THIS THREAD IS JUST FOR POSTING READ BOOKS

✿ Team Thread: Burning Firebirds
✿ Official Firebird Spreadsheet
✿ Planning Firebird Spreadsheet

When posting on our BOOKS READ thread, make sure to have this information in your post:
⚡ the book:
⚡ page numbers:
⚡ date read:
⚡ task it works for:
⚡ primary location of book (for location map):
⚡ if it can count for any mini challenges:

Hello Firebirds! I thought it'd be fun to track all the places we go while reading during W.O.B.B.L.E. and then when it's over see how many different places we've been.

I created a Google Map for it: HERE

So I'd need to know:

1. Where your book took place (if more than one location, let me know the one where the characters were the most). You can either message me with the locations or leave a comment here, I'll need book title, location, and rating, and I'll add your books/locations to the map. :)

2. Do you have a color preference for your marker/peg on the map? Here are the colors they could be: Bright Yellow, Medium Green, Dark Green (Megan), Cyan, Bright Blue, Dark Blue, Purple, Dark Red, Bright Red, Vivid Orange (Rachel), Orange, Brown, White, Black, Grey, Pink, and Lavender.

Feel free to add books you've read since the start of W.O.B.B.L.E and if it's easier, when posting a finished book you can add the location and rating.
