Winter Challenge 2012-2013: Completed Tasks - DO NOT DELETE ANY POSTS IN THIS TOPIC
BEKKA - 25.14 - Kate S's Task - New Year, New Authors!To complete this task, I first went to Alan Bradley’s Goodreads author page. He’s one of my favorite authors, and I LOVED LOVED LOVED the new Flavia de Luce novel!
Under the “similar authors” link, Jacqueline Winspear was listed, so I chose to read “Maisie Dobbs”
for my first book. Another author on the page was Charles Todd. I chose to read “A Test of Wills”
for my second book. Also, Charles Todd is a Goodreads Author, so I’m claiming a ticket for him.
Here’s the summary:
