Jax's TDRC

[Liezel]

I can only handle romance in small doses, so it's probably not for me. I may try reading one of them someday just to satisfy my curiosity since their ratings are quite good.

I've only read one Christie and it was an easy read, so I'm sure that this will be similar.

You did understand that you had to complete one of the two options, right? You didn't have to do both of them. But well done. Nice reading!

[Jax]

LOL - I did, but decided it'd be fun to do both. :)
There was of course the added benefit of discovering a few new authors. ;)

(and seeing as there are a few of the tasks I simply cannot do - it made it feel like I'd made up for it - at least for myself. :) )

[Barbara]

Which task can't you do? And why?
Can we help you somehow?

[Jax]

I guess some are more "won'ts" than "can'ts", but I'll still be happy if I can complete at least 25 Tasks.

Cannot:
Task 33 - is tad difficult when a) you read mostly Fantasy, and b) you've never traveled. (C - you hate have your picture taken) :)

Won't:
Task 17 - GR friends have very similar tastes to mine - which means if they really didn't like it - I probably won't. And I enjoy reading far to much to suffer through something I don't enjoy. :)
Same for Task 22 - unless I count "the girl with the dragon tattoo" - which was literally forced on me by an acquaintance. - though not a GR Friend.

Just marginally more challenging:
Task 10 - My mother doesn't have a particularly common name.
Task 15 - Have yet to find a book with enough ratings. Though Dan Brown's Inferno comes relatively close.
Task 18 - Haven't the foggiest where to even start. ;)

I did the secondhand bookstore, last shelf purchase a while ago - but only just got round to reading it...

It still counts right?

If so then I finally managed
