Thanks! I thought we had a #3 somewhere.

Melissa | 3779 comments For item on cover we have a book that has a house with a light on. Do we think that would work? Electricity - General Electronics or no? Reaching too much?

I'll keep that in mind! We can use either one so if we need one for the Spell it out I'll use the other for #3. Thanks!

maria helena (mariahel) | 1924 comments I’ve just read The Weekend Getaway if we need more books for letter E (author Ellis)

Roe (roelynn) | 278 comments Are light houses electric? I thought they were gas.


message 1156: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3779 comments Is electricity electronics?

Now that I’m thinking about it I don’t think that would work.

Hmm I could reread one of the In Death series I’m sure one of them has a main plot that involves computers or computer programs or something that would fit.

Roe (roelynn) | 278 comments I Told You This Would Happen by Elaine Murphy has IPOD in the title but my library has it for an "unknown wait" time which ive never seen before so I cant get it yet.

Christina T (crysteena73) | 182 comments GE (General Electronics) makes a lot of things like appliances... maybe a chef that uses an industrial sized oven or refrigeration system?

Google says...
What is GE famous for?
The historical time line of GE's notable innovations, beginning with Edison's work prior to the company's official establishment, and following GE's incorporation in 1892, includes: The incandescent light bulb (1879) The nation's first commercial power station (1882) The giant electric locomotive (1893)

Melissa | 3779 comments Thanks Christina! I'll see if Roe gets hers done and if not we can use the other book we have.

@Trisha - did you finish reading One Big Happy Family? It says it on the spreadsheet but it's still listed as Currently Reading in Goodreads. I can finish the Spell it Out if you are done :)

@Roe - it has to have the word IPOD in the title not just the letters.


message 1165: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3779 comments Oh No team LOL I've been wrong. It's not the full word that needs to the in the title. It's just the letters. SMH

Good news is we have a book that fits that spot!
