20.6 Seasoned Reader - Susan's Task: I Love To Plan
So here is your chance to pick a one book task from either the Fall or Summer 2013 Challenges, that you did not complete.
From the Summer Challenge, I got the below task approved in its help thread but didn't have the chance to read the book. So, here it is:
15.3 - Left and Right
Option 2- Read ONE book with a left-hand word (option A) AND a right-hand word (option B) in the title or subtitle. Both words must be at least 4 letters long.
I read Please Look After Mom in which the word "LOOK" is right handed and the word "AFTER" is left handed.
