Cindie | 1836 comments 25.7 - TrishHartUK's Task: Strawberries and Cream


Option 1: Strawberries and cream are a simple pleasure, so to start simply, read a book by an author whose first and last initials can be found in STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM. I read A House in Fez: Building a Life in the Ancient Heart of Morocco by Suzanna Clarke, whose initials are found in Strawberries and Cream.

Option 2: Strawberries and cream are a great combination. Read a book with two authors either writing under both names (like Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö), or using a single name (like Victoria Abbot, which is a combined pen name for Victoria Maffini and Mary Jane Maffini). REQUIRED: For two authors writing under a single name, please include a link to the GR author page (or some other source) which clarifies this.

I read A Question of Honor by Charles Todd. Charles and Caroline Todd write under the pen name Charles Todd .

Option B 3. Read a book from the first 3 pages of this list: Popular to Reread Books.
# 15 On list:
Animal Farm by George Orwell by George Orwell
This book was a reread for me, though I found some bits in it that I either ignored or interpreted in another way the first time around, so a worthwhile reread.
