The two lines that we are closest to finishing are :
Line D1: We only need Frog Month

I will go hunting later for a book that will work for those two after I finish my current one.

Published on the 25th, not sure of the month and year off the top of my head. When I finish it this afternoon, I will post my books from yesterday and today. I will see if I can find a short book that will work for one of the other days I can finish tonight or by the tomorrow morning.
