Welcome to the challenge Lori!

Almost Chris! You don't have a book for Olympics #48 and December Scavenger. You also don't have read dates for Blackout (task Say What), Not Mushroom for Death (first Connections) and The Golden Unicorn (Winter Scavenger).

Congrats, Barb!

Thanks Martha, I'll read them all eventually, but will probably start with Anna Pigeon.

Round 10, Picking for Mary-Megan

I have read two books on your shelf and didn't like them, so these are random picks that jumped out at me. Hope you like whichever ones you choose to read!

Oh gosh, I'm sorry. I had a period in which GR didn't get all my changes to my copy saved. I thought I'd gone back and fixed all of it that needed fixing but apparently, I missed recording your M6 hit. So yes, you did sink a ship! I'm sorry! I think I'm going to redo everything again just in case I've missed more posts.
