message 14: by Petra (last edited Feb 28, 2013 07:19AM) (new)

Petra I'm going to try this one. I'm in the middle of reading Infinite Jest, which doesn't fit any of the options (and I won't finish it in February, I don't think :D), so I may not get many tasks done but will see what I can do:

Completed: 4/7

1. A book with a pink or red cover: The Gift of Rain (currently reading, lunch-time book)
2. A book with a red or pink TITLE: The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey (completed Feb 28th)
3. A love story: Doomsday Book (Kivrin loves the past & the family she becomes a part of; Dunworthy loves Kate & more) (completed Feb 16)
4. A book off of a friends shelf: The Twelve (completed Feb 18)
5. A book on your shelf that you have neglected to read.
6. A book by an author you love: Infinite Jest [completed 832 pages of 1079 plus many pages of footnotes (at least 40...probably more). Counting this one as "complete" because of the number of pages I've read unless there are objections.]
7. A book with a heart, cupid, kisses, lips etc. on the cover

Completed:
1 The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey (The Mysterious Benedict Society, #2) by Trenton Lee Stewart Doomsday Book (Oxford Time Travel, #1) by Connie Willis The Twelve (The Passage, #2) by Justin Cronin 5 Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace 7

Petra I completed 4 of the tasks.....maybe three.
I counted Infinite Jest as completed although I've still got about 250-ish pages left because of the number of pages already read this month (approx. 850-ish).
