Hi Staci, I checked the spreadsheet. You have the spice king up for task 4, but it is actually task 3 and I see Melanie has that category.


Can also work for small or large straight or 4 of a kind - historical fiction?

Also Yahtzee - Read a book that has an average rating of 4 stars or higher on Goodreads
