10.10 - Take a Chance
The random number generator gave me an 8, so I read The Post-American World, #8 on my list of 20 books that I really wanted to read.

25.5 - Oma1229/JenneRenee's task: Spring Reading Haiku
For my first book, I chose option 2, and read The School of Night. Both mystery and fantasy are listed as genres.

For my second book, I chose option 4, and read A Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro. The letters K and I both appear in "haiku."

30.7 - Nick KY’s task: Back to Australia
For my first book, I used option 2 and read The Dreaming Place by Charles de Lint. 134 pages, so between 100 and 200.

For my second book, I used option 4. When I put Charles de Lint into the lit map, one of the female authors listed was Emma Bull, so I read Finder by Ms. Bull.
