Pick a month, country, and an interesting tidbit of that country.

All the tasks are up! Many "Thanks" to Marilyn, Bethany, Sam F, and Linda C for the wonderful tasks this month.

Have fun reading, we have a lot to choice from. :D

Can I use a book with a pseudonym for task 1.7 if I know the authors behind the pseudonym are from Canada?

Can't see why not - the person is still from Canada :)

For AMAZING RACE - August .... I recommend ITALY ... home to many Renaissance masterpieces, such as Michelangelo's David (in Florence).

Would someone mind picking for me in the surprise me task? I thought someone would come after me but looks like I might be the last one this month. Thank you so much.

Is this cover yellow enough?

For the Amazing Race - how about Australia? While Ireland is snake free, Australia hosts 17 of the world's most poisonous snakes. It has more animals that are deadly to humans, I think, than any other country. Great Barrier Reef consider one of the Wonders of the World.
