25.5 - Brooke TX's Task: Here Comes the Bride!

This spring I've been a little distracted from the SRC - my baby sister is getting married next month, and things are getting a little crazy. On that note, I've decided to share the wedding madness with all of you!

This is a two book task. Pick ONE of the options below and read Book 1 and Book 2 from that option.

Required: Indicate the option.

Option A: Old & New
Book 1: My sister has decided that "old" refers to anything older than she is (for example, me). For this option read a book FIRST published before 1992 (the year she was born).
AND
Book 2: For something new, read a book FIRST published in 2017.

Option B: Borrowed & Blue
Book 1: For something that "borrows" its plot, read a book with "Retellings" as a main page genre.
AND
Book 2: For something blue, read a book from this list: Books With The Blues
Required: State the page where your book is found.

Mod note:
No, sorry, from the rules "...books consisting primarily of images or photographs without a substantial written component (essays, criticism, etc.) may not be be claimed for points."

This book does not have the substantial written component required for SRC tasks.
