It's confusing! I work at a 7 day a week museum so while I work M-F, the majority of the staff doesn't so I'm constantly being told someone isn't there cause it's their weekend! I used to have a job that worked Tu-Sa during the summers and I loved being free on Mondays!
I liked working the holiday! And I took last Friday off instead and had a relaxing, quiet beach day!

My downvotes are more meh votes for me, prompts that I have had trouble with before, like a book set in 24 hours, I have had problems finding something I like since I am not a romance reader and most books I found were romance books.
I like the sound of a lot of these. A couple that stood out to me was:
A book set in one of the 25 most beautiful cities in the world (I there are a lot of choices there, and many diferent locations.)
A book involving pirates, maps, or treasure (I read a lot of fantasy, so sometheing should fit, plus I think you could have fun with it and interpret it in many different ways.
I think I will be fine with most winners here. can't wait for the results.
