10.6 It's a debut novel which is #2 in the Book Riot 2017 Read Harder challenge
10.8 Pepper is on the list of cat names
15.5 If you haven't read her other book

20.6 Option 1: Title has three P's
25.2 Option 1: The letters PURR are in the title

Oops! I haven't seen this before, sorry. But I think some of my suggestions are different.

Dee (austhokie) | 8946 comments thanks to both of you - pending approval, I'm probably goig to use for 30.1 :) since I didn't have a book slotted in there yet

or if not approved, then 30.7

Ed Lehman | 809 comments Hmmm...just realized that The Hand of Ethelberta doesn't fit the Book 2 task for 25.7 as I had been planning. Where else would it fit...as well as the book I was going to pair it with in 25.7 The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds ?


message 17: by Donna (new)

Donna | 1271 comments I'm sure there are more matches, but this is what stood out to me.

your first book:
15.7 - word HAND
20.7 - opt. 4


your second book:
10.1

M A R I G O L D S .... I count 9 different letters in this word ... so it DOES fit 25.7, option 1

You'd still need a book by an author with exactly 9 letters in his/her name.

Dee (austhokie) | 8946 comments any thoughts on Natchez Burning? I don't know if i can get it read before the end of the season - but i'm going to try ;)

Julia (julia103) | 2714 comments I don't know what tasks you've already done, so not sure if this helps:

15.4 Book 2 (author initials in Western Lowland Gorilla)
20.5 (the edition you linked to has 791 pages)
30.1 Option 4 (author initials in STOCKING STUFFER)
30.3 Option 3 (genre Thriller)
