20.8 - It's My Birthday! - Rhonda's Task: On This Day in History!
My birthday is April 25, 1964. As it will be my 50th, I feel old enough to be historical. Choose one of the options below and read ONE book for this task.

Your book must be at least 225 pages.

A. On April 25, 1507 - Geographer Martin Waldseemuller 1st used the name America. Read a book by an author whose initials (first and last - middle initials should be ignored), can be found in any order in AMERICA or whose initials are M.W (in that order). The letters in AMERICA may only be used as many times as they appear (i.e., only A can be used twice).

B. On April 25, 1886 - Sigmund Freud opens practice at Rathausstrasse 7, Vienna - Read a book with "mental illness" or "mental health" as a genre listed on the main page.
Examples:

C. Read a book first published in the 1960s.

NOTE: ebooks without print versions cannot be used for tasks requiring a specific number of pages. If you read an ebook or listen to an audiobook, use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardcover edition.

REQUIRED: State in your post which option you chose.
