20.6. Seasoned Reader
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.

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford (GOODREADS AUTHOR) - I attest that I have never read this book before I read it for this task.

25.9 Pat's task: Narcissus and Echo

I chose Narcissus. Option A is a book with a first person narrator: Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson. The third line of the book shows the first person narrator and says: "I don't know where I am, how I came to be here."

I also read Option C, a book with one person on the cover, and read The Martian by Andy Weir by Andy Weir, which has just the one astronaut on the cover.

Both books are new to me.

30.9 -- Delicious Dee's task: You Are An Ironman

I chose options 3 and 4 for this task.

Option 3: A book you've been anticipating. I read Yes Please by Amy Poehler by Amy Poehler, a book I have been super excited about since it was announced, and that I got for Christmas and read in a day.

Option 4: A debut book. I read The Little Giant of Aberdeen County by Tiffany Baker by Tiffany Baker, which is her first novel according to her website (www.tiffanybaker.com).
