50.1 - Maya's Task : We've Been Here Before...Or Have We?
900 Pages: 446 + 333 = (779) + 352 = 1131
BOOK ONE : Sometimes, It's Easy
A) Sometimes, you might wish really hard that something can be found during the scavenger hunt - for example, a rock that's shiny - and then find so many of them that it's hard to choose just one!
READ A BOOK that fits any other task or task option from the Fall 2016 Season:
20.2 - Rookie at the Top - Kim A's Task: The Pumpkin Capital of the World
1. Read a book that was first published 50 or more years ago (1966 inclusive): 1916
Greenmantle by John Buchan, 352 pages
BOOK TWO : Sometimes, It's Hard
A) When you're going on a scavenger hunt, the main thing to remember is that sometimes you overlook something obvious in a place you've already been. Maybe you should look harder?
READ A BOOK from a series that you have read a book from this season already and successfully claimed for a Fall 2016 task. The book must be identified as part of a series in the Goodreads metadata.
Required: You must link to the post #* that you claimed that book in when you submit this task. *how-to instructions in post 4.
I read and claimed Lying Season earlier in the challenge:
Post
On Demon Wings by Karina Halle, 446 pages
BOOK THREE : Sometimes, It Gets Done
B) There's just no way that you'll be able to finish that list. Who can seriously expect you to be able to do ALL of those things and still be able to sleep?
READ A BOOK that you've tried to read before but did not finish. This must be a book that you have seriously attempted to finish not just a false start.
I don't remember why I set this one aside, but I know I was intending to finish it and I was at least 3 stories into the book because I remembered a bit about some of the early stories.

In one embarrassing incident I said to a salesman in a washing machine shop "Is water metered here?". He said he didn't know and went to see if he worked in different department. When he came back he said there was nobody called Walter Metered working in the shop! This book is 335 pages long.
