You're welcome. Hope that helps to line up the covers side to side. LOL, took me awhile to figure it out. After the GR update, from what I've read we have to use the paragraph symbols to do it every time. So simple, now that I know it, lol.

Task 20.2. April Showers

Option A, number 2: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Listed as #115 on the list Books that Made You Cry

I've read this book dozens of times now, and certain parts never fail to get me. The part of the story (view spoiler)[with Lydia and Wickham just kills me--although it wouldn't be such a disaster in today's world, at that time, Lydia was absolutely ruining her life and had no idea that she was doing it. Girls in that period had so much less choice, and she would find herself stuck in an unhappy marriage forever. (hide spoiler)].

This is a reread.
