20.8 - Nickels & Dimes - Angie CA's task: 5+5, 5+10, and 10+10 equals 20!

20.6 - Seasoned Reader - Alicia T's task: Deployment



Option 3: Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder- If there’s one thing about deployments that I try to convey to my friends, it’s that you have to get creative with your relationship. In today’s world of technology, my husband and I almost have to be archaic with our affections. We write each other hand written letters, I send care packages full of his favorite snack foods, and he sends me flowers for no reason at all. We have to put a lot of thought and effort into making one another feel good emotionally when we can’t physically be next to each other. It’s forced us to think about all the little romantic gestures we can do, so for this option read a book with the genre "Romance" on the goodread’s main page. The genre may be stand alone or embedded.


I read Groundswell for this task. It is NOT a reread. Romance is listed on its main page and it was approved on the help thread

30.8 -- Morgan Faeriesfolly's task: Make Your TBR List Say Uncle -
Choose TWO different options below and read TWO books. Books should be at least 250 pages each.

Option 2 :: RED ALL OVER :: World AIDS Day is December 1st, and AIDS is the reason my Uncle is no longer with us. To remember all of all those who have died from or currently live with AIDS/HIV, read a book that has a cover that is at least 75% red.


The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club (Lord Peter Wimsey #5) by Dorothy L. Sayers The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club

Option 6 :: AS YOU WISH :: One of the last things that I watched with my Uncle was the movie The Princess Bride. It was one of his favorites as well as mine. Read a book in which royalty (defined for this task as: prince, queen, king, or princess) or pirates (or both!) play a significant role. This should be clear in the book’s main page description and/or in reviews on the main page.

Summer Knight - In which professional wizard Harry Dresden has no choice but to take on the Winter Queen of Faerie as a client, to settle a dispute with the Summer Queen that could lead to war. (It's on the GR page, but only if you click *more* on the summary, so.)
