My Little Bookcase May Edition :: Our List

The Instagram play along hosted by Jackie from My Little Bookcase this month has been a lot of fun for Celeste and I. Every day, we scan our bookshelves for a book to match that day's prompt. 

I wanted to keep a record of the books we have shared so far and share the list with you. Following this mosaic (which isn't in order), you will find a list with the prompts and our choices for each. Sometimes, we just couldn't pick only one. 

At the end of the month, I will updated this list with the last few books.
