Marnie (marnie19) | 3259 comments Wow Poongothai- you are racing through these lists! Congratulations on completing the first three sections.


message 10: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59884 comments How are the following two books from your Mickey Mouse connected?


11. Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas Feb 4, 308 pg
Lola Carlyle Reveals All by Rachel Gibson Feb 6, 384 pg
Last letter of previous author is L. First letter of current author and book is L
Total : 692 pages


The author from book 10 Dahl, connects to Lisa in the manner that you have indicated, but Kleypas doesn't connect to Rachel in the same way.


message 11: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59884 comments I also need you to clarify the connections in the following:


20. Tall Tales and Wedding Veils Mar 4, 378 pg
What the Librarian Did Mar 5, 249 pg
Four word titles
Total : 627 pg


Tall Tales is a 5 word title, which connects to the book preceding it. But What the Librarian did is 4.

You need a connection between the two that doesn't have a domino effect on the remaining books.
