WEEKLY CHECK-IN
January 22, 2023 -- Week 4


We're starting week four of our 2023 challenge, so let's play a game!

Share the title of your current read using ONLY EMOJIS.
THEN, go through the rest of the comments and see if you can figure out what others are reading. Reply to their comments with your best guesses!

(If your book title is super tricky, you can give a hint!)

Let's see if we can figure out what everyone is reading!

Liz's is: ❄️🦢

My best guess is Surprise in the Mountains by Natalie Savage Carlson, but it’s a children’s book from 1983. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hint: all the emojis need to be interpreted. The second one is more literal than the others, but none comes close to the title

i can't think of an emoji for "usual"

No, it is Mind If I Come In... I had a hard time with it and I couldn't think of a hint either, but that was a good guess.
