SBC winners come in here!

Can you guys do me a huge favor and each post your 25 point challenge here?  I know you've all posted them somewhere else, but I'd like to link to this post on the book bio so people can see it exactly as you wrote it (and I don't want to track them all down).  Also, I want to make sure I've got all of them - I think at this point we've got the five winners.

My 25 point task is to experience a book two ways.

First read a book and then either listen to the audio book, watch the movie based on the book, read the comic book based on the book, etc.

Write a short post on which medium you preferred. 

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Bios
Adventures of A. Cook

Here's mine:

Before and After

This task is inspired by a Jeopardy category.  You will have to read two books- the last word(s) of one title will be the first word(s) of the second.  For example:

A Time to Kill and To Kill a Mockingbird

Gone with the Wind (or The Name of the Wind)and Wind in the Willows

Fight Club and Club Dead 

The Thirteenth Tale and A Tale of Two Cities 
Go Yankees!

Mine: 

Many NBCers have their Goodreads shelves linked in their siggy.  Pick a nestie and read one of her 5-star books and one of her 1-star books (or 2-star if she doesn’t have a 1-star).  Report back on which nestie you picked, what you thought of the books and how your ratings compared to the nestie you picked.

Here's my 25 pt task:

Read a non-fiction book about Africa or the Middle East (history, politics, geography, etc).  The book can be about a particular country or the region in general.  Post your thoughts on the book and whether or not the book impacted your impressions/opinions regarding this part of the world.

Read a book about urban farming, sustainable agriculture, or American food policy (200 pages +, not an audiobook) and grow an edible plant. Post a 100 word response to the book and a picture of your plant. Recipes and photos of what you cook with your plant are encouraged but totally optional. If you can't grow a plant, read at least 3 children's books that are set on a farm or in a garden with a child of the appropriate age and post which one was your favorite, which was the child's favorite and why.
