I could lend you my copy of The Help, but I know you'd rather read shorter/thinner books (which I totally get!!)

I am almost done with House of Names, which will cover a 1 red card.
I also remembered that I have Slade House, which I think will cover one of the yellow cards. I left it at work, so I will check for sure tomorrow.

I just bought
Which should totally work for yellow, red, and green. Or at least a quarter of each. Too bad we can't use fractions. Teehee.

I didn't realize my 7 yellow book was available as an audiobook, so I'll start that now. I can squeeze in an extra book every few days just from driving to work, getting ready in the morning, cleaning, walking the dogs...

That's great! there's no rush, just wanted to give a reminder :)

I started listening to Norse Mythology and I'm so invested already! Does anyone know good books about any mythologies really?

None of the colours are covering 50% of the cover. This won't work for a coloured card

Kirsten - This is the edition I had in my classroom library. It has been there for years, and seemed like it was brand new when I opened it. I wanted to re-read it before I saw the movie. I haven't read it since I was a kid. Unfortunately, re-reading it as an adult took some of the shine from it. That happened with the Narnia books too.

Laura,
This book, and the narnia books are some of my favorite childhood reads, and they are ones that I have reread several times over the years. They still give me joy to this day. They are different, reading with an adult mind and experiences, but the memories of the wonder I felt when I first read them still shines through a bit for me.

I really hope they don't screw up the movie.

I doubt Ö works for 1, but it's okay since there also seems to be a character called Hanck Orn ;)

also just wanna put this out there:



Punctuation is our friend, it doesn't hurt to use commas etc. ;)

(I know most of you use punctuation, but I cringe and want to jump right into my laptop screen every time I see a sentence that makes no sense due to lack of commas or periods.)

The March Mini Challenge has been posted!!!!!

It is called Game Time :)
