I had/have two big tests that I had to take this month for my teaching credential. One was on the 16th and the second is on the 29th. So to get out of stressing too much I decided to do a lot of reading to help with stress and anxiety. So I set myself on a studying and reading schedule.

Plus it helped that the mom I nanny for just had her 3rd baby and has not needed me as much since she is home and her mother is helping her with her other two kids.

Kobi has nearly completed all 37 as well ☺

I use to be the same. Reading to deal with anxiety. I averaged a book or two each day as well. ^-^

Yup. Stress. Anxiety. Any problems. To help relax to deal with them I read. I'm always reading. As a kid because of it my mom used to take away my books rather than a time out or taking away my tv or games.

[Heather]

So of course both laptops would stop working 3 days before the end of the month!!

Lol. My mom never took my books away but I got plenty taken by teachers. I was probably one of the few in my school who were almost discouraged to read rather than encouraged. lol

[Tati]

I've got plenty... Would any of these work for soil?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Well done to Kobi for being the first to complete all 37 descriptions!!!

Yes to all except the thousand names. I'm not sure about that one.

[Tati]

Okay, thanks!

Sarah I've temporarily lost my copy of fire study and so I was wondering if I could use this online version I've found instead? I'm half done (my original book) it so I'd really like to be able to.

Sarah, if the character is no longer living in a boarding school by the time the story happens, but she used to live there and is still remembering her time and her friends when she lived there, can it count as boarding school description?

[Jade]

Hi Sarah would this count without writing a review?

Thanks! But I decided to use it for another description while for boarding school description I'm gonna read Last Sacrifice which I abandon since last September, and have to start again because I completely forgot about it.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Good luck ☺

Sarah do the series titles count for JUMANJI (Part 4)?

[Rachel]

Does anyone have any idea where I could put Top Ten Clues You're Clueless by Liz Czukas? I'm struggling! Thanks guys :)

[[deleted user]]

@rachel what about romance

[Berit☀️✨]

Rachel I have not a CLUE what that book is about ;-) LOL!

[Rachel]

haha I loved that use of clue there Berit! :D

I think i've used that description Lindsey but thank you for the help! :)

[Christina]

Use it towards your 800 pages? Save your teammate (Twila)? ;)

[Twila]

I've already been saved! ;D

[Edit~A]

Teammates' initials? Or BR/GBR if there is a BR thread for that

GO TEAM N! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I can't find anything it would count for that you haven't already done Rachel.

what you can do is this -
* switch 'Because You'll Never Meet Me' from 'something that flies' to 'winged things 'BAT'
* switch 'clipped wings' from romance to 'something that flies'
* use 'top ten things' for 'romance'

[Rachel]

Ok thank you Sarah, I'll switch things round tonight when I add my review for it :) thank you for your help!
