Okay, you have me convinced: deer are very sultry! :-)
This image alone should make you the winner!
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
Can there be MORE than two P's in the title? Or does it have to be exactly two?ETA: I'll move this to the Q&A thread as well.
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
Crud. 3 EST not PST..... for final noun. I can't get it together for this game lately.Had the 6pm in my mind...which was for the next theme announcement. oh well.

I had to doublecheck the announcement/cut off dates again today too...for some reason was thinking the next theme would be announced Sunday night.
