Keri | 602 comments Do we not need my 1 Yellow anymore? I don’t see it on our remaining color cards…

Also, unfortunately A Curse So Dark and Lonely hasn’t come for me from overdrive and I’m worried I won’t get it in time…can someone else do 1 Blue? I really thought I’d get it faster. I don’t think anything else I’ve read fits. 😢

No worries Deanna! I was just about to start that but I’m not dying to read it, so I’ll pick something else that works for something else and/or in the mini. :-)
