I'm heading out this morning, so will check books later.Last Task - Read a book with a naturally occurring body of water on the cover.
June 9, the last day of this round, is Donald Duck’s birthday! And we all know how ducks love water… To help Donal celebrate his 90th birthday, read a book with a naturally occurring and permanent body of water on the cover. Allowable bodies of water would include an ocean, a lake, a pond, a river, a stream or a waterfall. Pools, puddles and ice rinks are not acceptable. No pass for this task.
Remember completion posts with errors or missing elements will not count towards your team total or the completion of this task. The task will be considered ‘completed’ when each team member has completed one book for this task, additional books will count towards a tie breaker if necessary. Help each other out by double checking posts are complete with the first edition Kindle page count!
There is no need to post a team completion in the Q&A thread, I will be checking all team threads at the conclusion of the challenge. 😊
This book looks like the MC is in the ocean but before I start it I wanted a second opinion.
