Jennifer (ace_librarian) This is a switching books post.

25.9. Stacie MI's Task: Red Hot

Option A: book with a 2 & 3 =
Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? by Louise Rennison (320 pages)

Option B: 2008 publication = The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I originally claimed The Hunger Games for Task 30.1 as a book written by an author born in 1952. But as I just finished Catching Fire I'd like to substitute that for The Hunger Games, since it's by the same author.

Books for Task 30.1 will now be Catching Fire (author born in 1952) and A Wrinkle in Time (book published in 1952).

Thanks!

Sera Last post for me:

Finished

15.9 - Geek Pride Day

For this task, I read Quiet The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain by Susan Cain. The book takes both a scientific and cultural look at introverts, who face it, are more likely to be classified as the "nerds" in the American extroverted society. Cain also gives advice to parents on how to raise introverted children who don't fall into this category.

30.6 Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction

I chose Option A and read one fiction book We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver by Lionel Shriver and one non-fiction book Columbine by Dave Cullen by Dave Cullen. The connection between these two books is school shootings.

BOTH SUSAN CAIN AND DAVE CULLEN ARE GR AUTHORS

Total Points: 355 + 15 + 30 = 400
GR Authors: 6
BB: 500+ (2); 750+ (2); 1000+ (0) = 6 tickets

Coco Kimura Sorry for the late post! I tried to get another book read to get the 50 point task but it just didn't happen. So instead I'm claiming a 20 point and 15 point task for the two I did read.

20.4 Author!Author!: Skandia's Task - To be continued .... in Spring!

I didn't participate in the Winter challenge. I read The City of Ember which is the first book in a series.

15.5 ...... And XYZ
I read
The Red Lion: The Elixir of Eternal Life by Szepes Mária (Maria Szepes). The letter "z" is in the author's name.
