This is a 2 book task. Choose 2 different options and read 1 book for each option.

For this task, I read Chocolate Bunny Betrayal by Tonya Kappes from her Holiday Cozy Mystery series.

Option 2:
Choose a task that you completed in the Summer or Fall 2025 Season. Read a book that satisfies one of the options you did not choose previously. Required State the previous task completed options and new chosen option.
In Summer 2025, I read Rosemary: The Hidden Kennedy Daughter by Kate Clifford Larson to meet the requirements of 20.2.1 - Read a book by a single author where all the author's initials can be found in BOOK CLUB.

For this task, I'm using 20.2.2 -Read a book with a word of at least four letters in the title/subtitle spelled from the phrase BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS.

Behind is found BIHD in birthday, EN in Celebrations.

Check your totals, as of 625, I show 55 points, you have 45 points as your total. It looks like we agreed on your previous post (503) with 40 points, but then you only gave yourself 5 for a 15 point task. No need to do anything, post-wise, just let me know if we still disagree after you check your math.
