20.8 – It’s My Birthday! – Shelby’s Task: FUN or FANTASTIC it’s got to be one and preferable both!
Choose ONE option below to dive into.

1. ODD NUMBERS – Read a book whose page numbers have at least 2 of the numbers from my birthdate or age (1,2,3,7,8,9)
-->But.....there’s a catch, the page count must end with an odd number (1,3,5,7,9).
-->Duplicate numbers may only be used if they appear twice in my birthdate/age (i.e. 1, 3, 7)
-->The final odd number does not have to be one of the ones in my numbers as long as the other two numbers in the page count are from the list. (aka you could read a book that’s 325pgs, but not 352pgs).

Until Proven Guilty by J.A. Jance - I read the LP edition from my library, it had 359p.

J.A. Jance is a GR author.
