Nope - not silly. Either way works for me, Denise. (Mine book for this task will probably be a Cotton Malone --character -- book because I just love that guy!).
Will that work?
Mod
Barb, it's okay to mix and match it however you like. So if you want to read 2 books for one task, and then 1 book for another, I'm good with it.
Does that help?

I had to scrounge through GR recs (I've read some, won't read some until I get to it, and flat out won't read some at all lol), but it was still something I'd been wanting to read. And when I looked it up on Amazon for using in another challenge, I saw that it was a freebie I'd won from the author in a contest.
