Square 2 Suggestions for the 16 Festive Tasks

Spent more time on my catalog of read books that I've rated 4-5 stars have a list of books for Square 2: November 5th.

 

Book themes for Guy Fawkes Night: Any book about the English monarchy (any genre), political treason, political thrillers, or where fire is a major theme, or fire is on the cover.

  • Firestarter by Stephen King
  • North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell (ISBN 0754055167)
  • 108 Days by Lisa Lindell
