Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Spring is springing, and that makes us all want to clean out our closets. But out with the old, and in with the new!

This read-a-thon, we are doing a closet refresh!

You, along with your team, will be building a closet from scratch. Maybe you like really casual clothes. Maybe you want an avant-garde look for every occasion. The choice is yours!

WHEN: The read-a-thon will run from when you wake up on Saturday, April 8th and end when you go to sleep on Sunday, April 16th.

oooh I love this and the undergarments extra points! You are all so creative.

I don't know if this has been addressed elsewhere, do we allow things like poetry anthologies or plays?

Poetry must be at least 200 pages long, but anthologies and plays are allowed at 100 pages!

Does anyone have any recs for BUSINESS | Fancy Socks: A book with a pattern on the cover?

Scrolling my list isn't bring up much and my google searching is giving me mostly patterns to make my own fabric book covers ;p

I found these

I don't think you need to be too strict in your interpretation of pattern. anything with some repetition could count.

Great! Thanks Emily, that helps a lot.
