No, I don't think so - although thanks for trying!!!!! It is def. forbidden love, but it wasn't published in the 1970s or set in the 1970s. It is just a 'bonus' read for the season! ;)

Something I've Been Meaning to Tell You: 13 Stories by Alice Munro
#202 on this list /list/show/8...
with tag "Canada"


task=15
NaN=5
task total=20
Grand Total= 975

And now for some confusion..... in post 315 I recorded O Pioneers! as 15.2...but then in post 494 I switched it to task 20.2.
Now I wish to switch it back to Listopia...and it would be 15.10 at this point.... I think I lose 15 points by doing this...10 for switching back to Listopia...and 5 because my post 619 no longer qualifies as a multiple.

So...with my new Grand Total at 960
I'll add the bonuses:
Listopia finish=100
Mega Finish=200
new Grand Total= 1260

I hope I did that all correctly and hope you pardon my mess.
