[Dottie]

I'm in!!! This looks fun! I pledged 100 books in my challenge, so I am going to try and do this one and the monthly ones and keep them separate. So far I've been doing good, I have read 12 books. There are few on here that will be challenging for sure, but I'm looking forward to it.

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Way to go, Dottie!

[Ashley]

Kristie wrote: "I count my audiobooks too, Kaley! I always do.

Is there any particular genres you like or dislike for recs?

Everyone - There is a task for reading "A book recommended by someone else taking the ..."

For the task read a book with a time of day in it, does the book three act tragedy by Agatha Christie count? Or does it have to be a book with dawn or Sunrise in it?

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Sorry, I must have missed this question last time, Ashley. You can interpret it any way you like. I think they are looking for dawn, evening, morning, noon, etc.

[Bryndís]

I'm choosing one with 'night'. I think that fits nicely and there are a lot of options ;-)

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Good one, Bryndís! That one does have a lot of options. I'll probably go with that too.

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Just came across The Island of Dr. Moreau mentioned in Other People's Houses. I haven't read The Island of Dr. Moreau yet, so I may go with that one for a book mentioned in another book. We'll see. I haven't really decided yet. I may still find something else.

[Dottie]

If anyone needs a recommended book, The Woman in the Window was great!! It's a psychological thriller that will check off a few boxes if you use one book for more than one category. I couldn't put it down till I finished it. I was walking around the house while reading! Reminds me of a few other good psycho thrillers, like Gone Girl, Before I Go To Sleep, The Girl on The Train, The Women in Cabin 10, etc...

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Thanks for the recommendation, Dottie! I have that on my want to read list. :)

Remember, you can only use a book once to check off one task.

I'm in for as many as I can

They are a HUGE investment. I borrowed "Dragonfly in Amber" from the library, but couldn't get myself to open it. It just sat there being so large. lol hopefully I can read it some time.

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

A few more books mentioned in books that I've found while reading recently for those of you looking for books for this task.

The Island of Dr. Moreau mentioned in Other People's Houses
Robinson Crusoe mentioned in The German Girl
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and The Hobbit mentioned in Wonder

I'm surprised how many books mention other books when you're looking for it.

[Debra Diggs]

These books are mentioned in The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession.

- Dracula
- Thunderball
- Booked To Die
- The Monkey Wrench Gang
