My copy has been languishing in a bin that started as a "nighttime reading" TBR stack in grad school, then migrated to under my desk at my first condo, and has been continuing to accumulate dust under the desk in my office at the house I currently live in (about 4 years now).

perletwo25.13 - Morgan Faeriesfolly's task: It's not Usagi - This is a TWO BOOK task. Choose TWO DIFFERENT options and read a book for each.
Option 3: Since Kaguya-hime is sent to Earth alone and keeps her sadness to herself for awhile before she tells her parents what has made her so upset, read a book with a single girl/woman on the cover. There should be no other human or human forms present on the cover. Animals are okay. Can be a cartoon version of a woman, but not a doll or a only a silhouette.
Required: Post the cover when claiming the task for completion.
Born with TeethOption 5: Whenever the Bamboo Cutter cut down a stalk of bamboo after finding baby Kaguya-hime, he found a small gold nugget. This was sent from the people of the Moon to him to help in the costs of raising their temporarily exiled princess. To help him count all these gold nuggets, read a book with a counting NUMBER found in the TITLE. The number can be spelled out like one, two, three or in numerical form; 1, 2, 3. Hyphenated number words, like twenty-one and thousand-dollar, will work.Ordinal numbers (First/1st) do NOT work. Once, Twice, etc. also do NOT work.
