I have a pretty good idea of what might pop into your head first. Here's another setting for you to associate with a book and characters. Any title this setting would work for? Any particular character(s) you can picture here? No right or wrong answers. You all make this so fun 😎👏🏻! I can't find bibliophiles anywhere else to make life as enjoyable as you all do for me and @BookBabe ☺️👍🏻! #MrBookWantsToKnow
