I realised that I have an anagram combo.
so, reposting from #835

20.3 - Historical
The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever by Julia Quinn

+20 Task
+20 Combo 10.2; 10.3; 10.6 (diaries); 20.1 (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...)
+5 Multiple

Book total = 45

New season total = in region of 790 (I removed the +5 combo from post #383 as advised by Elizabeth in #845. but I may well still be adrift. :/ )

Can I snag historical on Hitler please?

and maybe a view on whether this should be classed as published in 1991 or not. I think not - I'm deliberately reading the single volume which as revised & edited in 2010, but would like it confirmed for your ease later. I AM going to be claiming the massive page count!

moving a book, please! as per above....

was claimed in #800 for 10.1. move to:

10.9 - The Arts
Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah

+10 Task
+10 Non-Western (I assume, sorry if I got that wrong...)
+ 5 Combo 20.6 (Trevor is younger than 18 for the vast majority of the book)

ETA: set in South Africa for the Countries game :)

Total for book = 25

which also means removing 5 points from #829, as no multiple can apply now.
so, my total for season, by the time you get back here should be (I think) 785

oooh! does it? I wasn't sure if Noah was considered an actor...
Should I repost with the additional points?

Or I might actually move it there. Which would let me make use of some of my other books into 10.1...

and another, though no rush :)
