Way to go Bryony!!!

[Patrizia, Contributor]

Whow!

I only have one task to do (Read a book that takes place in India or a book where the MC attends school), but I don 't know what to read. In my ebooks at most I've a MC who is a university professor ... I've a book partially set in India, but I read one of the same series a few weeks ago and I was not impressed, so now I don't want to read this one...

[Jan, Moderator]

I would take the professor for that task Patrizia! He "attends" school - just in a little different way.

[Patrizia, Contributor]

Good news for me, Jan!
For now I'll devote myself to the two monthly challenges of September, then I'll read one of the two books I possessed in which the protagonist is a university professor.
