It's been awhile since you've been online. Good to see you post. When reporting, please make sure you indicate the category for each museum.

Your book 1 was Location, book 2 was Collection and book 3 was Location. So when you report, it would look like "Museum 8, Location".

[Janice, Moderator]

BTW, I like your gifs!

Good one, Bash. I’ve had Howl’s Moving Castle on my TBR list since the movie came out. Even worse, I own a copy. I just never get around to reading it. I might have to find me a castle picture. 🤓

Bash, for the interactive tasks you need to link your task to an item from the museum's collection. Can you please add a link to the item and explain the connection?

There's also a task somewhere about dragons. Did you perhaps want to use this book for that task?

With interactive tasks you need to (in addition to the above) post the picture you chose or link to it if you are unable to post pictures, state your task that you assigned yourself, and explain how the picture influenced you to pick your task.

It's pretty obvious that you derived your task from the title of the print and the people in it. Your other interactive items are the same way. Your report should state something to that effect. ie - "This print is entitled Adam and Eve and depicts those characters. Task: Read a book with a character named Adam." I've tracked them without commenting, but in future, if you could give that explanation (even though it's obvious), that would be great.

Thanks
