Boston UnCon Reverse Scavenger Hunt
Instead of finding and collecting items on the list, the challenge was to release a book in each place. MissMarkey won the hunt with all blanks filled out and 23 out of the 24 themed released. Incredibly impressive! I themed a few of mine, but my main goal was just to release all 24, which I accomplished. All have release photos with them. *=Themed
