15.2 - I'm Not Answering My Phone Until December

15.2. I'm Not Answering my Phone until December
In an election year, spring is the time for politics (and constant phone calls)!

Book 1. Read a NONFICTION book with the main page genre politics or government.

AND

Book 2. Since dystopian books are generally about "government gone wrong," read a book with "dystopia" (standalone or embedded) as a main page genre.

Sandy- I am with you on not answering the phone, and irked that they fill my answering machine's entire memory. I am hoping that you're checking this thread, however, since I am changing my dystopian book and need genre verification:

LOL - I do check email! Genre verified, but I note that it appears to be only an ebook, so keep in mind the length verification for ebooks.

There don't appear to be any genres listed on the main page. the task requires a main page genre of dystopia.

genre noted. It appears to only exist in ebook format, so you'll need to deal with that.

It is only like 2 users, I checked earlier and it was gone, but its back again. Hopefully, it stays on long enough to get approved.
