It wasn't random, if you please!!! I was combing through the shelf-pages very diligently. And I don't speak Spanish, but THAT WORD SPOKE TO ME. 😉 And somehow I knew that someone would tag it "trees"

Of course I checked it in google-translate


message 1521: by Jackie (last edited Aug 20, 2020 07:31AM) (new)

Jackie | 2143 comments I'm currently reading one that has Ireland for tag and I'll finish it before the deadline. Do we need more tags? If so, I may change my last book (that I haven't started yet) to one that has a tag.

Wow, that truly is a lot of dedication! I'm impressed, I couldn't make myself click through 20 pages of tagged by 1 person 😂

Though I did go through every single page of all our tag versions and marked every book I spotted we had planned anyway 😂 found two so it was definitely worth it!
