I have finished my first book, Brownies and Broomsticks, a cozy mystery, for the tribute to Pat Harrington Jr and Ken Howard.

[Trudy]

My first book finished is The Sorrows of Young Werther, a classic, for tribute to Harper Lee. It was first published in 1776.

[Kerri]

Finished Broken Promises, a cosy mystery, tribute to Pat Harrington Jr and Ken Howard.

[Sarah]

Finished Skin Deep, which has a character with an interezting mental health condition, for the Patty Duke tribute.

[Casceil]

I have finished my second book, Suspect, by Robert Crais. It is a terrific book, and I highly recommend it. It turns out to fit multiple categories. When I started reading it, I figured it fit Patty Duke, mental health issues, since it is about a man and a dog who both suffer from PTSD. At some point I realized it would also fit Rob Ford, corruption. But I think my favorite category for it would be U.S. Military. One of the two main characters is retired marine dog Maggie.

[Elsbeth]

I finished my last book for this Toppler - and just got a little worried that it wouldn't fit any task (I hadn't checked before I started reading...), but then I saw 'romance' for Glenn Frey, so that is my fit!

I read: Seizoen voor liefde by Stephanie Laurens. It was okay - I'm not really a fan of historical romances. I love historical fiction, but usually with more of a story (not just: boy meets girl, they fall in love, but before the happy-ending a lot of stuff happens...). But this one was a fast read - and so very good for a Toppler! :)

[Sarah]

I'm on my phone but I finished Alice Through The Looking Glass. It was a short book but it took me a little while to read I just couldn't get into it. Read it for the Harper Lee tribute for a classic.

[Ariane]

I finished my last book for this toppler, Le Prince de la Brume, tribute to Paul Daniels, Read a book with a magician in it (more than just a mention), or a book with magical realism as a genre on its GR page.

I finished my final book After Dark, Paul Daniels tribute, magical realism.

Oh! I just realised I got it wrong and I can enter the last book I read - sorry, had been confused. Read as a classic for Harper Lee - Tom Brown's Schooldays
