50.1
Option 1: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
I was planning to read this for Task 30.8, Option 4, because I joined GR January 2009 and added this book on January 2009 - but it was not 250 pages long.

Option 2: Cinder by Marissa Meyer *Claiming GR Author Ticket*
This is not a reread. I started reading this book when it was first published and was getting so much hype (2012ish), but had to return it to the library before I finished it.

Option 3: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel *Claiming GR Author Ticket*
This is not a reread. It is from the Fiction category.
