15.10. Trash to Treasure.Help Thread
Using the “read” list for any of your GR friends, read a book that your friend gave only 1 or 2 stars, but that sounds like a book you might like. This must be a book that you’ve never read before.
Alternately, you can use the "read" list of one of the SRC mods and choose a 1 or 2 star book from one of those lists: Dlmrose's Read list, Kristina Simon's Read list, Sandy's Read list.
Required: Name the friend or mod whose list you used and state that this book is new to you.
I read Dark Waters, which is new to me. DLMrose gave it a 2. I more or less agree, although I gave it a 3 because I think I would read a sequel, just to find out what happens to the characters.
