A Trip Down Memory Lane - 1968 (Apr-June 2018)

WOOHOO Claire!!

[Andrea]

JoAnne, would you count the arched window above the doorway on this cover as an arch for #6 BIG in title or arch on cover? If not, it's okay. I have a longer book you've already approved. I was at the library today and thought I'd check the junior section for something shorter that might work, since I'm down to the last two weeks of the challenge.

It's perfect!!

Working on my last book this week. Hoping to get it finished in time! :) Will there be a new Trip challenge for next quarter?

[Hannah]

I have two left to read. 😖

[Andrea]

Goodness, Hannah. We've got our work cut out for us, don't we? :D

[Hannah]

I don't know what to read for astronaut. :(

[Andrea]

Yes, will be posted soon!

[JoAnne]

You only have to read 11-15 for the top level.

If you need more time to finish that's ok too!

[Andrea]

Thanks, JoAnne. No rush on that next challenge. I'm happy you satisfied my curiosity. :)

I might take you up on that extension if it takes longer than I expect to finish Hidden Figures. It's detail dense, which is fascinating yet exhausting at times.
