I assume for task 15. Drive 20 Miles from Granville to Waitsfield(Read a series #2 or Half Step series...) we can use series #20 as well as with the other two digit miles/series tasks or was it left out on purpose?

A question (once again *grins*)I'm just reading Once Upon a Cowboy by Lacy Williams book 2 in You Don't Have to Be a Star / Once Upon a Cowboy and expect to finsh it later today. Since I'm reading it in a book set it's only 98 pages - though if I read the single book edition (Kindle or paperback) it would be 170 pages. I was wondering if I still can use it despite the missing two pages in my edition? It wouldn't be the first time the book set's total page # is/was way too low and so all the calculated page # for the single books incorrect. (I can really understand if you say no - rules are rules for a reason)

@Jan - I'm not sure if I'll find a book set in Warsaw (Poland's current capital) but could most likely find one set in Cracow (Poland's previous capital) - would that work for you as well?
