August 2021: The Ultimate Disney Reading Challenge
Challenge Runtime: August 1st - August 31st
Type: Individual


Let’s take a reminiscent tour down the memory lane and relive the magic Disney created for us with its beautiful stories.

Hi Mariem!
I think you got confused between stationery which means "writing and other office materials" and stationary which means "not moving or not intended to be moved"

The prompt mentions stationery so, a book that has paper/pen/pencil/post-it notes or the likes on the cover would work for this prompt.

oh sorry i got them mixed up! i'll delete it and try to find another book for the object!

Sure.
Once you complete all objects, you can use this book to log for any of the subjects, if it fulfills a prompt.

Just realised that i can use it for another prompt too for the same object!
