The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

20.2 - Rookie at the Top - Rina's Task: Tallinn

I grew up in Tallinn, Estonia, and I think that with its many sights, attractions and museums Tallinn works well for the museum-themed Spring Challenge.

Please choose 1 of the options below.
Required: Identify the option.

1. The name Tallinn is Estonian. It is usually thought to be derived from "Taani linna", meaning Danish town.
Read a book with at least 2 pairs of double letters in the title and/or subtitle.
ex. Assassination Vacation SS, SS; Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk LL, NN; All the Light We Cannot See LL, NN, (EE).

2. Tallinn’s Old Town was entered on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites in 1997 as an „exceptionally complete and well preserved example of a medieval northern European trading city“.
Read a book from the Medieval Era fiction list.
Required: Please state which page the book can be found on when you post.

3. Kiek in de Kök - this massive, 38m-high cannon tower houses an extensive museum of the town's fortifications, weapons and medieval-era life. The tower's unusual name literally means “Peek into the Kitchen.” The structure was so high that medieval guards joked they could see right down the chimneys and into the kitchens of the houses below.
Read a book with some type of food on the cover. The food must be in a form that is ready to eat or ready to be prepared in a kitchen, for instance, a grilled steak works, a cow does not; fried chicken would work, a chicken does not. Beverages are not included.

Required: Include the cover

4. Tallinn Legends - this interactive experience takes you on a trip through Tallinn's past in the form of theatrical and interactive exhibits. The journey involves nine rooms and nine different legends that have contributed to the folklore of this medieval city.

Does Murder on the SS Rosa: a cozy historical mystery - a novella work for Option 1? (SS in title, ll in "novella" in subtitle) I'm not sure if that's a valid subtitle.

It is a valid subtitle if it appears in the GR record. It will work, but subtitle has to be in the GR record when you post your completion.
