Paging All Bookworms! discussion

One of the best things about the holiday season (IMHO) is "leftovers" from all those holiday feasts. With all the stress and busy-ness of the season, it's nice to just heat up some turkey and gravy and be done with dinner.

So, what "leftovers" do you have from challenges we've posted here this year? Maybe you never got to that book translated from a different language (April 2017), or didn't find a book with a baked good on the cover (June 2017) ... now's the time to get them done.

If you finished all the tasks this year ... read any five books of your choice.

Identify the task -and- the month the task first appeared.

---------------------------------------------------------

Rules of the challenge
Books must be at least 100 pages in length
A book counts for only ONE task per challenge (but feel free to use it for other challenges ... in the past or in another group).
Re-reads are fine, as long as you actually read the entire book
Book should be finished within the time-frame of the challenge.
Any format ("dead tree," e-book, audio...) is fine.

If you want acknowledgement that you have completed the challenge you MUST include the date you finished reading each book.

As always, have fun!

I'm in again. Hopefully I have gotten over my slump. The last couple of books have been good and I started a good one yesterday but didn't get much reading done yet.
