assuming the 2nd book can be verified for length (I saw the ebook edition was under 100 pages and am not sure if that qualifies for a 25-point task.)

Hi, I'd just like to confirm that my wildcard choice is ok.

I chose Case Histories by Kate Atkinson as I'm from England and I mostly read female fiction writers.

So my wildcard choice is The Diary of a Young Girl

approved.

Hi, my Option 1 favourites are Australia, Female, and Fiction. So can I confirm that The Prince works as the opposite? The Male & Europe should be right, but just wanted to verify the non-fiction. Genre shows non-fiction but also 'literature' and other seemingly incompatible genres.

Meg, The Prince is approved.

A little uncertain about the directions for the 25.4 Opposites Attract Challenge. I chose Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver for Option 1: Your Favorites (fiction book by a female author that takes place in America). Can I read Zeitoun by Dave Eggers (biographical non-fiction by a male author) for Option 3: Wild Card? I know I can't use it for Option 2 since the book's setting is not in South America, but the book only needs to be a biography or memoir in order to have it count for Option 3, right?

Yes, Jasmine, you are correct. Option 2 needs to be a complete opposite on all three points (gender, fiction/nonfiction and continent). Option 3 - Wild Card just needs to be one opposite from what you've selected for your other book in the task.
