Hi Kelly, I did play last month and had a good time! I'm excited to play with you. I'm glad you number also. I found that I couldn't remember how many I read and had to keep going back to count.

I've been in a reading frenzy today because of other team challenges I'm playing but I'll slow down tomorrow I'm sure. I kept getting confused, too. :)

That series sounds good! I'm adding it to my books. The library even has it on audio.
It's one of my favorite series. I decided to re-read it this year because the first time around I didn't get to read it all in order.
I'm really into Cozy mysteries right now but I need a genre or gimmick or whatever. Animals are one that work for me, although I've never read one with birds before. It sounds funny, though, and I like that.
I really like how the MC has a HUGE family that have lots of crazy personalities. It makes for a great cast of characters.

Me either. But I saw that all the letters in OUT were used already and F hadn't so I went with FAKE. If nothing else, it might help us with location of the letters that are present in the word.
Okay, I'm using my first free guess. We used almost every letter and all that's left are really unusual ones, the ones that are high points in Scrabble. So here goes nothing:Pizzazz

You have similar interested in books!I only thought of it because the only letters we had left were like Z, Q, V, and J. I knew it started with Pi and had an A. So I started plugging things in and it just popped out at me. I think it was supposed to be really tricky (thanks Donna) but we had so many letters we eliminated, it wasn't so much.
