From Post 2004 (above), I forgot to mention that
My Man Jeeves was published before 1975 and Sentenced to Death was published after 1975. Sorry!
Ashley FLTask 50.1 (For the Love of Middle School)
For Book 1 (book that is also a TV series), I read Dexter Is Delicious by Jeff Lindsay. Actually, I listened to it on audio. Creepy!
For Book 2 (dystopian), I read Life as We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer (recommended to me *by* my middle schooler!). This is shelved as Dystopian on the main page.
For Book 3 I rolled a 1 (short book) and read two novellas in the same series: Winning the Wallflower: A Novella (50 pgs) and Storming the Castle (67 pages) by Eloisa James. In the eBook length verification thread, these total 117 pages.
**Eloisa James is a Goodreads Author -- since both novellas are by her, can I count this as one Goodreads Author credit??**
