It's all yours Jillian.....(corrected)!

I'll take snowman.

It's all yours Jackie!

Thanks!

I can take #3 Wreath:

Jan you mixed me up with Rosa : )

Oops!!! Sorry about that. Looks like I need more coffee!!

Got you down for wreath Connie!!

Will this work for triangle?

Jan me too! I usually just have one cup but today I need a second cup.

I'll take Poinsettia

It's getting closer! If the edges had come down to the corners I would take it but I don't see a true triangle yet.

:(

Poinsettia is all your Bev!

I think I can take the basket?

Looks like a basket to me Rosa!!

My next book actually has several things from the list on the cover but I'm going with the sign.

Finished #5, the basket

Thank you Rosa!!

I finished 12. With

I claim 4. Triangle (any item shaped like one) with Number the Stars/Lois Lowry

Great Jillian!! We are going to have this list wrapped up quickly!

Would this count for #8 a handbag or purse?

Yes it would Kathryn! I will assign it to you :)

Thanks, Jan!

Jan - I have been listening the last few hours to My Name Is Mary Sutter and I am bored to tears. Could you please remove me from handbag or purse. I had this book on my TBR for so long, so I am really disappointed. Thanks!

Sure thing Kathryn! Sorry it ended up being a dud :)

I'm disappointed too, as I loved that book :) But, as my mom is fond of saying, if we all liked the same things, the world would be a pretty boring place!

Death of a Dapper Snowman

snowman

Finished reading on 12/4/2017. I will continue the series.

Thanks Jackie! Though now I have another kindle unlimted series for me to check out.

Jan, I know. I almost dread reading reviews and adding MORE books to my impossible tbr.

It sure would be boring. Guess that's why, there are so many books coming out all the time, we all like and dislike different things. And we can except that we will not always agree on books.

I wish everyone felt that way. I can't believe the readers I know who get personally offended if I don't love a book that they recommended :(

If it's okay to claim an item after reading the book, I just finished today and there's a handbag on the cover. I didn't say anything before I started the book since Kathryn had a book ready.

Thanks Marina! But to be consistent I had told someone else they couldn't claim an item on a book they had already completed. So let's keep the handbag open. I appreciate you checking though :)

That's okay, Jan! I'll be on the look out for another purse or handbag :-)

I'm just about to start (my bookclub read). I'll take bird for the little penguin!

That works Margo...thank you!

I finished 4. Triangle Number the Stars/Lois Lowry. I don't think I have any new matches.

Appreciate the update Jillian :)

do street lamps count as "lamp"?

I'm going to say no. Denise...I see the light from the lamps but can't really see the actual lamps very well.

I finished The Surgeon of Crowthorne: a tale of murder, madness & the love of words. I didn't realky like it - it was hard work! More like a series of inter connected lectures than a book.

I finished #3 - Wreath:

Small Town Christmas by Jill Shalvis - 12/10/17 ♥♥♥♥

Thank you both for your update! Sorry you didn't like your book Margo!

Jan wrote: "Thank you both for your update! Sorry you didn't like your book Margo!"

I very much doubt whether many of my book club will have liked it either Jan!

Jan, I have a problem :D

I COULD read Ghost of a Chance by Cate Dean for "lamp" but the only cover available on GR doesn't show the lamp.

My edition is the current amazon one and it's a different cover with a lamp on it.. not sure what to do, here's the amazon link

I'll take it since I can see the cover on Amazon. Thanks for providing the link Rosa!
