Did everything work out with the mouse? We had a bunch on our patio, my dog was obsessed! Luckily they didn't make it into the house (knock on wood).
Whew! Just home after a very long day 🤪 Starting my book now…

Luckily they didn't make it into the house (knock on wood)."Uncertain at this time - it was on the counter when I went into the kitchen, but then it freaked out and went into the toaster. I covered it in foil and took it outside, but it either got away when I turned around to get something to cover the toaster or it was scared and hiding. We knew there was one in the house, but hadn't caught it in the numerous traps my husband put out. So lots of sanitizing has been going on here and more still to come!

Books selected for this task need to be MPG Historical Romance. 'Historical' and 'Romance' do not need to be combined and can be combined with other words like 'MM Romance', but both must be MPG.
2 for me, historical is one of my faves.
I'd rather not do 2 this time - I am the opposite, historical is not my gig.That said, I can always do 2 if need-be.
