ahh, yet another multiple book at the same time reader! For some reason this season I ended up with having read 1 book for each 2 book task. I didn't plan it that way, it was just how they became available from the library mostly. I think for spring I will try reading BOTH books of a task instead of 1 book each.

Reading piecemeal helps me finish boring books. :)
And I like reading one book for every two book task! I try to plan it that way. It's very satisfying towards the end of the game when every book read counts for points. :D
