20.8. Nickels and Dimes - Fandury's task: Happy Anniversary! -
Option D: OUR ANNIVERSARY

We are now married for 12 years and I do not regret a single day. To celebrate 12 years of "happily married" read a book with exactly 12 letters in the author's* name. All parts of the name as they appear on goodreads count, including middle names and initials, but no punctuations (like hyphens or points after initals). If a book has more than one author, all have to fullfil the requirements of this option.


Pawing Through the Past by Rita Mae Brown (12 letters total)

20.3. Best Review Contest - Catie's Task: Moving House
I chose option 3, and read Unstuff Your Life!: Kick the Clutter Habit and Completely Organize Your Life for Good, a nonfiction book about "decluttering."

25.5 - Sirena's Task: All About My Dad!
I chose option 2, the 1 book option, and read
Long Walk to Freedom.

The book fits criterion A - it was made into the 2013 movie, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. I've never seen it, but it's definitely on my list now. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/mande...

It also fits criterion E - a nonfiction book, with "politics" as the 5th genre listed (149 users).

Finally, it is 656 pages long, so meets the required minimum of 580 pages.

30.2. Ms Anderson's Task: My Own Words

For my first book, I chose option 3, and read The Finisher. Main page genre Childrens>Middle Grades - 14 users, and confirmed in Help Thread message 43.
ARBookfinder info: IL: MG+ - BL: 5.2 - AR Pts: 20.0

For my second book, I chose option 4, and read The Confessor by Daniel Silva. Author's name is Daniel, matching one of the listed names.

Optional review: This is book 8 of the Ranger Apprentice series which follows several preteens in a medieval society from the time they are chosen to apprentice with a local Master whatever up to this book where each has achieved success in their apprenticed field and are now starting to train others. I strongly recommend reading them in order; they are fun escapism and each ends in a cliffhanger.
