[Amber’s Bookish Journal]

Does this cover count for 1.1 Kite Flying Day (2/8)
Read a book with something flying on the cover: like a bird, plane, person, kite, etc...

[Diana S]

Sorry Amberley, it needs to be flying in the sky there is still one foot on the ground.
But this book would work in task 5.1 or task 1.5

Thanks Diana!

Hi Everyone,
If you haven't notice yet, all the tasks are up. Many Thanks to Tessa, and Bethany for the great tasks they came up with this month. :)

Two items to notice:
1. Pick A Genre (1.2)
make sure the book that you select for this task has African or African American listed on its MPG (main page genre); not all books by African/African American authors are listed that way.

2. Reading Rainbow (1.3)
This month your book color that you select is at less 50% not the usual 75%.

OK, I'll pick July so read a book with red, white, or blue on the cover.

By the way, Diana, can you post a link with that site that takes an image and separates it into the %ages of color. I can't find it anymore. Thanks!
