30.7 - Delicious Dee's task: Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover Coin Flip: 1 head, 1 tails
Cover I liked:
- The cover is eye catching, the bold colors on the white background. Made me want to learn more. The book was every bit as good as it's cover. Cover I didn't like:
- Cover is boring and the shade of orange was a turn off. Just not a fan of it. Funny, the book turned out to be pretty boring as well. Goodreads Author: R.E. Washington

Lauren Marie20.2 - Rookie on Top - Connie's task: The Nutcracker
"The Nutcracker" ballet is a holiday favorite for many families. It can involve casting hundreds of people, from young children to older adults, in a professional production. This task involves auditioning for one of these roles. No dancing is required, just read one book from the following options:
1. Clara and Fritz, the Stahlbaum children
Read a book where a child is a main character. For the purposes of this task, a child is defined as someone who is 18 years old or younger. Examples: The Hunger Games, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. In this book Harry Potter is the main character and he is eleven.

10.2 As You Like It: The Simple Truth by David Baldacci
The shelf that was used for the recommendation was my New York Times # 1 books shelf. I didn't feel this was one of Baldacci's better novels.
25.1 - Rachel Lee's task: Where Have All the Flowers Gone?
Marigold (pain and grief): Read a book where death is central to the plot (murder mysteries would work well here).
Too Many Murders by Colleen McCullough
Death was a huge part of this book as it starts with 12 separate murders. I had wanted to read another book by Colleen McCullough ever since reading the Thorn Birds but just hadn't gotten around to it.
AND
Sweetbriar (simplicity): Read a book with a one word title. Subtitles may be ignored.
