50.1 - Diane's Task: On the MendOption 2. Armchair Travel
I read Mrs. Pollifax and the Hong Kong Buddha. This book was from your Post #4. it was 224 pp
Option 3. Variations in Theme.
Read a book with a title that describes your summer or current state of affairs. The title can range anywhere from a one-word title to a complete sentence. REQUIRED: Briefly explain how this title applies to you.
I read House of Spies, which is what I feel like this summer, trying to convince people to do things (the kids, that is) by seeing what they are trying to do in secret and gently guiding them into what I want them to be doing. This books is a ******BIG BOOK**** at 528 pages.
Option 6: Physical Therapy
After surgery, I thought the pain would soon become a thing of the past, as with other surgeries I had in the past. Wrong! A “perk” of orthopedic surgery is aggressive physical therapy. It is extremely helpful and often extremely painful.
Read a book by an author whose first and last initials can be found in PHYSICAL THERAPY. Middle name initials may be ignored. Letters may only be used as often as they appear. Spaces determine names. One qualifying author in a work by multiple contributors works.
I read Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Jazz Chickens, by Eddie Izzard, whose initials are found in the words Physical Therapy ("E" and "I") This book had 348 pp.
214 _+528 + 348 = 1,090 which is more than 801 pp
Points: 310
tasks completed: 19
books read: 25
Big Books: 4
pages read: 8813
