TOTAL POINTS: 15
30.7 Confessions of an Ugly Stepsisterby Gregory Maguire
I think it's more a of a smirk, although after reading it I don't know why should would be smiling at all. I recommend that one. and The Body in the Libraryby Agatha Christie which was first published in 1941. It was my least favorite Agatha Christie so far, out of quite a few. You can skip it. 100 points
25.1 - Wendy MA's Task - And the Story Continues...I read two books in series that I really enjoy
To the Nines by Janet Evanovich - pretty obvious this is the 9th in the Stephanie Plum series
and What Are You Wearing To Die? by Patricia Sprinkle - this is listed as the 10th in the "Thoroughly Southern Mystery"series.
Both are fun, cozy reads with good solid characters. I think What Are You Wearing To Die? is the last in this series, which is kind of sad.
My totals now stand at:

wendyma20.6 LDB’s Task (Seasoned Reader) - Seeing Yourself in a Title
Read a book whose title includes all of the letters of your first, middle OR last name. Including sub-titles is fine, letters cannot be counted twice (i.e., if you have two of a certain letter in your name, the title must also have two of that letter), nick-names or shortened names are not accepted, and the letters in the title do not have to be in any particular order.
For example, my name is "Laura" so I could read "The GUeRnsey LiterAry And Potato Peel Pie Society," "The Book of LAUghteR And Forgetting," etc.

wendyma25.4 - Lisa MD's Task: Stay Tuned For Your Regularly Scheduled Program
You are all settled in the recliner, remote in hand, for a night of television watching. It’s that much anticipated time of year, when old favorites return and new shows premiere. You scroll through the menu on your big, flat-screen HDTV, then press the remote to tune in to your show; but wait, the t.v. goes static, develops rabbit ears, and your rocker fully reclines and you flip over backwards in time until you reach 1960.
For this task, roll The Random Dice Generator to determine which t.v. channel you have tuned into. The first number represents the 2010 Fall T.V. Line-up and the second number represents the 1960 Fall T.V. Line-up. You must read the two books, which correspond to your television shows OR if your regularly scheduled show is interrupted, you may CHOOSE to read the exceptions to your programming.

I picked this for the name "Agnes Nutter" but as I was reading I realized that Agnes is really only talked about in the book-she's not really a character. To be fair I decided to go with "Anathema Device"-a name I'm also glad isn't mine.

Task 15.1 - New HorizonsI went to the shelf "Memoirs", and picked Chelsea Handler's
My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands
So, I'm definitely no prude, and I like to watch/listen to comedy, so I was kind of hoping this would be an entertaining selection from a genre I don't generally read, but I was disappointed. Mostly, I was more bored than shocked, and definitely not amused. Memoirs aren't really my thing anyway, which is why I guess I'll stick to fiction!
Task 25.1 - And the Story Continues...
Dead and Gone
and
Dead in the Family both by Charlaine Harris

wendyma30.5 - Ms. Anderson and Tanja's Task: LIFE LESSONS
You don’t learn everything you need to know in school—sometimes you learn from life’s curriculum.
You’ll read two books for this task. Roll a die twice, once for each book, or use Roll the Dice. Read a book that corresponds to each number you roll. If you roll the same number twice, both books should go along with that same lesson. Required: When claiming points, say what numbers you rolled and a word or two about how your book is connected to the lesson (if it isn't obvious).
1. Don’t Feed the Trolls: Read a fantasy novel or a book featuring a mythical or supernatural creature. Ex. Marked
2. Learn from Your Mistakes: Read a book where the title contains a word from this list of commonly misspelled words: Misspelled Words Ex. The Five People You Meet in Heaven
3. Mind Your P’s and Q’s: Read a book where the author has a P or Q in his or her name. Ex. Philip K. Dick, Laura Esquivel
4. Don't Eat Yellow Snow: Ignore the hype and judge for yourself! Read a highly rated book (4.1+ average rating) and if you would like, tell us whether or not you liked the book. Ex. The Hunger Games, The Pillars of the Earth
I read Unlocked by Grant 4.70 rating Goodreads author
5. Sometimes We Have to Choose the Lesser of Two Evils: Read a book that's controversial to you. Ex. Lolita, The Chocolate War
The political dirt bags win. I read Mounting Fears by Stuart Woods
6. The Most Important Sex Organ is the Brain: Read a nonfiction book about something you don't know (or don't know well). Ex. The Year 1000, Three Cups of Tea
