25.2. Jenn Renee's task:Out with the Old, In with the New... and it's Fire
For my first book, I chose option 1 and read The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. (author's last name starts with E)

For my second book, I chose option 4 and read a book with a flame on the cover - Into the Devil's Den How an FBI Informant Got Inside the Aryan Nations and a Special Agent Got Him Out Alive by Dave Hall (the cover is also predominantly red, so would fit option 2).

Both authors were new to me.

25.9. Stacie MI's Task: Red Hot
For my first book, I chose Option B and read
Foundation and Empire, originally published in 1952.
For my second book, I chose Option C and picked the Dallas Stars - I read Agent to the Stars

30.6 Delicious Dee's task:Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction
I chose option B and read 2 nonfiction books.
For task 25.5, I read The Dressmaker: A Novel, primarily about the aftermath of the sinking of the Titanic. To learn more about this, I read Wreck and Sinking of the Titanic: The Ocean's Greatest Disaster: A Graphic and Thrilling Account of the Sinking of the Greatest Floating Palace Ever Built Carrying Down to Watery Graves More Than 1,500 Souls, which is a collection of newspaper articles, excerpts from the Senate hearings, etc.

For task 30.3, I read Winter's Bone, which involves the whole methamphetamine situation in a small Ozarks community. To find out more about this, I read Methland: The Death and Life of an American Small Town.
