50.1 - Maya's Task : We've Been Here Before...Or Have We?Read three books, one from each book set selecting either A or B.
Required: Identify the options when you post.
All three books together must equal at least 900 pages.
BOOK ONE : Sometimes, It's Easy
A) READ A BOOK that fits any other task or task option from the Fall 2016 Season. This CANNOT be a book that fits any "book of choice" task or option, e.g., 5.10, 30.1 option 5, etc.
Required: Identify the task and option used and include any of the task's required elements.
20.6 - Option A. Read a book written by a female author AND that has "Fantasy" as a main page genre.
The Curse of Tenth Grave pb 384 Darynda Jones
BOOK TWO : Sometimes, It's Hard
A) 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.
Shards of Hope (Psy-Changeling #14) mmpb 500 pgs
Claimed: 20.5 - Bigger is Better = Shield of Winter (Psy-Changeling #13)
LINK: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
BOOK THREE : Sometimes, It Gets Done
A) READ THE BOOK that has been on your Goodreads TBR shelf the longest.
Required: Tell us the date you added it to your TBR!
I began adding (print) books to my Goodreads TBR June 3, 2013; that day I input 79 books & the following day another 62. That week we were hit with a flash flood, but luckily no books got wet! This year I had already chosen my oldest TBR book to read (I'd started an online TBR in 2008). I have attempted, over the last year, to get all my books onto my Goodreads TBR (I keep finding more), though in reality, I cannot say which book I have owned the longest.
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff ... and it's all small stuff
I chose this book from the 79 (6/3/13) because I know that I got it around 1999 & it is also a book that I have "not finished"...so it satisfies both A & B.
Total pgs 384+500+248= 1032 pgs
Cumulative Total 710+50 = 760
CYNBAXTERTask # 15.03 – October 28 is Frankenstein Day!
