25.4 Bamaace’s Mardi Gras

Opt. 1 – book with a yellow cover. I read Transit of Venus: 1631 to the Present by Nick Lomb -- Transit of Venus 1631 to the Present by Nick Lomb . Approved in message 96 of the help thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Opt. 4 – My choice. I read The Transit of Venus by Shirley Hazzard.

Yes, two books with the same title. Originally I was going to use the Shirley Hazzard for my own task, 30.7, since she is Australian. Then I found that my library had two books with her title – When I saw that they both worked for bamaace’s task, such a coincidence was too good to pass up.
