I'm confused a bit by the wording of a task and wanted to double-check before I use it incorrectly:Read a book with an author using a pen name - do you mean:
A. written by an author/author duo using a (single) pen name
B. with a author character who used a pen name in the story
(C. pick the one I like more *grins*)
:D I like the approach, so I'll accept either (I should have put "by an author", I guess ;)
Melindam wrote: ":D I like the approach, so I'll accept either (I should have put "by an author", I guess ;)"Thank you! That was what I picked my books for :-D
Excuse me but I do have a question. It says Read a Book from this List Portal. Which portal or list is that? I can't find a link. There are no books that I can find when I click the link of the World Book Day.
Hi,In the 2nd post, where the tasks are first listed, the word Portal itself is the link, you need to click on it.
I just checked and it's working.
