Nick KY15.6 Tax Day. I read Ethics, Money and Sport: This Sporting Mammon by Adrian J. Walsh.
15.7 Pi Day. I read Manor of Death by Leslie Caine, #3 in the Domestic Bliss Murder series.
20.6 Diane Whitney’s I Spy. Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis, 317 pages, baseball on the cover. This is a re-read, and, though I enjoyed it, I really did not want to read it again – but I had a hugely hard time finding a book that fit the criteria for this task. (I guess that’s what makes it a challenge.) So I sought out a copy that had the baseball on the cover and the appropriate page numbers. (I had read a different edition before.) Hopefully, everything works.

I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
Read a book found on the shelf Child Narrator. I Capture the Castle is found on page 2, number 89 on the list. It does not have childrens or kids as a main page genre.
I listened to an abridged audiobook, and the GR page doesn't indicate how long it was. This is the same edition http://www.amazon.com/I-Capture-the-C...
The Product Details indicate that the listening time is 4 hours and 52 minutes.
There are no page requirements for this task so I understand that if an abridged audiobook is over 2 hours it is ok.
