Aiswrya | 1213 comments Round 4 Theme - Read a book with at least two P's in the title
The P's need not be consecutive, they have to be in the title. P's in series' name, author name or any other text on the cover will not qualify

The Drowsy Bookworm (drowsybookworm) I'm such a ding dong. I noted the new theme, then started looking at my shelves and my mind switched to thinking that I just needed to find books with double letters. made a list, then realized none of the double letters were P's. ha! back to the drawing board lol
