This is unique! I'm in!HOUSE:

I'm in for this one!HOUSE - May 31, 2025
I get to live in a gothic mansion.
I have moved into my house on the river where I have access to water (book 1). I am working on forging for food with my basket (book 2). Basket is full of food. And Home is feeling mighty fine. Added a baby quilt as decor (book 3). And now, added a book for my enjoyment (book 4). Welcomed a dog into my house (book 5) and he got cozy on the baby blanket. I shall need to name him.
Looking around, decided time to add a touch of decor. Found a wreath that made me smile for the walls (Book 6). Putting on my Apron to keep from getting clothes messy as work around the house (Book 7).
Decided needed to sit down for a break on my farm style loveseat (Book8). Snuggling my toes against the rug (Book 9] and lit some candles (Book 10).

Great - thank you!
Have my house. The house in this book was such a center point of the story so I feel like it's so perfect for the "foundation" of this challenge!
Andrea can we add everything on a single cover to add to the house with each book read, or can we only use one item per cover? Also, it says objects, so I'm wondering if we can add people to the house.
Mod
Crystal, I'm cool with all of that. Go for it!
Mod
Five books in, and enjoy this. Creating a mini move in general fact story as I add items.

It was an intriguing start to the new series. The folks in Willow Ridge are mentioned in passing, but none of them appeared in the novel.
