Well, there's a good chance some of you are still finishing off the book that was more than 500 pages (after all, you've got assignments to work on and stuff to do - you can't sit around reading all day!).
You'll be pleased to know that this week's challenge is considerably smaller:
17. A book you can finish in a day
It can be a long book that's a light read, or a short book packed with stuff.
Now, I am (of course) going to suggest that you might want to raid the Curriculum Collection for this challenge. It has many wonderful books that can be read in a day.
However, we've got some real gems in the Main Collection. For example, Your Book of Corn Dollies* is only 48 pages long. It's neighbour in the "weaving unaltered vegetable fibres" section of our library (746.41)** is Kete Making (traditional Maori woven bags), and it's only 32 pages long.
You could easily read those in a day. And then maybe try your hand at making traditional British or Maori straw-crafts. Bring in the earrings - we'd love to see them.
Have you missed out on hearing about the 52 Book Challenge? Catch up here.
*Not our only book on making Corn Dollies.
**Not actually the name of a section of our library.
P.S. We have quite a number of fascinating books about art and traditional crafts up in the 700s - you should come up and see them some time.
