I am reading The Yellow Houseabout New Orleans. If you want to use Rich People Problems for #8, we can use The Yellow House for A40.
Disregard, I see you are reading something already. Missed that at first glance :)
I'm reading The Unsinkable Greta James which involves a cruise to Alaska. Do you think that could work for the "connects some way to life in the big city"? The main character is also an indie rock star.I'll see if there are other, more obvious ways it could work as I read.
Just finished Loyalty. It was pretty good, not sure if I'll continue the series, though. Added to spreadsheet.
Next I plan to read
. It could fulfill A40 since it's about a petty thief living in Los Angeles. I should be able to finish it by Sunday.
I could read
for March Green 6, title Splintered. Does this cover have enough green?
Jennifer wrote: "I could read for March Green 6, title Splintered. Does this cover have enough green?"Yes. That works!
