Vuoden 2017 haasteesta löytyy "10. A book with a cat on the cover", mikä nyt tietenkin on paras mahdollinen kriteeri valita kirja. Muutenhan tämä kohta on sellainen, että varmasti mikä tahansa kirja sopisi johonkin kohtaan.

Tuohon löytyisi minulta varmaan useampiakin vaihtoehtoja, mutta sain Ei saa mennä ulos saunaiholla BC-kirjana ja minun on pitänyt lukea se sen ilmestymisestä lähtien. Onhan sen nimessä myös yli 20 kirjainta ja sopisi varmaan muihinkin kohtiin, mutta tähän sen haluaisin laittaa. Edellyttäen, että pystyn ylipäätään vielä lukemaan hautajaisten suunnittelusta...



Mikä on teidän suosikkikohtanne? (Ja/tai inhokkinne?) Ja voi tietenkin valita myös joka vuodelta omansa, niinkin monet tekevät.
