I am going to read Wings Of Fire by Charles Todd #2 in the Inspector Rutledge series.

I'm going with The Entity Within by Cat Devon, which is #2 in the Entity series.

The Reptile Room (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #2) would this work?

yes

Fragments (Partials Sequence #2)

I will be starting with Three Sisters (Blackberry Island #2)

So J.D. Robb's Time of Death which includes Eternity in Death, Ritual in Death and Missing in Death, the three are all .5's. Do I read the whole book or one of the .5's? Ok, never mind, I reread the task description and answered my own question.

The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton

This book is #2 in the Faraway Tree Series. Would this book be acceptable?

I'm looking for a novella to go with another challenge. Will either of these work?
Candide by Voltaire
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

No, they need to be identified as part of a series on GR

The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict

It is listed as part of a series 0.5. Would this be acceptable?

yes

Is it OK to combine X.5 books to meet the page total? I read Dream Dark (Caster Chronicles 2.5) because both GR and Amazon say the ebook is 75 pages (OK for one 5-point task), but after buying it, I found out the story is only 41 pages. If I added A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows (Outlander 8.5 - listed as 50 pages) that would take me to 91 pages.

No, sorry, combos won't work- only poetry and plays may be combined

OK, thanks.

Does work for this task?
It's 12.5 in Fool's Gold series but it's not novella.
