Thanks!

Hey everyone!!

Super sorry for being so quiet for the last couple of days. Got my booster and the flu shot in one go and they knocked me on my ass. I was so sick with fever, chills, and throwing up. The perfect trifecta to my weekend lol.

I did read a lot though... when I wasn't sleeping or anything. So, let me get some tea or coffee and then I'll start updating. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Here is what we have left for Round 1,

Characters make a snowman
W, R, E, A, T, H in title (any order) - claimed by Saige**
H, O, H, O, H, O in title/series title (any order)
Chimney on cover
4+ people on cover
White cover (75%)
Author initials in MERRY
Author initials in LIGHTS

**(if it's the last category open for Round 1, it will be moved to banked tab until it is finished OR moved to open next round.)**

Alaina, I just finished Piranesi, which can work for white cover. I put it down for round 2, but we could also swap and use yours for round 2 if you're not done yet.
