Just wanting to confirm, here's the quote using the bonus word 'LEAF' -
"An oldfashioned hydrangea and a spike-leafed aloe vera..."

Hoping this works as I'm well into the reading...

That wouldn't work, but on a different page it mentions "Leaf". Here's the quote:

"...Willow had made her an elderberry leaf poultice." Page 138

Hope that helps!

Hey guys, would "Heart of the Wilderness" by Jannette Oke work for #8 "Winter Garments"? or would it work better for #9 "Let it snow?

Also, is it ok to read younger kids chapter books, like the Animal Ark series. They are over 100 pages. I have a lot of those types of books on my book shelf, and I thought "Bunnies in the Basket" might work for the Bonus Point.

[Kenzie]

Oh, and do we have to do the review? Does it not count towards our point if we don't?

[Kimberly]

I'm going to read The Cat Who Talked Turkey for #4, for next round if that is ok?
I love her books

[R.A.]

I finished :) I posted the submission in the review thread! :)

We'll have to see when the next round comes along!! :)

[Kimberly]

I'll start mine next Friday and then I will take my time.

[Kenzie]

Would work for #10 "Playing in the snow"? The teacher in the book gets a concussion after being hit by an ice packed snowball, during a snowball fight.

Also, can I do as the BP? The horse is wearing a mistletoe on the ribbon around his neck.

It's good, I'm on page 36, but I hope to get more reading done this weekend. :) Thanks for the offer, I'll definitely ask you if my reading doesn't go as planned!!! :p

Thank you Rosalyn, only you need to add a quote from the book with "BASKET" or "CORNUCOPIA" in it and the page number in order..."

Oh yes, of course!! :)

[R.A.]

Yipppeee!!! :D

[R.A.]

Yikes it's just me now! :D I'd better go see what I should read! ;)

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Round two's bonus point task is read a book with a WREATH on the cover, not mistletoe...

[R.A.]

Does work for task #8?

Turned in my review for the Cat Who Talked Turkey.

[Kimberly]

[R.A.]

[R.A.]

Also, I wanted to mention that the PDF version of the book I received from the author had 117 pages in it - although the book on Goodreads has 106 pages. :)

*Read by: Kenzie

*Link to review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Kenzie]

Can I do for round #3, instead of "Colt on Christmas eve"?
The kids in the book go to "Snow Hill School". I would read it for task #9. Its a sequal to "Because of Mr. Terupt" and I prefer reading it to the colt one.

[R.A.]

Would work for #24?

[Kimberly]

I would like to read the following books, if possible
RND 4 Eaves of Destruction - task 24 - majority of cover is green and it starts with one of the letters in poinsettia

RND 5 Amish Knit Lit Circle: Smicksburg Tales 3
Task 19 a gathering of people at Christmas BONUS - they knit

RND 6 A Miser, A Manger, A Miracle - Task 21 - The title definitely starts with M - but no bonus

RND 7 Colors of Christmas: Two Contemporary Stories -
Celebrate the Hope of Christmas task 16 - Ornament on the cover

If someone else can get the bonus on #21 I could read A Miser, A Manger, A Miracle for task 22 - the Nativity Scene is on the cover - Let me know

[R.A.]

Monique wrote: "R.A. wrote: "Would work for #24?"

This book doesn't seem to fit task #24 well, it does however work for task #33.

#33. 2018 Winter Olympics
How it works: ..."

Okay, thanks!! I'll do this book for that task then. :)

[Kimberly]

Monique, that sounds good. I'll see what else I can fill in with

[Kimberly]

RND 5 Christmas on the Coast There are 211 pages for the Happy New Year task #30

RND 6 Task 33 - there are 254 pages needed to have a page count with two of these numbers 9-2-5

Then RND 7 - - task 15 - Christmas Tree on the cover

Luckily I am one that can read Christmas books year round! :)

Okay! :) I don't have any of these books to read...

[Kimberly]

I decided to change my ROUND 2 book to TASK 24 - It works because Amish is one of the letters in Poinsettia
This is also on my list to read, it fits the category and I can read it before the other one.

[Kimberly]

sorry, RND 4

[R.A.]

Will work for one of the tasks for Round 3?

[Kenzie]

I have a little problem, I was going to do the book for round #3, but I got it from the library and someone requested it. So its due on the 14, which gives me literally 1 day to read it. I'm going to try my best to read it tomorrow, but if I don't get to it, am I allowed to change it?
