If not I'll just use the MPG contemporary task

Ora (oeamis) When do we find out what our next word will be? Sorry I haven’t really paid attention. I am debating if I will wait to read a couple of library books since they will work for W and I will be angry with myself if I didn’t wait to finish them until round 4 begins.


message 823: by Maddy (new)

Maddy | 2127 comments Next Friday :)


message 824: by Ora (new)

Ora (oeamis) I was hoping to find out our word earlier I guess I will wait until Friday to start my library books then.

And is this yellow enough?

Book: Paper Butterfly (A Mei Wang Mystery, #2) by Diane Wei Liang
Date: July 17th
I listened to an audiobook. However, the audiobooks listed were not the one I listened to. I couldn't find one from Blackstone Publishing. I looked on my computer not the app so I'm pretty sure it really isn't there. The hardcover which I shelved is the default edition and the cover is the same as what I listened to.

I updated the planning sheet.

I don't know. It's hard to tell. Maybe...
