25.4 - Catherine T's Task: International Travels -
This is a two book task. Both books must be new to you - no re-reads.

For book one, read a book by an author* whose initials appear on this list of International Country Codes. If you want to use one of the 3 letter country codes, all 3 letters must fit the author's initials, with middle initial. If you want to use a 2 letter country code, you may ignore the author's middle initial. You must use a book written by a single author for this task.


Death Speaks Softly by Anthea Fraser (AF=Afghanistan, on the continent of ASIA)

For book two, read a book set on the continent that the country code used for book one is part of. We will use this list to determine which continent a country is part of.

For All the Tea in China: How England Stole the World's Favorite Drink and Changed History - set almost entirely in China and India, both in Asia

Both these books are new to me.

10.4 Ten-Four Day
I read A God in Ruins
4155 5* on 10-12

20.2 Picky, picky, picky!
I read The Corset Diaries
It has B, C & D - the primary horse's name is Talisman, and the MC rides him & encourages her new beloved to ride his horse (and let his daughter ride the tamest horse) B & C - it's a screwball romance, genres romance & humor. Review: a bit tedious, tbh.
