25.16 - Morgan (faeriesfolly)'s task: Don't say I never got you anything!Please chose TWO different options and read a book for each.
Required: State which options you chose when you post.
In the interest of decluttering (both house and brain) and adjusting to my new nocturnal schedule, I'm not going to focus on finishing the Winter season of SRC. But I want to assist others who might have the same precarious piles of their own sitting around!
For this task you will read TWO books, ONE book from each category.
BOTH authors should be NEW TO YOU. Because this whole night thing is going to be new to me!
::BOOK ONE::
Read a a book that you got for free (library, netgalley, borrowed from a friend, received as a gift, $0 on Kindle/Nook/etc.) where the AUTHOR is new to you.
I borrowed Astrid and Veronika from a friend. The author Linda Olsson is new to me.
::BOOK TWO::
Read a second book that you got for free, but in a DIFFERENT way than book one. Remember the author still has to be new to you.
I borrowed Pretty Girls from the library. The author Karin Slaughter is new to me.
