[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa), Bibliotherapist]

Hey everyone! I forgot this little detail for this challenge — while *ideally* you would build the fire first, I understand that books for other prompts/food items might be completed first, therefore tasks in this challenge *do not* have to be finished in order!

However, if you want to consider the challenge complete, please at least read the fire tasks at some point, otherwise you’re missing the spirit of the challenge.
