Can it be plural - Questions for option 5
I'd be OK with it - I was mainly trying to avoid making people having to find a book with a ? in it - but it's been a while since I was running my own task, so I'll ask the mods if I can change with on my own or if I have ro ask them.

Is there a required page minimum for a combination of two tasks?I would like to use these two books:

Option# 4-The Member of the Wedding-listed on page 1 of Domestic Service List

Happy reading!

It is up to individual task creators to decide if they want to set page minimums. I decided not to, so the only rule that applies is that all books need to have at least 100 pages, so both of your books work.
Happy reading!

The task description doesn't actually say how many books are required to read, or whether an option can be repeated or not.
This is a 2 option task and options cannot be repeated.
Mod
Wayne, I love this prompt. I must have seen the title on my notifications earlier, because I've been singing that phrase all day long.
Wayne, just want to say thanks for this one-brought back wonderful memories of watching the show with my father when I was young.
Hi should the wording for option 5 be changed to reflect that we can use the plural as stated in post 8?
Mod
Nothing to do with the books lol, but Carol and I share the same birthday (26th April, I'm not 90 yet lol, she has 42 years on me lol)

Hi, could I please get The Good, the Bad and the History confirmed for humour MPG? It's last on the list at the moment and I don't want it to change before I complete the task! Thanks.
Please lock the MPG I asked for in message 27. I'm about done with the book.
Mod

It seems as though there has been quite a number of celebrities passing away recently, the most recent being football superstar, actor and civil rights activist Jim Brown, so I was quite delighted to discover that one of my favorites, Carol Burnett, was alive and well and hosting a celebration of her 90th birthday on TV. This task is in honor of Ms. Burnett and her groundbreaking show.
Read two books, from two different options.
Required: State your options
Option 1: Carol Burnett was born on April 26, 1933. Read a book that was first published ON or BEFORE that date. If you have the month but not the day, use the first day of the month. If you only have the year, use January 1 as the date
for example : Goodreads has the publication date listed only as "April 1933", assume it was published Apr 1st 1933.
Goodreads has "1933", you'd assume Jan 1st 1933
Option 2: The show would typically start off with Carol turning the house lights up and conducting a Q and A session with the audience. Quite often, someone would ask her to perform her famous Tarzan yell, and she would always oblige.
Read a book where ALL the letters in TARZAN can be found in the author's NAME.
Option 3: A large part of the show's success was the incredible comedic skill of the entire cast. What I enjoyed the most was their ability to ad lib. Tim Conway seemed to have a particular ability to make Harvey Korman crack up.
Read a book with a humor MPG.
Option 4: Carol's trademark character was that of a cleaning woman, complete with a mop and bucket.
Read a book from the list of Domestic Service
Required: State the page
Option 5: The Carol Burnett Show was a true variety show. Unfortuately for me, that meant that the music played wasn't my cup of tea. What I liked were groups like The Beatles, The Kinks, or Jefferson Airplane, just to name a few, but my favorite song by far was 96 Tears by ? and the Mysterians (and yes, the singer's name was ?. He'd gotten it legally changed.)
Read a book that either
A: Has the word "question" in the title or subtitle, singular or plural only.
or
B: has either 96 or 69 as the last two numbers of the page count
