The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

20.2 - Rookie At the Top - Bamaace83's task: Family Vacations
Summer months always bring multiple opportunities for family activities. Growing up, we were shipped off to our grandparents’ houses for a few weeks. Family reunions, day trips, and sporting events were also on the family summer calendar. Memories were made that I will cherish for a lifetime. For this challenge, it’s a perfect time to remember our families.

Option 1: Read a book with the genre "Family" on the main page. For example: The Last Song, If I Stay, My Sister's Keeper, The Glass Castle, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, The Art of Racing in the Rain

Option 2:Read a book with one of the following words in its title or subtitle: “family”, “vacation”, or “reunion”. Plural versions are acceptable, but no other variations are allowed.

Just want to get this okayed for Option 1 in case Family disappears from the genre list. :)

The Light Between Oceans

For option 1, could I have The Revenge of the Radioactive Lady ? Family is the last genre on the list as of right now...

Since genres have a habit of disappearing from the list, can I please have Wonder approved for option 1?

Sure, approved. :) I may need to slip this book in my readings for the summer. It looks popular.

Approved. :) Book 17, wow, I think I've only read the first one. I might need to go back to those at some point.

Sure approved! :) Looking at the cover of the book for awhile would make me want to go get a "snack."

Thank you! And, LOL!

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate has family on the front page but it may fall off, so I'd like to get it approved please :) It's listed as 'children's' too but I'll make sure my edition is over 300 pages.

Sure, approved. Thanks for making sure it's over 300 pages.

Vampire in Denial - Dale Mayer or Vampire Vacation - C.J. Ellisson or Reunion - Jeff Bennington?

Could you please approve Moral Disorder: and Other Stories for family in case the genre drops off the main page later?

Thanks.

With this task, series titles are excluded, so Vampire in Denial will not work, but either Vampire Vacation or Reunion would work for option 2.

Approved! :) Have fun reading!

Could you please approve The Man of Property: The Forsyte Saga for Option 1?

The 'family' genre is listed on the main page, but I'm worried that it might change before I read/report.
