These work!
Can I get approval for a couple of books please?From The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time:
Captain Corelli's Mandolin and Behind the Scenes at the Museum
Part of the reason I'm loving this task so much is that I try to fit my books into the SRC and RwS! I think I just found the memoir I want to read for the SRC and it pairs up with our group read, The New Jim Crow nicely, too:From the The Goldfinch:
Men We Reaped: A Memoir
Of course, as I was looking anyway, I found a couple more ;)
The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing
Instructions for a Heatwave
Thanks so much!

Thanks, Liz,When we claim this task, do we have to include the book that we used from the list, or since they are in the database, do we just claim the book and call it good?

I don't know ;) The Luminaries wasn't there before and I already had it down for the lists from The Economist, so figured I would get 20 points for it and a combo since it's a jumbo!
I'm actually keeping my eye out for Some Luck because I can't find another place for it, my hold at the library just came in and I'm reading my square peg right now, so i can't use it there!

Wow, these do change quickly! I "lost" one (The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling from Tess of the D'Urbervilles) I had penciled in because I hadn't posted it here in time. (It will fit elsewhere, but still.....) Anyways, I'll post here more promptly! And so .....From The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time: Black Swan Green, The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox
