GoG landed on community bookshelf, and since her release has not been received yet (damned Bank Holiday post!) she is keeping stum about it for the time being...

Starry skies above Team Moneybag
Bonus Points were really hard to pick, all the releases were brilliant this turn - but I have contemplated, asked just about everyone I know for their opinions (the response was mostly ''book-whating monopoly? what the...?') and finally managed to narrow it down.
Points go to:
 - Team Wolf for sheer stup-illiness*
 - Team Battleship for using dragon breath to send a kite soaring
 - Team Tulip for excellent use of a dressing up box
 - Team Moneybag for poster-making and clever theme ideas
 - Team Top Hat for schizophrenic book-catching....
Scottie Dogs fly away

*stupid-silliness. May not be an actual word...

Team Train challenge you to find their book!
