Re-post with actual book link!25.1 - Catherine T's Task: Auntie Tattin's Challenge
Book 1, by a male author, #1 in a series:
Attack on Titan, Vol. 1 by Hajime Isayama, new-to-me, first published 2010, 208 pages
Book Two, by a female author, not first book or #1:
Goong, Vol. 18: The Royal Palace by SoHee Park, #18 in series, new-to-me, first published 2015*, 384 pages
*The original Korean version of the final episode of Goong was published in 2010 – but best I can tell it was shorter and did not include the 150 pages of “extras” that my just-released English volume does. Extras include two more novellas/short stories as well as behind-the-scenes from the author. The 2010 version also has a completely different cover (Korean/Kindle single episode cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... ; My 2015 paperback cover: http://www.amazon.com/Goong-Vol-18-Ro...). To me, this makes the 2015 version a unique book from the 2010 publication of the single episode, but I did want to let you know in case the mods decide it can’t count.
Both books are new to me
