MountainKat | 31755 comments Here is your next task!

Task 13 - 94. Read 6 5 books published in sequential years, teams decide years.

Books for this task need to be initially published in sequential years, for example 2011-2012-2013-2014-2015. Teams decide which years to use. Please include the selected years in your completion posts along with which year your book was published. Remember to use the initial publication date. If there is a date listed at the top of the editions page use it, otherwise I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition regardless of format for the qualification.

MountainKat | 31755 comments Here is your next task!

Task 16 - 78. Read 6 5 books with alliteration in the title or author's name.

Books selected for this task need to have alliteration in either the title or the author's name. There can be one small word such as in or and between the alliterated words in the title. So books such as Spook Squad or Divided in Death would work. And authors like Lucy Lennox and Eli Easton would also work.
