Hi! Sorry to bother but I just have a question. I'm on step 10 at the moment, to read a book with a character that's a teacher. I'm reading The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan and am just wondering if it fits the challenge ok?
One of the characters is called Coach Hedge, he's a coach and demigod protector who has worked within the school. Would this count as being a teacher please?

was a fun one.

I loved ...the MC was a photojournalist, so I think that would work. This one is a Christian book, FYI.

[Niki]

So I need to read a book that is between 150-200 pages and for some reason this is proving to be a huge challenge to find something! Can someone give me some ideas of what to read please? =)

Thanks

Do you have a Want To Read shelf?
You can go to that page and at the bottom change the second box to "Num Pages". It will list the pages for the books you have on that list.

Maybe you can find one.

[Andrea]

Niki, I think Cara Putman's Buckeye Promises or Cornhusker Dreams series would work. Each book is around 170 pages, I think (but please double-check me). Here they are in order:

Buckeye Promises


Cornhusker Dreams

I actually had a book I had already bought that fit this category!!! I’m reading Bruja Born

[Hannah]

My next one is hard. Religious symbol on cover. I have a book picked out, but I keep having to pass by it to get to other books I need for end of year. And of course that’s not one of those you find on every cover out there! Guess this one may just wait until January.

you could get lucky with a book set around christmas!

[Andrea]

True! Hannah, do you have a nativity, star, or manger book? Or something similar could work.

[Andrea]

My next one will finally fit into my reading schedule this week! Author whose initials are W.C. or C.W. I found a Cindy Woodsmall audio book at my library!
