[Alyana]

I do have a book for mini 6 but it's a nonfiction and it matches with the #3 and #1 card which is the author's name and title "The'.

Does this work? Just making sure before I pick it up.

The Rural Diaries: Love, Livestock, and Big Life Lessons Down on Mischief Farm

For mini #23, I have a short book if no one else claims it.

Maggie, I was going over your Uno shelf and I am seeing a few books we don't have on the SS yet. Could you get completion posts for these books please?

For the Mini you have claimed 2.Read a book with (a) muscular man/men on the cover

Hopefully others can fit these tasks.

Sorry for your loss Däna.

I'll finish my three books on the SS before the end of the month.

If You Lived Here You'd Be Home By Now could easily fit with Mini task B40 as that is what the whole book is about - Read a book that connects some way to life in a small town or village: places, activities, institutions, etc. or what you would like to have at your imaginary settlement.

Or it could fit with 9 as well as my other reads The Lincoln Highway or Interred With Their Bones. Read a book with at least 4 different colours on the cover (percentage does not matter, letters of the title/author count as well)

Insiyah, Maggie, Alyana, Jessica, and Kristen how are your books for the mini coming. I'm reading slowly so that I don't finish any books as it seems like we have more books than we need at this point.

Maggie, I hope you are feeling better. As soon as you are able completion posts would be great for your books that you've finished.

I learned my lesson also this year! I picked up 2 long, difficult books and wound up giving up. I'm still behind my reading goal - but there is still plenty of time to make it up. :)

Would this cover work for Green 8? It's looks kind of a weird yellowish-green but in real life it's definitely more green but I'm not sure if it's enough.
