Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments Re Go Tell It on the Mountain. I've had it on my TBR list since 2014. I recognized the title and had to go look at my task list to see what I had for the Geography task for Card 5. Unfortunately, I got the Nay task which means that I have to read a book set in Italy or written by an Italian author.

Did you like it?
