Oh I see where I messed up. In my post in RWS plans I had Moo by Jane Smiley for 10.3 but when I posted it at #909, I used 10.4. Sorry about that! It was published in 1995 and I meant to use 10.4 as a combo point, but I’m still bad at numbers! Even when I’m not adding! (Smile)

This looks like there includes a female POV and a combo for 20.3. Let us know if this is incorrect.

You counted a combo for the same task - is this a typo and you meant another task?

I'm sorry, Bea. There are only 2 titles in this series and it doesn't look as if the author intends to continue it. No combo for 20.9.
