Welcome, Rosa! Any books you've already read this year that fit the categories can be counted.

[Megan]

Just finished my selection for #21 Animal/Insect - The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. I am incredibly impressed with this book! The story is well-written, crafted beautifully, and contains complex characters. There is a very smart thread of suspense written throughout the story. Overall, it is a story of love and forgiveness and the will to survive unbroken. Definitely worth reading! 5 stars

How did you like the book Marina? This has been on my TBR for a long time!

[[deleted user]]

Thats great! Two of my books this year fit in...

And I have a question, too - I have a book that would fit in two categories - foxglove summer - if I put it in with seasons, and after that I read another book that would go with season, would I be able to re-shelf the first book to 'things that grow' or should I better wait untill I know exactly where I want to put it in?

This was actually my second time reading it (the first one in an Italian translation, now in English). It's one of my favourite books ever, so I'd say go ahead and read it whenever you have the time to do so, it's definitely worth it!
