25.5 - Perletwo's task: HAPPY RETURNS

In my family, fall means birthdays - we have three in three consecutive weeks at the end of September and the beginning of October, including *drumroll please* my own!

This task has two options:
Option 1: Read two books for two of the options offered, with a total length of no less than 500 pages.
Option 2: Read one book which fulfils two of the options offered, with a length of no less than 500 pages.

Required: State which option(s) you chose and include any required information when you post.

1. Mine is a September birthday. Read a book whose author's initials can be found in SEPTEMBER TWENTY-FIVE. All initials count, including middle ones. Letters may be used only as many times as they appear in the phrase. If the book has multiple authors, only one author with initials must be found in the phrase.
Required: If the book you choose has more than one author, a link to the qualifying author must be included when you post.

2. I will be turning 47 this fall! Read a book with a page count that includes a 4 or a 7.

3. The word September comes from the Latin root septem-, or seven, and originated in the old ten-month Roman calendar. Read a book set in or about ancient Rome. For the purposes of this task, ancient Rome will be defined as the time of the Roman empire [27 BC to 1000 AD]. This must be clear from the GR book description.

4. My birthday also happens to fall within the annual observance of Banned Books Week, Sept. 24-29. Read a book from one of these two lists: Best Banned, Censored, and Challenged Books or The Most Frequently Challenged Books. Note that many of the books on these lists are children's books; if your choice has the genre "childrens" or "kids" on it's main page, make sure it's in compliance with all the Seasonal Reading Challenge rules.
REQUIRED: State which list you used and the page your book is found on.
