BEKKA - 50.1 - Pamela Su's task: Variety is the Spice of Life1. Option A: For this task, I read “
” by Annabel Pitcher, since it has “romance” listed as one of its genres on its main Goodreads Page. 4. Option B: For this task, I read “
” by Graeme Simsion, since it has a almost entirely red cover. 6. For this task, I read “
” by Gabrielle Zevin, since its about a bookseller who is a literary genius and who refers to himself throughout the book as a “nerd.” I read this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy. Also, Gabrielle Zevin is a Goodreads Author, so I’m claiming a ticket for that.

Fortunately, Sandi, I saw this post before logging in this set of posts, so you dodged the bullet!
For future reference, when you quickly realize there's been a mistake in a post, fixing it right away in a new post is a great idea. It also would be helpful if you edited your original post, adding a note at the beginning tipping me off to this - something like "mistake in task XX, corrected in post X." That way, as long as I haven't already logged in your original post, I can just skip over that task and wait until I get to the repost.
