April 2020 Mini Challenge - Passover and Easter ...
Begins: 01April20 / Ends: 30April20



Read five (or more) books by authors whose first and last initials can be found in PASSOVER and/or EASTER.

You MAY take one letter from Easter and another letter from Passover. e.g. Elizabeth Peters


===========================================


All books used must be a minimum of 100 pages long - Page length determined by HARDCOVER 1st edition. If there is no Hardcover, then the most popular paperback governs page #.

You may read in any format - text, audio or e-book. If using audio or e-book I suggest using Amazon.com's "look inside" feature to get a page number for your quote.

You MUST finish the book before you can claim credit.

EXAMPLE of a successful post:
E.A. in Easter - Ellery Adams / Pecan Pies and Homicides ✔ - 15May19

You MUST finish the book before you can claim credit for completing the task.

If you'd like to be recognized as finishing, the challenge, please post a new comment alerting me to your finish. I do not get notifications when you edit your original post.

Have Fun!
