4 blue if that wild isn't already taken.

I'm working this weekend, so won't have much reading time until the end of the week. If I start something next weekend, but don't finish it until March, does it count for March? I can't remember.
