Sara G20.1 - Most Improved Player - Maddie O's Task: A Year of Improvements
Option 3: In order to get through a difficult time about a year ago, I started voraciously reading fantasy novels for an escape. I haven’t slowed down since, and I’m a much happier person now that reading has become my major hobby. I’ve since started to read more widely, but I think that fantasy will always be my most beloved genre. For this option, read a book from the first five pages of the Most Interesting Magic System Listopia.
The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett
This book is on page 1, #39, on the Listopia.
20.5 - Bigger is Better - DebraJean's Task: LET IT SNOW!
Option 1. Read a book with the word WINTER or SNOW in the title or subtitle. Plurals, possessives, participles, and past tense variations of these words are OK, but the word or its variation must stand alone, not be part of a compound word.
The Winter Mantle by Elizabeth Chadwick
I read the Kindle edition. The most shelved paperback edition here has 512 pages.
