Susan | 682 comments 20.3 - Best Review - Chris MD's task: Monopoly Money, Spring, and the SRC
I am so ready for spring! So I’ve decided to combine the season with our quarterly theme. Four of the denominations on American Monopoly money match task point values in the SRC, and their colors are all pretty pastel spring colors.

I chose:
$10 – Yellow – Yellow is the color I think of when I think of spring, and that makes me thing of Easter bonnets. Read a book where the cover shows a type of hat. It can be any type of hat but it can’t be just a head covering, so for example, a woman wearing a head scarf would not be acceptable. Required: Include the cover when you post.

I read The Perfume Collector by Kathleen Tessaro by Kathleen Tessaro. The hat was approved in comment 19 of the task thread.

She is a GR Author.
