⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just as I wanted to download the audiobook from my library, Koli was snatched right out from under me. I put it on hold along with the ebook. Too bad it will not fit under anything in my challenge tasks at this point, but I think I am still going to read it. I have been sourcing books from the library for tasks that I need to finish cards for badge 4, but I am not sure I will get there at this point. Many of them will have to come from other libraries in my library consortium. It seems to take forever for them to arrive at my main library for me to pick them up.
I doubt that I will finish badge 4, but I'm going to try to finish as many as I can.

The author painted that. If I didn't have the Christmas task (I read so few books about Christmas), I could have used it for mythology or painting on the cover.
The author is quite an amazing artist. He does a lot of deviant art:
