LibrarianRyan @Chrissyreadit also hit me for this. I‘m thinking. I promise. I‘m it‘s glad to be heading back to the world of cell service and internet right now. 4y

Gissy Those are books published in those months? Sorry, I'm always distracted!😳☺️ 4y

Avanders @Gissy 😜 no worries! No, the goal is to describe 2020 by using book titles in your collection.... so the year started, in my example, with the Bizarro Starter Kit and ended with being the Gone World 😁 (edited) 4y
