5.5 - Scrabble
I read Roosevelt's Beast by Louis Bayard - initials L and B both appear in SCRABBLE.

For task 15.9 Spring Into Action, already posted, I am making a substitution. I am substituting The Widow File: A Thriller, added to my TBR on 12/8/13. My original book, The Robots of Dawn, will be used later.

20.10 - Group Reads
I read The Thirteenth Tale. My comment in the discussion thread is post 24.
