So I was on the website where I get the cards, and I clicked on the wrong button and lost the pictures of my cards. :(

I got an Ace and a King. I'll keep the Ace and it will be a 1.

Phew, you can make it two more days! I am sure they loved having you there.

Well, if I am allowed to use a book I am halfway through, I can use Lion, Witch and Wardrobe for the King card. I am also mostly though Hatchet that could work for a male author as well. If that isn't allowed, then I have a #8 in a series I can read.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Leslie wrote: "Well, if I am allowed to use a book I am halfway through..."

You can use a book you've already started.

I'll keep the Ace, and it'll be an 11.

That was a great round, though I am hoping not to get another King.
I can play another one. How long are the other gonna play?

You don't read many books by male authors?

Leslie wrote: "How long are the other gonna play?"

Only a few teams have a set number. Most are deciding as they go along.

A title that begins with 'A' or 'An' is good.

I am trying to find a "10" I want to read, but I am not finding one I want to read right now. However, we should be finishing Hatcher by Gary Paulsen in the next couple days so I might just use that.
